Osiris’s Namelists for Stellaris
I know the last thing you want is another modder asking you for money, so I won’t ask for that. But if you appreciate the creativity and countless hours of work I’ve put into this and my other mods, please consider supporting my aspirations as a speculative fiction author. Visit "Spec Arabesque", my speculative fiction Substack site, where you can read the first part of any story I publish for free, or enroll in a paid subscription to read and comment on all the content available now and in the future. Rest assured, I put the same love and attention into my creative writing as I do my mods. See for yourself:
If speculative fiction isn’t your thing, I also have a Substack about my favorite NFL team, the Cleveland Browns:

If you’d like to request a new namelist for the mod, please download the namelist template here, upload it to Google docs, make it shareable(anyone with the link) and DM me the link:
Namelist Template[github.com].
While I used to fulfill namelist requests without asking this of the requester before, I no longer have time to do that. Requests will only be fulfilled if the CSV file is filled out and sent or linked to me via Google docs. They will only be run through my translation algorithm by request.
This mod and translations were created with tool I created in Python. It’s publicly available and free to use and can be found here:
