TEST UPDATE for 3.10.2: Please give feedback!

UPDATED for 3.3.2: Finally, I had to change the code because of a Stellaris update! I would appreciate some testing feedback.

UPDATED FOR 3.0.1: Just a version number change. This mod will probably always be compatible with new Stellaris versions.

UPDATE FOR 2.8.1: Again, only a version number changed required. Was already compatible with Necroids, since they are a species class rather than an archetype.

UPDATE FOR 2.7.1: Simply changed the version number, should be compatible with all future Stellaris updates unless they change something signifcant with traits. Also added compatibilty for empires that are non-gestalt robots (thanks KiTarn)

UPDATE FOR 2.5: Added 4 traits that increase lifespan by +150, +500, +900 and infinite. All cost 1 trait point. Meant for roleplay rather than balance. Look for the golden icons.

This small mod adds 3 special species traits that are only selectable during empire creation. These traits add +2, +4, and +6 trait points respectively. Use them to create powerful, pre-set empires as a challenge in your game, or you can use them for your own empire. These traits can not be added once the game has started.

- Precursor : 6 more trait points.
- Ancient : 4 more trait points.
- Advanced : 2 more trait points.

These traits are selectable for biological, machine and lithoid species. They will not appear for randomly-generated empires; they can only be used in the empire creation screen.

Includes custom icons, which are not great, not bad, just OK. If anyone wants to make new ones, please contact me. Languages are in English, French, Polish and German (thanks to itachiaurion for the French translation, Remy525 for the Polish translation, and [H.L.] SpongeBob for the German translation). If anyone would like to provide a translation for their language, please get in touch - I will be happy to add it.
