Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Playing as a Criminal Heritage I got constantly humiliated by FE from the start of the game. I haven't done anything to anger them but still kept at a huge -opinion. Then I realised their opinion is based on the number of my branch offices anywhere in the galaxy.

The most broken part is that the actual empire, where I build my branches got only -10 opinion, no matter how many offices i would build on their territory.
FE meanwhile get a stacking -10 opinion, sending them into enrage.


I couldn't find in files, when exactly opinion penalty triggers, but 'common\opinion_modifiers\00_opinion_modifiers.txt' contains penalty itself. I think creating a fix is not a huge issue:

ORIGINAL:

opinion_crime_corp_branch_offices = {
    min = -200
    block_triggered = yes # stops modifier from automatically triggering when trigger evaluates to true

    trigger = {
        FROM = {
            is_criminal_syndicate = yes
        }
        is_gestalt = no
        is_megacorp = no
    }

    opinion = {
        base = -10
    }
}

MY PROPOSED FIX:

opinion_crime_corp_branch_offices = {
    min = -200
    block_triggered = yes # stops modifier from automatically triggering when trigger evaluates to true
    trigger = {
        FROM = {
            is_criminal_syndicate = yes
        }
        NOR = {
            is_gestalt = yes
            is_megacorp = yes
            is_country_type = fallen_empire
            is_country_type = awakened_fallen_empire
        }
    }

    opinion = {
        base = -10
    }
}

Steps to reproduce the issue.
1. Play as a Criminal Syndicate
2. Contact any FE (besides robot ones)
3. Build Criminal offices anywhere
4. Get a stacking opinion debuff, depending on the amount of branches.

This is save that you can use to test it. Fallen Empire on the south-east. Try to close/open branch offices and you see how their opinion changes.

I also made a mod (in steam workshop) that fixes FE opinion. I am pretty sure, that only -10 opinion from normal empires is also a bug (as opinion_modifier states that it stacks up to -200), but this is not a big deal actually (everyone still hates me).

Looks like with the latest patch you fixed the scaling of normal empires opinion about you based on number of branch offices.

But FE still hates you for every office in the galaxy. Come on, this is one of the only civics that are stealth centred, and it's ruined by constant humiliation wars, declared by FEs.
