Simple Slower Than Light 2.0 [Unsupported]

Update: I'm no longer going to be modding for Stellaris. If anyone wants to pick this up, please contact me first but I'll be more than happy to pass the torch on.

Simple Slower Than Light

What is "Slower Than Light?"
Slower Than Light is a mod that converts all interstellar travel into a subluminal version, hence the name. The original version of this mod was inspired by Pode's "Einstein was Right" mod.

How It Works
Simple Slower Than Light does only a few things:

• Slow Interstellar Speed
  
• Adds a monthly event that ensures ships don't get stuck in the galaxy map
  
• Overrides some of the localisation strings to remove FTL/Hyperspace references.
  
• Reduces some maintenance costs

SSTL doesn't remove wormholes, Gateways, or Jump Drives, although it does increase Jump Drive cooldown significantly. These FTL methods are novel and relatively rare, allowing some interesting gameplay.

To help with the super-slow speeds, a few things have been changed. Colony Ship maintenance is reduced to 1 energy/month, since you're more likely to have multiples floating through space for years on end. Science Ships and Construction Ship maintenance has been removed, as you're going to need hordes of both of them. And, finally, debris will stick around for 50 years, since vanilla hyperlane travel is moderately slow and this mod doesn't help that at all.

Mod Compatibility
Simple Slower Than Light doesn't directly change any files, and only overwrites lesser-used defines. This simple version of the mod is intended to be as compatible as possible. You can check out the Info Thread for more info on what has been changed.

Simple?
Yes, simple! This mod is designed to be flexible enough to work with most mods (Although there are bound to be some that don't like even simple changes). If you're looking for a more complex overhaul, take a look at Slower Than Light
