More Civics in Ethics and Civics Rebuild

****ATTENTION****

Hi everyone. This mod will remain up for everyone who decides to stay with 2.1 Niven. I will unfortunately not be updating this to 2.2 Le Guin since I will be going on to other things. With that said, I appreciate everyone's support and am thankful for everyone who subscribed to my mod! My mod added a lot of flavour to Petruxa's mod, so if Petruxa you are there, or any other person wishes to take my mod and update it for 2.2 Le Guin please feel free to do so. I had a lot of civic ideas I added to this mod and tried to balance it all out as best as possible. Hopefully you will have fun continuing this mod in 2.2 Le Guin and beyond. Thanks everyone.

Lord_Poncho57 is currently working on a mod to update this mod for 2.2 Le Guin. Please check it out:

Hi everyone. I feel like I have maxed out all the goodness that I could pump into this mod. I enjoyed working with Petruxa's idea and really expanded on it. I am officially "retiring" from creating new content for this mod. I will probably just try to update the mod as new patches for Stellaris come out, or if there are some game-breaking bugs that come up if I can. Anyway, for anyone who wishes to take the mantle and create your own version of my mod, I encourage you to do so now. It has been fun everyone. My baby is yours.

If you would like to try to create a tradition-less version of my mod, Kyera posted a guide on how to do it. Thanks Kyera. You can access the guide here:

***** Attention everyone. xnadu27 is making a big mod that incorporates my civics mod as well as civics for others. It is quite a massive task. I am working with him on it, and we could use your help! Please take a look at what he has planned and if you're interested, please contact him. Since the mod is so large, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please check out ThugQueen69's version of this mod which has no traditions on it. He was nice enough to make a spin off mod to only have the vanilla traditions, so you can use mods like Plentiful Traditions, Expanded Traditions and Tons of Traditions. Please check out his no tradition version of my mod here:

Using Core Game Mechanics: Buildings mod? Check out my compatibility patch. This will give some of my civics the ability to reduce some of the construction costs and allow CGM: Building's advanced AI to build the buildings from my mod such as Thermal Boreholes and Luxury Resorts!

This mod is a spin off of Petruxa's Cultural Overhaul or Ethics Rebuild mod. I give all credit to Petruxa for making one of the best mods of Stellaris. It really enhances Stellaris in so many ways.

This mod is modified, and as you can see in the screen shot Petruxa said anyone can take the mod and put up a modified version of it. He mentioned before that he doesn't have as much time anymore for modding so in the near future, he'd want someone to maintain his mod.

So what I did was re-added many of the civics from vanilla Stellaris, as well as reintroduced some civics from former versions of Ethics Rebuild back into the game. I also changed Hive Minds and Machine Intelligence civics and their authorities to be balanced with the civics and ethics that normal empires get.

I felt there needed to be more civics in general because as you advance and get more slots for civics, there are very few good choices. I also like Role Playing, so having many more civics to flesh out your empire is very useful.

You may take this mod and modify it and do whatever with it and make it one of the best mods in Stellaris. Then post it and show the world the best that can be done in modding. Please also give credits to Petruxa who started this mod, and if you base your mod off my version of Petruxa's mod, this one, I humbly ask for an honorable mention :)

This mod can be taken down at any time if the original author doesn't want it here.

The files that were edited from the original Cultural Overhaul mod are:
00_civics.txt
00_authorities.txt
00_ethics.txt
All pop_faction_type files
Species_rights.txt
00_campaigns.txt
00_edicts.txt
00_governments.txt
ethic_rebuild_governments.txt
ethic_rebuild_deposits.txt
ethic_rebuild_buildings.txt
00_discovery.txt
The first two files contain all the changes and code for the new civics and the authorities for Hives/Machines.
Also the english localisation files courtesy of ThugQueen69.

The default path I think, I may be wrong, to access the mod and edit it is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\1329351538

Oh and if you post a new version of this mod online, mention it here and if I see it I will link to it in the description so many other people can try it out.

Thanks and credits to ThugQueen69 for writing descriptions for the civics that were in prior version of Ethics Rebuild! Also thanks and credits to ThugQueen69 for making a no tradition version of this mod as well. Thanks to Kyera for some localisations in the guide.
