##~~TECHNICAL INFORMATION~~##
##########################

~~Being a "Total Conversion", OMEGA lacks compatibility with almost all other mods, support for select high value mods may be added in the future.

~~"Dynamic UI Overhaul" can be used with a compatibility package, found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3324280256

~~Every mechanic has extensive ingame Tooltips, refer to them if something is unclear, otherwise write a Comment.

~~With many tedious Micro-Mechanics excised and performance improved, you may want to the game to run faster than "Fastest", Stellaris is speed capped by your FPS, I recommend between 90-120 FPS for a modern CPU if you want your game to run faster than a speeding Hedgehog but slower than an overheating Fusion Core.

~~Disable the autosave feature if major lagspikes occur at the beginning of the year.

-Usage Notes:
~~Resource Stockpiles provide a logistics rating based on volume, growth optimized economies should maintain sizeable amounts of non-spent resources.
~~Influence Income is dependent on the Total Amount of Stockpiled "Unity", spend less "Unity" if you dont have enough influence.
~~Spawning with the income of a resource being negative can happen due to starting systems being somewhat randomized, to increase production focus for the missing resource, use the button at the very bottom of the slider on the left of your screen and use the linked menu.

#####################
