COMPATIBILITY
AlphaMod is primarily an expansion but also part overhaul, part total conversion. That means that it does change a few vanilla files and will therefore have compatibility issues with mods that also change those files. The files changed are:

• common/pop_faction_types/* (<- All of them)
  
• common/tile_blockers/00_tile_blockers.txt
  
• common/traits/01_species_traits_habitability.txt
  
• interface/species_mod_window.gui

The types of mods that will usually have compatibility issues are those that change or add planet classes and their habitabilities, or change vanilla factions in some way.

AlphaMod 2.0 has been built against v2.0 of the game. That means it is untested with any earlier version. There's a good chance something won't work properly if you use it with an earlier version.

Activating this mod and then expecting a current save-game to function correctly is just silly. Stop that. Start a new game.

RE: COMPATIBILITY
1 - I list vanilla files I over-ride. Other mods don't.
2 - Before asking about compatibility here, try asking about compatibility there first.
3 - I generally don't make compatibility patches for mods I don't use.

COMPATIBLE MODS

• Guilli's Planet Modifiers - No patch required.
  
• NSC2 - No patch required.
  
• Real Space 3.0 - No patch required.

INCOMPATIBLE MODS

• Cultural Overhaul
  - It's an overhaul. AlphaMod has content specifically for ethics. Did you honestly think these two would actually be compatible? They aren't. And I haven't even bothered to try it ever to confirm it, because I don't need to. They aren't compatible. Every bloody version of AlphaMod this one comes up. Ask the author of that mod. You're having a laugh thinking I'm going to worry about compatibility with that.
  
  
• Glavius's Ultimate AI Megamod
  No. Nope. Negatory. Negative. Neropey. Don't get me started.
  
  
• Planetary Diversity
  - Also over-rides common/traits/01_species_traits_habitability.txt.
  - Patch by Magus here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1330108559
  
  
• UI Overhaul 1080p Plus
  - Also over-rides interface/species_mod_window.gui
  - AlphaMod's file may well take priority anyway.

FAQ
Q - Is this compatible with Planetary Diversity?
A - No. Use this patch: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1330108559

Q - I'm not collecting the resources, water, biomass etc. and they have no number?
A - Just like Betharian and Alien Pets, they are local resources. You do not accumulate them like you do strategic resources. Just like Betharian and Alien Pets you build special 'sourcers' on them. Unlike those vanilla sourcers however, you can then benefit further with special buildings that can only be built on tiles adjacent to that sourcer.

Q - Some of my pops are 'exploited'.
A - Members of the Labour Union faction will be 'exploited' with the right combination of poilicies. This will boost their output, but in turn annoy them more.

Q - Does AlphaMod still support barren planet/ asteroid settlements?
A - Yes. However, you need the Refined Colonisation tech and then have to activate the empire edict that unlocks. This will result in randomly generated follow-up surveys your science ships must do to find potential habitables (an event will tell you when a candidate is found). The tech will make at least one barren instantly habitable in your home system.

Q - Any stuff to complement Synthetic Dawn?
A - The mod is compatible with the DLC, but there's no support of that DLC's features or content in this mod. If I do get around to something, it will be a separate supplement.

Q - Any stuff to complement Utopia?
A - The mod is compatible with the DLC, but there's no support of that DLC's features or content in this mod. There is a supplement though: The Utopian Dream.

Q - Any stuff to complement Apocalypse?
A - The mod is compatible with the DLC, but there's no support of that DLC's features or content in this mod. If I do get around to something, it will be a separate supplement.

NEW UPDATE POLICY
Other than critical bugfixing with hotfixes that should not break save-games, I will aim to make the bigger updates that may well break current save-games on a Friday. Not necessarily every Friday, but I tend to want to get new stuff in your hands pretty rapidly, so it'll be most Fridays.
