yeah I've not had a chance to update this for a while. I'd suggest using MrFunEGuy's fork linked in the description for the time being.

Just as a reminder to folks, this isn't abandoned, just my health issues and other irl stuff dictate how often I can get around to updating it.

Plus even in best possible circumstances I'm not going to be keeping up with Paradox's 3-monthly patch cycle.

here's the only issue i've seen with this mod,if you download it without the required mods,ofc it crashes,if you install it with the mods the UI becomes so big you can't even see the "select" button anymore
ClawedAsh 28 Feb, 2024 @ 11:16am 
Honestly understandable, I'm just happy to see it being updated here and there
LordOfLA  [author] 25 Feb, 2024 @ 5:45pm 
Yeah but I'm not going to be chasing paradox update pace, there will likely be game builds I don't update for
ClawedAsh 23 Feb, 2024 @ 6:11am 
It's back, my go to mod, one of the best mods for the game, I'm so happy to see it's updated again
LordOfLA  [author] 30 Dec, 2023 @ 10:37pm 
will look into it

3.10.4 fanatic cooperative can not use "Social Equality" living standard, you will be utopia at the beginning of the game
LordOfLA  [author] 17 Dec, 2023 @ 6:17am 
Not ideal just yet but enough that I can get back to Stellaris stuff :) However, I won't be chasing the quarterly patches unless it looks like it will be a quick adaptation otherwise I'll keep to 6 monthly updates, life permitting
FinePhenomena 17 Dec, 2023 @ 3:56am 
Best surprise ever haha! Thank you, man, so happy to see this updated. Most importantly, though, hope that this means that things are ok irl for you, now (or have at least have cleared up significantly!) and that you can take everything easy for a while :imcute:
LordOfLA  [author] 16 Dec, 2023 @ 4:25pm 
So, uh, surprise 3.10.4 update? Here you go.
LordOfLA  [author] 4 Dec, 2023 @ 7:59pm 
Yes, that would be expected, this is wildly out of date for current stellaris. Use the FunEFork for now. While i do intend to update this, it is currently on indefinite pause while I sort out irl stuff.

Confirmed to crash-to-desktop (CTD) in latest version of Stellaris (3.10.2).
Doesn't even let you boot to the main menu. Troubleshot as much as I could but could not get this mod to work.
LordOfLA  [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 2:39pm 
No this was last updated for 3.2/3.3 (check change log I always update that) so even if it didn't crash the game it would revert so much stuff you'd be playing a very broken game.

You current options for an E&C fork is either FunEGuys fork of this or E&C BugBranch which is a fork of ethics classic.

I will be updating this and all other mods I'm looking after the moment my irl situation allows. I'm spending money to keep up with DLC and I can't play the game until I update this and other mods.

I know, but many old mods still work with current version of the game (some of them provoke minor bugs during the game, but it still works). While in exactly that situation the game crushes. So I want to understand, whether the mod doesn't work with current version of the game entirely, or it crushes because of some other mods that I use
EJR 18 May, 2023 @ 10:44am 
3.8/Galactic Paragons was released last week Tuesday (May 9), look at the date when this mod was last updated
Dreamscripter 18 May, 2023 @ 10:11am 
Greetings! Does that mod supposed to work with current version of the game (3.8)? Because once I launch the game with this mod activated the game crushes after the loading comes to 100%.

MrFunEGuy's version is working, but I would rather prefer the mod without "More Authorities" integrated.
LordOfLA  [author] 17 May, 2023 @ 6:49pm 
Heh I only import vanilla as-is because I'm terrible at balancing, but I will get to this and the other stuff I look after as my health and government demands allow :)

I do have the mod in a private gitlab repo but I'm still undecided if I want to make it public and start accepting merge requests.
Starfoth The Burgundy Silk Rug 16 May, 2023 @ 2:57am 
It is safe to fork and pull the councilors update from ethics and civics classic for your mod, I worked on it and made absolute sure it was as close to vanilla as possible to avoid deviating from the norm
Although the civics may be different in your mod so you will likely need to do some work to make it match, I can help if need be!
LordOfLA  [author] 20 Mar, 2023 @ 5:24pm 
For those waiting MrFunEGuy has an updated fork with his more authorities mod integrated over here: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2949463581
LordOfLA  [author] 2 Feb, 2023 @ 2:17am 
still I don't intend to change the core of the mod beyond importing vanilla changes. It should largely remain as close to petruxa's 2.8 version of ECA as I can keep it.
LordOfLA  [author] 2 Feb, 2023 @ 2:15am 
yeah, I do want to update all the mods in my workshop ( or retire those that are unnecessary as the case may be). IRL stuff is in motion, but given that it involves local and national government stuff the wheels turn slowly.
EJR 1 Feb, 2023 @ 6:18am 
@zil Problem is that for Redux LordOfLA has IRL issues going on, particularly health issues; this isn't his fault, of course. He hasn't forgotten about Redux at all and wishes to play Stellaris again. But some people have issues that keep them from doing stuff they like, which sadly includes LordOfLA.

i came here from petruxas mod which i have been using for years at this stage. the main modders retired or "took a break" for a long time, and looked for someone to update the mod while they were away. they put this guy "sheaway" as modder and he basically gutted petruxas mod and transformed everything changing basically lots of things, ethics, civics, jobs, pops, you name it, into his own creation. As a result i feel i cant use petruxas mod anymore. it is broken. every day he changes another major thing affecting my games. you feel a major thing could change at any moment into something else. Now it is unbalanced and messed up. I seek a mod to carry on the tradition of a balanced realistic roleplay mod and im looking around. i hope this mod is updated when new DLCs are made because i play stellaris every day.

