Thanks for the response i was able to edit the files myself.

due to "more important things to do" I`m not going to work on my stellaris mods any time soon. you should be easily able to update these yourselves, as it really only should be a different version number.
Anyone who wants to improve on my mods, incorporate them into theirs or simply reupload them has my blessing and is free to do so.

not sure if i am conflicting with other mods but this and the other one doesnt seem to work. Awesome mod btw

just looking at the mod but i had a thought this would make expansion for Swarm/Exterminator/Xenophobe more overpowered as they have a % reduction in influence thus this would be a buff for them but a simple solution would be to half their bonuses.
Just a thought tho

Amazing !!! That's what I looked like since a long time for Stellaris !
Can you make a version with really higher cost in minerals and energy, with energy and mineral upkeep ?
I always thought that, it costs really a lot to expend an "empire"... so ... :D

Thanks a lot, I'll look into it soon!

"AND please let me know how to add more influence to newly FTL-advanced civs, to really give them a little boost at start. Much appreciated!"

check the on_action file, there's an entry for when primitives become space-faring, just add a simple country_event and add it to the on_actions. Just make a new custom-named on_action file with your single entry in it, no need to copy/overwrite the vanilla file.
