Vassal Contracts Unleashed Revived

CUSTODIAN NOTICE Hello good people, Unfortunately, Darth Tiredlass has retired from Stellaris mod development. As part of my effort to revive and maintain unmaintained and/or abandoned Stellaris mods, I have taken up the mantle as the custodian of Vassal Contracts Unleashed. I intend to keep this mod updated for future Stellaris releases for as long as I am able. I will only maintain the current Stellaris version. Legacy releases beginning with version 4. 4 will remain available on the GitHub repository for anyone wishing to play older game versions. If you encounter a bug, would like to contribute, or simply want to chat about Stellaris modding, feel free to join my Discord!
