Corsair's Custom Empires: Halcyon Realms of the Marian Polity

Overview Despite the title being about my custom empire, this mod exists mostly to offer a new origin: Early Catalytic Processing. Begin the game with Catalytic Processing as a bonus Civic that cannot be removed. In addition, you get my light role-play empire (that uses this origin), the Halcyon Realms of the Marian Polity. Origin: Early Catalytic Processing requires the Plantoid Species Pack.

In order to add this gameplay quirk, this mod adds Origin: Early Catalytic Processing that is used by the Mari but is also available for your own custom empires (except with Mining Guilds/Rockbreakers).

Origin: Early Catalytic Processing automatically adds the Authority-appropriate Early Catalytic Processing civic to relevant empires during galaxy generation/game setup, but imposes a heavy food-to-alloy conversion penalty. This penalty can
