I don't think I've ever done this before but... I was looking at my todo list and...

I want to let you guys decide who gets it this time. So throw your hats into the ring in the comments bellow. I'll add some extra details in the spoiler bellow so you guys know what you're voting on.

Orek - Just old artwork that needs a bit of love and polish

Incubator - Kind of tame, she needs to be dialed up to 11. Needs more extreme cumflation, pregnancy, multipregnancy with fetuses from multiple species at the same time variants

Reptilian - Needs a partial overhaul. Face is good, but I want to make her look buff. Give her a six pack and shoulder muscles.

Bee - Princess version is fine, but the Queen needs to be more chubby. I want to make her a bit shorter too.

Parasite - Needs and complete overhaul. Just embrace the original concept and go full face hugger

Mushroom - I intentionally don't want every single species in the galaxy to be a bombshell hottie. Mushroom is the certified ugly character, but maybe they deserve a slight glowup

Horn - Old art that just needs a bit of polish. Face and chest looks good, but her lower half could use some love.

 

Big time lurker here, but I'm voting for the Incubator while I patiently wait for someone to breath life into lewd Gestalt Machine Empire playthroughs.

Speaking of which, and as an artist I'm not sure how much you get this but, I really like your writing.  It's a nice mix of humorous and horny with enough actual plot to keep me invested.  The perfect mix in my opinion.

That said, I just wish I knew what to tweak in order to get your custom empires to work with Ethics and Civics Classic without either having to start a whole civic and 2 Ethics points behind in order to keep the events or the empires (Green Court I know for sure) just not appearing selectable at all.

I'd love to see what you do with the facehuggers! I am absolutely not sure how you can mace facehugging sexy, but I am all for it.

XD damn... Yeh, Stable Celeste playthroughs aren't evergreen content. One or two runs, and that's about it, but I get ya. My new Interhuman system is way more dynamic and fun.  Unfortunately I not a big into gynoids, so I can't be of any help. My massive todo list ain't got nothing instore for machine empires, soz.

Actually, no. I've always been shooting in the dark when it comes my erotic writing. I've had no idea if any of my shit is any good, especially my Visual Novel. I wouldn't say I've been dying of curiosity, but yeh... I'm just gonna start talking out loud, so I'm gonna continue this thought into the spoiler bellow...

Spoiler

Romantic Novels are such a female dominated space and I've always been kinda jealous of what they have. Now, to be fair, I do think they go WAY OVER BOARD with the setup and edging before you finally get a totally mild payoff to each chapter. BUT! I still often feel like I want more from my Doujinshi reading than just a bare minimum meet and fuck. Which is why Stellaris has been able to enrapture my attention for so long. After I released my VN, that was like my way of testing the water before I increased my coding acumen enough to start making event style content for my mod. Fast forward to today... (Ignoring the fact that I'm terrible at proof reading and publish broken sentences like a retard.) I'm personally secretly proud of Stable Celest's(Actually, I think I owe her a bit of proof reading). Despite their brevity, I try to pack them in as densely as possible with purposeful words. I don't like disrespecting the audience time, while simultaneously having a million things I want to include. Having a thesaurus is cool and all, but coming of with colorful metaphors is where the real meat is at imo. Fennigan's introductory event, when she's with her creator, is some of my fav.

Disable the mod, load the game, save the missing empires as a custom empire(this will still keep the unique content flags intact for them), load the mod, then correct any errors that the mod is prevent them from being playable for.

[dnl001]

Thank you for the update!

 

Really awkward timing though, because I just found out that there's a portrait between the doom girls and the larionessi, the kothalo, that is not appearing in the portrait tabs when enabled/moved

 

Also, Paragon Azaryn seems to be missing Portrait 3, and Cyborgs/Necroid Robots have portrait 1, 2, and 3 identical to 7, 8, and 9

 

As for the vote, Incubators!

Calc is in his chubby/pregnancy era, and I'm all there for it.

Not entirely sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the genetic modification appearance menu?

BRUH lolololol. FUCKING speaking of...

I know I post the full 1080p versions of events and my other erotic artwork to my NewGrounds account, but kinda like how I was afraid that it wouldn't be kosher to post the parthenogenetic zoophilia event set to that website, I've also elected not to post a "birthing" artwork thing I made. So I'm gonna share it in the spoiler bellow for my mega fans, here, instead.

Spoiler

The NG followers ain't my homies. I bet those guys don't even know that this mod even exists. fr fr no cap. If you're reading this that means youse a real one.

(((But lowkey, what in the fuck did you just draw Cal?))) IDK, man don't think too much about it. I know I didn't

[singlepurpose]

I vote reptilian; muscle for the win.

 

The molten human species is my favorite by far. idk why but it just hits different. It helps that there are way more portraits for it than the others so the leaders don't all look the same. My art style isn't too different from yours; I'd like to make a futa variant of them for my own use but I don't know how to mod.

 

I like the idea of hybrid pops, but I'm not sure how to get the hybrid molten portraits to work. Not sure if I'm just missing something, but I don't get them even when the event pops up. Also I'll note that the molten/cow hybridization event specifically talks about domination by males, even if neither species currently has any males.

 

Also interspecies seeder/breeder makes my species tab explode with dozens of single-pop species variants and renders the whole thing unusable pretty quickly. It'd be great if there was a way to make just one or two kinds of hybrid from each pairing, for performance and also so I can gene mod out all the negative traits they pick up. TBH the species viewer needs an overhaul in general, but that's way outside the scope of this mod.

 

It would be great if we could use the portrait picker to apply the hybrid portraits manually; Stellaris only allows appearance modding within the species class and the hybrids are their own separate class.

