stellaris [ALPHA] The Abyss Above 0.0.4c

[THIS MOD IS EARLY IN DEVELOPMENT AND BARELY FUNCTIONAL!!!]

The universe of Stellaris is filled with endless possibilities. Gene splicing, cybernetic enhancement, hivemind assimilation, and other outrageous possibilities. And yet, HYPER gene modification poses more questions than any of them. How can DNA spontaneously create nutrients? How is rewriting the DNA of billions of individuals in an instant possible? And what kinds of kinky, weird, fucked-up things can we do to our bodies now that we're able to access limitless power? All of this and more, is within TAA.

[What this mod currently adds]

• A total of 20 traits.
  • Three mostly finished trait trees
    • Breast Number, Breast Size, and Oviposition
  • One half-finished trait tree
    • Ass Size
• (As the quest line isn't implemented currently, these are just the traits in their raw form).

[What is planned for this mod]

• 36 different strains of growth traits (dick size, cum volume, ass size, weight gain, pregnancy, growing, shrinking, and more) for a rough estimate of more than three hundred total traits (most of them hidden from regular view, exclusive to events).
  • The core mod will focus primarily on hyper growth, pregnancy, and relatively common kinks.
  • Eventual sub mods will be themed around specific kinds of kinks, like a vore pack or a corruption pack.
• A quest chain focused around creating a facility to modify your species DNA, and draw HYPER energy from the fabric of the universe.
  • Which would entail activating the gene of choice, and upgrading it repeatedly.
• Multi-paragraph flavor-text events describing the changes as they happen.
• Custom ascension perks.
• TBD

[Q&A]

• "Should I download this while it's this early in development?"
  • If you're curious about what's going into it, and/or want updates whenever progress is made, sure! But the mod isn't really playable nor tested currently.
• "These traits get really, really busted later down the line."
  • That's the point! You're genetically modifying a species to have breasts the size of buildings, gallons of cum pouring out of their dicks every minute, or wombs filled with millions and millions of eggs. It'd be weird if milking them didn't get you obscene amounts of fluid, or that obscene amounts of pop growth wouldn't occur.
• "These trait descriptions are really wordy, it makes it hard to read what a trait does at a glance."
  • In making a mod like this, I'm effectively turning a strategy game into an erotic game. The focus is the sexual content, and less so the actual game. Besides, I think detailed descriptions of this stuff makes it hotter.
• "Isn't this a bit ambitious?"
  • At this stage, yes! I'll fully admit that I may be in over my head here. But if I fail, I fail.
• "What's the short-term future looking like?"
  • Currently, I'm planning on getting 5-6 trait "trees" implemented. Once they're implemented, I'll begin working on the actual mechanics I have planned, and sus out how difficult custom events, structures, and traditions are to create.
• "What is the end-goal of this mod?"
  • The goal is that you'll either pick a "seed" trait at the start of the game (which will slowly improve over time), or fire off an event mid-game to give your species one. From there, after researching gene editing, you'll unlock a "HYPER Program" ascension perk which will begin a lengthy quest line involving building research facilities, culminating in a megastructure laboratory. All the while, you'll slowly upgrade that "seed" trait, triggering story scenes as you go. Some trait trees will culminate in endgame events, whereas others will simply leave your species in a warped, twisted, horny fugue.

[Download Instructions]

(Make sure you have Lustful Void downloaded)

[Content Warnings]

As you may surmise from the description, this mod deals with numerous kinds of kinks. While each mod should (hopefully) be signposted well, there may still be unexpected kinks within that you're not into. On my end, I'll be avoiding triggering subjects (incest, cnc, non-con, etc.) and trying to ensure that the worst surprise you can get is a single trait or two of a kink that's not your thing. On your end (yes, you!) I expect you to navigate this mod as an adult. Install only the mods that you're into or curious about. If something rubs you the wrong way, uninstall the mod. And, while I hate the phrase, don't yuck someone else's yum.

I'm currently learning how to mod this game through referencing the files and file structure of Lustful Void, so huge thanks to Lithia and everyone who's contributed to that mod for creating a great resource to build off of.
