Hmm.. any advice on how to start playing with this mod? Should i go for specific origins or can i go play as normal?

Most of the strongest features are either completely locked off from the AI or they're just statistically unlikely to pick them. The mod in general is insanely overpowered (the balance mod is EXACTLY as bad, it makes no meaningful changes to anything that is broken), so you probably want the difficulty set higher in general. If you pick the strong options then vanilla difficulty doesn't go nearly high enough for AI empires to ever compete.

 

Tentacle origin basically gives you 3+ ringworlds (they're more like ecumnopoli, but they come with researchers. They also come with food and minerals, natch, and no upkeep for most of these jobs as well) with ~400% all jobs resource production and a pop growth speed that goes into the thousands. It also gives up to 150% all research bonus, and gives you a massive tech lead at the start of the game. Extremely casual play, you'll overshoot advanced AI empires on grand admiral somewhere around year 12-18 (as in, be victory rank 6) and you'll overshoot fallen empires around year 38-50.

 

If you're just asking because you want to see content, then a lot of the content is locked off for xenophobe empires. You don't get completely locked out if you play xenophobe/spiritualist, but you do still have access to less. You have to colonize planets because a lot of events are tied to blockers/deposits, and those blockers/deposits also are required for some research. There is very little actual content, though.

Is Tentacle Symbiosis a technology? I'm playing a xenophobe+Fanatic Militarist empire but would like to colonize tentacle planets. I've tried entering research_technology tech_lv_tentacle_symbiosis and the game responded, but in the colonize checklist it's still written off; any idea?

Xenophobes can't unlock symbiosis unless they're spiritualists. Yes, it's retarded and there's no reason for it, but that is how it is.

You can just check the society technology in the files (and change it there).

Got it, thank you for the explanation.

 

I can play Spiritualist + any other combination and i will be fine right? Asking cause I kinda like playing Spiritualist empires but i am perfectly fine playing without spiritualist.

You can play anything with this mod. The same restrictions apply, Genocidals will still be hard to play. Though there are a few things you can do to alleviate the diplomatic penalties of being xenophobic.

I would say Spiritualist empires are the easiest to play, in fact.  The concubines that replace whores are really strong.  Fast unity, fast trade value.

 

One overpowered start you could put together if you want to all-in on LV:
Tentacle Origin:  Spiritualist, fanatic Pacifist, and pick Divine Coupling as one of your civics.  Traits:  All Female, Intercompatible Womb, Sex-Crazed, and stack as much Sex Jobs +%% as you can.  Your homeworld will have a Decision to do a Tentacle Festival; do it right at the start and choose Offspring when the event fires.  And pick up the Breeding Tradition either first or second so you can get the Breeding AP.  The goal is massive pop growth, minimum empire size from pops (fanatic pacifists can 0 it once you find the techs).

 

Sexopolis and Pleasure Ring can both do a similar, all-in-on-sex-traits build.  They just lack the tentacle festival that lets you use Intercompatible Womb and All Female bonuses from day one.  Other origins (including base game) still work, just slower (you don't start with all the sex jobs)--and don't pick the Sex-Crazed trait.

Huh, so that's how the "Intercompatible womb" is being used interesting.

 

Thank you for the information.

 

I have one more question because this is confusing me, I unlocked the Milking tradition but i have not seen the "Cow Clinics" building even after having the Gene Tailoring tech, do i need to unlock something else too?

Ummm... I haven't seen it either, now that you mention it.  I can't find any "Cow Clinic" in the building files, either.  It might have been broken on the merge into LV, so it had to be removed until it could be fixed.  If it could be fixed.  Maybe someone with more familiarity than two hours of poking through files at near-random could answer you better, though.

[lemmegetuh...some....uh...]

I'm fairly sure Cow Clinics is the name for the tier 2 upgrade to the Dairy Farm buildable. Either that, or the Corporate version you can build in branch offices.

Several people have reported that they can't find them. IIRC they are actually a passive upgrade.

Do some features require DLC or are they not usable anymore? 

What am i talking about are;

- Buildings such as orgy center, porn studio, bdsm dungeon, escort center, rape service

- Some events ragarding to tentacles, i did not get them despite i played as tentacle-world. (are they mostly festival-decision stuff?)

- also other events, such as consensual purge, sex crazed, gang rape, nuclear sex etc. 

- also "aphrodisiac spring" stuff, "concubine bonus" and "addictive/aphrodisiac cum" trait

i saw them in the files, but i did not see them in the game

the mod was very good, i appreciate. i played as "male-only+dominant+huge-cock+sadist" species and made other (most of) empires as "female-only+submissive+masochist+many other lewd" traits, so it fed me with a lot of images every time i conquered planets. i would've love to see some stuff like "fuckfest decision" with new images

Sorry if i did bother, i could not find answer of it here

Those buildings are branch offices for sexy megacorps, not normal buildings.  You need to be a megacorp (which is dependent on the Megacorp DLC) and have specific sex-related civics to build them.

 

The events have preconditions to trigger, but they do work.  Tentacle events aren't particularly common, mostly you just encounter events where a new "blocker" of tentacles migrates to a world.  The special tentacle events are restricted to the Tentacle World origin and the tentacle-festival decision.  The others require the relevant traits and usually have a random roll on a monthly/yearly chance.  You might get unlucky and never see them.

 

Some of the traits are considered "advanced" traits and you will not see them without researching the relevant technologies.  While some of these traits are selectable at empire creation, many of them are not.  Additionally there are some that require special events to trigger before they will be added to your species.

That said, not everything in the files is actually implemented in game.  There are a few pieces that are still works in progress, and others that have been merged in from earlier mods that haven't been properly integrated.  There's a lot of cool stuff to see in the files, and if you see something you want to mess around with then go for it.  If it works, let Lithia and the team know and they may consider it for integration.

Is LV abandoned

 

It's not, but don't expect an update until the end of 2025. Stellaris 4.0 will be released in May and will bring tons of changes. Considering Lithia works on the CKIII mod, it will take a while to release an update for LV.

How can I infest other planets and convert them into tentacle worlds?

[Holyllow]

Can I play as pure tentacle nation? Not tentacle symbiosis or something like that but pure tentacles?

 I don't think that is an option, you have to terraform the planet.

I don't think you can play the tentacles. You could pick a portrait like that and pretend but I don't think that is waht you are looking for.

[krappaclub]

I found a bug. Not gamebreaking but the tentacle world start>tentacle festival cannot give fizzy milk and aphrodisiac milk trait. The fix is done by swapping the "if" contents.

You could choose tentacle symbiosis origin, then open the console to give yourself extra food at the start, then use the tentacle festival until all your non-tentacle pops are gone.  It wouldn't make the tentacles your founder species, though.
