Ascension Enhancements

This mod removes all the Ascension Path restriction for Utopia (i.e. those following the psionics route can also follow the AI route, etc). Hive Minds are no longer restricted to only the Biological ascension path. With Synthetic Dawn, Machine Empires can also follow both the Psionic and Biological Route, though they are restricted from the Synthetic path currently. Features: Allows selection of multiple Utopia ascension paths (biological, synthetic, psionic) Unlocks Utopia ascension paths for Gestalt Consciousnesses Warning: game balance is not a consideration for this mod. Versioning: This mod currently works with the 2. 1 release with Utopia. Compatibility: This mod updates a couple pieces of pre-existing functionality. Compatibility is not guaranteed with mods that affect the following ascension perks: Engineered Evolution (Utopia) Evolutionary Mastery (Utopia) The Flesh Is Weak (Utopia) Synthetic Evolution (Utopia) Mind Over Matter (Utopia) Transcendence (Utopia) Synthetic Age (Synthetic Dawn) Machine Worlds (Synthetic Dawn) This mod also modified the species trait 'Cybernetic'. Patches: (Ascension Enhancements - Utopian Dream patch) - Compatibility patch for The Utopian Dream Known Issues: Gestalt Consciousnesses cannot research Psi Jump Drives or Precognition with Shroud help. Instead, random discovery now occurs, though rarely. Potential future enhancements: Investigate 'ascension' to Gestalt Consciousness Test incremental assimilation for Synthetic Ascension (and potentially Gestalt Conscioness ascension) Fix Synthetic Ascension's distinct lack of slavery (Caste System) Allow species with Psi Emitters/Receptors to get special Crisis event conversations Photo credit: https://pixabay.com/en/users/fabrikaideas-3425916/ under CC0 1. 0 License.
