Real Pop Ethics Shifting (Discontinued)

This mod is discontinued. I do not plan on providing updates for it in the future, but you can publish your own version of the mod if you think there is still a problem with pop ethics shifting. What Is This Mod? This mod aims to fix an issue that makes it almost impossible for existing pops to change their ethics over time. It should now be possible to suppress a faction out of existence (though it's still not easy) or promote a non-governing faction to the point of embracing its ethic. Overall, you should have much more power to influence the beliefs of your subjects. This mod was inspired by this Reddit post which first brought the issue to my attention. A huge thank you to u/GlompSpark who discovered the way to fix the problem! What Does This Mod Do? In the vanilla game, when a new pop selects the ethic (and thus faction) it wants to be apart of it is extremely unlikely that the pop will ever shift to anything else for the rest of its existence. This is because the weighted modifiers that allow a pop to change their ethic are SO small that it will almost never happen. To counter this I've massively boosted the weights of these modifiers to mimic something similar to what I think the game originally intended. Modifier Changes POP_ETHOS_LOWER_ETHIC_THRESHOLD = 0. 5 5. 0 If the % of pops following an ethic is <= this relative to its attraction do not diverge away from it POP_ETHOS_DIVERGENCE_RATE_MULT = 0. 02 1900. 00 Chance of a pop evaluating its ethics every year POP_CHANGE_FACTION_CHANCE = 0. 02 100. 00 Once every month a pop has X chance to change faction but only if the pop wants to Suggestions for improvement are always welcome!
