DARKSPACE v2.74
Here comes the big GalacticPlague-origin / Xenomorphs rework!
Also, many other changes were made to the mod.

This is the last big update before the rework of the "Synthetic Gods" origin arrives, approximately with DS v2.8

Capitalsystem:
- Capital got a new visual design - "Biomechanical Hiveworld".
- Sets graphical culture now to Biological (DS shipset), if not already selected.

Espionage:
- Improved all tooltips/texts.
- Still uses missions to infect empires - but event feedback improved.
- Power/potency depends on selected virus abilities.
- Can now infect machine empires with a new virus strain.
- Other empires will now react different to your espionage attacks (example migration pacts can spread the infection further). More events will be added later after further testing.

Infection Counters:
- Changed its mechanic & it gets now added for every country that got once infected.

Virus Traits & Morphed Pops:
- Removed the edicts & removed depedency on traits - all existing traits are now available when selecting the origin (similar to the "Overtuned"-origin selection).
- Added a planetary decision with a custom interface window to change the virus strains.
- Hivemoons spawn now where the decision to create one is used (planet).
- Changed bonuses of all traits & the base trait has now a higher food upkeep.

Virus Modification:
- Can use different strains to attack an empire via espionage.
- Each strain/combination has its own results & chances to hit/infect.
- Can later use 5 strains (late game).
- Currently there are 15 strains you can pick from, a few more will be added later.

Galactic Community:
- If a Xenomorph/Galactic Plague empire exists, there will be a new resolution available to heal infected pops for all members of the Community!

Hivemoons:
- Spawn now with a new section layout - more ranged (swarm weapons).
- Spawn now at the planet where the new decision is used. Can be any owned colony.
- Added a smaller version called "Hive-Kraken" that costs only 25 Morphed pops (value might change).


- Improved the ingame tutorial how to attack with them.
- Do now only destroy hostile units/planets. To have ANY effect in the target system, war must be declared first.
- Rewrote the entire mechanic behind them.
- All empires in the galaxy will now receive a notification that you finished the weapon (useful for multiplayer).
- Can not be placed into a pulsar system to avoid being in the same spot of a Quantum Catapult.


- Origin bonus grants now -1 influence income.
- Changed how pop growth scales.
=> its not (monthly growth)/(100) anymore, its now (monthly growth)/(population scale).
=> This means the higher your population, the longer it takes to grow Manpower pops & the more important techs, traditions etc become.
- Diplomats start now with extra Manpower, because they have (at gamestart) less base income than Savages (Stellaris-country mechanics).
- Fixed a wrong tech requirement for the 3rd Colony-Module in the Nomad-Administration.
- Fixed a resource income for the Savages setup at gamestart.
- Fixed some code of the Nomad menu, it should now never again not be able again if another event closes the window without the players approval.


- Origin Phoenix Empire - Starts now with less pops & decreased homeworld size.
Also reduced the cost of blockers that reduce the amount of normal worker jobs for a smoother early game.
- Origin Halo - Reduced the homeworld size & removed the Halo-Fabricator deposit.
- Origin Arcane - Reduced the the default planet size of Arcane ringworlds, removed the energy deposit.
- Origin Utopia - Reduced the the default planet size & adjusted planet modifiers.
- Origin Ark of Constructors - Added the "Malfunctioning Replicator Bay" deposit & improved some localisation texts about the new district after reaching planet size 40.
- Origin Gray Tempest - Species trait has now higher pop upkeep. Removed the ability to use "Onyx-Programming" at gamestart.
- Origin Hyperflora - Planetary decision to gain more alloy & tech jobs has now a small tech requirement.
("Xenobiology", tier2, society research)
- Civic Vero - Reduced leader span from 100 to 50 due vast leader changes in Stellaris 3.8.

- Added country_flag "ds_anti_healthcare" + ds_pro_healthcare to the resolution "Universal Healthcare".
=> AI weight if a country like this resolution or not - to heal pops infected by the GalacticPlague origin, for all GalCom members! (so DS+other mods can check for it)
- Xeelee Brain megastructure - Produces now more tech if Gigastructures is installed. Its only this megastructure for now to see how well it works for mixed games.
- Fixed DS settings at gamestart - Megastructure perks are now for players not disabled anymore if the setting "Disable content for AI" is active.

IMPORTANT!
- Disabled the "Intergalactic Isolationists" origin (1+2), because I would like to do some few mechanical changes so it can be used multiple times in MP without needing it 2x in the empire creation.
- Disabled the "Synthetic Gods" origin until its rework arrives. It is the mod's oldest origin and pretty outdated.


