E.D.E.N. Protocol

DISCLAIMER: This is a Test Version The origin is feature complete and, judging from our personal test games, good to go for a wider audience of test players. If you decide to try it out, please go in with the understanding that: There may be minor bugs There will be typos and sub-optimal phrasing in some places Balancing might be off In any of the three cases please let us know about it. This separate mod is intended to collect feedback and improve the origin before adding it to the More Events Mod after polishing. So, what is the Origin about? The E. D. E. N. Protocol is a Void Dweller origin for machine empires, but there is more to it. These machines terraform and seed planets with primitive life to then cultivate and maintain it. The player is discouraged from colonizing planets and instead incentivized to reserve them for organics instead. In turn he profits from primitive civilizations being present in his space. Over the course of the game (speed is depending on how many primitives there are) the machine consciousness will self-modify its programming, offering the player choices how to develop their empire, culminating in a decision that may fundamentally change the way the machines treat their fosterlings. Let's talk content 1 Origin, obviously (Void Dwellers for machines, if you don't care about pre-FTLs) 1 starting Destiny Trait A starting situation and final event with impactful player choice 3 Buildings: one for Terraforming, one for creating pre-FTLs and a Driven Assimilator Alternative 1 Relic + Digsite 1 Edict 1 Bombardment stance for aggressive pre-FTLs creation :) Several events mainly tied to the situation and pre-FTL seeding 2 Starting system options ( default + Sol) Compatibility In order to get everything to run as intended, we had to overwrite the following vanilla scripts: event enclave. 7005 (change in the trigger to account for our origin) ascension perk ap_voidborn (change in the potential to account for our origin) scripted triggers is_void_dw
