Probably as this patches various files to work with the ethics changes made by ECA Redux. I've not looked at bug branch code to see if it would have no-name issues with mods not patched for changes made to ethics by the E&C mod family.

Anyone know if this is still needed with FunEFork's ECA? Been using BugBranch for the past two updates and it doesnt have the No Names bug.

So, uh, recently (5 mins prior to typing) discovered Extra Fallen Empires stuff shows up broken in-game if you don't use Extra Fallen Empires. Either treat EFE as a hard requirement or delete the EFE file from the mod once you have it - just be aware steam will add the file back every time I update the mod or you verify files.

looks like I potentially need to patch extra stuff in ACoT, but you have a broken install according to that log.

I suggest following: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding#Troubleshooting_mod_installation

if you still have the issues with the fallen empires let me know since that will confirm I need to look at what else acot needs patching.

This seems extremely weird. like there is an initializer for Extra Fallen Empires in there even though it's not loaded.

sbtg comes before overrides, defines should be last in that order. Upload your error log with just those mods somewhere like pastebin.

load order is:
Ariphaos, acot, acot override, acot sbtg, acot defines, ECA, ECA patch and UI Overhaul and the patch

was acot above or below eca and patches when you tested? It should be above.

I tested it only with ariphaos, ECA redux, ECA no name, and the ACOT mods. Somehow no matter the Galaxy options the selected amount of fallen empires don't spawn. Without ECA and the patch they do.

such as?

Somehow some Fallen Empires don't spawn anymore with this patch.

Yes, I'd removed it because it wasn't updated when I came to update this. It'll probably wait on Complex updating his stuff before I update this again though.

Do you plan on supporting Fatherland again?

Fixed

Hey just letting you know, for mem_broken_clock.102, an authority option is auth_imperial but it doesn't give the country the authoritarian ethic, which I believe is a problem for ECA.

Great update ! Thanks.

It isn't. You can use any combination of the "required" mods other than the obvious ones. They're largely in the required list for my ease of access when I come to update patching.

How bad of an idea is to have this in without More Events Mod?

Updated for 3.0.2 and moved the Real Space/Real Sol stuff to separate patches. See the ECA patches collection for them.

Well, RS is fantistic mod, however my poor computer couldn't bear it. Anyways, thank you for answer

I'm not currently updating or creating stand-alone versions of the patches. I'm not yet aware of any reasons to not use Real Space so I'm not in a hurry to update the existing individual patches or split out the new ones.

Great mod
Would you give a none Real Space version? Since part of supporting mod in this patch doesn't have its own separated patch, such as Storypack: The Nyblax and the Collector , ACOT

Well, they're not going to. Its the real space files with the necessary edits for real sol textures to work :)

Alright just making sure, I looked at the files and they didn't look too similar so I was unsure. Thanks.

Yes. There's a reason you need those two mods if using this one ;)

So, Real Space Textures says that it is not compatible with anything that overwrites special_system_initializers in the solar_system_initializers folder, but Real Space 3.7 overwrites the 3 files that Real Sol Textures has in that folder, including special_system_initializers.

Depends. You do need to have Ariphaos patch, Real Space and Real Sol Textures. The rest you can skip as desired.

Probably a slightly stupid question but to make sure (and trying to make the load order easier on the eyes), can I download and use this despite missing only 6 of the required mods?
