α 0.6b

TEST/TRIAL FOCUS
> Faction demands
> Missing art/assets/effects
> Gigas/PD compatibility

CODING
> Added several temporal code definitions for "future additions"
> Improved the ai secondary economic tutorship system, slowly adding functionality modules back
* Note : This is in preparation of future paradox ai changes, evolved ai is done in parallel and lacks, atm, a 90% of its functionality
> Made tec_uses_food_buildings = yes more reliable and flexible to allow more empire playstyles in the future

> Some generally modified NGameplay defines will be separated into a 01_evolved_defines.txt file for max compatibility
* This will allow more traditions/aps/building compatibility

> Small tweaks on can_species_be_assembled game rule (trait_tec_lithoid_sedimentary)

COMPATIBILITY
* Note: Features must be tested to ensure compatibility patches are done accordingly, report any failing feature please
* Note2: For compatibility and loading reasons, all mods must be placed ABOVE evolved in load (evolved must be put at the bottom, before external compatches)
> Implemented FULL internal compatibility with Gigastructures & More
> Implemented FULL internal compatibility with Planetary Diversity & submods
> Implemented FULL internal compatibility with Expanded Starbases & mods of the likenessç


FIXES
General fixes
> Fixed choice overflow on contact events with machines for spiritualist
> Fixed wrong tier requisite for certain planet unique buildings
AI
> Adjusted economic budgets to prevent certain types of AI empires attempting a one-system-challenge
> AIs will have higher chances of creating a branch office on non-profitable planets (BOs are profitable per se)

Traits
> Sedimentary Aggregation trait available for lithoids
* Pops cant grow, colonization on non arcologies add extra lithoid deposits, each pop produces 0.1 assembly

Civics
> Master Crafters now indicates it works with Void Dwellers on habitats

Buildings
> Prepared several definitions and swap for alternative gestalt playstyles

Jobs
> Master Tinker and Master Sideralurgist Alloy production reduced to 3 (from 4) and mineral upkeep added (2)
*Note : This is for reducing the early power those jobs have, as they had no upkeep; still powerful on their own
> Manufacturer drones now benefit from maintenance protocols machine civic

Districts
> Habitat utility arcologies now reliabily provide jobs for gestalt empires
> Habitat industrial districts no longer benefits from extra building slots for master crafter non void-dweller empires
*Note: This effect is still applied for empires with the Hyper-Efficient Infrastructure Artifice tradition unlocked
> Habitat research district passive production reduced to 4-6-8 (from 6-8-12)
> Protoworld districts construction time doubled; passive production halved and now provides a job
*Design note: Protoworlds are in a too good state for some players; reducing the effectivity a little to balance things
> Protoworld districts now reliabily benefit from production buildings and techs

Traditions
> Halved the unity penalty per tradition group adoption ; this is for mitigating the impact of multiple traditions
* Note: Any mod changing this setting will alter this change

POSTPONED CHANGES
> REVERTED - planet_view.gui will receive a scroll bar for districts/buildings
* Note - Didn't work as intended, changes will be on hold
> REVERTED - topbar_traditions_view.gui has been readapted to be more friendly with vanilla-like traditions
* Note - I was not satisfied with the result so will give it a tweak
