When Banks was released, I was thrilled with the addition of the Civics system. However, I felt it was lacking in a few vital areas; namely Spiritualism and Hive Minds. There were a lot of niches I felt needed to be filled. So here is my attempt at sharing my ideas with you guys.

This mod overrides nothing at the moment.
Some building-related civics have been disabled for reworking. I have also disabled the Theosis civic.
The Gene Purity civic icon and the template I used to make all my custom icons came from /u/roblitzmanguy on Reddit. Also, thanks to my pals Synesi and Jude for putting up with playtesting for me.
