[Stellaris]Mod Request - Unlocked Synths

[Tyrranus]

So, aside from the laziness of the new dlc having no ships/cities for synths there was one huge(for me) annoyance... forcing everyone to use a synth equivalent to a hive mind.

I get it from the dev and "lore" perspectives but, as argued here https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/allow-machine-races-to-use-other-government-types.1045127/, there are several ways to look at unlocking them from that paradigm.

 

I really expected this to have been a thing already done by modders by now but Ive yet to see it so I'm asking for it.

 

Perhaps the great and powerful and awesome and beautiful Nessa can work some magic here?

180 views and no comments?? What too much ass kissing?

[Nessa]

Not enough kissing.

 

OK, to do this, you'd need to...... I think edit the species_classes file to allow machines to use something other than auth_machine_intelligence. That should open up machines to other authority types.

 

But I'm not up to speed on how that interacts with the events, traits, etc. I -think- traits would still work without editing. But there's probably something else that might need changing so it doesn't bork everything up.

 

I'm not really into bots so I'm kind of the wrong person to ask here. (Though we do have some bots planned for the future.) Unless there's something I'm not aware of making this impossible (could be), there probably will be a mod that does this at some point.

 

If anybody else knows more, chime in please. I'm really just a ship/station maker at the moment. Haven't done much scripting lately.

yeah I have nfc about modding stellaris, hence requesting it. Thx for the info tho I'll try to think up more ass kissing next time

[Tyrranus]

really disappointed this has still not been done by a modder somewhere

Disappointment is a great motivator. It's how I got into modding! ^^ Maybe you could try it too? Who knows, you may end up creating the mod you're looking for!

Ive tried modding older paradox titles... always managed to fuck shit up lol.

 

Im just not a coder

 

edit:

well thats partially true, used to be able to pull off incredibly minor tweaks to the xml files
