Kinky Void 1.1.2

Psionic Whores:

• Latentent psionic, and psionic pops working as psionic whores now produce a small amount of administrative capacity (2/3 respectively).
• To account for the lower pop counts in 3.0 the psionic whore tech now adds 1 extra psionic whore job per planet.
• Reduced upkeep cost of the “Psionic Sex Spire” building.
• The techs "Psychic Sex Industry" and "Psychic Sex Networks" have been renamed to "Psionic Sex Industry" and "Telepathic Sex Networks" for flavor consistency.
• "Telepathic Sex Networks" now requires mind over matter ascension perk.
• New Tech, "Psionic Milking":  requires mind over matter ascension perk and "Telepathic Sex Industry", adds a milk cow job for every 20 pops
• New Tech, "Precognitive Sex Workers": acts as the capstone of the psionic whore path, requires transcendence ascension perk and "Telepathic Sex Networks", increases the ratio of psionic whores from pops, and adds a free call girl job to every planet.

Sexbots:

• Sexbot jobs now produce a small amount engineering research to differentiate them more from other sex jobs (1 per sexbot).
• Sexbot energy production boost from industrial prostitution lowered to be less insane (From +4 to +2 other yields unaffected)
• Bugfix: Fixed Missing upkeep for sexbot jobs.
• The LV tech Biological Mimicry is now available to regular empires on the robotics ascension path. Requires "Synthetic Personality Matrix", adds 6 robotic trait points. This gives non machine empires the points to actually play with the lewd robot traits.

Pleasure Suits:

• New planetary decision "Pleasure Suit Crackdown": an alternative to martial law, lowers crime, increases stability and raises pop happiness. Can be removed at any time but leaves behind the pleasure suit withdrawal modifier for 1 years.
• New Temporary Planet modifier: “Pleasure Suit Withdrawal” lowers pop growth, goods produced, and happiness. Currently only added by two sources and mostly for flavor, but more and longer lasting ways to get it may be added in the future.
• Banning pleasure suits now adds the Pleasure Suit Withdrawal modifier to all planets for 6 months.

Sexologist:

• Research Institutes now boost sexologist output.
• Three new techs "Advanced Sexology", "Unified Theory of Sexology", and "Interdimensional Sexology" boost sexologist output by 20% each to let them keep up with traditional researchers as tech advances. Each tech is extremely cheap to research but requires all three researchers boosting techs of the same level.

Misc Changes:

• Sex Planets no longer have a negative effect on amenities required
• Gestalt empire sex planets now boost sex job energy production instead of trade value.
• Bugfix: The “Maid to Serve” trait from the sexbot origin can no longer be added to robot pops.

KV sexopolis tweaks:

• "Sexual Megaprojects" ascension perk now requires either the tech “Habitats” or “Anti-Gravity Engineering”. This is designed as a flavorful change and not an actual attempt at balance.
• Taking the "Sexual Megaprojects" ascension perk or having the “Pleasure Ring” or “Sexopolis” origin will allow you to research the sexologist boosting techs without having the civic. 

New Origin, Sexbot Revolution:

• Requires rogue servitor civic, reduces diplomatic upkeep and boosts bio-trophy happiness.
• All Robot pops start with the Sexbot trait as well as a new trait “Maid to Serve”.
• Maid to Serve: Increases Leader cost and pop amenity usage, decreases pop unity output but gives you the trait points needed for the Sexbot trait.
• Start with a sexbot market on your capital and the tech to build more.

 

Tech Changes:

• Rogue servitors and driven assimilators can now research the Sexbot Industry techs (I forgot machine empires don’t get droids)
• Cybernetic Sex Implants now requires Sexbot Industry instead of Droids. Tech now also boosts sexbot (job) output by 15%.
• New Rare Tech: “Interchangeable Cybernetics” aka the swappable boobs tech, requires Sexbot Cities, Gives extra robotic trait points and reduces species modification cost.

 

Sexbot Job Changes:

• Sexbot buildings are now cheaper.
• Job base output changed from 3/6/3 energy/trade value/amenities to 4/4/4.
• Sexbot jobs now receive a larger boost from LV prostitution policies.
• Sexbot jobs now correctly produce nanites when worked by robots with the correct LV traits.

 

LV changes:

• Bio-trophies can no longer work sex jobs, as that was kind of silly. (bio-trophies can still work in sentient dairies as the idea of mandatory pampering cows was too amusing to remove.)
• Sexbot trait can no longer be removed without the tech to add it in the first place.
   