- Added ds.25.name + ds.25.desc
- Added missing councilor_ds_hoi_desc
- Added dmr_5 + dmr_5_DESC
- Added ds_halo_5 + ds_halo_5_DESC

- Changed decision_constructor_ark + origin_tooltip_constructor_ark_effects
- Changed trait_ds_nanite_effects
- Changed ds_nomad_menu_mp_growth_status (Nomads loc)
- Removed ap_galactic_plague + ap_galactic_plague_desc
- Removed tech_galactic_plague + tech_galactic_plague_desc
- Removed localisation of the following edicts - edict_galactic_plague, edict_galactic_plague_melt, edict_galactic_plague_hivemoon.


Synthetic Gods (Origin)
I removed it from the empire creation, but it still works in savegames. The rework will take a while, because I will overhaul all related mechanics, events, ships, texts & more. With the rework the "Spectrals" civic will also receive its unique power that I always wanted it to have.

Spectrals Crisis (AI)
After the rework I will continue with the development of an entirely new kind of endgame crisis. My first (private) tests seemed promising. It will include the entire story of DarkSpace, several events, different endings, mechanics & more.

My aim is to make them truly terrifying - by their power & how they attack the entire galaxy with their tactics. This will be a ton of work, so do not expect it that soon :)

DARKSPACE v2.73

Just a hotifx after a user reported a problem with diplomatic actions.
Reason: A small amount of code for Nomads was outdated, causing "Improve Relations" not appearing correctly for primitives/certain empires.

DARKSPACE: v2.6
This version adds MANY balance changes, fixes and a new origin - the Zroni!

- Inspired from the ancient precursor race Zroni of Stellaris.
- Starts on a "Shrouded Relic World" world (thus can not become an Ecu).
- Has 8 fewer Pops at gamestart.
- Has special blockers & deposits (some also for Pops - "Ancient Cryo Chambers").
- Has old systems around the homesystem, has only one garanteed habitable planet (Shrouded Relic World).
- Starts with a small story event chain at gamestart to unlock abilities.
- The story events will sometimes show dangerous situations in your population, thus making the early to midgame not that easy but the mid to endgame even more rewarding.
- Can use the "Psionic Corruption" system. - Using different Zroni abilities increases this value. Do NOT abuse the power of the Shroud too much, or your empire will regret it.

This origin is in some parts still WORK IN PROGRESS. I want to add more abilities for this unqiue empire with the arrival of Stellaris 3.8. Please send me mechanic/balance feedback until then.

DARKSPACE: v2.51

- Hotfix for Nomad ships.

DARKSPACE: v2.5 - The Nomads Rework

MOST OF THE NEW FEATURES WORK BETTER IN NEW GAMES!

This update adds an entire overhaul for my Nomads origin. They should play much different now and have now more options for different playstyles. I also tried to improve the balance a lot & give their society and economy more flavor with adding new mechanics, techs, upgrade-chances etc.

Opening the menu with the edict still works, but its kind annoying.
I added a button into the normal Stellaris interface (blue icon), aside of the Federation/Galatic Community button).

WARNING: This button has been added into the Vanilla interface. Any UI mod like "UI Overhaul Dynamic" could block/hide this button. Put DarkSpace ABOVE such mods in the Launcher-Playset / Mod-Load-Order.


- Recoded the entire Nomad-Administration interface (UI), added a lot of new features.
- Added tutorial/tooltip buttons into the interface that explain basic Nomad-mechanics & stats.
- You can now allocate Manpower to more fleet capacity (removed a lot from the origin bonus!)
- You can now produce rare resources, if you have the tech requirements.
- Added "Research Slots", costs minerals (like districts/buildings) to unlock research.
- Added "Nomad Housing", costs minerals (like districts/buildings) to unlock space for your Manpower.
- Added "Nomad Perks", cost alloys & unity to increase Manpower-Growth.
- Some Vanilla technologies now increase Nomad-Housing & Manpower-Growth!
- Your government authority now decided which upkeep your Manpower has (monthly).


- Is now monthly like a planet, growth can be increased with techs, traditions, perks, "Nomad-Perks" in the Nomad-Administration (economy UI).
- Growth is now shown in the Nomad-UI.
- Growth debuff when being at war, or 2 years after losing a war (because your population lives on them).
- Growth stopped if the new Nomad-Housing is lower than 1.
- Manpower has now upkeep, dependent on your government authority.
= Machine = energy (high rate)
= Hivemind = food+energy (lower rate)
= Normal = food + consumer goods (lower rate)


- Fixed broken texture background (appeared after 3.7).
- Added 2 new traditions, reworked the 2 existing ones (now 4 in total).

