Description:

Want to be able to build an ecumenopolis but can’t because you’re a hive mind? Yeah me too.

This mod allows hive minds to take an ascension perk to build ecumenopolises just like every other normal country.

To give the hive mind ecumenopolises more utility I added one additional district type called the Synapse Junction. It operates similarly to the leisure district.

I also changed the civilian factory district:
Hive minds will have a new district in replacement which provides 10 agri-drone jobs for more food production. Given hives only have a need for food and some buildings operate off of food for upkeep, I deemed this was an appropriate replacement, though probably not perfectly balanced.

Is the mod balanced? Nah probably not. I don’t expect hive minds were supposed to have this ability since they have hive worlds anyways. But hey I wanted the ability to do this so here we are.

Machines can build Ecumenopolises

I had to change the vanilla file:
01_arcology_districts

I tried to not alter any vanilla files, but I hit a wall where I couldn’t really do it without this one. There will likely be compatibility issues with other mods that rework arcology districts in this case.

Think it’s neat? Hit that thumbs up. Favorite it if you really like it.

This project was mostly done for myself, but hey why not let others use it too?
Feel free to report bugs and I will look into them as I can <3
