Hello! I was recently gripped by a bout of nostalgia for the Leviathan book trilogy, which I read first as a kid and adored. In the midst of this nostalgia I had the thought that a mod based on the series for Victoria 3 could be interesting, and while poking that thought I rather stumbled into this mod. Fascinating to see someone else had the idea, seeing as the announcement of the anime was pretty much the first indication I had that anyone but me still remembered the series. I hope you and the mod are doing well, and I look forward to seeing the eventual 1.10 update - for the moment my main focus in this game is working out how to do Austria in the base game.

Also the Discord link's dead again. I understand not paying for the boost, but without that a timer to refresh it or something is probably needed.

and thanks for the answer!

Oh, I didnt even know it had to be boosted

@Mig Its great to hear people discovering Leviathan! I got that obsessed feeling from the books.

While i'd like to make a permanent discord link, that requires a boosted server. I've updated the link with another temp. link

No, I do not plan to make a ww1 map for this. However, if a seperate ww1 mod comes out, it would make sense for me to make a compatibiltiy patch, or maybe even piggy back off that mod's work to make a scenario closer to the world of Leviathan.

Last thing, do you plan to make a ww1 map of this?

Also, your Discord invite has expired. Make a permanent one.

Omg, ive just watched the anime and now im obssesed. Do you know that feeling? Anyhow, ill try out the mod ASAP!

@dedjustded Mechs are now just reskinned cars/tanks

hey so, after playing the game a little and then looking through the game files, i can't help but notice that there doesn't seem to be any tech or way to produce mechs, is this by design or did my game files not download fully?

Huzzah!

@fanatikgobos Should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out!

@magpie you're welcome, and thanks for the support!

@MrBlazzar™ You're welcome! Yeah, my line of thinking with the mechs was that mechs are practically just replacement for automobiles, so I simply did the same in Vic 3 (via reskin).

mounted fabrications are bugged : it seems they can't recruit and stay at 0 employment forever

thank you so much for updating and maintaining this mod!

The removal of mechs as a good is unfortunate but understandable though.

Hell ya man thanks for the update.

@DagothurDank well, your suggestion came to life. In the 1.9 update there is the option to enhance crops/livestock with lifethreading. There is event an event that comes about as a result of that, though!

@Aceitunillas @MrBlazzar™ @kebabblaster9000 @magpie YOUR DREAMS HAVE COME TRUUUUUUUUE

I just saw the anime, and I want an update

Hoping for a update.

update?

Are there plans for updating the mod for 1.8?

The fabricated beasts input for military unit types is missing localization.

@emarcus156 It works thanks

@Tiregas @SWGH50 Should be working now, update it

The mod looks really cool good job!

Mech industries don't product any mechs

I can't produce fabricated beasts with darwinist labs

@Tiregas should be fixed now. Download the new prerequisite mod

@Tiregas I found out what youre talking about. Yeah that is very strange. The buildings tab also doesnt display pms, even though you can see it if you view a building within a states. I will have to work on a bugfix for that

I tried with a new save and I don't know why, I can't build anything, it's paused the government construction and the button doesn't appear

@Tiregas If I had to guess, no, its not compatible with save games

is it compatible with a save game? I can't build with this mod

@GeloDGreat UPDATED!!!!

@GeloDGreat No, working on the update rn

Is this still compatible with 1.7?

Hm, the things that I can think of that would fit that criteria, is perhaps
Genetically modified plants could also work with said threading, being able to grow more, or grow plants on areas you wouldnt be able to normally.
Using said created beasts to grow oil like the whaling stations.
Little things like that.

@Voryn Dagoth Ur While I am open to changes/suggestions, there are no plans for expanding the variety of buildings and industries. While I appreciate your suggestions, in my opinion they are too "modern/future" sci-fi inspired and not "alt history" sci-fi inspired. If you/anyone else have suggestions that fall along these lines, please comment!

Is there plans for more buildings/industries and so on? Offshore mining, Cloning vats for people or something? so on and so on?

Alrighty

@Empereur Raf no, i wanted the implementation of these new things to feel vanilla, so the vanilla-like events encouraging their creation here are as far as it goes. There will be no unique country-specific stuff

People are always welcome to make submods, though!

Hello, am wondering about the futur plan for the mod, is there gonna be even unique decision and even for the different country of the world ?

@MrBlazzar™ works fine

Does this need updating for 1.6 or does it still work fine?

i just wanna say thank you for reminding me of the book series, as i just bought it and am going to reread it, its been like 6 years since ive read it, youre the best!

@Purves thank you, discord link has been renewed. If i make an update with that suggestion, ill credit you

Seems like the discord link has expired or something but I just wanted to say that if you're still in the process of doing an update, in the levith_bio_buildings you might want to add a check for the total ban to prevent the AI from spamming the darwinist labs when auto invest is on.

For myself I just added the following under the existing check so that it doesn't need the industry ban too:

error_check = {
severity = fail
this = {
owner = {
NOT = { has_law = law_type:law_total_beast_restrictions }
}
}
}

On the flip side maybe there's an argument to be made for making a similar law for mechs and adding the same to the mech buildings files.

All the best, great mod! Having a lot of fun bashing beasts with big clunky boys
