ABOUT:
This mod is based off of the lore from Bungie's Destiny. For anyone who doesn't know, The Traveler is a city-sized, mysterious sphere that travels the universe, terraforms planets, and uplifts civilizations. However the Traveler is also followed by a mysterious force known as The Darkness, which destroys civilizations. At the start of Destiny, human civilization has risen and fallen, and the Traveler now sits quietly above the Last City. This mod aims to introduce the Traveler into Stellaris, and focuses on the Traveler's ability to terraform planets and uplift civilizations.

Features:
The Traveler will spawn after some time and travel across the Galaxy. Whenever the Traveler arrives in a new system, it will do one of four things:
-If the system is the capital system of an Empire, the Traveler will orbit the star and grant the Empire a Golden Age.
-If the System has a Pre-FTL species living on its planets, the Traveler will orbit the star and uplift their civilization after a time.
-If the system is neither a capital system or is home to a pre-ftl civilization, but is inside an empire's borders, the Traveler will orbit a random uninhabitable planet and terraform it to the ideal planet class of that empire.
-If the system is outside any empires borders and is not home to a pre-ftl civilization, the Traveler will orbit a random planet and terraform it into a random habitable planet class, with a modifier to boost happiness and habitability.

If none of the above is possible, for instance if there is no uninhabitable planet, the Traveler will move onto the next system.
Only rocky uninhabitable non-moon planets will be terraformable by the Traveler for now.

RECOMMENDED MODS:
Destiny Species by Cyan

Compatibility Mods:
Planet Diversity Patch


COMPATABILITY:
-No files are overwritten by this mod, so it should be compatable with most other mods.
-Mods that add new planet classes or star types may cause some problems, such as disappearing stars. The Traveler will also not be able to change planets into any new planet classes. I may take requests to make a compatability mod for specific planet class mods.

NOTES:
-This mod is VERY incomplete and therefore probably prone to bugs. Please report any bugs you find.
-You can attack the Traveler, but I strongly advise against it as it will remain hostile to you and destroy your ships
-YOU MUST START A NEW GAME for the event that spawns the traveler to appear. If you are desperate to play on an in-progress save, click on any planet, and use the console command "event traveler.9999" this will spawn the traveler above that planet.

KNOW BUGS:
-Broken planets (like the ones that spawn around black holes) may be able to be terraformed, but will appear to remain broken.
-Occasionally stars can be converted into invisible, colonizable planets by the traveler, I am unsure what causes this so far but I suspect it isn't something I can fix
-stone age primitives may not be uplifted properly

If you find any bugs please report them.

IF YOU WISH TO CONTRIBUTE:
I am looking for anyone who can make 3D models to help out occasionally. I specifically need a traveler model, much smaller than the Infinity Machine's model.
I am also looking for a writer to help out with the event text. Knowing Destiny's lore will help, but it is not mandatory.
