Species portrait volume control [Infernals]
My ears hurt. This sort of helps.
Basically instead of rebalancing the individual sound effects, I just changed all of them to the "Voice" sound category. That is "Advisor volume" in settings. Ironically enough plantoids already have that by default.
And yeah could have done that before with the "Effects volume" knob, but hell nah, I wanna hear my clickity clicks.
Anyway this is not a particularly good solution, but it seems to work well enough. Tho do mind that I basically just blindly edited some files so it is very plausible I messed something up.
