We need update

Needs update for 4.0

They stay, but add organic pop growth to simulate them turning into illithids

Do the mind thralls die over time and become illithids or do they stay?

It should work, doesn't change anything in the base game, only adds things :)

Does someoen know if it works please ? This mod looks amazing, someone update it pls <3

This still works in current-patch? Anyone knows?

ultrakill

Does anyone know how/if this mod works? I don't see the civic, traits, or new species.

Same can' play the species even if in my laucher the mod is correcly installed (using IronyModManager)

The Elder Brain armies currently do not have a description, only being along the lines of "Nice_Elder_Brain_1"

Civs dont pop up for me when creating a new species and no default species with the civs either

@Nicelander hello there. if you would like, i can translate mods content in rus. alredy made it for my friends, so now all it takes is to only send a localisation file

civics and traits don't appear for me at all

Machine pops infected with a Tadpole need to fix

makes me want to kidnap the galaxy

So I've given it a try so far and, yeah it's an unusual, but welcome cross between Necrophage and Progenitor Hive.

I do have one gripe personally: the repeatable Mind Thrall tech, which kinda makes the Mind Thrall output boost policy pointless. IMO I'd instead tie the Mind Thrall research output to the Elder brains, as I feel they need to do more than just provide a flat resource bonus, given their high costs and upkeep. (The non-repeatable techs are fine imo)

Oh and, you might want to make species with Tadpoles give like -100000 pop assembly speed as I'm pretty sure they are *not* meant to be assembled in this context lol.

@Paladin Dog
What was not working? I tried this with multiple origins. Prosperous unification, ocean paradise, dragons, life seeded, tree of life. All worked. Which origin did you try?

Fix - Only mind flayers should be able to use mind thrall citizenship type

Thanks @noctisfair1 for reporting

First time using this mod, I hoped to get the Zroni precursor for RP reasons... and I get the Vultaum.

I'm not mad. In fact, I am impressed. This is even more funnier.

You should lock the "Mind Thrall" citizenship type to the "Mind Flayer" civic. Most empires end up setting non-citizen pops to the mind thrall citizen type.

Only works on prosperous unification origin

Someone's been busy playing BG3 I see xd

Day one: fever and memory loss.
Day two: hallucinations and greying skin.
Day three: hair loss and blood leaking from all orifices.
Day four: excruciating pain as the skeleton and organs reform and reposition.
Day five: the host's personality has disappeared. Fingers, toes, and limbs elongate.
Day six: the flesh around the mouth splits to make way for tentacles.
Day seven: a mind flayer is born.

Is the AI capable of using this civic correctly?

It looks like it's a bug since 2021 so i don't think you can help me.

strange stuff, don't know if this mod is conflicting with something but at random intervals pop build slot gets taken by the Mind Thrall race, even though i locked it to illithid one. It doesn't happen when months change, when almost all triggers happen so i have no clue what exactly and why is going on.

Gonna test later today if fix worked

Bug fix update:
- Fixed an issue that Mind Thralls reverted to Full Citizenship rights after species modification

Thanks @vovarush for reporting it!

https://github.com/theNicelander/nicelander-stellaris-mind-flayer/pull/7

Whilst I appreciate this mod existing, it's also a sad reminder that we never get Spelljammer mods for space 4x games, well done XD

@Bocaan totaly agree with you, hope someone do it with baldurs gate hype :)

@vovarush
Thanks for reporting! That's not from the mod, but I have a fix in mind. I should be able to implement it in the next day (work busy 😔l

@mayo & @KIRINAS
Same answer, it's sort of Tree of Life + rogue servitor, but with slavery and tech focus? 🤔

@bocaan
Nautiliod ships would be awesome, hope someone will mod that in soon! I don't know how to do graphics, but love the coding side! 😁

Subbed because Illithids are cool! and so i wonder if someone would be crazy enough to create the mindflayer nautiliod ship or are there more illithid ships than just that one ship?

was waiting for it, thanks you ! lacks more than an illithid portrait mo now x)

there appears to be a flaw when genemodding mind thralls as they chaneged to full citisenship

so the World Tree origin or however you call it merged with the Necrophage civic?
i dig it

So it's dnd version of Rogue servitor?

Now all we need are Nautilus ships

Aye, thanks for the speedy response, look forward to trying this one out and any other future mods you make!

No spoilers, as I haven't played it myself yet. Read drizzt back in the day, and have been reading the general dnd wiki.

The stuff in the description is as far as it goes 🙂

Always felt Necrophage for hive minds was a little lacking... So I'm totally going to try this one out, always enjoy playing Hive Minds with a twist!

Question thou: I hadn't played BG3 yet and am looking to do so next month and I've been trying to keep myself in the dark about the plot. how spoilerish is this mod?

@BeCozBoB
No load order, anywhere you like

Did you select hive mind?

@renvira
Thanks! That means a lot! I spent a lot of time on it, and played it a few times myself before posting it!

Hope you enjoy it! :D

Honestly surprised that more people haven't gotten this mod, it's got a lot of thought put into it

That's pretty good!
