Trace Rooms
A mod to add a few dozen emprie rooms focusing on useful RP and vanilla artstyle.

– There are ~50 manually done rooms, ranging from dark spiritualist, to cities, to hives, to a pack of rooms I first made for a multiplayer game.
– Unlocks the pre-FTL and specialist rooms for empire setup.
– Notably there’s a different graphic for ‘medieval’ and ‘victorian’ rooms that fit post-FTL a bit better and contrast real pre-FTL empires.
– Mod is trimmed to prevent art style clash and gets graphic updates occasionally.
Notes:
The base game includes far more selectable rooms than it did in 2017, but this mod still fills various niches and unlocks a few vanilla rooms.
Rooms are partly ‘window’ type and partly ‘background’. Window rooms are like the vanilla, where you can see the planet behind, while background rooms take up the whole room portrait space.
I’ve removed or improved the worst ones so that only rooms worth using stay in.
No localisation needed to work: Room names are under the hood. Russians and Chinese rejoice.
Should be compatible with everything, rooms are added to menus, they don’t replace base files.

Paradox and their artists. Edited by me, GIMP and Photoshop used.
I used a few bits of art I sourced when I first made the mod as an unprofessional teenager, contact me if you want credit, I happily will.
