A MATCH CAN'T BOX BUT A TIN CAN!

- The Ascension Perk ''Pursuit of the Past'' now requires either the ZOFE Galactic Ascendancy perk or Galactic contender to be selected.

- Added new event ''The End of Decadence'' with a MTTH of 5 years after you researched the alpha tier generator. It grants you the ''Energize Society'' edict.

RAINCOATS ARE NOT MADE OF RAIN!

PRAISE THE SUN!

- Changed Fallen Empire spawn to use the new Dimensionsonal Fabricator as well.
- Removed block overwrite for "tech_ascended_society_2" which prevented many ZOFE buildings from being buildable. Instead now only the old ZOFE empyrean shrine building is directly blocked from being built since I am using the ACOT version instead.

THIS IS NOT STELLARIS, SHAGGY

- Changed the Ascended Empires ship designs to use ACOT components now. This should ACOTify Lost Empires as well and any spawned ZOFE ships.

ALL IS UNIFIED NOW, RESISTANCE IS IMPOLITE

THE HIVE MIND, MINDS ALL!

- Restriced Fallen Empires from building Dark Palaces since they are not supposed to build Alpha Tier stuff in the first place but did so because they cheat all the technologies!
