Distant Stars Overhaul & Playable Nanite Machines

Adds a new Nanite Machine Origin and overhaul of the Distant Stars DLC with new nanite technology, archaeology, ships and more!

I've always felt the Distant Stars L-Gate DLC was lackluster… like it was missing some greater part of the story within Stellaris. I've spent 200+ hours coding huge amounts of content into overhauling what distant stars is about.

This was inspired by the Bio-Harvester Nanite Mod.

We have worked in collaboration with Twink315's Dessanu asset/texture pack.

The L-Drake scenario has been overhauled with new mysterious L-Gaia Worlds that contain a vibrant ecosystem of new species. There is now a variety of new L-Species that populate the L-Cluster, with tons of content to explore and stories to unfold. Discover the origin of the L-Species and maybe even interact with locals that may inhabit the L-Cluster. But be cautious, not everything is friendly within the Flourishing Ecosystem… especially if you provoke it. The mod introduces a mechanic to randomly assign systems and planets with events, so every game won't have the same location of events or types of event!

A new way to play, where this machine race can only colonize tomb worlds, machine worlds, etc. Though, Nanite Harvesters start on a Nanite Forgeworld as an advantage. Though instead of colonizing habitable worlds, Harvesters transform them into "harvest worlds" which yields resources at a decaying rate for a specific amount of years tied to its planet size/class. This yields an interesting way to play where early expansion is unneeded, but by the time these harvest worlds begin decaying, you will rapidly need to expand more and more to feed your hunger for resources later game. Encouraged to expand through purely economic needs rather than a will to consume biological life. Though, every world you harvest will cause all known empires to dislike you (since you're wiping out life).

• [District] Bio-Processing Foundry: Bio-Processor Drones convert Food into Energy
  
• [District] Alloy Foundry: Fabricator Drones convert Minerals into Alloys
  
• [Planetary Feature] Nanite Forgeworld: Produces an income of 1 Nanite resource per month.

This is a Tri-Ethic Empire (Spiritualist/Xenophile/Militarist) that worships a covenant made with the Gate Builders.
- Can unlock precursor relics & war machines of Dessanu origin
- NEW Story Event Chain: The Gateway Orthodox Schism

Opening the L-Gates only gives a single technology… it hardly feels like you're unleashing a deadly machine technology into the galaxy like it's lead to be. This mod adds dangerous new technology that utilizes nanites for new weapons, war machines, titan-ships, and world destroying (harvesting) weapons. Providing a whole new avenue of play mid-game.

After researching necessary components, you are able to build a titan-class Nanite Mothership that comes with the "Harvester Engine" which gives the ability to harvest habitable planets like nanite-machines can do. This ship has been balanced and is subject to change upon any balance change needed. This ship utilizes new nanite weapons provided by this mod, which also require a nanite resource upkeep.
