@Sassafier if you wanna stay lore accurate I'd do hive mind, as the devouring swarm civic fits with the insecticons' need to eat everything they see

Nevermind! I looked at the files and found that the Insecticon Hive Origin allows for either the Hive Mind Authority or the Machine Intelligence Authority.

Would an Empire with the Insecticon Hive Origin use the Machine Intelligence Authority or the Hive Mind Authority?

is there supposed to be only the decepticon star empire when choosing empire?

I've always wanted a Transformers-themed space-naval RTS! Once I get the required DLC, I'm gonna have a blast with this!

thanks so much for keeping this upto date i absolutely love how faithfully and seriously it adds the transformers verse and its unique technologies into the game.

the only oen that was even close in terms of its completeness to gameplay and lore of the property it was adding to stellaris was tiberium expanded which sadly is lost to the outdate tides now.

and maybe thaumcraft but perhaps its blocky loyatly rules it out for many.

Is it intended, that on a cybertronian worlds there are more building slots than planet view screen can fit? Fourth slot in districts other than city district goes off screen.

Think you can make this work with Downscaled Updated? Some of the other updated mods use it going forward and don't want to end up having two downscaled mods

SEE Patience.

witness it

@Mystoria: Be patient, the update just came out. I have to look over it and see what changed.

@force728 update bro

the ships are an absolute banger

About that energon abundance, doesn't help that I'm a dumbass who never added energon consumption in traits...

Quick idea: have you ever thought about making the autobot and decepticon traits cause crime when these pops are on the same world?

please know your work does not go unappreciated, keep up the good work

hey just wanted to say I love your mod, and I'm really happy to see it's alive! I've been playing with it the whole time before 4.0 which is about 300 hours, that's how much I enjoy :D

@Cyph the Terrible: You're missing the Dark Energon armies tech research which unlocks the Corruptors.

How do I recruit Dark Energon Corrupters as a Hive Mind? I’m not a Transformers empire but do have Decepticon and Autobot empires active in Galaxy. Have researched Dark Energon Mining and just got Dark Energon Point Defence. I have a world with Dark Energon Refinery and two worlds with seeded Dark Energon crystals and at least one world with Dark Energon Mines building.

@XTERMINATOR06: Thanks, I'm still figuring out how to make Energon be a rare resource for Transformers, but you'll naturally have an abundance of it when starting on Cybertronian worlds with energon districts. I could either increase the energon pop upkeep or reduce the amount created from jobs. I'll see what works.

Amazing mod, honestly closest we might get to a transformers strategy game. Only real thing I'd like to be improved would be energon balance, it feels like it is always in abundance. Just happy it's getting fixes for new updates

yeah that's the thing that absolutely god damn SUCKS with active update games.

@Колдун ♥♥♥♥♥♥!: Who can't find what? Also, if you have bug to report, post it in the bug reports thread, not here.

@Erwin Rommel: It's always possible, but since Pdx updates the game so frequently, I'm more focused on keeping this mod in working order. After I fix some other issues that came with 4.0, I'll think about adding more content in the future. Also, I'm not interested in creating a discord server at the moment.

Any planned update or future things to be added? Aswell creating a discord would be intresting

Oh YESSSS....the destruction I will bring with a corrupted Allspark

@Modern Spartan: Yes, just after researching the third energon mining tech.

If I play Pax Cybertronia, is there a way to get dark energon later once the tech is researched? Like can I infect planets with dark energon crystals later on? Mainly looking to get the stronger weapons 😏

Ah, my dumbass

If only the author made mention of NSC in the description. Hint: he did

Is this compatible with NSC3?

I remember the Fall of Cybertron Origin having most of its planetary features blocked so I was wondering if its intential that they are no longer.

Okay, this could just be me not being used to the new version of Stellaris. Admittedly the "Cybertronian" trait does say 50% growth.

And looking at the internet it's clear that "no machine pop assembly" has been a frequent problem in the new version.

But should I be looking for mod conflicts if my new Autobot colony's pop growth is 2? Because it seems to be to be a pretty low number!

Hey i read your last comment amazing mod btw!! i just wanted to ask that when you do the next update whenever you can if the thirteen primes would be having portraits also i love what you done with the colony worlds again wondering if there would be origins for them as when i do the cybertronian colony origin and use the starting system i don't get the planet look. anyway thats it sorry amazing mod again!!

mhm

This looks AWESOME.

...Might be time to update the name, though-new planet, new mechanics, multiple origins and civics, you have gone far beyond being a portraits mod. :)

I was wondering if we could build gigantion city project from decision because it doesn't appear for me also can we build other world type of cybertronian world? like a junkion type cybertronian world with all the planetary features? also with the gestalt consciousness I don't get the Cybertronian tradition. maybe future updates?

but even if I don't get all the things in the mod I absolutely love it one of the best mod for stellaris since I'm a very big fan of WFC and FOC. it's a lot of fun to play different type of cybertronian colonies and being able to customise those traits to make it your own is really enjoyable and I hope this mod will continue to exist in later versions.

Oh okay. Thank you for the return

@Spitfire: Thanks, I'll update the tradition tree. I also remembered putting Soundwave's portrait in the commander and ruler pool. He should show up there.

@Spector641: Version number update. For future reference, if I don't post anything in the change log, then it's either because it's a minor text change or a version update. If it's something substantial, then I'll post it.

@✧Starshadow Melody✧: I think someone mentioned this before. It's an interesting idea, but right now I'm still busy working out some of the errors and changes leftover from the 4.0 update before I can start adding in more content for the mod.

Wondering if you could add Soundwave's portrait to the decepticon's leader pool? (Any roles would do, thought preferably commander or official)

What's in the new update?

An origin(or two, one on earth for obvious reasons) that starts with Cybertronian pops alongside a previously-primitive Organic species that wasn't quite uplifted, but rather just... had Cybertronians barge in on them, as decepticons are wont to do and autobots are wont to stop them, could be fun.

"Optimization Algorithms" in the cybertronian tradition tree doesn't seem to have any effect

THis should have a discord server

@christophercrayon Yes you can.

Coming across an issue where all leaders are immediately retired.

Can I have the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons occur?

awesome much appreciated!

@Xecutor: Yes, but not in the usual way. You have to use the planet decision tab to start the process of Cyberforming a planet which will also need the Cybertronian Worlds ascension perk unlocked.

caan you teraform worlds into cybertronian worlds? if o how do you do it?

Ah, well, the last time I actually went through the origin (I usually get an idea for another run before I even get to the midgame) I had a fortress on the world, so I won the ground battle without even doing much, I should probably avoid building a fortress until after the events.
