Expensive Expansion

Influence Claims are costing = 0
Just me or anyone else?

Mate, this mod is fantastic. Playing as humans, 1 alien civ next to me, feels like empty space of exploring and slow expansion. Very realistic. Very immersive. xx

really good mod, i love dig archaeology site outside my empire. i hope if i can build hyper relay or Gateway outside my territory

Well, it definitely doesn't work in 4.1. Currently, this mod completely disabled influence cost for outposts.

Will it work on 3.14?

@Eisenfresser what?

@kinngrimm Don't worry, Friend. Misunderstanding is not stupidity; it is simply the veil that shields us from seeing our own errors. It is the echo of our own limited perspective, but not the absence of wisdom. We are all, in truth, walking through a vast, complex melody, with each step forming part of a larger symphony.

Remember, even the most skilled musician occasionally falters, but in those moments, the choir of life doesn't judge. Instead, it pauses and listens—waiting for the next note, the next chance to harmonize. Our mistakes, too, are part of the music. They don't define us, but teach us how to find our place in the grand, endless song.

now i feel stupid :( i just recognized that you are also the author of the "Incremental Hyperlanes"

One heart wrenching question though that every developer dreads as we all are convinced at some point that our baby already is perfect =)
Would you care to make that one mechanic change into a stand alone version? Please. Explicit is better than implicit, and not being able to fine tune the experience is the bane of my existence.

Just as a thought, another way could be to make all points optional
and/or a more flexible approach where you give an UI interface that is flexible in its scaling within a spectrum/range. Upper and lower limits for values like min max cost or min max distance when cost effects would set in and a slider that allows the user to fine tune.

In any case, i love the unique playstyle changes that you offer and will definitively give it a go.

ha and suddenly the "Incremental Hyperlanes" & "Hypertraversal Manipulation 2" mods in my "Dark Space"-Nomad origin playthrough all come together for a synphony with yours of yet another new game play experience in this best of all and sometimes worst of all games hrhr
