Performance and Compatibility

Torus Ring Corrected 2.6 Integration – Species with the Natural Engineer trait can now start with a Torus Aeternal at the end of the Invasion chain. Must have said installed for the option to appear.
– Every effort has been made to ensure this mod effects performance as little as possible. The vast majority of events are triggered on a yearly pulse, and many other events are triggered via decisions or other events firing.
– No Vanilla files are touched at all, but mods that alter Origin functioning or deposits may conflict?

Known Bugs & Issues

Known Bugs & Issues (Thanks to everyone whos reporting them in the comments!)
– Taskforce Xeno HQ does not allow allow creation of new assault or defense armies
– Need for improvement in event writing and various grammer / spelling errors

Visual Assets
