Mycelium Engineering
Update 18.03.23: updated to work with 3.7 version
"I believe that mycelium is the neurological network of nature. Interlacing mosaics of mycelium infuse habitats with information-sharing membranes.
These membranes are aware, react to change, and collectively have the long-term health of the host environment in mind.
The mycelium stays in constant molecular communication with its environment, devising diverse enzymatic and chemical responses to complex challenges."
– Paul Stamets
Your species have shared their evolution with an continent spanning non-sapient fungus species. During recent times a new field of science has emerged, mycelium engineering.
With basis in genetic alteration this new innovation will unlock the secrets of the fungus and bring both species together in symbiosis.
This mod offers an unique start for your species. The origin or civic allows building a Neural Node building on your planets that grows a planetwide mycelium web. It also has limited cloning ability.
There also a lot unique techs locked to the origin or civic and a ascension perk.
To make it more unique no AI empire will select it.
A lot of time has gone into balancing the content.
Below is a list that shows the content:
– Start with Neural Node on your Capital planet
– The Node provides Amenities and a small amount of organic pop assembly
– Starts with Fungi symbiosis trait
– Fungus Defense Grid: Unlocks defensive Fungus strucure
– Spore Terraforming: Faster terraforming using gene-altered spores
– Fungus Growth Pattern: Cheaper removal of hazardous areas
– Spore Golems: Mindless organic servants
– Unlock the secrets of the Mycelium dimension.
– Opens new unique advances
– Decreases Empire size penalty
– Spore Hub Drive: Jump drive using the Dimensional Mycelila Network
– Spore Golem interface: new trait for Spore Golems
– Neural Node upgrade: allows upgrade of Node building
Please let me know if you find any bugs or any other issues.
This mod is 100% compatible with other mods
