@jimbibby, This game mod was last updated for 2.8, so I'm not sure why you would ask that. It's been one of the most update durable mods of all time.

You can now find an updated and integrated version of the story in the independently-maintained 'Forgotten Empires' compilation by Inny78 !

Can we still get a version of this that works in earlier Betas? I usually play 2.6 or 2.8...

Still working fine in 3.9

@greensniperhat what a godsend you are on both this mod and nyblax for the solution.

So you took the other mod offline (that had a fixed relic image) yet still have not updated this to fix that issue or update it at all in over 3 years?
@LegitGamer1017 yes this still works, but the relics image is still using the outdated format and thus has a big white square around it.

I want to know too. Am cleaning up my modlist to ensure compatiblity.

Anybody know if its still working fine in 3.8?

Could you update this mod to fix the Relic image in the Relics and Minor Artifiacts viewer UI?

@Orion Anima -- Thanks for letting me know!

I'm pretty sure someone stole a ton of your work for their mod.

quick fix for gfx assets:
go to interface/ziaskehorn.gfx
replace every mention of gfx/FX/buttonstate.lua with gfx/FX/buttonstate.shader

if you save directly into the steam workshop files, it will get rewritten again, so make a new patch mod of your own.

@ranma100,
Yeah same issue with relic pictures as the Nyblax and Collectors pack. They changed a way certain elements are displayed in 3.6 and I wish I could fix it myself.

This works OK in 3.6.1 except the picture of the relic seems corrupted.

Still working fine in 3.5.

thank you glad to see this still works one of my favorites

The mod should still work, but is not a priority item to get updated, sorry. There'll be more story content in the future, with an update to this story included.

Is this mod ever going to updated to current patch?

The mod seems to be workin fine in 3.3

Please update your mods, the launcher swears a lot and the game crashes when I load your mods. Please, can you fix your mod, the mod does not want to work correctly in the new version 3.2.

Please, is it possible to fix your mod, the mod does not want to work correctly in the new version 3.2

I think it still works, its only a story. No new features or so

update, plz！

please update

up！！！

Seems to be working fine in 3.03

@HôL kNöçK3r -- The mod should still work properly, the only thing not updated is the supported game version number.

Can any1 tell me if this mod still functions properly. If it does i just wana change descriptor file so i can get the red icon outta the way otherwise its dustbin

@randy -- Good to know, thanks!

Can't tell if it works as intended yet - but at least it doesn't crash the game in 3.0.1

@Sjru -- It's on the back-burner for now, until Origins Extended's updated is done, but will probably be updated afterwards (just a version change to calm the launcher down). I'm not planning on adding more content or really fixing bugs for the mod at this point, but am definitely working on an updated version as part of a larger stories pack.

Will this be udpated?

A larger digsites storypack sounds cool. This digsite isn't bad or anything, I guess my expectations were just a bit high because of the 5 star rating, the nearly 15k subscribers, and the sleek cover image and then the general's dying caught me completely off guard too.

And respect for taking the message I wrote in anger so well. Sorry if I was a little passive aggressive.

@Dragatus -- True, and I agree. I must admit that this is not my best work, and I do have plans to rework this story in the future, as part of a larger digsites storypack. Thanks for your feedback!

A warning that the relic kills your generals when the active effect wears off would've been welcome. I suppose it is thematically appropriate, but I was still rather bitter when it happened. I was also disappointed by how short the story was and how little it explained the origin of the Fires.

Finished the arch. site, and, it's amazing! Very interesting story, with a very flavour-ish artifact!

Congrats!

Just a warning for those updating to a new version - there's an issue with the new Stellaris mod manager (it might have been also with the old one too) where it doesn't load mods properly the first time after it has been updated. To get around this, have a lot of backup saves and be sure to restart the game at least once (as in load it up twice in a row, quitting to desktop). I had to go about some serious save hacking to restore the Ziaskehorn archeological site as well as other mods. Might be OS-specific.

That's my answer to @Quentopolis comment "game doesn't think it has been updated sometimes". It's a general issue I hope will be solved by Paradox in the near future so I don't have to meticulously check all the modifiers from various mods and so on are still there every time I load up the game.

@Do'tasarr o Khajiit  - Not necessarily no, though it does have a relatively low chance of spawning each time you survey a molten world, but because they are quite common, it tends to pop-up rather early, therefore, closely to your starting location.

Is it intended that every game I find the excavation site near my main cluster? Some times even inside the starting cluster

Thank you for the work you do on this mod. Note that this seems to be a problem with Stellaris launcher. I had deleted all mod files from C:\Users\User\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod, then relaunched Steam and now it shows your mod as up to date. I'm not sure why Paradox does not include some kind of mod version verification functionality...

@Eksorium - Yes it has! Everything should run smoothly, let me know otherwise. Apparently the game doesn't think it has been updated sometimes (shows the red version warning), I've been looking into a fix.

Was this updated to 2.7?

Found a way to fix it.

Thank you I'll use it well

@rawester2 - Try restarting the game and making sure the mod is enabled in the launcher. Restarting Steam (fully, not just closing the window) and unsubscribing + resubscribing may also work, if the problem persists try restarting your computer. From my tests the mod still installs correctly, might be a steam/network issue. Let me know if the problem persists! :)

For some reason, this mod refuses to install even when there is no mod installed. I have all the DLC, so I have no idea why this mod will not install.

Very well done, didnt even realise it was added by a mod lol.

@Snowcraft - Sure! I'm currently working on another story mod that will include a few digsites (some in a continuous story, some independent), I'm aiming to release it this summer and will start pushing out test builds at the end of the month.

You mentioned back in August that you're working on more dig sites for the future. Any chance we could learn how close to playing with them we are?

Thanks for interesting archeology chain and relic!
