For those who still play Stellaris 2.1: I created a new AI mod which is based on Glavius's work, but my mod goes much deeper and have a lot of unique features, leading to much better AI.
You can check proof of this and read detailed description here:

Thanks for keeping the Legacy version around, man! I can't stomach 2.2.

thanks

Both ways work together with my mod

No. Either use crisis manager or open console and type "event crisis.199" (that is prethoryn. unbidden is 1000, contingency 2005)

Can I start a crisis with it? I am getting boring xd

Yeah, I updated the description of the unlock mod. It should work with both versions.

By the way does the old unlock mod work for this updated version?

Thanks for the appreciation. Here is the link to the 2.2.x version:

Thank you for putting so much time into this! I haven't really had any success enjoying 2.2 without your mod, so I'm stoked.

LITERALLY unplayable without it

Appreciate it 1000% Game is unplayable without your mod. Being able to customize AI to always keep up with me negates having to deal with its economic AI shortcomings.

Ok. Good news. Unless something goes wrong with my final testing, I'm gonna upload a 2.2.x version tomorrow. Going to create a new mod to no ruin stuff for people still playing on 2.1.x (which is understandable considering the hopefully soon fixed gateway/trade bug that create huge lag). Thus, this version of the mod is gonna stay 2.1.x with an added warning on mod-start that it is outdated.

Yeah!!! thx Gratak

Thanks Gratak for continuing to work on this! It's essential for me in my play-throughs.

No. With the change of the economic system they did change all the modifiers used for difficulty. And I needed to learn the new economic system myself first to be able to reasonably fix this. Thus I will finish my first playthrough with 2.2 before starting to update this mod. Hope I will manage next weekend.

I guess this is ok to use with 2.2?

@Joker: Will have a look how they change vanilla difficulty and what modifiers are available, yes.
@WerWolf: I doubt that is because of this mod. By default, it only does stuff on a yearly base. Either way, the yearly increases (scaling) are the most resource hungry part. On very weak systems you might want to disable those. I'm pretty sure this mod does not create crashes.

I think this is making my game unstable. I am getting super choppy gameplay and my game will just crash at random dates.

Wondering will this be updated in 2.2 so that there will be buffs to all the new resources they are adding?

Well that is already in @Fazaam, even general. You can make it increase the stuff every n-th year.

Isn't it possible to do a %2 on the yearly pulse with the year value? If 0, increase by previously defined, if not, do nothing. I don't know how the scripting works...

Sorry. Really impossible. One would need to add a whole lot of new modifiers and generally change a lot of things. Paradox can do this since they are able to have a modifier with a multiplier, but that is not available for modders.

Hi Gratak! Firstly, thanks for your mod it has made the game more playable for me than before!
But I'm actually looking to make the possibility to increase the ressources yearly by 0.5% instead of 1%, i'd like to ask you if that's even possible (i won't ask you to do it directly but some little help might be apreciated :) ) and if so, how?

You have saved my Fuedal Empire civ. No amount of love of RP could overcome my frustration at finding that my idiot vassal is horribly useless, but this mod sorts it all out :)

Activating in Launcher was the issue
Thanks Gratak!
You got my thumbs up

Every 4 years IIRC. You see the details that are set by the standard stuff though if you go into the according menu (same as the custom things you set).

No influence on claim. Though I expect they would claim more if you give them bonus influence. Just guessing though.

How much does the standart scaling options, if enabled, add every 4 years?
Does this mod influence the claim system in any way? or how the AI uses claims ?

You did activate it in the launcher? Do you get the mod-startup event when you start a new game? If the answer is yes to both, I guess I'd need a screenshot of what exactly the problem is.

Running 2.1.3
Subsribed to mod
No menues showing in the edict menu
Can you help?

Sweet thanks for the reply

Anything that is not in the other categories really. Pirates and space monsters should be the only ones in vanilla yes.

What does "Others" constitute? Pirates and space monsters?

Not sure what you mean. You can always show them via edict or mod Menu (unless you are not the host in an MP game). Options might be locked if you used the "lock" feature, but the menus would still show.

how to show menus again in game

Not that I know of. But I'm no expert on Stellaris MP

I have a question, is there any chance all those modifiers the mod adds to AI and players can cause a crash in multiplayer?

Added a remark in the description under "important". That question is indeed a good one and has been asked a few time.

Thanks for the reply a week back. Unfortunately I’m having a problem. For some reason the AI empires in my game are not getting any science bonuses. They get the minerals and energy bonus, they get the fleet cap and unity part of the human resource bonus, but no bonus to society, engineering, or physics. I tried using the advanced customization that you told me about to give them only a science bonus instead of a bonus to all human resources but that didn’t work either. The bonus shows up on the dynamic difficulty mod menu but when I use debugtooltip to see the AI’s resource income their science income never changes. I also paused and used the console to switch over to an AI just to make sure it wasn’t a graphical glitch causing it to not show up via the tooltip, still nothing changes.

Any idea what could be wrong? Are there certain types of mods that could conflict and make the AI unable to receive science bonuses despite getting all the other bonuses?

Don't know if it is this mod or something else... Yesterday when we played a multiplayer game with this mod we experience something strange with the pirate fleets. We can see the fleet power to be for example 800, but when we encounter them they are suddenly a bitt higher. For example around 900. Do someone know if this is the mod doing this? and does the mod also make the pirates stronger?

Possibly. Though more different bonus-categories means more events the game has to process. I might have a look at this, but I can't tell you when I find the time.

I don't suppose there is any way to make pirates and other "others" have their own bonuses, is there?

Well there is nothing stopping you from combining the two. I don't touch anything that mod touches.

@Gratak, advantage is using your mode with Crisis manager!

I wanted to use Dynamic Difficulty - Ultimate Customization mod cuz without Scaling game is hard at early game stage. With- too boring. I do not want to touch crisiss

@Gratak ok, thanks.

Sorry, but no, that is not possible. There is also not one file you could change to add that without using my mod. The vanilla game application of the difficulty modifiers is hard coded. The only thing I could change there was setting that part to zero and building new difficulty modifiers from scratch.

Though I'm pretty sure that is you do not disable any scaling, the game should not slow down. All my events are the start of a year. The only reason it could generally slow down a tiny bit, is that I simply add modifiers (though I kept that number as low as possible)

Hi @Gratak! I'm trying to find a way to make vassalized AIs useful. Is there a way to use only this option from your mod without changing anything else (cause the game really becomes slower)?
Or maybe you could tell what line in what file I should change to let them have all the difficulty bonuses other AIs have?

Can't do that as an options, since I need to remove the vanilla modifiers and that is only possible by file overwrite. Best thing I could to would be submod of not touching crisis. But what would be the advantage of not touching it?

Probably add option do not touch crisiss at all?

Lol np. 😄
