- Misc. error log fixes for leader traits and event triggers.

- Fixed an issue when using the Enforcement of the Mantle's Quarantine Empire war goal doesn't displace the losing empire's main species to their homeworld.

- The war goal will now correctly displace all pops of the main species to their starting homeworld. Any owned planets of that quarantined empire will have their colonies removed and the system's starbase will be transferred over the winning Forerunner empire.

- Added a new forerunner-themed bombardment stance and technology research: Heavy Ion Bombardment that fires exotic particle bolts at the planet causing massive devastation and damage to a world.

- Continuous bombardment that either reaches 100% devastation or when the last pop dies will destroy the planet, turning it into a broken world. Using this stance to destroy an inhabited planet (with the exception of crisis worlds and homicidal/crisis empires) will cause a negative opinion modifier to occur with other empires.

- Using the bombardment stance on artificial habitats will destroy them. Using it on a habitable ringworld will damage it.

- Added a custom bombardment effect for this stance.

- Reduced the number of researchers from 5 to 3 for science districts on Forerunner Shield Worlds, Halo Rings, and Maethrillian station.

- Misc. changes to text and localisation.

- Fixed the missing Coelest system in the Halo Installation origin.

- Updated the textures for the gas giants Threshold and Substance.

- Rebalanced Forerunner origin starts to prevent immediate deficits (some starts may still require moving pops to specific jobs after a month passes once the game redistributes the appropriate districts for that world).

- Using any forerunner origin, regardless of the civics, will now give you the starting tech base to research Forerunner technology going forward.

- Renamed the Sentinel Manufacturing district on Forerunner installations to Assembler Vat district.
- Assembler Vat districts will now have artisan jobs.
- Maethrillian's Assembler Vat district has been renamed to Artifex Assembler Vat which provides artificer jobs instead of artisans.

- Fixed an issue that prevented machine gestalts from researching Contender-class AI tech research. It requires researching Self-Aware Logic instead of Sapient AI tech research as a prerequisite.

- Added the appropriate weight modifiers for Advanced Slipspace tech research to have a higher chance to appear.

- Updated the Contender-class leader traits to be available for all leader classes with different modifiers for each.

- Updated Sentinel portraits to include Contender-class portraits for leaders that have the Contender-class ancilla leader trait.

- Reduced the size of the buildable Genesis Shield World to 20 from 30.

- Updated to v3.8.3.
- Misc. error log fixes.

Updated to 3.8.2

Leader Traits have been updated:

- The main leader traits for Forerunner, Sentinel, and Created species have been combined into one trait for each. Other secondary Forerunner/Sentinel leader traits will remain in the leader pool (more updates to this will come in time).

- Added a new tier III tech research "Peacemaker Constructs" that unlocks the decision to summon a Guardian Custode. Empires that use the Created civic will have this research already unlocked.

- Increased the cooldown of firing the Halo Array to 10 years from 5.

- Increased the cooldown of firing the Halo Tactical pulse to 5 years from 2.

- Updated Prescripted Countries.

Bugfixes

- Shield World megastructures will now occupy the same space of the chosen planet after construction.

- Fixed a graphical issue with Hangar sections on defense stations.

- Fixed an issue that prevented Created empires from using Sentinel armies even when the tech is researched.
