is the mod compatible with the 2.5.1?

I haven't seen any noticeable problems except some missing lines (like one choice in one events not having a proper "translation"), but I think those were there before the last few patches anyway.

Edit: Just found the quick fix that invalidates my last post. Please ignore.

First of all I just wanna say that this is an incredible mod and I pretty much can't play the game without now it considering how many new traits and features it adds.

 

However there's one major issue that already plagues the base game, and this mod makes it worse: mid/late-game lag from pops and jobs.

 

As most stellaris players already know, one of the biggest sources of lag in the game is the fact that the default pop/job calculation is straight up broken. This gets even worse once AIs unlock the xeno-compatibility and biological ascension perks, as the game spams new hybrids and pops all over the place, which really slows things down.

 

One solution people have found is to disable those two ascension perks. Obviously this mod is really dependent on those perks, but unfortunately some of us may have to disable them  (for the AI at least) just to make the game playable again.

For anyone who wants to try this, go to the lv_ascension_perks.txt file in the ascension_perks folder in the mod's files. Any time you see this line:

 

Quote

     ai_weight = {
        factor = 1

 

Change the factor to 0:

 

Quote

    ai_weight = {
        factor = 0

 

Do it for every instance of "factor" to disable both this mod's version of xeno-compatibility, and the game's original one.

 

This will disable the perks for the AI, but let the player use them. I also recommend using this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1801814489  to disable the bio ascension perk (gene modding) for the AI. This might sound OP, but it may be necessary to cut a large chunk of the lag you inevitably get from the game constantly trying to evaluate pops for each available job EVERY DAY (why paradox???)

 

I'll test this out soon to confirm it works.

Oh and if you're taking suggestions for new traits, could you maybe add some new ones related to lips? (both kinds of course  )

There's also that mod which limits the number of subspecies, because the AI goes full retard with those ascension perks.

 

Honestly, how badly optimized can your game be that even a meme-tier 2000$ PC can't handle a single session for more than 300 years on a 400-size map?

ok ive got a problem im a fanatic xenophile empire with the xeno-compatibility perk, i have 5 different species in my empire but still after 50 years they dont interbreed. Do you know why?

What's the policy on crediting sources here? I've created some potential event pictures, but many of them I don't remember the source / artist for. I edited the colors for all of them to make them fit more with the Stellaris color theme which is rather blue and green for the most part. I also did some further edits on some of them, like removing speech bubbles from comics by use of content-aware-fill for instance.

 

Artist: Xxoom

Artist: Don't remember

Artist: Not sure, but I assume it's the same as the one above

Artist: Ferres

Edits done: Edited away some dude to the right. Edit looks fairly obvious now that I look closer at it. Damn!

Artist: Eroquis, or Butcha-U or whatever he calls himself now.

Artist: Not sure

Artist: Don't remember

Artist: Feather

Edits done: Removed partially visible robot dude to the left

Artist: Don't remember

Artist: Don't remember

Artist: No idea

Artist: Don't remember

Artist: Don't remember.

(Also, I left the artist watermark in. I don't want to edit away someone's signature unless it's outside the frame. I also can't tell what the watermark says... 'TadoVanTor'?)

Artist: Afraid I don't remember, but this is a fairly popular image, so I assume someone will correct me here

Artist: Jacky / Aerial Rave

Artist: Another popular image I don't remember the artist of. Please correct me here.

Edits done: Removed the planks from the rope bridge. They could instead pass as cables.

Artist: Surprise! I don't remember this one either!

Artist: Ferres

Artist: No clue, sorry

Edits done: Turned two people into aliens, and content-awared two other people away since I was too lazy to turn them into aliens as well.

Artist: Ferres

Artist: Ferres.

Edits done: Content awared away a speech bubble

Artist: Jacky / Aerial Rave

Edits done: Content awared + painted away the title of the comic (Seraphic Gate, I think)

Artist: Ferres

Edits done: Content awared away SFX

Artist: Ferres

Edits done: Content-awared some speech bubbles

Artist: Don't remember

Artist: Don't remember.

 

Hope I'm not breaching any rules here.

There is a specific channel on the discord for submitting found art for use, so things should be put there.

