Verenti's fixes

[Verenti]

So, certain things in Stellaris are... not as I would have done them. So I will fix some of them. Each item listed is its own mod.
edit: here's the collection.
edit2: here's the direct download version. Please use the workshop versions if you can.

List of fixes:
1) Genetic Traits
a) The tech the gives +5 leader years now gives, in addition to +5 years, +1 traits
b) Planned mod to make all trait gains +2

- Some times you just need to live in a biologicist's vision of the future.

2) Non-restricted governments : Individualist and Collectivist ethics no longer limit your government choice.

- Because, as a political scientist, that was a really dumb choice.

3) Designable Transports : You can now design and upgrade troop transports

- For some reason "broken" was WAD.

4) Prethoryan Scourge fix

- Because they were unbeatable.

5) Carrier Range Fix

- Now, your strike craft will fly out to engage the enemy when battle begins

6) Fighter Buff

- +2 to all strike craft range, gave fighters autocannon animation and bombers energy torpedo animations

7) Projectile Weapons Buff

- People have been saying projectile weapons are underpowered, so I gave them all 50% shield penetration. WIP. Feedback welcome.

8) Individualism Changes

- Made some small adjustments to Individualisms. A small buff to give leader xp gain, no happiness malus for selective breeding policy and changes to democratic crusaders to allow for other individualist/militarist regimes to take it.

More to come.

Also, I want to give a big **** you to whomever decided to use the supported version system again. I know people would complain at paradox for mods that aren't working with the current version, but making them complain at your modding community instead, isn't a solution. It's just highly, highly selfish.

I've engineered a fix for the Prethoryan Scourge. With it, the bombardment of planets returns them to barren.

 

[Verenti]

Uploader is fixed again. Uploaded mods. I'm presently working on some rebalances (colonise any planet, home world starts degraded, replicants and grouping all human species together in a way that they recognise one another), but as of yet, I have no success to post.

 

[Verenti]

I fixed carriers.

 

[RoboticManiac]

Brilliant work on the fixes. Much obliged.

Pray tell, are the mods save game compatible?

oh so they are meant to actually return to barren to be able to rot them out? Thats why I maybe am not progressing with them

When their fortifications turn to 0 they're supposed to become barren again, but the trigger is broken.

Yes, if you load a save game, the mods will function as normal. You'll even get all the trait points for times you took that tech.

 

[GothicEmperor]

I fixed carriers.

Is it really as a simple as multiplying their out-of-formation-distance range by 10?

 

[Verenti]

Is it really as a simple as multiplying their out-of-formation-distance range by 10?

Yes and no. It's not perfect. If your carriers get stuck behind longer range ships, they'll not fire, and therefore they won't send fighters out, and targetting seems to confuse the fighters a bit.

But otherwise, yeah, that's all it took.

 

[Verenti]

If anyone has any requests, I'll happily take a swing at them.

Right now I'm toying with a few ideas, but they're bigger than these fixes and require a lot more legwork. So, sometimes its easy for me to crack out a mod or two.

 

[Verenti]

Hah. I don't know how useful this is to anyone, but I made a mod to play MOO2 music when you go into diplomacy. I think it's limited per species group, and it goes away if you enter the deal menu, but it's a working prototype.

 

[Ventessel]

How compatible with other mods are these fixes?

 

[Khanwulf]

If you're taking requests I have a simple one: a mod that greatly increases the chances of finding primitive/pre-space species. If you can also influence the odds of such--or of another spacefaring race--in the player's home system (only the player), that would be grand.

Basically if you set out with your race to play a benefactor to the galaxy, it may very well RNG you out of hours of play before you realize there is no one around to benefit... I think a mod to address this, for the games someone needs it for, would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Observation Posts being broken by adding them to sectors? Great work btw!

I don't think that is fixable. I will take a look at it though.

 

[Chrysaetos]

Oh my god, thanks for the Transport, Scourge and Carrier fixes. This will make my game so much more enjoyable.

As far as suggestions, all I got is Genetic Modification not making the species into a different one (doubt this is easily fixed without tampering with source code) and a buff to Mass Drivers since they really should do more damage if they're less accurate than Lasers and Missiles.

 

[Cannes]

Great work, I have two requests!
Removal of arbitrary 1000 max navy capacity limit.
Fix (fanatical) xenophobe so that they don't hate eachother and their "Alien overlords" when you have genetically modified your own species.

 

[HeartsofMetal]

Wait, not being able to design your transportships is WAD? Seriously Paradox?

 

[Cannes]

One more request!
Make strategic resources empire wide instead of being confined to the sector it is in.
