The Galactic Community in Vanilla is a neat concept, but suffers from lacking in content. This mod aims to rectify that by adding a number of new resolution trees, as well as tier six resolutions.

What this mod changes:
The Vanilla bug breaking Right to Work's assembly speed modifier is fixed.
Vanilla bug where Gestalts could not research Zro distillation even after passing Extradimensional Experimentation is fixed.
Formerly edited several vanilla defines to make the Galactic Community faster. These have been moved to a separate mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2312203163.

Features from other mods incorporated into this one:
This mod incorporates the tier six Greater Good, Industrial Development, Ecological Protection, Galactic Studies, Mutual Defense, Rules of War, and Galactic Commerce resolutions, and the tier 4 sanctions resolutions from MrArcaneGates Galactic Community++, found here:

What this mod adds:
A tier six Divinity of Life resolution: Crusade Against the Heretic.
4 New Ethics-Themed Resolution categories: Stratified Society (authoritarian), Galactic Diplomacy (xenophile), Enforced Sovereignty (xenophobe) and From Many, One (gestalt). Each of these resolution categories has six tiers.
A new edict: We Know Our Place (for rogue servitors) that makes bio-trophies have an empire-wide effect
A new casus belli: "Unequal Treaties" unlocked by the megacorp-themed resolution tree, that allows megacorps to force other empires into their ethics, seize any available branch offices, and change their authority to oligarchic with the merchant guilds civic (unlike Vanilla impose ideology, which turns them into a megacorp, AKA, competition).
A new Casus Belli: Crusade, unlocked by the Crusade Against the Heretic resolution, allowing for total war between spiritualist and machine/synthetic empires as well as the imposition of spiritualism on non-spiritualist empires, strengthening the fervor of both the Crusader and the Crusaded, if the crusade is successful.
Galactic Population Controls: Adds a new resolution to completely stop population growth in the Galactic Community. Designed to fight endgame lag; the AI should never vote for it unless it has the environmentalist civic.
Invisible Hand: A Megacorp themed resolution tree designed to make branch offices and trade value competitive with regular jobs as a source of resources.
Galactic History: A set of two resolutions designed to make the discovery portion of the game last longer and provide a source of minor artifacts when the Rubricator doesn't show up.


Planned future updates: Adding new edicts, planetary decisions, and maybe policies to the new resolution trees.

Compatibility: This mod overwrites 00_resolution_categories and 00_resolutions, and is therefore not compatible with other mods that do the same, including Galactic Community++. It is, however, compatible with Ethic-Based Resolutions by Cattan, as you can see in the thumbnail. Also overwrites 00_other_jobs and the refinery, factory, forge, and basic worker colony designations, as well as the extradimensional experimentation and project cornucopia decisions, the advanced research lab building, and the starbase buildings and modules affected by the unchained knowledge tree (but not the files these are contained in). Based on my testing, it is savegame compatible.

As of 12/2/2020, overwrites the Greater than Ourselves resolution. If you use a mod that makes this available from game start or otherwise through some non-GC mechanism, please put that mod AFTER this one in the load order.
