Leader Traits: Merge-Add Species Traits

Overview Beginning with Stellaris version 3. 3 "Libra" it is possible to enable traits like Cybernetic and Psionic to be applied to your Pops via gene-modding! Beginning in version 3. 2 "Herbert," Stellaris disallows these traits from being merged onto subspecies which don't already have them, which put a damper on creating super species that melded mind, machine, and science. This mod revives that gameplay - gene-mod away! Changes The Cybernetic, Latent Psionic, and Psionic species traits can be merge-added from one species template to another of the same overall species. As of Stellaris 3. 5 "Fornax" and 3. 6 "Orion," there are special traits for the Overtuned origin and cybernetic empires - this mod also allows those to be freely merge-added and merge-removed. This mod also adds some extra tweaks: Empires with the Genetic Resequencing tradition can remove the Cybernetic, Latent Psionic, and Psionic traits Empires with the Great Awakening tradition can add the Latent Psionic trait Non-xenophobic empires who have finished the Brain Slug quest chain can add that trait to any species templates Empires who have Pops whose species already Brain Slugs can add that trait to other related subspecies (i.e. passes the is_same_species trigger) Empires who complete the Enigmatic Cache quest chain successfully or partially successfully can add the corresponding traits Empires who complete the Alien Box quest chain can add their chosen red/green/blue trait to some species templates Any species that is the "same" as a species which already has the trait (i.e. passes the is_same_species trigger) Don't accidentally gene-mod away your last pop with the special trait, or you will lose access - your scientists need examples to study in order to apply the same changes Compatibility Overwrites four core Stellaris files, and thus is not compatible with other mods that make changes to the same files: common/traits/04_species_traits.txt common/traits/06_distant_stars_traits.txt common/traits/
