@Pinenuts Never had a chance to use that mod, but I am copying logic from the files.

The description sounds like it is something like Living Star System mod that we had before. Right?

That update was working for you? Ok I will revert it.

Okay, now im confused - last save the Civilian Ships were neutral and didnt clutter and now they are back to being mine again?
Sayushi 15 Sep @ 8:02am 
Desah they were moved for me by now

If they didn't show up at outliner, than would be worthwhile immersion mod, but with such spum, it's just too distracting from management of empire, I completely forgot about science ships closer to midgame, just because there's a ton of construction ships. Hopefully when update and add their own class, they won't show up and make basic outliner painfully hard to navigate.

Great, thank you! If you are moving to neutral ships, I would like to make the the suggestion to also disconnect the ship set type from your empire type and choose shipsets that closer resemble civilian freighters, etc.
For example, the reptilian construction ship hardly looks like a freighter, while the Mammalian or Reptile Colony ships actually look like heavy weight freighters designed for moving massive amounts of cargo through empires. If this is possible, I think this would further deepen the illusion.
In the future this could also mean having actual freighter models that are self made if some day possible.

Thanks for listening to suggestions in the first place tho! :)

why would I want this mod if the "civilian ships" are just construction ships clogging up my outlliner? what?