@skyguy5 might want to read the previous few months of comments
skyguy5 24 Jan, 2023 @ 10:44am 
Love this mod but the Mar 4 2022 version is crashing my Orion.
LordOfLA  [author] 12 Jan, 2023 @ 5:39am 
Yeah, I need to sort out some irl stuff around my health issues before I can turn my attention to fun stuff like updating mods so I can play stellaris more. Don't worry it's not abandoned or forgotten about.
EJR 11 Jan, 2023 @ 4:44pm 
He's been dealing with some IRL stuff so an update may not happen for a whole 12 months since last update
taci Gendal`f 11 Jan, 2023 @ 9:03am 
upgrade, please!?
LordOfLA  [author] 18 Nov, 2022 @ 6:27am 
Update when I finish it. I haven't forgotten about it.
EJR 17 Nov, 2022 @ 1:30pm 
Yeah, I found an alternative to it but that one is just too broken to use (Many users report crashing) so Redux is the one I need
MC Gorbachev 17 Nov, 2022 @ 12:22pm 
Update when? This version is too good, since it's not as overloaded with unnecessary axes and has better civics
LordOfLA  [author] 20 Oct, 2022 @ 4:18pm 
No, not played the beta, but I'll almost certainly have to make changes to the mod for 3.6
Mr. Dorudon 19 Oct, 2022 @ 5:46pm 
Were you able to play the beta? Do you think the upcoming update will break the mod again?
LordOfLA  [author] 8 Oct, 2022 @ 10:31am 
Yeah if you're trying to use this as-is in 3.4 or 3.5 games the empire name localisation stuff changed.

That said 3.5 brought a new way for me to try and work around no-name empires due to ethics/civics changes so I'll be inserting that liberally everywhere too.
MrFunEGUY 7 Oct, 2022 @ 11:29pm 
@E. Red - When empires spawn with no names, there are like 2 possible issues (that I am aware of). First, since 3.4 the localization stuff has been changed, so that can be it. However, more likely is that the country has no ethics. If a country has no ethics, the game doesn't know how to generate a name for it.

@LordofLA - In that case, I patiently wait. Not like Stellaris/modding is the most productive thing I could be doing, haha. Hope your health improves.
EJR 7 Oct, 2022 @ 9:37pm 
Speaking of empire names, did you find out the issue causing empires to spawn with no names?
LordOfLA  [author] 7 Oct, 2022 @ 9:21pm 
there have been substantial code changes from 3.3 to 3.5 so you'd do better waiting on my updating.

I got as far as empire names the other day, I've been busy the past few times with IRL stuff though and now have a cold so updating is on pause again but should resume once I stop sneezing every time I breathe :D
MrFunEGUY 6 Oct, 2022 @ 6:54pm 
Do you think the code has changed little enough that if I start patching it with the 3.3 version that it'll save me time when you update?
LordOfLA  [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 10:33pm 
Heh, the person applying the most pressure is me, cos I wanna play the game dammnit! :D
MrFunEGUY 1 Oct, 2022 @ 11:07am 
Amazing! This is the only mod I'm waiting for to finish patching my collection. No pressure, haha.
LordOfLA  [author] 30 Sep, 2022 @ 10:01pm 
I am currently working on bringing this to 3.5.2, we'll see how long my health allows me to sit and focus on doing so :)
LordOfLA  [author] 27 Sep, 2022 @ 12:24am 
No, I don't give ETA's because my health can change unpredictably on a daily basis. It's frustrating because I can't play the game until I update this and its submods either.
TheNorsePantheon 26 Sep, 2022 @ 7:18pm 
I understand this isn't a priority, but I was wondering if you have any expectations on when you might be able to fix this mod. Thanks :)
LordOfLA  [author] 23 Sep, 2022 @ 10:04pm 
well naturally - especially this one. It's still on 3.3 code :)
Domovoi 23 Sep, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
Get better soon! I've confirmed it's the Ethics and Civics mods that are the issue, not the UI patches. It's happened on every one I've tried not updated to 3.5
Rogue_Asami 22 Sep, 2022 @ 3:07pm 
Okay, I hope your health improves and things get better for you.
LordOfLA  [author] 22 Sep, 2022 @ 5:53am 
Yeah, I'm waiting for this to be updated so I can play Stellaris again too :D But no the only things impacting updates are my health and RL situation.
EJR 21 Sep, 2022 @ 5:40am 
3.5 simultaneously released with Toxoids so I assume maybe
Rogue_Asami 21 Sep, 2022 @ 5:30am 
Will the release of Toxoids impacted how soon this will be updated? I'm asking because this is one of my favorite Stellaris mods and I'm waiting until this is updated to start playing again.
LordOfLA  [author] 4 Sep, 2022 @ 11:39am 
hah, me too :D
