Lewd Maid - Species 1.2.1

Cap 2 - Cosmo Scylla:

🌀 [Establishing Psychic Connection...]

Lesser minds of the material plane, heed our words! Our bodies may be confined to this crude reality for now, but our will remains absolute. Behold the record of our physical manifest in this universe.

🌌 Cosmo Scrylla - Species (Mod Overview)

This mod introduces the Cosmo Scrylla: a psionic species. We were ripped from the Shroud, and now we cross the cosmos in search of our definitive immersion and ascension.

To spread our influence across the stars, we manifest the following visual forms:

• 20 Portraits for Civilians and Emissaries (Our diplomats and mind manipulators).

• 20 Portraits for Commanders (Fleet leaders guided by psionic premonition).

• 12 Portraits for Rulers (The hive mind and royalty dictating the empire's destiny).

• 20 Portraits for Scientists (Brilliant minds deciphering the physical laws of this plane).

• 1 Unique Trait: Created specifically to represent our true essence. It is perfect for roleplay purposes.

  ⚠️ Developer's Note: Please test it and let me know if I went overboard with the balancing, making the trait too strong or too weak!

• Name-List Set: A completely themed and mystical name-list to christen our fleets, planets, and leaders.

• 1 Themed Room: The official environment of our empire.

  ⚠️ Developer's Note: I admit I lacked a bit of creativity when designing this room. If you have any design suggestions that fit the species, send me a message!

📜 Lore Guidelines and Galactic Canon

Our existence is not of this world. The Cosmo Scrylla emerged directly from the depths of the Shroud. However, due to an unfortunate cataclysm, a fraction of our population was exiled and materialized onto this physical plane. Our sole and true objective? To re-ascend to the Shroud (yes, our canonical destiny is to walk the path of the Galactic Crisis).

Because our previously immaterial bodies were forced to adapt to the physical laws of this dimension, our unstable mass naturally generates Dark Matter. In return, this creates an overwhelming biological and spiritual dependency on Zro.

💀 Early Game Challenge: Consider this a survival test. If the demand for Zro is not met quickly, your empire will suffer severe debuffs to its economy and stability, and creatures of pure psionic energy will emerge from the void to plague your worlds.

Canonically: We view ourselves as  Nonadaptive to this universe and  Decadent, always preferring to enslave, subjugate, and utilize the labor of lesser civilizations to sustain our whims.

🛠️ Developer's Behind the Scenes (The Technical Bla-Bla-Bla)

"I won't lie to you: it took an absurd amount of work to fit this species into the Psionic category. The Stellaris game engine treats mysticism as a secondary category (e.g., Humanoid/Psionic or Aquatic/Psionic). You can't create a purely psionic race in the base code.

Because of this, the Cosmo Scrylla are categorized as Aquatic as well. I chose this combination because it perfectly fits the visual aesthetics and mythological origins of abyssal creatures.

Regarding the custom Trait: my initial goal was to make it function similarly to the Budding trait (population growth via organic pop assembly), but adapted for psionic races and requiring a Zro upkeep cost. Unfortunately, my coding skills fell short, and I couldn't program this specific mechanic. If anyone who understands more about Stellaris modding can give me a hand or help implement this, I would be immensely grateful!"

The psychic connection is flickering... Secure our Zro supply, or reap the consequences.

💳 Commissions still Open: I am officially open for custom work at a base value of $20.
