Printers are the bane of IT and the universe...This is funny as hell

update pls

update pls

Hi thanks for this :) I have been planning to get this back on my machine and updating it at some point in the near future. Will make sure to patch this in

I had some help in figuring out the problem, the definitions for the race is off

Go to <steam install location>\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\1593301672\common\species_archetypes and replace the contents of extsynths_archetypes.txt with

"
PRINTER = {
inherit_trait_points_from = MACHINE
inherit_traits_from = { MACHINE ROBOT }
robotic = yes
}"

This will allow your pops to assemble as they should.

Having an issue where - using the printer species as a machine - has no pop assembly growth at all.

@Blastinburn would this cause all planet names to be from the "generic" list ("printer_"), and none from the climate-specific name lists? Is fixing it as simple as changing that flag to "yes"?

Outstanding. One of the best mods ever. Currently locked in a war with this dang thing that is spreading like a plague. Love it!

Figured it out, bio-printers have use_climate_preference set to "no" so they don't get a habitability preference.

We're seeing an issue where bio printers have consistently spawned without a habitability preference, meaning every planet has 0% habitability.

This is occurring on 3.0, we have modded origins active (modjam2020 ones that have been updated) but this has occurred with both modded and vanilla origins.

unfortunally.. the HP Deskjets perished in the war between the khan and the katzenartig empire... i was searching for remains.. but only the overly long names of their systems remained, RIP

Is it updated?

@Kurdik Salim Thats awesome! I wondered what the sudden surge could be!! :D

dude your mod became top comment in r/stellaris https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/comments/mx29mk/space_is_terrifying/

WOW This really is a HP DeskJet 2630 Wireless All-in-One Printer moment

@Blanc I haven't played Stellaris in a while. Does it no longer work with the latest version? I would suggest trying it anyway even if it says it won't work

This mod is hilarious and I've been wanting to use it for a while, are you still updating it?

Why is this not an vanila? It really should be.

Why not as the FIRST PROTOTYPE 3D PRINTER?

What? No HP LaserJet 4? They're much more hardy.

oh my god thank you so much!

This is freaking hilarious.

@TurtleShroom I checked, the preset civilization does not use the Sol System, I think your issue might be with another mod installed :)

That explains so much, because I haven't seen human empires properly spawn in ages. The Printers have a guaranteed spawn. The pre-scripted species should not use the Solar System. That's a terrible idea because it overrides every other use of it. I haven't seen humans in many games because of this.

I suggest that you keep the Printers set to ALWAYS, but give them a random system.

Or, even better, MAKE YOUR OWN!

@TurtleShroom I believe the pre scripted species uses the Sol System (Unless I changed it?), You can edit this and turn it off :)

This is quite IMPRESSing.

This Mod is amazing. I've seen these printers purge between nearly one quarter and one fifth of a one thousand five hundred star galaxy, and I didn't let it happen or do anything to change it. The freaking printers got so big and greedy in its expansion that a conga line of Fallen Empires declared war and bashed it into the ground.

I've seen the Mod create a rare instance where two Printer nations showed up. One was the pre-scripted one I know and love and the other had no name. Also, do the Printers use a special star system? I'm curious because I've run into issues with the Solar System recently.

This little monster purged half the galaxy. I kinda let it tho.

NOTICE: Thanks famdog

NOTICE: This Mod works perfectly with V2.3 .

can we use this with iron man mode and does it make the cheack sum i would like to be able to use it on multiplayer

I will be adding an update soon, although im pretty confident the mod still works on the newest version as they didn't change the way species were implemented

This is perfect.

There needs to be a paperclip version of this

Best idea ever, I'm waiting for the update to play this mod in the newest version of Stellaris

but why XD

This is the ultimate mod for Stellaris! It´s a must have!

V

This is, of course, magnificent, but I feel we need more references to overpriced ink.

@TurtleShroom I like that suggestion :)

I would suggest that you add Apsec's video and the PC Gaming Magazine link to your Mod gallery and Mod description, respectively.

thank you ASpec <3 him going through the printer names was hilarious. I think the lack of it working is because of the other mods, hp deskjet 2630 are 100% reliable

Apsec, the premiere and only lay authority on "Stellaris", reviewed your Mod, OP!

Thank you for bringing the hatred I have all day as an IT tech home so I can share it with the galaxy!

yeS I NEEDED THIS

i knew the printer fandom would catch up with me

The Image of the printer is not right.
The printer shown is actually an "HP PageWide Pro 477dw Wireless Multifunction Colour Printer"

Thanks for the Mod!

Also try using the Bio_Printer instead and tell me if the same glitch happens

@Dr. Krieger check you have the synthetic dlc required to play as the custom race, other than that it might be one of the glitches with 2.2 they're yet to fix for custom machine races ;(

If its unable to be fixed all i can say is let the AI play as them, its a fun compromise running into a fanatic purifying printer race ;) think of it as a early game crisis!

A nice and funny mod, but when we play as printers in our multiplayer we have a hability of 0% on every planet :( Even on our homeoworld :(
is there any possible way to fix this ?
