@Princess Stabbity It's in the 00_scripted_triggers file of vanilla, the Necrophage trait effect is managed under the can_be_leader script, but you might also be able to do something similar with the allows_alien_leaders script (in the same file)

@Dat Fishe: We'd love that, but I don't see anything in the Necrophage scripting that could we could use to replicate that behaviour on the mod's end. What specific trigger are you referring toy?

@Princess Stabbity The Necrophage origin uses a scripted trigger to prevent non-Necrophage pops from becoming leaders/rulers, have you considered doing something similar, potentially using the Amaranthine trait? Given the unique mechanics for Asari leaders, I also think it would be nice as the player to be able to have all-Asari leaders without the negative penalties that come from denying a species full citizenship - particularly in regards to immigration.

Small Update!
Nothing too noteworthy except there's now a generic version of the biotic trait that can be added via gene-modding.
If it seems like a random addition, that's because it was originally supposed to be part of a standalone MEC: Biotics mod, but I couldn't find the energy to finish it and most of its intended content had already been merged into Asari with the 4.0 update, so I decided to just incorporate the rest of it.

@Dat Fishe: It's intentional. Because the prescripted empires have elective governments, we wanted to prevent non-asari leaders from becoming rulers. While a player can do whatever they want with their policies, AI-played xenophile empires tend to do weird things when full citizenship is enabled.

Thanks for the test Stabbity seems i have a mod conlficting. i dont even see the eternity tradition.

Not sure if this is intended or not, but the AI personality for the Asari Republics seems to default to giving Xenos Residency status instead of Full Citizenship, which doesn't seem to fit with what I know of Asari lore or their intended playstyle

@Vetorian: They should be able to pick them. I ran a test just now and the entire process went as expected ( screenshots [imgur.com])

If it's not working for you, please make sure you aren't using any outdated/conflicting mods, and your empire fulfils all the tech and building requirements you need to adopt and progress the ascension.

Hey is it wanted that Asari can't pick up biological ascension perks ?

@Teutonic_Thrash: Ooops! I knew I forgot to finish something >.< Will fix in a minute!

The Nos Parnalo Black Site (on Illium) gives Researchers jobs, but on 4.0 Researchers jobs no longer exist I think, so there's now an empty and unusable job slot in the Economy section of the planet view.

What's up with the star system connected to the capital system for Athena Nebula? Looks weird.

Actually... yes, the note is a bit vague. I adjusted it to be more explicit.

@victoriousdread07 (private): Yes. In case the note isn't clear, they don't just benefit from the humanoid species class, they are in the humanoid species class.

notes say that the asari benefit from the humanoid species class, does that mean they benefit from the selective kinship civic with other humanoids?

Thank you so much for the update! I absolutely love your mod!

Thanks so much for the update - this one of my favorite Stellaris mods

Thank you for all the hard work!

YEEEEEEEEE

RELEASE!
IT'S OUUUUUUUUT! @o@

Please check out the Change Notes for details. There's too much to summarise.
Also! PLEASE be mindful of mod conflicts . Before reporting any issues, make sure to disable any and all mods that haven't been updated yet; especially ones that might conflict with, or are related to MEC: Asari

Thank you so much for the mod

yasssss, lets gooo

TOMORROW! >o<

Please Note! If anyone wants to keep playing on the 3.x version, this is the last warning to make a local backup of the mod. We only support the newest version of the mod and do not provide legacy backups. Tomorrow's update will not be backwards-compatible with anything prior to Stellaris 4.0!

For more details and the preliminary changelog, please visit our Discord #announcements channel.

Please inform us when it's out!

It should go without saying, but please don't try to use the mod until it's updated.
The update should be ready in a few days, so please be patient with us a little longer <3

the ships are clased as biological for som fucking reason

UPDATE WHEN?????????????????????

What? Elves but not Asari? How dare, I say! How dare!.
Team, I hope you reflect upon your actions.

YAY, thanks again!

Thank you for your patience everyone. The Elves of Stellaris update process took up most of my attention over the past 2 weeks, but we have now switched focus to MEC, so it should be updated SOON! >.<

We occasionally post more detailed progress reports on Discord (link in description), so please join it to stay up to date <3

take your time and thx for this amazing mod

oh thank god you're still here, I love this mod more than any other, thank you for working on the compatibility patch!

Follow up on my post. To fix this issue, go into the 00_mec_asari_graphical_culture file and past this in right underneath mec_asari_01:
ship_kinds = {
default_ship
space_amoeba
tiyanki
voidworm
cutholoid
crystalline_entity
}

This mod's shipset is not classified correctly. It's classified as a biological shipset instead of a mechanical one.

Hey! I'm the guy who still played your mod on 3.1.2 a long time ago and asked you for a favor, to which you generously answered. I'm finally back into stellaris (that game I needed to finish by the way went totally spectacular in the end, thank you again) and can't wait (but I will) for the 4.0 mod patch. Thank you for keeping up with this awesome mod! <3

take your time, you can't rush perfection

IT'S 4.0 PATCH DAY @.@

Please keep in mind that most of our mods are going to be broken in many different, exciting and unpredictable ways until further notice! 4.0 is a huge base game update that shakes the foundations of the game and we have yet to fully test it and make adjustments.

We are working on compatibility updates as we speak, but it may take us a few days. We are hoping to release updates as soon as they are ready to go! Thank you for your patience <3

Out of curiosity is there a gigastcutrues patch? Even just for ringworlds?

Would it be possible for you to move this species class to humanoid so we could use the selective kinship civic with them?

3.14 but 4.0 hits on May 5th I believe. Might want to postpone a new game for a week or two to let all the mods get updated.

Which version is currently supported?

Where to get it?

@Kerovanka: The best we can do is a version from 32 Marchl 2015. Take it or leave it.

hi, me need version from the 31October's 2016. can yuo help?

When i finish the terraforming storyline for Illium the planets graphics box becomes black with just the asari city type

@MttfPrce: Do you have any mods that override the vanilla Indentured Assets civic or any of the ethics? If something in your game is making the prescripted empire no longer legal, it will disappear from the list.

for some reason illium stopped being an option when looking at the new game empire list, i tried reinstalling is there anything else i can do to try and get it back?

I don't know if you can do this directly (not using workaround events), but could you make it so the ASI are less likely to become a bulwark for the ASR?

Turning a Megacorp into a bulwark is a terrible idea for many reasons, but every time the ASI gets subjugated by the ASR, this happens and tends to cripple the ASR AI if they don't have more vassals, or aren't on a higher difficulty.

The ASI in my games still tend to run a massive deficit of Influence, since they are still terrible at managing the Polices (they tend to turn them all on and off every 10 years, instead of only using a certain amount).


Either way, love this mod, but the two above issues relating to the ASI AI tend to stick out.

@Princess Stabbity, perhaps you can use "if" to refer to the presence of a mod, as was done during some events and a mechanic with a DLC, but I'm not sure if it is possible to refer to the presence of items from the workshop.

@Gojira71798: They're not characters/armies as such, but yes, you are able to interact with the Justicar Order via Council Agendas.

@Dimonius: Yay! I'm happy you got it to work. I'll see if there's a cleaner way to do this (without referencing IDs that don't exist in the base game) the next time we have to push a bigger patch.
