Basic Ordinary Origins

Basic Ordinary Origins adds in several new origins that are just that - basic and ordinary. They are simple origins meant to provide alternative "default" origins to Prosperous Unification, with starting bonuses that are similarly mundane and not drastic. They won’t change gameplay significantly, but will hopefully add flavor and variety to your games so not every nation starts with the “Prosperous Unification” origin. Though this isn’t meant to be perfectly balanced, keeping in line with the vanilla origins' lack of balance, none will ideally be overpowered.

This mod is compatible with virtually everything. It is ironman compatible, but NOT achievement compatible, as it changes your checksum.

• Updated to 4.1
  
• Silk Road home planet modifier now increases trader output instead of increasing merchant jobs
  
• One with Nature now gives Food Processing as a starting tech, rather than Biodiversity Studies, to be consistent with other resource-based origins
  
• Reduced number of Peacekeeper jobs per pops from War to End All Wars
  
• Reduced stability and happiness bonuses from Peacekeeper jobs from War to End All Wars
  
• Buffed Antediluvian Knowledge so it gives 100 Minor Artifacts at game start rather than 5
  
• Slow Evolution now gives Vitality Boosters Tech rather than the Gene Clinic tech
  
• Miscellaneous bugfixes

Cybrxkhan’s Assortment of Namelists for Stellaris: Thousands of new names for leaders, spaceships, stars, and more! Fantasy, real-world inspired, and many others.
More AI Personalities: A mod that introduces tons of new AI personalities, adding more variety to the game.
No Ethics Spawn Bias: With this mini-mod, ethics of randomly generated AI empires are more evenly weighted to appear, so there’s less of a chance you’ll be surrounded by hostile empires as in vanilla.