Pleasure Suit changes:

 

• Pleasure Suit tech is now rarer and slightly more expensive, but is more powerful to make up for its downsides. Now reduces leader cost/upkeep by 20% and gives +5% pop happiness.
• Added a Ruler version of the Pleasure Suit trait. Events should keep the ruler and non ruler version synchronized. 
• Gaining the Pleasure Suit trait will now cause the leader to lose a skill level.
• Suit addicts now have a chance to recover based on their experience and traits, regaining the lost skill level but gaining the “Pleasure Suit Withdrawal” trait.
• Odds of a leader spawning with or randomly gaining the Pleasure Suit trait are now influenced by lewd traits.
• Leaders can now spawn with “Pleasure Suit Withdrawal”
• Overall number of suit addicts should be the same for most empires, but you may want to think twice if your species has the trait “Lewd Mind”, “Sex Addicts” or “Insatiable” 

 

Pleasure Suit Policy system: 

 

After researching pleasure suits empires can now change the legality of suits with a new policy setting. Current options are:

• Pleasure Suits Allowed: the default setting, receive the normal bonuses of the tech.
• Pleasure Suits Prohibited: Lose all benefits of the tech and gain a small amount of crime. Banning suits will cause all current leaders to lose the suit addict trait and will prevent new leaders from spawning with it (they will spawn with Suit Withdrawal instead). Does not stop new suit addicts entirely but does make the event far less likely. Think of it less as a permanent setting and more as a reset button if you have too many addicts around.
• Pleasure Suit Slavery: requires slavery allowed, adds extra stability and slave happiness on top of the normal effects of the tech. However it also makes suit addicts more common, and recovery less likely

Future updates will probably include new policy options and more effects from switching between them.

 

Jobs:

 

• “Exotic Cows” produces an even split of motes/gases/crystals and benefits from all cow output traits/techs/policies. Less output per job then the vanilla equivalents but you get two cows per building.
• “Sexbots” put those sexy robots to work,  powerful sex job that also gives energy. Can only be worked by robot pops. Receives extra benefits from “Cybernetic Sex Implants” tech. 

 

Techs:

 

• "Quantum Porn Broadcasts" and “Quantum Entangled Sex Toys” new physics techs at tier 3 and 4. Boost trade protection as your pops no longer need to leave the house to have sex with xenos half the galaxy away.
• “Exotic lactation drugs”, requires lactation drugs and all three rare resource techs, unlocks the exotic dairy/exotic cows.
• “Advanced Pleasure Training”, unlocks a new building, the “Brainwashing Center”, acts as an upgraded version of the military academy that also lowers army cost.
• “Psychic Sex Networks” psionic path, unlocks the “Psi Sex Spire” building which increases the number and boosts the output of Psionic Whores
• “Sexbot Industry” robotics path, requires droids, unlocks the building that provided sexbot jobs.
• “Sexbot Cities” robotics path, unlocks the tier 2 sexbot building.

 

Traits:

 

• “Milky Orgasms” makes sex jobs produce a small amount of food. Though generally less than their own upkeep, so think of it more as a discount then a food source.

 

Civics:

 

• “Sexology Division”: now megacorps can get sexologists too.
• “Open Door Policy”: more interesting version of vanilla Free Haven, removes influence cost for migration treaties but adds it for closed borders. For getting more sexy xenos into your empire without having to conquer them. Not compatible with other mods that modify influence costs (blame paradox for hard coding them).
• “Sexulised Culture” Adds extra unity to all sex jobs. Would be OP if you couldn’t already get a stupid amount of culture from sex workers by using the prostitutions promoted policy.
• “Pleasure Suit Industry” Start the game with pleasure suits unlocked. Has a build in reduction to the frequency of suit addiction, but can not ban suits.

 

LV Balance Changes:

 

• Changed some LV buildings to work more like vanilla and require techs to unlock
• Level 2 sex building now require the “Sex Cities” tech.
• Level 2 Dairy now requires the “Sapient Dairy Estates” tech.
• LV civics that add a starting tech no longer have an unnecessary research popup on game start.

 

Backend:

 

• Moved LV balance changes into their own files so they can be turned into a separate download in the future.

• Fixed localization files for languages other than English. (for real this time)

 

Minor Changes:

 

• Automatic colony designation now accounts for the new buildings.
• Research Planets now affect serologist upkeep.
• Improved sexology icon by adding tiny flasks, because flasks = science.
• Cleaned up some tooltips. 

