It works, but its kind of bare-bones. Could use a QoL pass to move it out of the edict menu and assure MP-compatibility.

This needs an update

Going to set a reminder for Tass with the posting of this comment.

Is this save game compatible?

Looks like it's still working. Got past mid-game in two runs. I just wonder, if it can affect performance and if yes, how badly? Some waves are huge. I had my game crashed 2 times when there was a big mining laser disco party lol. However, it was with ASB More Particles mod. After I changed it to More Particles Light, no crash since then.

It would be nice if huge waves and/or insane difficulty spawned very little small "ships" and more bigger one, maybe some mini-leviathans?

awesome.

Yo, this being Updated?

Updated for 3.4, also seems still working

Hey, @tassadarpaladin this needs an update man, please.

Unless I have a mod conflict, I believe this no longer works. I was getting CTD every time the mod would trigger. Turning the waves to NONE fixed the CTD

I was so upset when the original mod died. Thank you! You've just made my day/week/maybe month. It's so sad that so many of the old mods are dead this days after the exodus during the unplayable versions.

@gingitis123 This mod keeps the original setting. It can't be changed during the game.
u can change the game setting of mid-term year to let the monster attack earlier or later, but it's not very wise if they appear at the beginning of a game.

The original mod description says the monsters only begin their "counter attack" 50 years before mid game. Does this apply to this mod / is there settings that let you mess with it?

I have update the mod a little bit. The Clouds will exist only 20 ships most which created by the monster wave. Also they will keep staying at where they spawned and not move around. So the Cloud should not destroy the whole galaxy now.

Okay, thanks for that information. I was not sure if they just spawned at the edge of my territories or in the aii territories and crossed border

@Drago Duval I suppose they will still be spawned. If you have enough large territory, u may encounter monsters be directly spawned within your border.

@I Darkstar X u may check the original mod description for multiplayer part, i didn't change this part.

How does this owrk with multiplayer?

O thanks for the update :D. Also quick question, once all of the galaxy is colonized, does it still spawn enemies ? From what i can see it only spawn in system's with low intel, so im guessing uncolonized systems ? Or just Ai systems ?

Update for 3.0.x

Clear errors and decrease the power of Cloud enemy which created by this mod

国家类型外交模块下面缺一条contact_rule = always

No idea if this mod will get updated to the new update, but from what i can see in the files i doubt that it would require a update. I'll try it to confirm it.

Of course they did. Clouds are beefy. 2000 hull, 2000 shields, and your armour and shields mean nothing. Usually the thing that keeps them in check is the fact they're usually alone and don't move.

fun mod, but the clouds became the crisis! Literally one half the galaxy was just millions of clouds spawning as the ai spit subpar ships which in turn fed more clouds.

from one person who updated this to another; Void cloud are a major contender for the nerf bat, while mining drones may require a beefing up along with tiyanki and shards. I just couldn't focus on figuring out ways to beat the clouds into submission / fixing the ship sections.

damn you beat me to remaking this one lol

the fleet power will grow as game year passed.

The monster event will start at the year of 50 years before midgame, after that they will spwan regularly. u can shut down the whole event in policy if they spwaned too many.

There will be some monster bosses with new policy appeared when game enter end game year.

What kind of fleets appear at different difficulty levels in terms of power? Also, do waves of monsters appear regularly or only before midgame?

i recommend setting rate at 1/20 month and medium strength.

Also the monster will spawn 50 years before mid game. Maybe a better idea to set mid game year at 2275-2300.

Does this mod add the "offspring" void clouds? Cause about 1/3 of the galaxy is now overrun with them.

@MiniMaster22 yes

just wondering, do the waves randomly spawn in your own systems sometimes?

I'm happy that you can disable this in policies, because later in the game if you manage to get large then chasing those randomly spawning creatures over large areas and having to rebuild destroyed mining stations becomes extremely tedious.

@Yandros It has been a very long time since last mod content update. Tiyanki may get some improved from game update caused this problem.

@Wizard of Cozz It is compatible for save games according to original author.

I wonder if it could be compatible for save games.

Fantastic work, however I've seen a couple of 50k-100k tiyanki fleets with one or two matriarchs in them, while every other monster fleet is 5k-10k strength at this point, this will probably cripple any player hostile to them and maybe delete leviathans they come across. This was on "hard" difficulty within the mod but still it's probably not intended I guess.

Thank you so much for doing this for us. Can't wait to play with this mod to pass thru the empty space boredom.

This... is a WONDERFUL trainwreck. I love it lmao

Thanks for this, it adds some spice

Oh, this will make expansion more fun and slow the AI a bit.

ouh, great! I wanted to try that mod so much!!

aw yis

Yes Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! OMG yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. TY FOR THIS SO MUCH!!!!!

@Retired Loli surely no need the old one

Do I need the old mod or not?
