@Wairui - No issues with this mod, to my knowledge. I'm also not going to start doing patch notes, sorry.

MrFunEGUY:
Another excellent QoL mod in a series of great mods. Thank you! I'm looking forward to using this mod once the fixes to the issues, mentioned below, are implemented.

I've been using it and aside a delay in updating what counts as "borders" it does appear to work fine

I think it probably introduces some bugs with diplomatic actions, but I'm not sure. I'll update it eventually

Does this work with 4.1?

Could you add an exception to the border requirements for the Galactic Emperor with members of the Galactic Imperium, please?

Can't see how, but I guess it's possible? But I would definitely think it's another mod first

Any chance this mod makes end of the cycle aura bugged to end galaxy instantly?

@dnceleets - the buffer zone CB is from my vessels expanded and reworked mod. An empire gets it when the vassal of another empire is bordering them or one of their vassals, so that they can steal the vassal.

not sure if this is your mod or another one so i wanted to ask. A hive mind empire near me has a CB for buffer zone (i know that is not your mod) the thing is we don't have touching borders, but my vassal does. The vassal is between us should they really get the buffer zone CB? i'm not how exactly your mod works, like if you messed with the "shared_borders" or whatever the syntax is and that's why it works that way now so it can't be fixed but to me i wouldn't think this mod would affect that CB since it already only works if you share a border and you can declare war on subjects already.

If this isn't the fault of your mod at all then i apologize, i know this Hive mind having this CB is another mods doing and this could just be an unintended side effect of the two or even just the work of their mod and not yours

Maybe but let's say no to be safe

Works with 3.14?

I actually really love this mod. It mitigates federation/vassal spam without removing those mechanics entirely. I'd recommend this mod to anyone.

@[PIGZ]MrTango - It's one year lol. Definitely would take at least that long to work out the kinks of an intergalactic defense pact.

woof, long delay after continuous borders

@[PIGZ]MrTango - That is already how it works, as stated in the description.

Would be cool if it could be one closed border removed for defensive pacts. Me-Myrival-Myfreind

@Lunatic - Nothing changes. You won't be able to do new things that require shared borders, but no existing relationships will be removed.

This mod improves the game so much. Thank you!

May I ask what happens if you lose the "shared border" status with in ally?

@Allein - That is exactly how it works.

Will do

I was about to report a problem in that I was getting "no shared borders" with someone that I clearly share borders with, until I checked the on_actions file to see that the event that actually gives the shared_borders flag is on a yearly pulse (borders_required.2000). It can be quite frustrating to stare at the neighbor map mode, see that X country IS in fact your neighbor, but be unable to do something with X because 'you are not neighbors with X' and wonder "why isn't this WRB thing working???"

I think you should write in the description that these flags are added specifically on a yearly pulse and not say, a monthly or daily pulse as most players would expect. Perhaps just a small warning at the bottom that the mod updates flags once a year?

Thanks.

The module is not working,AI may join the Federations without restriction

Glad I found this.

@MrFunEGUY russian translate

thanks mate

Updated.

It still works fine

When will this mod be updated to the new update version ??

No, it is not.

hello nice mod, is it achievmt friendly or not?

The issue has been fixed.

@Proud Lemming yeah.. i cant make federation when this mod active..

Not sure if mod incompatibility, however the ask to form a federation button is permanently greyed out with this mod activated.

I just found this thanks to r/Stellaris, haven't even used it yet and already agree with @Astral Terror. Looking forward to using it, thanks MrFunEGUY!

Thank you @Astral Terror; I agree.

Just my opinion that it's essential because it prevents massive vassal and federation swarms. Of course all play styles are different, but I find that to be one of the worst "features" in vanilla Stellaris, total runkiller for me.

Thanks Venatorae for a quick fix. Confused as to why it's necessary, but its whatever.

This is an essential mod, makes diplomacy feel so much better and realistic. Such a simple fix but it does exactly what I want it to (i.e. no more vassal swarms with overlord on other side of the entire galaxy)

Can it be a border connection via Wormhole or Gateway?

Add this to the scripted triggers and it works:

For the regular border check:

any_federation_ally = {
any_system_within_border = {
closest_system = {
limit = {
exists = space_owner
space_owner = {
OR = {
is_same_value = root
is_in_federation_with = root
AND = {
exists = overlord
overlord = { is_same_value = root }
}
}
}
}
use_bypasses = yes
max_steps = 1
}
}
}

For the defense pact/ guarantee border check:

any_federation_ally = {
any_system_within_border = {
closest_system = {
limit = {
exists = space_owner
space_owner = {
OR = {
is_same_value = root
is_in_federation_with = root
is_neighbor_of = from
AND = {
exists = overlord
overlord = { is_same_value = root }
}
}
}
}
use_bypasses = yes
max_steps = 1
}
}
}

Yeah like I said I feel like it may be a PDX issue. Regardless, Ill be away for the summer.

Yo! Same problem than Psykopelle, not my only mod tho

So I looked into it a bit and have no idea why it is broken for federation members right now. The code hasn't changed, and it should be the same. May be a PDX issue, I'm unsure.

It should work for fed members, I'll check that out.

Did some more testing on the same save. If I make my neighbour a vassal instead of a federation member, shared borders between him to the next empire is fulfilled. But still not through him as a simple federation member. Only way I can reach through him to the next empire to try inviting them to the federation would be to make the middle one a vassal. Or maybe waiting for my federation member to ask, who probably has borders. Love the idea for the mod btw.

Hmm an empire is sharing a border connection with my Galactic union member, but it still says we have no shared borders. This is literally my only mod too. Rest seems to be working as intended too.

No problem o7

Thinking it mightve been a mod conflict. This mod doesnt play well with a lot of other mods. Thanks for the report.

Though only vassalization needs shared borders
