📋 About This Mod

This mod aims to improve the Lithoids DLC in various ways, giving more portrait variety, adding new species, and integrating Silfae's Silicoids mod with some polish. - Lithoid portraits have more varieties, with more every update. All gained at least one variety, some more than doubled. Sometimes there's subtle changes to the texture. Original palettes maintained sensibly. - Adds new 'remixed' portraits from vanilla files to fit niches. Current focus is more civilised, less bestial 'humanoid' shape Lithoids. There's even Lithoid clothing. - Revives the Silicoid mod by Silfae. Merged into the Lithoid portrait set. Rather than just maintain it I've allocated audio, improved scaling, made graphical fixes and added more appearances. - Additionally adds a few useful traits based on Silfae's. - Portraits can show up on AI empires. - Now adds Silfae's silicoid city standalone thanks to better game moddability. - Two new rooms. One with opaque background, recycling the Silicoid cityset to show a mining colony on an asteroid, in vanilla artstyle. The second is a runic, more civilised Lithoid room. - Adds 3 prescripted empires: A golem building guild that combines a weak nerd race with a strong dumb 'golem' race, a friendly warrior rockman empire based on the advisor voice's personality and a Terravore hivemind. (These currently don't show, non-game-breaking they're just very low priority and not worth delaying 4. 0 update for.) - This mod used to change vanilla balancing but a combination of Paradox patches, added content, and slight changes to how modding works means I took that feature out. Features I'm testing, in order of likelihood: - Separate parts of the models to drastically increase combinations. - Integrate the split-face concept art version. - At least one original species portrait. - Visible cyborg and psionic feature, if I'm able. - Crossovers with other DLCs. e.g. if you own both Lithoids and
