Patch 01-11-2022
Updated:

- Expanded the 'Scaling' game option. You can now chose to have planet modifiers scale based on: 'planet size', 'random', 'random+', or 'Off'. The random plus option increases the ceiling (maximum) bonuses that planet modifiers can give. This option is not balanced in anyway.
-Android Pleasure palace is a little more rare now
-Tweaked habitable world modifier generation calculations so they are better at randomly rolling the modifiers. With the goal of improving the randomness of modifiers seeded across the galaxy.
-Improved frozen and toxic terraforming candidate planet modifiers inter-compatibility with the mod
- Precursor modifiers will now only spawn on toxic worlds if you own the toxoid DLC. Toxic planets now require the detox AP to terraform.
- Ter clarification; I have to do this to maintain compatibility with the toxoids Detox AP/mechanic. Otherwise you kind of get something from the DLC for free sometimes which is not allowed!
-For both compatibility reasons and balance reasons the mod no longer overwrites precursor exploration events and thus no longer spawns additional precursor modifiers and terraforming candidates with each event. The homeworld found event as well as the homeworld spawning events are still modified.
- Fixed a bug where precursor digsites for the precursor energy grid modifier gave out rewards for precursor remnants modifiers. Oops!
-Improved the checks on minor relics for upgrading the mini "megastructure" buildings. It will now correctly allow you to upgrade it if you don’t own Ancient Relics DLC without needing minor relics.
- Added outliner icons for the mini megaststuctures
- Restored mini-megastructures will no longer show in the outliner
- Planets terraformed with the Life Seeder building will now properly get terraforming modifiers
- Archaeopolis Manufacturing districts will no longer produce Consumer Goods for hive minds.
- The Enigmatic Shield Relay aux component daily shield regen bonus reduced to 1% (from 5%)
- The Sol James Web Telescope object will no longer spawn if you start on earth with a non-human species.
- Added 7 extra options when discovering the android pleasure palace. One option for spiritualist, xenophiles, hiveminds, determined exterminators, assimilators and servitor empires. And one option if you have the pleasure seekers civic..
- Added an extra hot option to the Arachnophobia discovery event
- Improved performance on the AI spy policy checks
- Fixed bug where rubicator system planets modifiers didn't scale
- Added some additional planet modifier scaling checks on worlds that spawn later in the game such as planets in the precursor home systems.
- Fixed bug that allows you to queue up multiple arcane institute buildings. It should now be properly limited to 1 per planet.
- Added a new blocker: Sticky Webbing
- Added a new deposit: Empty Nest
- Added 4 new planet modifiers
- Added 14 new planetary decisions to interact with negative or bad planet modifiers

Fixed bug with precursor research center not being buildable on precursor worlds

Fixed army missing resource cost

- The Archo Shield Generator decision to add a planetary shield can now be used on the Archaeopolis world
- Fixed a bug where you could get a generic "GPM_MESSAGE_RELIC_STOLEN" message instead of a proper message when an AI empire steals another AI empire's relic.
- Updated missing economic_categorty data
- Fixed localisation but with NAME_Yuhtaan
- Improved mod compatibility with ringworld modifier/decisions
- Overhauled minor relic productions and upkeep. In order to balance minor artifacts and make it more clear to players without extensive ui mods I've readjusted minor artifacts to a gain/cost system. Monthly production has been made very static from sources and no longer is affected by pop % output bonuses, and all upkeep costs have been removed.
The precursor research center can now only be build on planets with a precursor modifier or your capital

- Added compatibility for 3.5
- Fixed some typos
- Fixes for the turret blocker
- Everything Minor Relics is now locked behind the Ancient Relics DLC.
Stuff that gives or costs minor relics is generally replaced with energy if you dont own the Ancient Relics DLC. The Archaeolopolis now requires the DLC to spawn. Precursor edicts now require the DLC. Will be added soon: outliner icons for the mini megastructures

Forgot to remove the temp files again. Filesize back to normal now

Patch 28-25-2022

.

Fixed script brackets mistake

Patch 22-05-2022
• Precursor Edicts now only have a minor artifact upkeep
• Archaeopolis Archaeology districts no longer cost minor artifacts to build
• Archaeopolis Archaeology districts produce fewer minor artifacts
• Archaeopolis Manufactory and Arc Reactor districts minor artifact cost doubled
• Increased the deep silo resource storage bonus
• AI wont steal relics if they have a non-aggression pact or a defensive pact with the target empire
• AI wont steal relics if they are actively improving relations with the target empire
• AI wont steal relics if the target empire is loyal to it
• Steal Relic espionage operations are automatically cancelled if either the initiator or the target empire becomes each other subject/overlord. 300 influence is refunded if that's the case. There's no message for this currently but will be added later.

• Significantly reduced the chance for precursor modifiers to appear on primitive worlds
• AI is less likely to immediately start a Gather Relic Intel operation on empires not bordering them
• AI should no longer be doing other spy operations (smear campaign, sabotage starbase, etc). They'll only do gather intel, gather relic intel, aquire assest, steal technology and steal relic (rarely and if you and them have bad relations).
• AI steal technology chance reduced further unless the AI doesn't like you
