Description:

Version 3.8.*

Ever want the benefits or role-play flavor of Xeno-Compatibility, but struggle with the performance drawbacks? Tired of sub species failing to generate properly, resulting in 100s of unique new species you can’t genemod with the rest of their kind? Then this mod is for you!

This mod primarily does two things:

• Replaces the the Xeno-Compatibility perk with one that doesn’t rely on hybrid pops.
• Offers similar perks for Hive Minds and Machine Empires with access to xeno-pops.

The first feature will ONLY activate if you turn the "Xeno-Compatibility" setting OFF during galaxy generation. The Gestalt variants will always work, but require access to Gene-Tailoring for Hive Minds and Binary Motivators for Machine Empires, as well as access to xeno-pops. The AI can use these perks, and even has weights to favor genetic/cybernetic ascended empires and assimilatiors.

• Xeno-Compatibility: Replaces hybrid pops with +1 trait points & trait picks while retaining the immigration bonus of +33%. As the pop growth effect and trait bonuses are always on, the pop growth bonus is reduced to 10%.
• Xeno-Integration: Grants +1 trait point & trait pick, in addition to +10% pop growth and assembly.
• Biomechanical Innovation: Grants +1 trait point and +2 trait picks for machines, in addition to +10% pop assembly. This places them on a similar level of flexibility with positive and negative traits as an ascended hybrid organic empire when combined with Synthetic Age.

Xeno-Compatibility requires the Megacorp DLC, Xeno-Integration requires the Utopia DLC, and Biomechanical Innovation requires the Synthetic Dawn DLC.
This mod should be compatible with all other mods as it does not change any vanilla files.

The variant of Xeno-Compatibility this mod creates does not increase your compatibility with the Composer of Strands. This was done to improve compatibility with others mods.
This mod has a compatibility issue with saying compatibility too many times.
