just curious will you ever do anything with this mod and the mecha apex draconius?

That is okay Ever uni, I was just curious, I look forward to future updates.

@Kair'ah; I'll look into it for a future minor update. Couldn't do it right now...

Updated the mod. Crashes should no longer occur.

Please have patience. It's been less than a day since the update came out. I'll fix it soon.

Please Update!!! ive tested it within my mod list after the Update aand its only this one. We love this mod!!!

Is it possible to add compatibility with Etiluos's Animated Dragon Species?

Well, lore wise, Dragon Culture civilizations are industrialized and use space travel technology just like any other empire. Dragons can't actually survive in space, the vacuum will kill them, they're not Space Dragons - that would be the Ether Drake and the other leviathans. They need pressurized environments with breathable air.

Yeah, I would love it if instead of ships, our dragons literally just fly through space. Variations of the Ether Drake to represent us. If one of the portrait packs you mention would fit the look of an ether drake, that would be ideal. Space Dragons mod I guess.

No, it doesn't. Unfortunately, gfx is where my modding knowledge ends, I can't make shipsets, though I'd definitely want to add suchba feature to this mod.

Does this come with a ship-set? Because I don't see any mention or pictures of such.

You can contribute in that way, yes, however all alternative versions must be submods to this one.

Hi, I just want to say I love this mod. Is there anyway I can contribute to it? or alternatively, can I fork it and made additions and changes?

oh wait figured it out had to pick dictator

I cant the dragon culture at start because I have to be a galactic soverign

it would be nice if adaptive evolution could select it

No. This mod currently only adds 1 Dragon trait.

Is there specific Draconic traits that can be obtained through the adaptive evolution situation?

I think i know what you mean. But with this requierement i cant create the species.

You don't need them. It's a trigger that I added to prevent the dragon civic being removed upon becoming emperor in case of ethic changes. If it's causing trouble, please let me know. Otherwise it's just gonna show on the tooltip and not disable it. I do have to figure out a way to hide it, though.

Hey, why do i need the Sovereign civics: Galactic Sovereign to create the new species with draconic_civic?

Raiding is disabled for the Dragon Culture civic.

Mod working fine for me, at first it didn't but that's because I hadn't subscribed to the 4.0 version of the portrait and was using the legacy version, once I subscribed to the new portrait all worked fine.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with BtD?

just did it and tried again. still crash

Please search the Internet for such things. Don't clutter this comments section needlessly. Verify your files. As I said, I tested this mod on my end multiple times and it didn't crash. Unless other people report this as well, it's not a mod issue.

Search it up for your platform.

how do i do that?

Verify your game files

just tried it alone with ADP still crashed after selecting done after making the empire.

I'm playing on the same version as you: 4.0.6. I actively use all the mods I upload.

what version? I am on the latest update

BtD does not affect any Origins, nor Civics. It only adds its custom ones: Dragon Culture and Pacified Dragon Culture. I have tested this mod on my end and my game didn't crash on startup nor galaxy loading.

all the origins, as in, in the origin selection menu it is not showing up, and juts having the mod on crashes it during the galaxy start up.

I was using the ADP portrait, and as stated the only two mods installed in that playset were it and BtD, but for whatever reason neither of the BtD civics, or the dragon trait, were showing up for me.

Please be more specific. What origin? BtD only works with civics and traits.

I am having a issue stemming from a origin problem. the mod's origin is not showing up, and when i enter game it crashes out.

You must use either the ADP portrait or Apex Drakonius to see the civics. Also, make sure you don't use mods that might overwrite stuff from this one, such as other Dragon mods or civic mods. I use BtC in my own playset and I see them just fine. I'll check the scripts later today...

Dragon traits and civics are not appearing for me as of 4.0, even with the only mods in the playset being this and your dragon portrait mod. Not sure why that would be. Maybe the dragons not being in any of the new species categories is causing issues?

