VIP Modpack

This mod is intended to overhaul most of the vanilla game by combining several other mods. It is intended to have a "vanilla" feel, so no extra content such as new cultures, new districts or new technologies will be added. Thanks to the character limit, in-game it'll be named "VIP Modpack".

Thanks for the amazing Arkalis for the revised patch notes: https://sites.google.com/view/vip-mod

Desertion: https://mod.io/g/humankind/m/desertion

Enhanced Events: https://humankind.old.mod.io/enhanced-events

Don't Starve: https://humankind.old.mod.io/dont-starve - Not in this pack anymore. Don't Starve is obsolete as it was made a feature of the base game

Also added a new Event that punishes players that don’t have religious unity. It may happen whenever you have cities converted to other player’s religions and can make you lose stability or population. Picking Secularism (Irreligion civic) will stop it from happening, and picking either option of the Unbelievers Civic can mitigate it. Intention is to give more importance to religion gameplay and encourage players to change state religion.

Added Ningauble's suggestion for City Cap Management: Being Bankrupt will remove Influence instead of Stability, and going over City Cap will lower your stability directly instead of removing influence. To avoid creating a death spiral, added an effect to revolution that will help bring your influence and money close to zero. Also incorporated a nerf to unattached outposts, which will not generate money or science anymore.

Your suggestions and comments are very much welcome, either down here in the comment section or as a commenter directly on the patchnotes file.

Special thanks to ProPAIN!, Kcazthemighty, SmileyDA, Ningauble, Shakee, FreeThinker and FurryProfilePic for inspiration and for your help in making mods. Thanks also to Tonlo for the inspiration on a few of the Religious Civics and Arphenix for the great feedback in the Amplitude Discord. Thanks Atvishees for the inspiration behind the Denser Districts mod. Thanks @asfasdfasdfsdafasdfa for pointing out the cut forest timer scales with gamespeed but it shouldn't. Special thanks to all comments and feedback, I am reading you and will keep updating this as we go on.

A huge thank you to the amazing kul for the Religion Woes event custom art and stygma for the Carbon Recapture repeatable custom art.

BUG WARNING
There is a bug in the base game that can happen with any and all mods named the "missing uimapper bug". It happens whether you change your mod loadout mid-session. To avoid it, open up the game, select all mods you want, choose apply, play. If you go back to the mod screen and apply another mod loadout the game UI will break, and you'll be able to end your turn without selecting research, moving your units, choosing production for your cities, and other weird effects. If you want to play with different mods, close the game, reopen it, then select your mods. This works to avoid the MISSING UIMAPPER bug on any and all mods you choose.

MISSING UIMAPPER can ALSO show if you open the game, try to load your last modded game by clicking "continue", fail, go to the mod screen and apply the correct mods, then load the game. Always always always make sure you open the game and select the mods as the first thing you do. If you're in doubt, RESTART THE GAME. This helps avoiding the bug every time.

MISSING INFORMATION BUG

In case you're having a crash when you try to play with VIP, @Discipuli found a possible solution: change the windows display language of your machine. The bug shows a popup windwo that starts with something like this:

Missing information for runtime module (name: 'VIP Modpack.3c459bbeb2e744ba9e50a11f59680687.5.20').

Also by @Discipuli, here's a printscreen of the region-changing screen on Windows: https://prnt.sc/RNIbUZ3cfhwO
