Ansible Techs + Arcologies (From Ursula K. LeGuin)
Stellaris lacks one of the most iconic Sci-Fi elements seen in galaxy-spanning stories: the ansible, a tool for infinite-range instantaneous communication first coined by prolific writer Ursula K LeGuin.
This mod adds new techs all branching from Ansible Theory all with custom art, and it adds a new type of ecumenopolis called a centrapolis which replaces production arcologies with arcologies that provide new jobs that give empire-wide benefits and becomes a must-have in any sprawling empire.
The mod is currently only available in English (translators welcome).
No DLC requirements.
Zero base game files harmed (Should be compatible with all other mods)
NOT achievement compatible (Only UI mods that don’t change features can be)