Working just fine for me now, but I can attest that this and the animated portraits mod were causing crashes for me before too, and I didn’t have the other guy’s UUD mod.

It works just fine now though. So maybe it was a completely different mod for me causing the conflict? Dunno.

Either way, stoked that one of my favorite mods is working again so quickly!

That UUD mod is clearly the culprit then. Since you said NGS works fine by itself.

@Ever Universe that second hotfix for BtD Did it! Though it leaves a different mess for later possibly but thank you for the hotfix even between BTD, ADP and NGS as it now works together.

Test 1: Full mod list with UUD, with BTC (NGS Disabled)
Result: Success, no crash
Test 2: Full list with NGS and BTD
Result: Crashes.
Test 3: Just NGS, BTD and ADP
Result: Success
Test 4: UUD, NGS, NTD, ADP
Result: Crashes --
Test 5: UUD and NGS
Result: Crash


UUD and NGS incompatible. Assuming possibly due to "Dragon Civics" or some other stuff i'm unsure about but i'm sure one day i'll get better at modding to wonder on compatibilities.

Deployed a second hotfix for BtD. Please test it again to see if it works.

@Ever Universe I have done them with my mod and now without, having disabled everything except your 3 and they are still crashing me. I'm sorry for the hassle and hope the information helps!

Test 1: Disabled all including UUD excluding UIOD and Planetary Diversity
Result: Crashes on New Game creation

Test 2: Disabled everything except NGS, BTD and ADP
Result: Crashes

Test 3: Only running BTD and ADP
Result: Crashes

Test 4: Only running NGS
Result: Success. Does not crash.

Test 5: Running UUD, Extra Events, NGS (UIOD, PD Disabled)
Result: Crashes.
Test 6: Running Extra Events, NGS (UUD, UIOD, PD Disabled)
Result: Success, No crash. (Incompatibility with UUD?)
Test 7: Running EE, NGS, UIOD, PD (UUD Disabled)
Result: Success, No Crash.
Test 8: Enable ADP (Disabled BTC and UUD still)
Result: Failed, Crashes.

Sorry if a bit scattered notes, there's mixed compatibilities it seems.

Have you done these tests with just the mods in question and nothing else alongside them?

I've done a few tests, unfortunately I don't think its UIOD or why it's giving issues either.

Test 1:
UI Overhaul disabled -- Just BTC and Animated Portraits Enabled
Result: Failed. Attempt with PD Disable?
Test 2: UI and Planteary Disabled - Just BTC and Animated Portraits Enabled
Result: Failed - Hard Crashes

Test 3: UI Overhaul Disabled -- Just New Galactic System
Result: Failed - Hard Crashes
Test 4: Disable Plaentary also, just NGS
Result: Failed

Interestingly enough I can run 4.0 Animated Portraits with my Mod List including UUD as standalone, it won't crash. But BTC and NGS do.

After some investigation, UIOD may be the culprit in these errors. Please try to run my mods without UIOD and see if they work then.

@Ever Universe I will try now to run it alongside in my load order after UUD and see if it crashes.

As of current, BtC (plus with the required Dragon Animated Portrait) AND NGS (Ran separate) all hard crash me upon new game creation.

Mod Load Order is along this:
#5 - UUD
#7 - 12 -- UI Overhaul Dynamic
#13 - 18 -- Planetary Diversity
#19 - New Galactic System (NGS) ((Disabled due to hard crashing)
#20 - Become the Dragon (Disabled due to crash)
#21 - 4.0 Animated Dragon Portrait (Disabled)

I have been slowly trying to source why but the error logs don't seem to help me at least it just won't get past the "Graphic load" part of the New Game creation.

Deployed a hotfix. Please let me know if you still encounter crashing with this mod.

I will take a closer look at it later today. Unfortunately my game is too dependent on my modlist, which doesn't give me the freedom to turn off my modlist. So I have to wait until that modlist is functional in order to start the game and test my mods. Right now, the best I can do is to rely on player feedback and deploy fixes hoping they'll work.
