PsiTech

PsiTech adds new, late game content in the form of powerful psychic abilities. Train your colonists in the use of psychic abilities and turn them into psions. Customize your colonists in new ways using psionics.

PsiTech includes a wide range of passive and active psychic abilities giving an array customization options for your colonists. These abilities range from simple psychic enhancements, granting a variety of bonuses, to active abilities capable of healing others, to the powerful Psi Storm, capable of driving masses of enemies insane. With 46 total abilities included, PsiTech gives many options for customizing your psions.

Beware though, researching psychic abilities might draw the attention of darker forces, powerful psionic cabals who turn their wrath to any who might threaten their psychic dominion.


Q: Do I need Royalty to play this mod?
A: No, Royalty is not required for PsiTech.

Q: Is this mod related to Royalty?
A: PsiTech has no relation to Royalty. It's a completely custom implementation of psionics that's independent of Royalty and quite different from a design standpoint.

Q: Does this mod integrate with Royalty?
A: By default there is extremely limited integration between PsiTech any Royalty. If you want integration between them, consider the Royalty-PsiTech Merger submod, which destructively integrates the two psionics systems.

Q: Is this mod save game compatible?
A: Generally yes. You will need Faction Discovery for the psionic faction to appear but everything else should work fine.

Q: Is there a non-Steam download?
A: Please see the Ludeon forums post[ludeon.com].

Q: Is there somewhere I can go to get help with PsiTech?
A: Try the K's Mods Discord[discord.gg].

Q: Is this mod compatible with CE?
A: Yes! CE includes patches for PsiTech in their main download.

Q: How do I start using psionics?
A: Please refer to the PsiTech Quick Guide[i.imgur.com].

Q: How do I use the autocast system?
A: Please refer to the PsiTech Autocasting Guide[i.imgur.com].

Q: Does PsiTech support my language?
A: The main download only supports English. Check below to see if there's a translation sub-mod for your language.

Q: Can I disable raids by the psionic faction?
A: Yes, you can. There's an option for this.

Q: The essence penalty is too high/low!
A: The essence penalty can be changed in the options menu.

Q: Why isn't the Psi tab showing up for my alien race?
A: Some alien races don't get the Psi tab by default. Try enabling "Patch All Races" in the settings and restarting the game.

Q: Is there a debug mode to instantly add psionics?
A: Yes. To enable the PsiTech debug mode, enable dev mode, open the tweak values menu (the second button from the left on the top of the screen in dev mode) and enable the tweak value "!PsiTechDebug". Debug options for PsiTech will appear in relevant places with the tweak value enabled.

Q: There's an autocast condition/target selector/option that I would like that isn't implemented.
A: If there's some customization that you find missing in the autocast system, please leave a comment and I'll try to implement your request.
