Vanilla perks reference guide
Any vanilla perks from the list below will be overridden (effectively merging effects) by my mod ONLY if there is an overlap between mods. This list is mostly for my own reference but I figured I could share it.

List of mods that change 00_ascension_perks file and NOT only individual perks:
  • ESAP
  • Plentiful Traditions 3.x - Extra Perks
  • Utopian Dream
  • Worthy Ascension Perks

Other notes that might be useful for future me:
  • Expanded pops tries to override Enigmatic Engineering to add "hostile_op_cat_subterfuge_difficulty_add" but that modifier has no effect as of 03/21/2024.
  • Test interactions with "has_origin = origin_pd_tree_of_life" and Expanded Pops. Specifically, when picking World Shaper AP, since Planetary Diversity blocks that origin when using detox, but Expanded Pops mod ("has_global_flag = expanded_pops_active") merges detox effect with World Shaper.
  • Forerunner mod has interesting effects for traditions.

Gatekeeper acknowledged that Planetary Diversity's overwrite of World Shaper was an oversight.
"I overwrite world shaper?
ahh, I remember, so hives could take it
but then I made it so the planets needed hive worlds to make the fun planets..."

I see. Thank you for your insight. If I notice any changes in PD or other mods, I will update this list.
