What is this?
This is a Project, where by the Stellaris Reforge Team (SRT), wish to undertake with the support of the community and Authors / Developers of excellent Mods, that we wish to unify all or one of the best Mods out there to work together. With an end goal of creating a structure of Plug and Play without causing issues. A kin a to a Universal Patch type. Using this Mod as a Backbone. Where they can feed into it.

This Mod however will have other Submods that SRT will have that includes our own customization and tweaks. However this will be done in the last phases of the Project.

Our initial goal or first milestone is to combine all the Mods together to see how they work and get the core backbone working. The next step is to then strip it down, whereby with a series balance and compatibility patches we will connect with the major mods accessing their asset files as separate entities where by the players / users can just subscribe to that and use this as its Core "Code" Mod. Alternatively if they allow us to use their assets and code and include it we do not mind and we will maintain it.

We do not intend to take away Credit from other Modders nor do we intend to steal any work. For now this is just proof of concept.

We give full Credit to all the Original Authors of the Mods, if an AUTHOR finds their MODIFICATION and WORK has been impacted by the inclusion of it within this Project, please contact us so we can work out an arrangement. If an arrangement cannot be made we are more than happy to remove it from the the Project. And possibly at a later stage make a balancing Patch. Please take note that as we progress in the Development cycle of the Project we will ask the respective mod authors whose mods we intend to work on for that "phase" will be ask for permission before publishing. Which will be displayed on here or the discussion board.

It is also to be noted due to the size of this Mod, that a lot of VANILLA files Will be replaced therefore other Modifications not included in this WILL be INCOMPATIBLE.

Current Compatibility Patches

• Compatibility Patch for Guilli’s Planet Modifiers

Built in Compatibility: – These Mods are Compatible with Union Project and do not need direct intergration, if you use them or wish to use them please feel free to subscribe them.

• Immersive Galaxy – Planet Variety – by Dwaine

Current Incompatibility – IMPORTANT!!!

• UI Overhaul 1080p Plus – Including any similar Mods will not work with Union currently. We will eventually come down to making a compatibility patch for it. For now a quick work around is to Disable the Mod on start, Create your species, after which you can enable the UI Mod, then start the game with your selected species. – Big ups to rulerofdabacon for helping us find this incompatibility

Timeline

• We aim to complete this Mod before the next Major Update. But it will take some time. 🙂
