Biophage

Biophage Hive Civic and Tech

Infest the Galaxy!

The idea for this mod is to allow hives to go full necroid/reanimator playstyle, hive flavoured

Sporting a horror army directly spawned from enemy corpses and converting biomass into more drones

Also some more biological oriented tech unlocks and buffs that are expensive to research and rare to roll but easier to get with each biology research unlocked

V2 uncoupled from other mods

Compatible to Forgotten Queens and Planetary Diversity

!!IMPORTANT LOAD AFTER FORGOTTEN QUEENS!!
