Shroud Colossus
This mod adds something that "Shadows of the Shroud" should have already provided: a colossus weapon that makes shrouded worlds.
Introducing the Vortex Caster, a new Colossus weapon technology that produces shrouded worlds. Mechanically similar to the World Cracker, using it on habitable planets has a chance of producing a zro deposit of various sizes.
Conditions for obtaining the technology vary by DLC, but should require Psionic Ascension with Utopia, and requires Aura Intensification with Shadows of the Shroud. The component itself has a zro cost and upkeep.
To-do:
- Figure out scripting to make zro deposit chance and size depend on sapient and/or psionic pops on planet, instead of just habitability status. (Please leave comment with code snippet if you know a good way to do this.)
- Fix the weapon component icon, which somehow keeps coming out red-to-pink no matter what it looks like when being edited in GIMP. Fixed, an inevitable reference misplaced at last minute.
- Event/opinion effect pass, for slightly more unique effects.
- Potentially make a dangerous tech, because violently poking holes in reality should probably be at least as bad for the universe as Jump Drives.
Special thanks to the three sources of scripting code I copied, mutilated, checked against, and ultimately cobbled this together out of:
- Sparble’s Null Void Colossus
- OldEnt’s Shroud Conduit[github.com]
- Stellaris dev-team.
