Dust of Endless

This mod adds some ascension perks themed based on the Dust from Endless Space to the game that can be considered the fourth ascension path. Don't worry, you can still have one of the vanilla ascension pathes just if you had enough ascension perk slots for them.

You will need to know that my perks are really, really powerful, but also costly and extremely late game, because they require many top tire vanilla techs to be researched first, and take 6-8 ascension perk slots to be fully unlocked.

1. Nanobot Mastery
   
   • Requires 2 ascension perks to be picked first and 6 rare technologies to be researched first.
     
   • Buildings, Districts, Armies and Ships cost & build speed: -10%, +10%

   • Requires Nanobot Mastery to be picked first.
     
   • Requires two of the following ascension perks to be picked first: Beyond the Timespace, Endless Powering, Endless Gearing and Endless Enforcing.

None of the vanilla files were overwritten.

• Already includes:
  
  • English
    
  • Simplified Chinese

The Dust Enchanted trait has no effect in Arena Combat, Psionic Battles and Thesis Defense. I'm not interested enough on Federations to fix this.
