Working on 3.7 with this update;

@Kingdark You probably have corruption in your local Stellaris Launcher database. Try this clearing it out. https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding#Purging_all_mods - the problem is with your local copy of the mod, not the mod itself.

Warning, these will reset all your playlists. Be sure to export them from the Launcher so you can reimport them later.

Nearly a year later since the last comment, but I figure I might as well post it. Your mod says that it's missing a descriptor file. Since it's been nearly five year since the last update, I'll unsubscribe to the mod but subscribe to the thread. Thanks in advance for (potentially) fixing the problem.

Wonderful work - I have included parts of your mod in mine but then got banned for not asking for permissions. Do you have any objections to your work being included in mine? I have already added you to the credits list.

Hmm... I think I spotted a few British Royal Family members...

how come the zeriphen portraits were removed? :(

I've updated the gameplay content from this mod (including all the special mechanics and traits) to work with Stellaris 3.0.* - you must still subscribe to this one for it to work.

@Nekolix

The Mod is long dead. Do as you wish.

working on a compilation species mod, you ind if i include your set in that pack? Credit included of course

How did you manage to set it so that Leaders only use ONE specific phenotype?

David Icke would like to know your location

can someone update this

Until this mod updates, I posted an unofficial fix for the bugs here (2.1.3): https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1521372516

And as addendum:
- Geneticist gives you Genome Mapping, Epigenetic Triggers and Vitality Boosters.
- The mod's mechanical parts seem to function without issue even in 2.1.2.
- I would recommend trying it out if you desire a fresh playstyle. And the minor graphical issue mentioned below is very easy to ignore.

For all those wondering whether this one still works... I have tested both the premade empire, modified versions with various ethics, and its civics (2.1.2) in a heavily modded (mostly Alphamod-based) game (with console commands to quickly check AI empires). Here are some of my findings:
- Xenophobe is not actually required for Parasitic Evolution.
- Parasitic Evolution requires the secondary pops to be fully enslaved to work properly, so you should put them into full slavery asap.
- This also means that you should pick at least Authoritarian. You can pick Parasitic Evolution without being Authoritarian or Xenophobe, but it will likely make the empire completely unviable.
- AI Empires lack rooms (but not the ruler and the city/planet background). Using mods like Diverse Basics doesn't seem to solve the issue.
- The mod works as advertised otherwise.

Silence will fall

You know, Snake people, or "sneeple" control our government at the highest level.

Life happened man

what happens to silfae?

This mod seems to remove the background of empires sometimes, but it's only this one.

Can anyone tell me what happened to the "Zeriphen" race? It was by far my favorite custom race and it's gone now... makes me sad :(

@Silfae Any chance you would be willing to add the logo in the custom room as a Flag Emblem?

Anyone can confirm that this mod work in 2.0.2 since it isn't updated ?

Basically I feel like you should also get maluses for not having enough secret lizards running the secret world order. Then you would have to balance it just correctly, too many and your population starts to become aware, too little and you are not able rule properly.

I really really like this playstyle, but there's no need to strategically balance your pops (like servitors) I can just not ever use my lizards to colonize.

Mod works alright, However there is a bug that empires spawn without names and can not be interacted with unless they speak to you.

...I never noticed the new advanced negative traits this mod added, until my first multiplayer 2.0 game where my friend still wanted to use the animated series of mods and I got really excited thinking they had added them to base game genetic ascension. The downer playing an ironman vanilla 2.0 was harsh. xD

this seems to work correctly, except that sometimes empires spawn without names?

waiting for 2.0 compatibility, this mod is awesome!

May I ask whether this mod disables acheivements? Any way to get the portraits and other assets without acheievement disabling?

Illuminati confirmed! I'm tired of them putting chemicals in the water that turn the freakin' Lizards gay!

WarriorMech10 -- It's been barely a month since silfae last commented. Cool your jets. They're just busy right now.

I guess his mod series is dead then :c?

aaaa i want to use this but i also want to have open slavery

For some reason, when I select the Geneticist Civic, it endlessly loops the Uplift Announcement, which won't disappear no matter what I do...Considering I'm the first to report it, it MIGHT be a mod conflict, but I don't know...

So..... any new Species mods?

Are you going to make dimorphism content for 1.9? I love your work. :)

I have a question about Parasitic Evolution. So what would happen if I would breed my main species too much? I'm not talking about the enslaved species I'm talking about the ones that suppsoe to stay hidden. Would the public be aware of their existence or no?

... you.... you.... you glorious bastard.

Doktor who season 5

so i went through the comments twice and i find it interesting no one has mentioned the movie series V, which imo seems the most likely source :P

*to start with the ability to genemod your pops*

@silfae Mechanist lets you start the game with actual robots, and the ability to build robot pops, though. Is Geneticist supposed to allow to start the able to genemod your pops, or is my game just not working properly?

Anyone else crashing when they select the city or ships tab?

Also @silfae when i choose hive mind i can only choose your geneticist civic and 2 others from other mods, not sure if its a problem from this mod or with others but thought i should bring it to your attention.

Geneticist only gives you a couple of genetic technologies, you still need to research the others. It only makes you start ahead, like Mechanist.

How does the Geneticists Civic work, exactly? I selected it for a custom empire, but I can't actually gene mod any of my pops on starting a new game (making it kind of worthless, IMO - I wanted to start off being able to tailor my people into different castes). It says I lack the "gene tailoring" tech.

GAY FROGS

THE GOVERNMENT, ITS RUN BY LIZARDS
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It's definitely something new with 1.8 then. I've had far more mods in the past without issue.

I have yet to encounter it, but if that is the case, I'm afraid I can't do anything to fix the issue as it goes beyond the coding of the mod itself.
