Overview

I wanted to tweak several planetary modifiers to provide more flavorful and useful bonuses.

The C.A.R.E Interactive Interface is an economic optimization engine, so I wanted it to give a bonus to trade value
The Extensive Moon System modifier adds mining districts and output… to gas giants which can’t be colonized, so I changed it to give a bonus to mining stations (but not research stations) that also applies to any unhabitable moons, and moved the bonus mineral jobs production and mining districts onto any/all habitable moons
The Resource Consolidation origin goes through all the trouble of shrinking gas giants and converting them to molten worlds tagged with the "Chthonian Planet" modifier but then a game start event clears all modifiers, so I wanted to stop blanket deleting planetary modifiers in starting systems
Allow multiple planetary modifiers to spawn on any given planet, as suggested by the majority of the planetary modifier spawn code (which weights some higher or lower in the presence of other planetary modifiers)
Convert all the "mineral richness" related modifiers to provide bonuses to the miner job category (rather than only minerals production) and mining station output, similar to the changes for #2

Compatibility

This mod should be fairly compatible with other mods. Incompatibilities would likely occur if other mods also overwrite or add same the planetary or static modifier IDs. If another mod is attempting to specify the same modifiers: first in wins for static modifiers, but last in wins for planetary modifiers. This mod overwrites 8 different static modifiers and 23 planetary modifiers.

This mod also overrides a game setup event game_setup.2. I find it unlikely other mods would be changing this event (it clears planetary modifiers for home systems); in any case first in wins for events.

Built for Stellaris version 3.8 "Gemini." Not compatible with achievements. Largely compatible with Guilli’s Planet Modifiers and Features – Guilli’s static modifier changes will take precedence but there are no error-causing conflicts. Also has built-in compatibility with Planetary Diversity.

When to Install

This mod can be safely added to your save after the game has started, but not removed. If this mod is not active at game start, you will miss out of the Extensive Moon System (Moon) modifier being applied to the moons of gas giants with Extensive Moon System and minerals being added to some planets with modifiers but no deposits. Removing this mod will result in unknown planetary modifiers – which Stellaris may or may not handle gracefully.

Known Issues

Overriding static modifiers and preempting events cause the game to log errors, so expect to see twenty-four (!) lines in the error.log file similar to:
