Prime Collective Crisis - Pandora's Star

Description
Compatible with version v3.14.x
Mod version v1.0.12





Based on Peter F. Hamilton's Pandora's Star - Book one of the Commonwealth Saga.

Made by a fan for fans, who will probably hate me for all the inaccuracies and purposeful changes to better fit Stellaris. This is just the first step of many planned, if I can get people to help, especially writers who know the books well.

For non-fans, I hope you can still enjoy a regular Stellaris game with a new End-Game Crisis and an event chain leading up to it.

Tips:
- The event chain leading up to the Crisis starts shortly after the mid-game date. You can choose to start the Crisis whenever you want after that, or wait for the end-game date. It will be harder to contain if you start much earlier.
- The Crisis will have all the Player's techs when it triggers.
- You can play as the Crisis when it starts (if on MP, only the host).
- Check the Prime Collective's Origin and Civic for background story about the Primes (contains spoilers)

Factors that influence Crisis Strength: Game Difficulty, Galaxy Size, Setup Crisis Strength (careful here), Technology and Tradition Cost, Year it triggers.
You can check precise values for all these in the game.log file after the Crisis starts.

Warning: This mod contains spoilers for Peter F. Hamilton's The Commonwealth Saga's first book Pandora's Star.

Note: find the Easter egg used to prepare Part 2 of this mod, Judas Unchained, book two of The Commonwealth Saga.



Compatible with multiplayer only if all use it, since it changes the Checksum.

Requires a new game once you add the mod.

WILL DISABLE ACHIEVEMENTS!

Required DLCs:
- Nemesis is required for the Crisis to progress correctly.

Should be compatible with most mods, except total conversions, but since it changes so many vanilla files, place it at the end of the Playlist to make sure all files are correct. Compatibility with many mods will have to be checked on a mod by mod basis.

Please report any bugs on our Discord Server[discord.gg] in the #commonwealth-saga channel under the Smaller Projects heading.


These are all safe to use with this and any other mod if you follow instructions in Compatibility.

Unsupported sub-mod: Russian Translation

Mod needs an update to show the stargazer portrait that paradox released with season 9 pass.

Just adding:

has_stargazer_dlc = {
optimize_memory
host_has_dlc = "Stargazer Species Portrait"
}

Below the rick the cube one in 00_scripted_triggers would fix it.

@M4A1: that's a shame, but I can't make compatibility versions for every mod out there, especially since I'm not playing Stellaris or actively modding atm. Sorry

@Schishne: not sure what you mean, sorry. Contact me on Discord and I'll try to help

Unfortunately when used with Real Space, the Dyson Barriers are not sized correctly, instead containing just the main star rather than the whole system.

This also mean the Dark Fortress is now a miniature barrier just floating on the edge of the system.

Mod is still playable, just a graphical issue, so it's not a priority but it would be nice to see it fixed. :)

This doesnt seem to be selectable so, will it appear with the original crisis I select?

Updated to 3.14 - no changes

Updated to 3.13 - no changes (and no more wrong version warning)

@Asage Foi: probably. I still have big plans for this, but am on a modding hiatus.

Harain! Thank you! I played a couple playthroughs as a Morning Light Mountain last year. The Commonwealth Series is my favorite Sci-Fi series! Is there any way to make an origin based on it and possibly add some gigas from gigastructures?

@RPK]Krachboomman how did you fix it, having a same issue. i uninstalled but idk if its another mod conflict or some lingering code or something.
