Thanks for the mod! Such a question: I am not good at programming ... Is it possible to attach more than one image to the event? Make an owl-like random. When specifying the path to the image, add some kind of character or something else? And if possible, what size should the image be when translated into DDS?

I don't think so. What would be possible is to have 3 identical events with different artwork, and then randomizing which event gets called. So the same effect could be accomplished.

Thanks for updating the Mod!

 

Just one question, since I'm thinking to use the "All Female" Trait for the first time:

So basically I buy a disadvantage (-10% Growth Speed) without any points (+/- 0), which may become an advantage later on, if I get male pops to become part of my empire? Is that why I don't get any points for taking the disadvantage?

It's like that mainly for the flavor. The "advantage-for-not-getting-an-advantage" is that zero-point traits don't cost *anything*. They don't cost trait points to pick up, because it's a cost of zero, and they also don't cost a trait *pick*. With the costs of many of the traits in the mod, it's actually beneficial that it's not a -1 because then it'd eat a trait pick and you'd have one fewer option available (which could otherwise be used for e.g. a -2 trait)

 

Considering the scads of +pop growth available here, it's really a non issue.

Can anyone confirm the 0.4.6 Neuter Purge events are working? In the previous patch, when I set all other races to Population Control, I got spammed almost non-stop, but in this version I haven't seen it trigger even once. Tried tinkering with the Disable setting, no change.

[Kitzune]

Can someone say me if the description for overly sexualized is having some effects, because it is highlighted? xD? It reads "they pacifically claim a part of the world if they are very outnumbered", or is it only flavor?

Is there a way to make Hive species benefit from the trade value gained from Sex markets and Brothels?  While intra-empire trade makes little sense for a hive species it would be useful for it to have an impact on trade with other empires at least.

I am using your very excellent loading screen (ALL).  I was wondering if it is possible to delete a couple of pictures on my end, or to swap some out with others?  I see all the DDS files, just not sure if the mod is going to expect pic 101, for example, and then crash if it isn't there.  I'm willing to test it out, but perhaps if this is known can save me some potential issues.

 

thanks.

 

personalami must get more patrons after this mod.

On 0.4.6 here, and I think there's a bug with the Escort job. I've got one basic Brothel on the planet, and three pop units are in an endless cycle of kicking each other out of the Escort job and into Unemployment. Pop A kicks out Pop B, who sits on the street curb for a day before charging back inside to kick out Pop C, who then spends a day outside before stomping into the Brothel to kick out Pop A again.

 

They're all the same race, all suited to the job. And there are other jobs available (at Worker level, not Specialist). But they insist on -this- job.

 

(meanwhile all the patrons are sitting around, drinking beer, passing around popcorn, and just enjoying the show )

Ah, I looked around in the code and found it's been changed. Instead of triggering for pops that have been set to "Population Control", the event only triggers if pops are being actively Purged.

 

I'm not sure of the logic of this. If pops are being Purged, they're already going away. Reproduction isn't really an issue if you're being forced to leave the planet or being violently hunted down. Gettin' Laid takes a back seat to Not Gettin' Killed. The way it was made more sense, if the only restriction you're under is "don't breed", then you start looking for workarounds. The old event was just way too spammy (both in how often it fired and not being able to shut it up).

Well looking at the events themselves it's less about same species reproduction and more about turning the pops that are being purged into disposable "baby ovens". You get your own pops in exchange for the pops being purged. So it actually makes more sense that this triggers from the purge rather than pop controls. Since pop controls stabilize the amount of those pops it never really made sense for it to be triggered by pop controls and wind up losing the pops from the species you are trying to keep at a certain level....

Wrong mod, that's from the mod SSX, And no it's not only flavour, the species population will not fall below a certain percentage of the planet's total population, If the population percentage is or gets to low it triggers an event, but if it's your primary species that has the trait you may never see the event.

I downloaded the Lustful Void folder, put it in Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod, extracted it but I can't find it to enable in the launcher's mod list.

Any ideas?

Have you tried manually creating the mod via the mod tools in the launcher? Also did you try deleting or moving the .zip?

I tried manually making the mod via mod tools — it shows up, now, but I went in game and can't seem to find any new traits or anything when I am making a new race. :s so I figure it didn't really work

Can you post a screen of what the inside of your Lustful Void mod folder looks like? are all the files present?

You may also need to clean up your mods folder. I had an outdated/incompatible mod in my folder that would make the launcher hang up and only load mods up until that one. After deleting the old stuff LV showed back up in my mods and worked fine. The new launcher is atrocious.

This is a problem with paradoxes launcher itself, it's buggy as hell, Your best option is to use an alternative mod manager for the game I would suggest this one. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/tool-paradoxos-mod-manager.1001303/

Guys,How often do you have those events? i don't know,maybe i make something wrong,but those events are very rare to me

 

[darkestdragon]

the zoo one is very frequent when you build the alien zoo on a planet, tentacles on is frequent till you do one of the option or remove the tile blocker i'm unsure. slime always happen near the begin of each of my play through and grave the sex toy scientist also come up as well

[meatstroke]

Is anyone else having the new Megacorps building Branch Offices on their planets as an AI? I've had a Commercial Pact with the lewd megacorp for nearly a decade in-game and I haven't had a single Branch Office built anywhere yet.

You can only build a zoo on planets that have the Isolated Valley feature.

Thanks Guys. I really appreciate your help

[bobwoodword]

Pretty awesome but some quick questions: 

 

1. Seems like some of the traits (not the 0 ones) don't translate from the species start to the main game. Ex: Exhibitionism

 

2. Can the AI utilize this? Seems like things could get broken pretty quick. 

[Sybian]

Is there a mod that will allow me to build branch offices on my own world??

[bobwoodword]

Oh and just FYI for those who struggle make sure you aren't putting mods in the steam file and make your you take out the image and the content files from the single file when you unpack them. If you just unpack them they will not show up. What you should get is a file with two files in it after you extract, you need to take both of those out and delete the file they were in for it to show up.