= "Starseekers" - economy focus, replacement for Vanillas "Prosperity"
= "Cosmic Voyagers" - starbase focus
= "Cosmic Reavers" - similar to Vanillas "Supremecy", but better for Nomads
= "Voidborn" - mid to endgame tradition after unlock all Nomad-Perks

"Voidborn" has certain requirements to be unlocked. Unlocks also a mobile megastructure - the DysonSwarm. So your empire can stay mobile even when finishing large projects!


- Changed the entire localisation of the Nomad origin, events, UI, perks and everything else connected with Nomads.
- Adjusted bonuses of Nomad-policies.
- Adjusted origin-bonuses, ships, technologies and more.
- Adjusted the starting-components & costs of the Alarai at gamestart.
- Fixed missing starting resources for the "Savages"-playstyle.
- Fixed a bug where the Alarai couldn't be upgraded at gamestart (rare resources).
- Fixed wrong modifier stats, example for upkeep or deficits.
- Arks have now an empire limit of 5, Alarai still 1.
- Increased the cost of "Recruitment" decision to abduct pops from planets (for 1x and 15x).
- Removed the now redundant shipclass "Fabricator".
- Added new designs for the Alarai & Ark for other shipsets (Lithoid, Organic..)
- Added an internal event system to prevent building many more Arks/Alarais when another mod overwrites the country_limits for ships.
- Added a new deficit modifier for Nomads when being in a negative resource - CHECKS MONTHLY!


- Origin "Utopia" & "Arcane" - previous nerfs adjusted.
- Civic "Neutronpower" - not available (origin was already disabled in v2.4).
- Civic "HeartsOfIron" & "Warlord" - can now be changed/added after the game started - constructing the ships still requires either civic & battleship technology
- Civic "QuantumNavigation" - now only available/visible when OverlordDLC is installed (or host)
- Changed cost and upkeep of Genetic Assimilation (Ascension Perk building).
- Added a ship limit to certain components.
- Overwrites now alliance_button_window (Nomad economy button in the Vanilla UI!).


- ENTIRE! localisation of Nomads (localisation/Nomads/ds_nomads_l_*)
- ap_halo_desc + ap_halo_tooltip
- ap_halo_crisis + ap_halo_crisis_tooltip
- ap_gray_salvation_desc + ap_gray_salvation_effects
- ap_arcane_ascension_desc + ap_arcane_ascension_tooltip
- dsS.1.desc = version number from §H14.03.23§! §L(v2.4) to §H02.04.23§! §L(v2.5)
Thanks for translating DarkSpace!


Thanks for playing DarkSpace - balance/bug reports please here on Steam or Discord.

DARKSPACE: v2.4

I realized that some contents of the mod are "beyond repair"/too bland, so I began to recycle those parts.
Some content needs to be polished, and other things should appear in a different version in the game for more freedom to pick them.

Thats why I decided to remove certain old origins, civics and other things from the empire creation to enable them later again once their rework is done.
DS is now over a year old and hits soon 20k subs, thanks for that! Stay tuned for important changes and new detailed & complex additions to existing content, and new stuff.

- Certast Cluster - to "unlock" the galaxy the portal now must be repaired, adjusted starting deposits on all nearby worlds
- Gray Tempest - changed starting planets, adjusted some values of the trait & jobs, increased nanite upkeep, has now a specific deficit modifier when having not enough nanites!, starting event informs the player about nanite factory
- Utopia - changed solar system layout
- Arcane - removed the starting mineral deposit, adjusted district stats & jobs
- Borg & Allmacht REMOVED - both will appear again as ascension perk in DarkSpace2.5 or 2.6

- Hyperflora
--- changed pop growth tech
--- nerfed decision modifiers
--- removed starting lab, because modifiers already provide jobs (use max 2 at start)
--- all modifiers now start with variable 1 (origin event)
--- starts now with 28 pops


- Hearts of Iron - supercarrier stats adjusted, changed sections & upkeep
- Warlord - Shepard stats adjusted, changed sections & upkeep
- Certus + Certast - changed civic descriptions


- "Elutia Archive" (digsite) - now located in the Kompass station in the galactic core - explore more details about the story of DarkSpace

- Megastructure "Space Casino" - for perk "Age of Empires"
--- not for Gestalts, increases a bit amenities and produces credits + some society research