 

1.0.3:

Sexologists changes:

 

Empires with the sexology civic will now start the game with a sex lab instead of a research lab. 

 

Sex labs now convert back to research labs if owned by an empire without the sexology civic. hopefully the researchers don't mind some of the lab equipment being a little sticky.

 

Sexologists now have identical base output to researchers. This avoids weird scaling issues and makes it easy to figure out who will give you more output. (Its probably the sexologists)

 

Other changes:

 

Pleasure suit addiction now happens about twice as often. Still trying to find a good point where the overall effect on your leaders in noticeable but not crippling.

 

Fixed broken localization for the "Sex Job Upkeep" modifier used by the Sex World colony type.

 

1.0.2:

"Psychic Sex Industry" tech now creates "Psionic Whore" jobs, this is mostly just for flavor, but they do receive an extra production boost if the species has the Psionic or Latent Psionic traits.

 

Fixed missing localization files for people playing in languages other an English, though the complicated method of copying over then English file into the other language folders.

 

1.0.1:

Techs:

• New Tech: “Psychic Sex Industry” adds 1 extra whore job per 20 population. Requires Psionic Theory, twice as likely to show up if you have “Mind Over Matter”.
• New Tech: “Cybernetic Sex Implants” basic sex jobs now add energy equal to 15% of their base trade value. Concubines are excepted as their bodies are too sacred to be modified so drastically. Requires Droids, three times as likely to show up if you have “The Flesh is Weak”
• Pleasure Suit changes: now reduces leader upkeep and unlocks Pleasure Suit Armies, is now marked as a dangerous tech instead of rare. 
  • Pleasure Suit Armies, more expensive to recruit, but have stupidly high morale.
  • Pleasure Suit Addict trait now reduces leader exp gain as its old negative didn’t actually work.
  • Leaders will now slowly gain the Pleasure Suit Addict trait by event.
• New Tech: “Combat Pleasure Training” has Pleasure Suits old non trait effects, Experts assure us it’s not technically brainwashing.

 

Balance and quality of life:

 

• Nerfed sexologists to be less blatantly over powered: base output changed from 4/5/4 research points, to 3.69/4/3.69. 
• Added custom effect tooltips for all added leader trait effects.
• Cleaned up most tooltips to remove unnecessary periods.

 

1.0.0: 

 

Techs:

 

• Robotic Pleasure Suits: boosts army morale, unlocks recruitment of slut armies. Leaders may gain the Pleasure Suit Addict trait. Requires Powered Exoskeletons
• Slut armies: low upkeep, high moral/moral damage, low actual damage,
• Self-Contained Life Support Miniaturization aka the Slut-in-a-Box tech: boosts trade protection, resettlement costs, and colony starting population. Requires LV sex slavery tech.
• Hedonic Enhancers: Small boost to leader exp, unlocks the powerful Hedonic Enhancer Deregulation edict.
• Hedonic Enhancer Deregulation:  Reduces war exhaustion, boosts pop happiness, and job output, massively increases pop amenity usage.

 

Leader Traits:

 

• Admirals and generals now have their own versions of the Lustful Body trait
• Masochist trait for generals. It’s all upsides as long as you don’t mind your armies never disengaging.
• Pleasure Suit Addict, available to all leaders once the tech is researched. Suited leaders are cheaper and learn faster, but are far too distracted to have the same skill level. For extra fun it doesn't even use up a trait point.

 

Species Traits:

 

• Insatiable: Put those sex industry amenities to use with a species that now require twice as many amenities as normal pops.
• Switch: Gain some of the advantages of both the dominant and submissive traits in a single trait slot. Sadly doesn't trigger LV synergy bonus, maybe it was too hard to script, or maybe they're just not quite kinky enough.

 

Civics:

 

• Sexology Studies: Gain access to sexology labs and their resident sexologists, researchers who count as a sex job giving them bonuses from all of those LV’s sexy traits.

 

Minor Changes:

 

• Sex World colony type added, reduces sex job upkeep and boosts trade value.
• LV dairy colony type now correctly uses cow icon, nerfed unnecessary free stability from 10 to 5 (was accidentally set to use icon 3 instead of icon 13)
• LV Intergalactic Prostitution Industry is now less likely to show up for non egalitarians/materialists instead of being literally impossible. (no idea if this was intentional)
• LV Sex Slave and Franchised Prostitutions civics now restrict which prostitution policies you can take.
