Cloakable Construction Ships

A Stellaris mod that lets empires cloak their Construction Ships, letting them be sneaky like the rest of your fleet. Overview For some reason, when Stellaris got the ability for civilian ships to cloak in First Contact, Construction Ships and Engineering vessels were left off of that list. This mod aims to correct that by giving construction/engineering ships/vessels their own cloaking slot, allowing you to sneak in and set up that outpost in hostile territory! Features New cloaking utility slot on the Construction Ship (and Engineering Vessel for Eager Explorers!) that functions the same as vanilla Science Vessels (auto-upgrades, shield nullification, sub-light penalties). New fleet actions - "Activate Cloak" and "Deactivate Cloak", added to the Ships' fleet view actions panel with a 120-day cooldown. Requirements Stellaris 4. 4 or later First Contact DLC (for cloaking tech) Compatibility This mod patches the following keys from vanilla files, so it may conflict with other mods that touch the same things: The constructor and engineer_vessel ship sizes (adds the cloaking component set and the two fleet actions) The ship_uses_civilian_cloaks scripted trigger (adds both ship_sizes to the logic) Known Issues Cloaking is a full fleet action. I can't find any way to make it a state toggle like for other vessels. This means it WILL cancel your current fleet order(s) unless you queue it. Decloak button doesn't show the time remaining on the cooldown. It's a minor thing and if I find a way to fix it I will, but otherwise it's not stopping anything. Due to the way construction ship designs are generated (at game start) and that they are not a designable ship, this mod will not function completely for existing saves. FAQ "Okay, cool, but what about Nomad constructors?" I've handled Nomad Logistics Ships slightly differently (because they're slightly different ships) in my "Cloakable Logistics Ships" mod, available on the Steam Workshop. "I want to cloak my Arkships!" So do I!
