Stellaris version checker
Determines Stellaris version in-game. Sets appropriate global flag for mods to use. Work in progress. Currently checks whether the game is >= 2.7 or <= 2.6.
Current global flags:
vchecker_2_7_and_up
vchecker_2_6_and_down
Flags available two days after the game start.
Useful if you want to solve Stellaris version compatibility issues or implement mod features differently for each game version.
Mods using vchecker functionality:
- Void Dwellers Expanded – brings back Habitat Arcology decisions and proper habitat model swap (which needed change in 2.7+), making the mod backwards compatible with old 2.6*.

It looks for version-specific trigger/modifier/effect configuration. See almost complete list here: https://github.com/OldEnt/stellaris-triggers-modifiers-effects-list
Fires automatically at start. If you wish to re-evaluate version run the following:
remove_global_flag = vchecker_version_checked
event vchecker.1 (this is a ‘global’ country event, fire for all)
Global flag in a 2.6 save:
Global flag in the same save, but on 2.7 after re-evaluation:
Run vchecker.100 for pop-up with game version shown.
