I don't intend to update this to 4.0, the new pop mechanics make it relatively redundant. Especially for the effort / compatibility required.

Honestly don't know, I would have to dive into code again because it depends how the migration check works.
If you have the planet entirely banned it should stop migration (or its a game bug) because it flags that the planet is uninhabitable to that species.
If you have breeding banned then it only disables the breeding check, which may not be used for migration, though general migration only adds pop growth numbers.

(Note there will be no changes to the mod as is, because 4.0 completely changes this entire system, so there is reasonable chance the mod will be defunct then)

Does this apply to migration as well? I've got several planets prohibited to enslaved but I'm still getting slaves appearing on them. I've stopped all population growth so either the mod isn't working or they're immigrating from other empires.

i might have experimented with an unholy amount of bio pop assembly speed

Inny, and happy new year to you.
A feature I genuinely don't think I've used....
New version up for you.

if u ever run out of ideas :)
i guess ill then have to keep on turning my surplus pops into ... giga's zro+

Hi Draconas, thanks, but what I need is a scripted variable.
Just put a file in common\scripted_variables with @planet_pop_restrict_mod = 1 in it.
Wishing you all the best for 2025! :)

Jeor Mormont "the old bear" In theory I think it would, it is not something intend to add though.

Inny: new version updated, not sure if you wanted a local one in triggers or a global one in script_values so added both.

Hi inny.

Sure can this weekend.

Hello, can you please add a scripted variable for compatibility? @planet_pop_restrict_mod = 1
Thanks!

this is very nice. would it be possible to also straight up forbid bio pop assembly and or growth, even for the primary species?

I'll look at assembly at a later point, but i am not putting in vanilla fixes. You shoudl raise that one on the PDX forums so they can fix it in vanilla.

Would it be possible for this mod to restrict pop assembly as well? There seems to be a bug in the base game where it ignores the chosen race in favor of whatever one the game decides is the only race it wants to assemble, so it makes clone labs a pain to work with.

Just FYI the version string code changed so now you need to put a 'v' in front of the version number for it to appear up-to-date in the launcher.

= "v3.13.*" instead of just normal numbers

Dude you are a genius

3.12 version dropped, this does have some changes to 3.11 version due to the relevant rules being updated.

Dropped a verison with the version bump

Err should do, I did not spot any rules changes

I really hope this still works in 3.10, it's just what i was looking for... time to find out

Updated to 3.8 - no changes this version

Thank you!

There we go, logic moved out into triggers

There's no mod too small to support. :)

Hey Inny, I'll see what I can do! Surprised to see you here though, there are only 500 subs to this one.

Hello, I would need a few scripted triggers for compatibility. One for each policy flag involved in the game rules. Something like:
has_policy_residentliving_restricted = { has_policy_flag = residentliving_restricted }
has_policy_residentliving_restricted_habs = { has_policy_flag = residentliving_restricted_habs }
And so on. Thanks!

That can't be reverse engineered, it's done in code.
The only way I can think to do it is via a nasty hack by putting spieces traits in, and I'm not going there.

D: Not Even Reverse Engineering The Population Restriction when it comes to Limiting it to JUST that one Species Breeding there?

Alas that's basically not possible with what we have to work with

Wish This mod Made it so you could Make it so that SPECIFIC Species Could be Barred from Living/Breeding on Certain Worlds.

Cool :D

I agree, so have uploaded a new version

I'll have a look.

I would change the restriction from egalitarian to fanatic egalitarian.
Just because you're egalitarian doesn't mean you'll tolerate *any* species running around your empire, especially given that egalitarians can purge/displace as much as they like.

Updated to 3.6

If you have just set the pop breeding it you can probably still assemble restricted pops, as it edits the "species_can_procreate" trigger which i suspect is not called for pop assembly.

Stopping them living on a planet at all edits the "species_can_live_on_planet", which will be checked for assembly, so i don't expect those pops to assemble.

you can still manually set it to build restricted pops, but from what i can tell it looks like it wont auto select pops that are not allow to breed there. not sure about ones that just cant migrate

This mod is god-tier, it's exactly what I was looking for! Now I can play as a xenophile empire but still have control of my pops. Does this apply to pop assembly as well?

Thanks

this really should be in the base game, its such a quality of life improvement

3.4 Release. Basically no changes.

3.3 Release. Basically no changes as 3.3 has not altered the affected rules

(you can probably test by moving it to the bottom of your load order. If it suddenly starts working its another mod (which has now broken a you have by rules not its rules)

that would be what i expect with a mod conflict - unfortunately very hard to tell which mod is poking them. I will test this week just to be sure though.

@Draconas To clarify the policies showed up and I could enact the decisions, but they didn't seem to work. I chose the planetary+habitat restriction, and the slaves still both grew on habitats and on planets with restriction decisions. It could be another mod, though.

Hrmm, interesting, I mean it should, as it's just a rules change, if you are adding it to a new save it probably won't apply until the game has cause to check if a pop can grow/move (which may not be until it finishes growing the existing pop and needs to check a new one).

The more likely scenario is are you running other mods that may alter the game rules?

This doesn't seem to work when added to saves, which I guess I should have expected.

This has been updated to 3.2, required only a tiny tweak

This will get updated to 3.0, but given the rules it tinkers with are pretty fundamental to the game operating, I would not use it until I do.

I assume so, Smithy is still doing active dev on his mods.
