as for the image, steam is unfortunately being buggy about it for some reason and I can't even upload a fix. will see if it gets better in a couple of hours -- something like this has happened before.

@ShinUon, adc is a set for automated dreadnought computers, which for lore reasons, includes only cruiser and above ship sizes. nanite computers exist for all sizes.

@你猜猜我叫啥, if you have access only to basic versions of the weapons (you haven't completed relevant ascension), the repeating techs are limited to 5, otherwise you have much higher limit.

Clever and handsome author, this is a fun mod, thank you very much for sharing, but there are a few questions confuse me: 1. Nano (psionic) weapons do not benefit from the original game's tech,including torpedoes and SMLX slot weapons.Only the mod's tech buff differ , but these tech can only complete five times. Is this a design or a bug?
2. What is the tech path for nano weapons' X-slot weapons? The fourth tech diagram on the homepage is missing and cannot be opened. Is this the related tech path explanation?

@NHunter
Thanks, think I got it working. Does adding a ship size to the adc computer section give it everything as well (not just automated dreadnought computer)?

I noticed it gave the nanite thought matrix as well and didn't see a difference when I added a ship class to both the adc and non-adc computer sections.

@ShinUon , look into

common\scripted_triggers\esc_ship_size_triggers.txt

In the current version of this mod, how do we add computers to custom ship classes/sizes?

In the old v3.12 version of the mod, this was done by patching \common\component_templates\esc_components_computers.txt.txt and adding the custom ship class variable to the "size_restriction" list.

However, in v4 of this mod, the structure of this file changed completely and I don't see ship classes in this file anymore.

is there a patch somewhere for Compact Armadas? ESC N is my favorite mod set but compact armadas allows me to play on 1000 world galaxies where i can only play 600 with just ESC N. Id love to be able to pair the 2 mods together but there is a severe stat imbalance between them.

Oh, that's a requirement? I didn't know that, thanks.

@OMNISCRONCHULON, including reaching endgame start / year +250?

how well does this scale wtih acot and its respective sub mods? of course Omega Tech it doesn't scale with but thats because its literal god tech. but what about the other techs?

It seems I can't roll Space-Time Continuum Manipulation. I am knee deep in repeatables and I think I have all the requirements.

thiis is not compatible with ACOT ?

@天仓颉, crystalline weapons require one of the following to be researchable:

- you've encountered crystalline space fauna and completed "first contact" with them.
- you're are lithoid empire
- you've access to the tier 2 crystal plants

Is any of those true for you?

I think the gigapredator instinct computer is glitched with space fauna and isn't available as a mutation.

Crystalline weapons allowed in sitting

Crystalline weapons can not research

@Craghorn,

it will require at least two separate mods (which I don't really want to support in addition to the main set -- as the situation with psionic weapons just below demonstrates, I can't quite do it already at this point)

I do have a variables file for component costs (and use inline scripts to generate costs based on component type and tier), which you can reasonably easy to overwrite. Then you need to overwrite weapon's damage output. I think the fastest way to do it would probably be to write a small app that would just go through all files and multiply the damage values.

Alternatively, have you thought about applying a multiplier over vanilla settings instead of straight-up overwriting them? That would've been a more scalable (in terms of mod compatibility) solution, though I'm not quite sure how well that would last into endgame where you can get huge multipliers from technologies.

MOD UPDATE:

- Try-fix advanced psionic weapons research-permission trigger.


Yeah, it seems that the update to psionics has indeed messed up with the trigger for advanced psionic research. This should fix it.

Can you make a patch for Compact Armada?)
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3576670054 =^^=

note that right now you can by pass the problem using the "effect set_country_flag = ESC_COUNTRY_FLAG_mod_allow_advanced_psionic_weapons"

yeah it seems that the scripted trigger for ESC_TRIGGER_may_research_psionic_weapons_advanced is outdated

I think the new Update may have broken the advanced shroud techs in this mod, haven't recieved any of them as research options in my most recent playthroughs

You should make nanite weapons only available to nanotech ascended empires

Here's a working link for the 4th image obtained from dev console on browser: https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/10231626098734340211/973BE348F65FE6C6E77F2B748000FE84F5CDCEA4/

hey, the link to the 4th image return me with a 404 error :D

this ..shouldnt mess with Gigastructures at all, far s i know.

Does this work with gigastructures?

MOD UPDATE:

- Update for the new version of Stellaris.
- Update building icons.

honestly this is WAY better than gigastructures

Sometime I wonder why no one in 4.0 do the stack x5 repeatable tech to any mod like this??

MOD UPDATE:

- Fix for Korean localisation

MOD UPDATE:

- Try-fix bioship AI budgeting issues.


Thanks to @LikeNoOthers and @Rage000 for their help in hunting the cause of the problem down.

i have run multiple test and it appears that this solves the issue for the AI. Bio empires are creating fleets again.

Yes. That will allow bio ship empires to build the combat ships again. Verified with no other mods than this, at 1-2 years in the empire expanded their fleet. Any food expenditure logic in the original files, might exclude the ai from building any ships using food components from your mod if the empire is not using living ships, if i read it correctly. But this is definitely still the better alternative for now.

So that fixes the issue?

Deleting the ai_budget folder will make them create combat ships.

Can you go to mod folder

<steam dir>\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\2648658105

and remove the ai_budget folder with all of its contents in the /common? based on my limited understanding of AI budgeting Stellaris uses, this is the most likely cause for the AI not working properly with bioships

@NHunter I do not mind helping. Any testing today would have to be done later in the day.

Also did some testing to figure out why the Bio ship empires never build combat ships, running only this mod, will stop ai empires from building any combat ships

@Rage000, may I use you for experimenting on ai budgeting?

Hm... that's interesting.

I'll take a look at the economic stuff on weekend then

I think that ESC Next might be causing Bio empires to not build a fleet. I have tested with and without the ESC Next mods. I observed a game out to 20 years each time.

I have been testing the following ESC mods the last couple of days (No other mods involved)
ESC Next
ESC NEXT: Overwrites: Component Progression
ESC NEXT: Overwrites: Global Ship Designs
ESC NEXT: Overwrites: Special Weapon Types Patch

I have tested using ESC Next with each overwrite mod on and then turning off the overwrites mods one at a time.

I also turned off all three overwrites mods and only used ESC Next.

Then switched off all 4 mods.

When I switch off all 4 mods the BIO empires are building ships as expected.

MOD UPDATE:

- Cosmogenesis battlecruiser nanite thought matrix fix.
- Add Korean localisation by @The Engineer Pop

Got it, thank you.

Please see if Pull Request is done successfully.

MOD UPDATE:

- Update cruiser/battleship/titan reactors to allow different output depending on presence of active NSC3 mod.
- Retire dedicated NSC3 cruiser/battleship/titan reactors (legacy support).
- Allow more freedom with M-slot bioship swarmer missiles.
- Fix a bug with a few thruster costs being missing.
- Fix certain bug with FE-specific starbase combat computers and adjust their modifiers.

Unfortunately, I'm still unable to figure out what's going on with platform reactors, so the upgrade link remains broken.

---------

@The Engineer Pop, would it be too much to ask you to do a merge request on git? The repository link should be up there in the description

Shall I know your E-mail address or something?
I just translated this mod to Korean now.

@NHunter sorry my mistake, i looked into it and it turns out ACOT changes the Harbinger to have M-slots instead of G-slots

@harvin_s_dhillon, Harbingers do not have M slots in vanilla. only H, G and P. They can equip swarmer missile and energy launcher weapons in G slot.

@The Engineer Pop, it's a bug but I don't currently know what is causing it.
