Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Splits and Schisms

[www.patreon.com]







1.0 (12/08/2021): Release



Vanilla Ideology Expanded is a mini-series of mods aimed at expanding the content in ideology - be it memes, relics and symbols or icons alike.

The goal of this mod is to add a new mechanic to make ideologies a bit more of a gameplay affecting challenge, as well as introduce a new form of threat that needs to be countered by the player once the colony is big enough.

Ideologies, while docile and strong in small societies, often tend to divide larger societies. The more people there is, the more ideologies differ. This mod introduces an Ideological Schism, which is an event in which a new ideology emerges in some percent of your colonists. In a way, the new ideology is very much similar to what the base ideology is, except for one or two different memes.

This will result in a player having two unique ideologies in one colony, both struggling to become dominant. Once one of the two ideologies completely vanishes, a new schism can occur.

A: Can I add it mid-playthrough to an existing save?
A: Yes, of course.

Q: I don’t like the way something is done. Can I adjust it?

Q: Where should this mod be placed in the mod load order queue?
A: Anywhere under Ideology.

Q: Is it compatible with other mods that add revolutions, splits etc?
A: Should be, but in case of any issues, let me know.

Q: Does this work without Ideology?
A: Yes, instead of splitting an ideology it splits your graphics card.
