Just a heads up. Apparently it goes live next week. A lot of modders are holding back so well done with the onslaught of updates.

It is not updated for the beta.

Using the 4.0.22 Wilderness Beta version with just this mod.

The entertainers in the holo theatres have become duellists.

Does this mod at all effect the district names triggered by zones/techs, i.e. the yellow flavor name underneath the actual district name? Running this with Gigastructures, and its Electromagnetic Accelerators Traditions which gives a metallurgist alloy bonus for mining stations in the system caused every planet to have one of the Forge Zone Names

My modlist is running pretty stable with several of your mods featured, its a wild ride so far looking forward to see if it survives to mid to late game...

@Tovius sorry forgot to update, its a conflict with Stellar Manipulation Revival

It is working on my end, so it must be another mod or mod conflict

@LHZ I am getting a crash now on new starts, havent confirmed it with this mod but am testing now.

Anyone else playing well after the update?
My saved file crashed after this mod update
I'm posting a discussion about what other people think

It is now fixed.

I haven't touched Squire jobs, so I'm not sure why they're acting weirdly.

The latest updates broke the squires job (turns them into civilians) from Knights of the Toxic God origin. Yes, it was this mod because disabling it fixed the issue. It was working before the recent flurry of updates. Was only using it with your expanded diplomacy mod

Thanks for the quick fix working fine now.

It should be fixed in the latest update.

I have the same problem as PURUNGUI says: we have renounced claims on this empire.
Disabling this mod fixes it but thats obviously gona cause other problems

So I was playing just fine a playthrought now into middle game, while I do have unrestricted wars now I cant claim anyones system(It said i have renounced making claims) and this was the only mod I been using that updated, might have been some new bad interaction with other mod and yes I am cursing myself for not having made a irony mod manager copy of my current modlist

love this mod. makes starbases more meaningfull.
a feature I could possibly see be added, would be maybe adding extra slots to the defense platforms that scale with the starbase upgrade level.
I also seem to be having the bug where sometimes I also have unused slots on the starbase, but that hasn't happenned recently and it seems to be mostly in effect when I don't have X/T slots weapons unlocked.

I do not see that on my end. There is an issue with starbases not using extra large weapons, but that's not caused by this mod.

ah. yes you're right, I saw exp_tree_caretaker and assumed it was this mod when, in fact, it's a fuckin vanilla bug. sorry bout that

@Ministry of Justice It has the same requirements as vanilla, at least where robots are concerned. Are you sure this is not caused by another mod?

utopian abundance is banned from robots in organic empires even with full synths, makes it impossible for the universal prosperity mandate galcom resolution to work properly

This mod makes indentured servitude available only to authoritarian states. I don't understand why added this feature.

It has one when I try to download it, so I'm not sure what's happening on your end.

@Tovius I did. Still nothing

It might not have downloaded correctly. Try unsubscribbing and resubscribbing.

@Tovius when I subscribe to this mod it says there is no descriptor file

The only way to know for sure is to test with only this mod active.

This is the only mod I could see possibly messing with it on my modset. I only think it might be the case as you have an Expanded Megastructures mod right?

Here's the modset in question if you're interested in trying to help or are curious what I was using when I have this issue

This mod shouldn't effect megastructures. Are you sure it's not another mod causing the problem?

I have a strong feeling this mod is causing issues with my game. I keep getting games where the AI is building dyson spheres and ringworlds at like 2230. I check their empires and they don't have the required techs or APs to get galactic wonders but have the AP anyways. Can you look into this

Thanks :)

I was wondering if you ever play with Ethics & Civics and PD yourself?
I tried to 3-way merge some files from your mod and those for districts, but those have some hiccups, especially the generator districts. E&C only uses the inline script for farmers_add and not for technicians (don't remember the miner one).

This is an example of a 3 way merge attempt by me: https://pastebin.com/XGuVGcFx

My thought process as a none-modder was this: make sure I copied all different variable cost-code related blocks to the patch. Same with the triggered_planet_modifiers.

Turns out the solution is simple: PD just changed what some of their scripted triggers were called for some reason.

Sure, I can do that.

Could you readd can_change_category = no to pop_categories\02_other_categories.txt wilderness_heart_strata as it is in the vanilla file to allow you to see your biomass amount on the planet otherwise, unless I am completely blind, you can't see the population or biomass on the planet.

It is also kinda weird because it just removes the biomass stratum completely, as with this mod the pops get split into menial drone, complex drone, and no category atleast on the management screen. Without it they are all listed as biomass in that box.

Thank you, that is very helpful

Here is the pastebin for that file btw in case it helps. I don't know if it'll work on its own in expanded mods without PD

Ok so I fixed part of the problem yesterday between PD and this mod regarding no resource deposits on planets.

For me the problematic file was in
Common\scripted_effects - generate_start_deposits_and_blockers

It wasn't all that complex to make a compat patch in Irony Mod Manager, I barely remember what I did. I'm not a mod maker at all, just have some basic knowledge about code.

I had different issues though that made me remove all expanded based mods for now (not entirely sure they are the cause, though)

When building districts (farm, generator...) no actual jobs were added. But I'm still troubleshooting that one.

i know

he knows ^^

Issue with Planetary Diversity and this mod
For anyone else looking around, this mod is the reason why resource deposits wont spawn on planet types added by planetary diversity (and possibly other mods). Don't have the energy to figure out why or how to fix it though unfortunately.

Would be cool if u put information into the Changelog so people know when they can use the mod again^^

If someone can find what might be causing the issue, I can get to it faster, as I don't have time to look for myself until Expanded Pops is updated.

at least we know u working on it next so that will shut the most people up ^^

No worries Tovius. Thank you!

I am still knee deep in updating Expanded Pops, so I'm afraid fixing compatibility with Planetary Diversity will have to wait.

Same here, the update basicly did nothing to change that to my knowledge/testing

Yep, I've been running into the incompatibility with Planetary Diversity too since the most recent update.

Can confirm after thorough retesting, with just PD + Ascension, Gaia, Exotic, and Vanilla Submods (Ordered according to the PD FAQ, to be sure) and Expanded Mods Base (above/first or below/last) that I often get the bug mentioned below when creating a new game with a random country and otherwise default settings.

I can second I have noticed a similar issue with the latest PD patch where I often start a new game and the planet has no features besides default blockers. I didn't realize it was this base mod that is supposedly the cause.

Currently the only work around I know of is to use Real Space to designate the capital with a new planet subclass in order to reset the features, but this also inadvertedly butchers some origins and makes it so you have no generator/mining/farming districts at game start, and thus are still both lacking housing and at a resource deficit from the first month onwards.
