z - Astro's Stellaris Overhaul - Empire Management

Astro's Stellaris Overhaul - Empire Management This mod is meant to provide you (and the AI!) with more options for running your empire. It includes only internal-facing changes, and doesn't change xeno diplomacy or relations with other empires. Note: Should be compatible with virtually any mod. Recent Updates - Added a few more repeatable techs. - Fixed bug where gestalts were getting Trade-related techs. - Added a Tech Focus policy. Requires the research of a tech to be able to focus on the an area. - Put some of the new features behind technologies. - Removed Agendas since they are no longer in the game. - Fixed Bioconvergence turning Machine and Lithoid pops into Biological pops. - Removed some features that are now in vanilla (e.g., tech cost penalty based on empire size). - Updated for 3. 13.x compatibility, including topbar_traditions_view for new crisis path. - Fanatic Ethic edicts now have an initial cost. Feature Summary The tradition penalty for being over the empire size is larger. If a tech was one of the alternatives last time, it is more likely to remain a research option. AI now pays full cost for gene/robomodding projects. AI can expand up to 99 jumps away (instead of 2). Many new repeatable technologies New Edicts for Fanatic Ethics New Leader Traits Leaders can now gain traits when levelling up if they already have 3. New Ascension Perk (bioconvergence) when you don't want a million species in your empire. Added Conscription policy. Added repeatable techs for Encryption and Decryption. Increased maximum growth from immigration. Vanilla Overwrites common/defines/00_defines.txt (specific defines only) interface/topbar_traditions_view.gui (replaces the Traditions view to display the 4 additional Ascension Perks) Credits I used some content from the following abandoned mods: Like_A_Stone's Stone's Politics Xpansion (last updated 20160601) Scarecrow's Trait Compendium (last updated 20180223) Arky's Conscription (last updated 20190726) Dazz Aephiex's Tra
