Simple Micro and AI Improvements
This mod contains:
– greater goods edict
(an edict which allows automigration of unemployed pops towards free job planets) is unlocked by joining the galactic community – no resolution required
– habitats can only be built above mining/research stations. This prevents habitat spam, while improving the AIs economy, because only habitats with special districts can be built. Also it leaves room for the AI to build megastructures like ringworlds, dyson spheres and matter compressors.
– Ascension perks for the AI have been adjusted. The AI can no longer pick perks it has no use for. Also in order to start the synthetic path only the droid tech is needed (before it was the synthetic tech, turning this into the rarest path seen). With this the AI going full ascension or getting galactic wonders is way more common.
– For the galactic wonders perk no fully upgraded megastructure is needed anymore. The megastructure tech is sufficient. No more infinite waiting with free perk slot until the conditions are met. Also the AI can choose it way more often. The AI fills the perk slots as soon they become unlocked. Without this mod all slots would be always filled by the time the AI mets the conditions for this perk, causing it to never be able to build this megastrucures.
– Tweaked war in heaven to increase the chance for the AI to join the awakened fallen empires instead of the league of non-aligned powers. Because nothing is more terrifying for a player than worldpeace. It simply is no fun if the galaxy is a single fed 100 years before the victory timer runs out.
– The Khan now spawns more ships. The AI will still be able to beat him, but now he should be able to expand a bit more before this happens.
– Reduced vassal spam. The AI should no longer offer to become someones subject at free will (unless the power discrepancy and benefits the AI gets from it are absolutely massive).
– in order to improve late game performance the AI is prohibited from building hyper relays. However the payer can build them.
– Factory capital designation is disabled for now as some AI tended to screw themselves up with it. They picked it in year 1, resulting in being stuck without alloy production.
This mod is a good addition to mods, which improve the AI or UI.
All the changes this mod introduces work independent from each other. So for example if you dont like the build regulations for habitats you can just delete the habitat file in the mod and everything else still works.
