z - Astro's Stellaris Overhaul - Space Exploration

Astro's Stellaris Overhaul - Space Exploration This mod is intended to make exploring space more fun and interesting, and maybe also a little more mysterious. Note: Should be compatible with virtually any other mod that doesn't edit vanilla anomaly/precursor events or mess with vanilla sensor game rules. Recent Updates - Updated for 3. 13.x compatibility - Removed the Space Storms event since now we have Cosmic Storms. Feature Summary New Precursor - the Xel'Naga (from the Starcraft universe) Removed the null spawn chance from anomalies, so they have a higher chance of happening at least once. The AI will research precursor anomalies now (and may beat you to the precursor homeworld!). Takes longer to survey celestial bodies. Planet hyperlane detection range decreased by 1. First Contact time increased. Space monsters more likely to wander, and more likely to wander farther. Takes longer to research anomalies. Higher chance of finding anomalies. The following celestial bodies now also block sensors: -- Wormholes -- Neutron Stars -- Pulsars -- Black Holes You can now get multiple precursor event chains simultaneously (and so can the AI!). Observation station events are more likely to happen. Made the unexplored part of space (terra incognita) darker, so you can't see all of the stars until you can see the hyperlanes to them. Added new anomalies. AI can now potentially get the Rubricator anomaly. Added a Precursor catch-up event for AI so that the player is less likely to complete multiple precursors.