Getting an error that's possibly causing the game to stutter.  Still kinda early game.

[trigger.cpp:363]: Script Error, Checking trigger against an unsupported scope!
Event: lv_neuter_purge_event.1
Location:  file: events/lv_neuter_purge_event.txt line: 21
Trigger Type: has_country_flag
Scope:type=planet
id=172
random={ 0 3370118276 }
from={
    type=none
    id=0
    random={ 0 2667054218 }
}

 

Looking at "lv_neuter_purge_event.txt" it's:

NOT = { has_country_flag = recent_neuter_purge_cosensual_event }

 

Edit:

 

Removing the 8 offending country operations (4 triggers and 4 immediant) fixes the planet_event but I'm still getting stuttering.  Back to the log files...

Mod still working great for the most part in 2.5.1, except it seems Brood Parasites are broken. The game only registers their +pop growth but doesn't seem to effect other species unless they are your main species.

 

Edit: It seems that the trait only works on species in servitude? Working as intended? I maybe missed a patch note? Is there any way to allow Brood Parasites to mate with all your other species without them being the main species?

Basically nice art... nevertheless I really would love to see women enjoying the sex.

I know it's everyone has their own tastes, but it seems like most artwork that might fit for stellaris is about rape, which is a bit sad for me (still not judging, my friends )

Good point. I kind of feel like an asshole for not including any like that now. Though a big part of the issue was my criteria. I want mainly images that look realistic / as close to the Stellaris artstyle as overly possible. Also, no censored images, and they'd have to fit and balance well in the frame given. These were the best I found from my saved folders.

Sorry I couldn't find any. If you have any yourself, I could look into modifying them into event pictures (at least in this mod's frame sizes. Vanilla frames would be a lot trickier)

 

And I'm not that familiar with using Discord, so the whole thing just confuses me right now. Didn't find a suggestion folder either.

No offense! You did a really great job at seaching for high quality pictures and altering them to fit the Stellaris-mood!

I realize that it is very very hard top get artwork with tastefully depicted sexy women; even more so if you want to add Stellaris compatibility.

True. Even with my extensive collection of weirdness these were the only ones that made the cut. Most people who play Stellaris does it aggressively, or so I think. It would fit the mod well if we had some more consensual xenophiliac fun to add into the mix though.

[HighTide]

Maybe more Egalitarian/Xenophile options about the appreciation and conversation between species causing inter-xeno households
I definitely am a fan of the idea of some Mass Effect style relationships

[Mirrond]

No idea why, but whatever I do with my load order and stuff, literally every LV civic save for that two added last (divine coupling and something else, sex crazed breeders was it?) is just... gone. This includes things like hive mind and robot civics. Any ideas what kind of mod can suddenly purge them from your game? 

[EvilCloneofUnskilled]

For some reason, none of the traits are showing up for me

Calm was pretty much the gold mine for that kind of stuff, but the author already grabbed most of their best stuff. considering one of my empires is Morathi's pleasure cults from warhammer fantasy, i'd love some more consensual or even women raping men artwork.

[WarTurtleofAkatosh]

So there seems to be an issue with the most recent Elves of Stellaris update and the patch you provide. When the patch is enabled the Elf and Drow traits (now forced traits when picking elf or drow portraits) cease to exist in game, i guess since they're tied to the base mod portraits now.

[tipoima]

When I first saw this, I definitely didn't expect there to be SO MUCH content. This is gotta be one of my top mods in general now. 

[zelayasrevenge301]

Wait what changed in the latest update? I don't see any new files or version numbers in the mod's page.

Was just fixing an error with the voice actor's credit, nothing new mechanics wise.

 

...That said, there should be a bunch of new stuff soon(tm), including some VERY nice artwork for some of the buildings.

Very very nice!! Looking forward to the next update!

The traits that effect dairy jobs still don't increase the output of those jobs. Is there any fix for this?

[Sybian]

So the only building I have is the milk farms. I have the civic that allows for additional concubines but I've yet to see them, looking at the pictures I seem to be not getting a lot of content. Is there some issue or load order I have that is messing with the mod maybe?

 

Thanks! Also love this, it's the only reason I'm playing stellaris again.