No, I mean that I was fooling around with the portrait sets and there should be the babe_kothalo portrait between the highlighted portraits

Incubator, woo \o/
Very nice mod, very nice to see each and every update it gets~.

Oh, if you feel like you're up for it... I wouldn't mind sending you the raw art asset file. Just shoot me a DM if you're interested and I'll let you take a crack at it.

Really hard to say. I know that if I use cheats to spawn pops, then I can get any combo to work. I'll try and find time to double check, but... Until then, I recommend just making sure you delete my mod, then download it again. Sometimes there are files from older buggier version of my mod floating around on peoples systems that cause issues.

At the end of the day there are just way too many variables to juggle. The Interhuman event sets was like... the most writing I've ever done for the mod before, and doing alternate versions that check for monogendered traits, or futa, or whatever is just too much. You know? Plus I would have to code for all the different combinations and possibilities.

That's just an issue with the vanilla game. I personally disable Xeno-Compatibility sytem AND I also disable LV's hybridization system for the exact reasons you listed. Sorry.

WELL you know... using gene modding to get access to the hybrid portrait assets is kinda like cheating isn't it? lolol. Awww... But I get it, all the best hybrids are molten hybrids, and they all like to go extinct. Darn. However, it is possible to remove their infertility trait before they completely die off. It's not an easy talk to pull off, but it's possible. Not to mention, intended gameplay i had in mind.

AH-HA! kk. I see. So since you seem like you know what you're doing... If fucked up and have a typo inside of "0b_portrait_sets.txt". Basically, instead of "babe_khotalo" it should say "babe_kohtalo". BTW, all of the "#"species are ones I don't recommend to be playable, but I'm not gonna stop the tech savvy among you. So I do find it a little funny that I'm getting a bug report on what is essentially datamined content, but whatever. LOL I'll have it fixed whenever I push out my next patch.

If it's a race to make the hybrids genetically viable then I feel there should be a little reward or a hint or nudge at that possibility. Because to be honest the thought didn't even cross me Thought that might just be a me problem.

 

If the the hybrids become vible then can we at least have an reward that prevents the other species from declining and risking extintion.

Hello, guy who pointed out the lack of bunnies here -- Still thankful about that btw, very nice stuff indeed -- I'm here to cast my vote for the Reptilians.

I already enjoy their design a good bit, especially when you can change the boobs (customization! yeah!), but a bit more of an Amazonian look would just be absolutely wonderful to see lol. Might bump em up a few notches on my personal teirlist that I definitely have and is not in any way just a passing thought, for sure.

[Calcifire]

Hey I just wanted to mention that someone made Futa Molten chicks. If that's your thing, then go check it out. I think they did a pretty good job. Y'all know I can't futa for shit, so enjoy:: singlepurpose's futa pack

[True Mind]

Hello! The shadow smiler portraits of 4 to 6 seem to be not working. I looked around in the file and cant tell why. Just using the previously selected portrait or not showing up at all in the planetary view. Redownloaded the mod a few times and it didnt fix it, they were working previously.

 

EDIT: I dont know modding so might be dumb but the 0b_portraits_shadow.txt lists a shadow_female_4, shadow_female_5, shadow_female_6. But in the folder with the portraits themselves (gfx\models\portraits\shadow) these are not there. Oh and this is the directors cut version. I've never done bug reporting before so sorry if being dumb

I cast my vote for Incubator. More cumflation/pregnancy content is always good.

[dnl001]

Was testing singlepurpose's mod and found another incorrectly assigned portrait!

 

I uplifted Long Arm lithoids and they had the purged portraits, despite only being slaves; a quick test showed that they kept the purged portrait even when free

 

 

[mowaz]

Hey was testing the alternate look seem like the bellow is coded in the reverse. Where the Zombie turn up when without the zombie trait, and the opposite when in reverse. Might be just a me thing but wanted to bring this to light.

UNDEAD:: species takes; necrophage or zombie traits

So.... Stellaris 4.0 has been announced...

How are we feeling about the new Pop system that's in the works?

Might be fine? Won't be able to see as many different portraits at a time anymore, I suppose. The LV jobs on a player's perspective won't change too much, but on the developers end? I have a feeling mod updates are going to be delayed for a lil bit once 4.0 drops lol

[pleasedontbetaken2]

Why do so many species traits disable each other? Why can't I have long tongues and natural anal lube? or prolapsed vaginas and hypersensitive nipples? Why?

I'm mostly just hurt because of how much work I'm going to have to do. Like, holy shit! Makes me want to cease all development until it comes out. For example, they talked about leader trait changes in a way that implies Fennigan won't work anymore. Like, her whole story progression mechanic is just gonna disappear and I'm gonna have to replace it with a timer instead. But anyway, back to the meat of your question... It sounds like it will be a good change to the game, even if we loose some cool features. I don't put a lot of weight on that WiP picture they showed of, but it seems like we won't have randomized pop appearance anymore. Which sucks, cause I do enjoy see a diversity of outfits and skin/hair colors on my pops.

Because of the AI. I have to find a middle ground between customizability and the npc empires going fucking insane with all of the options. computers have no respect for roleplay, so i have to handicap the system to stop 'em. I get people yelling at me from both ends of the issue, don't worry. I've decided long ago to just put the flag down right in the middle of the debate and walk away.

[pleasedontbetaken2]

All my leaders are male, even my ruler which i selected female for gets replace by a random male, I believe it's being caused by this mod or it's related mods, please help

Also this is happening for all my empires, not just this one, I just chose it bc us humans have very noticeable sexual dimorphism
