Love this mod thank you for the playable Cetana

05.11.2025 Borin, when the opportunity to recruit him became available, stopped appearing in new games. But if he was already recruited, everything is fine.

Also adjust Blokkarchive texture size, elo told me it's too big to put in Giga

Update 5/11/25

New

- Playable Cetana under Colle Crisis category

Fix

- Blokkuka cloth selector
- Blokkuya mesh index
- Update species class

@derega Lessgoooooo

@𝑧𝑒𝑛 ✦

There's a plan to, but have a bit of problem on how to handle all the alternative versions. Should update soon

Are you able to use Cetana as a player portrait? I can't seem to find her if so.

Update 29/10/25

New portraits

-Cetana Replacer
ACOT variant (automatically change if load after ACOT)
Species class variants (work like vanilla)

-Reth Replacer
3 species options (if not set in the setting will randomised upon spawn)

-Blokkatgirl(s) V3.0 "BlokkArchive" (not intergrate into Giga yet)
6 portraits

8 portraits total

Experimental

-Some paragon gender and age will be change if using the replacer portrait

@Derega16, I guess I could figure that out. Daunting.

@Zia

Techinically you can mod a new portrait groups yourself

Would it be possible to have one race that has a mix of many of them? it'd be super cute

Luckily new patch seemingly did not break anything. Tis very nice.

Today I learned there's a weeb version of gigastructure

ACOT is updated

Oh hey been seeing you on the Reddit

@•●Acronym●•

I think I'll remove ACOT compatibility temporary. Giga shader already updated but the combined shader isn't

Just to expand on the shader, it crashes even with a normal ringworld when viewed in system view

@Aki Zeta-9 Fixed, that modified code was unnecessary for few update but it wasn't broke thing until now so I forgot to remove it

civic_hive_devouring_swarm needs to be updated

Oh and, without the fx folder the amoeba and the yellow/green unbidden do not work, for anyone else finding this fix and wondering what doesnt work before you do it.

Amazing~ Thank you!....While I have your attention, any thoughts on making the paragons available as races? Would be really cool~

@Alniyat I it crash from missing the custom shader, I'll make a hotfix remove ACOT compatibility temporary, Giga shader should already updated

Thank you so much! I'll do the deletion temporarily and await merger.

@Alniyat

Okay I check the code, it's problem on shattered ring effect shader, unfortunately I can't fix that myself until merger of rules update and it's page said on hold

Alternatively you can delete gfx/FX folder in colle file, it'll make some portrait looks a bit weird but it'd fix that

@Alniyat have you tried merger of rules (if it updated to 4.0) from my experience it's likely shader issue

I love your portraits, I hope it fixes soon.

Help.
This mod, alone, causes the Shattered ring origin to crash on game start.

@Materialoss

Will come in 2 versions Ironman compatible and not

Ironman version will missed some like Ketling/Rakket and maybe MSI

@Materialoss

That one is planned

Can we get a NPC only version? like crisis only version

@Shadow Kitteh

If it run, Some paragon barbershop won't work properly because PDX change how portrait evolution works. But the rest should work normally.

If you can't run please tell me so I can make a fix patch for that

Does this still work when backdating to 3.14?

@Akashugo

For paragon yes, aiming to make 1-2 per month but not all of them are designed yet

also yes, It works without Giga.

sry i forgot to ask, this mod works without gigastructure engineering mod? i jsut wanted the enclaves and the other vanilla things. im not big fan of gigas, ngl.

Mostly i wanted Bubbles, overall.

may i ask, any plan for Paragons?
some "old" mod that changed paragons to anime style is broken rn, sadly.

Update 14/2/25

Tried it, seems to have reduced the lag period from 2 seconds to like... 1.5 seconds? Dunno, could just be placebo honestly.

@Lixix

Try using Merger of Rules patch

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807759164

It doesn't happen when only it is on, I tested that too. Forgot to mention, all of my other mods work fine with Gigacolle as well. At the time of writing my last comment, it was loaded higher (31, with ACOT being 42). Loading it below ACOT (44) fixes the portraits, but lag when selecting portraits still happens.
Ofcourse, this comment might be redundant but still felt like mentioning it just incase.
Cheers.

@Lixix OK I check it I forgot to update the shader file, will update by friday but can't guarantee have zero problem as I use the same file as Giga but ACOT seemingly have it's own shader I have to look if there's a compatibility version or not

@Lixix I check ACOT file, it doesn't modified any of extra dimension portrait. is it still happened when only Colle is on? Also is colle load before or after ACOT? Colle have a modified shader file and should be load later

The mod Ancient Cache of Technologies ( https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1419304439 ) seems to be conflicting with this one, causing the Vehement, Aberrant and one of the Bio portraits to disappear in character creator. It also causes selecting any portrait to lag the hell out of the game for two seconds. I've disabled everything else except these two and it happens, so I am sure it's conflicting somehow but frankly I got no clue how.

@derega16
Understood. Thank you for the reply!

@Cathelia Samicora

For ColleLit I forgot them in "common\species_names\colle_name" I put ColleSyn twice and forgot to change the last to lithoid

ColleBot is unused, it's does nothing, it doesn't have any portrait assign to

@derega16
Besides, the "ColleBot" species classes are not in the file "common\species_names\colle_name" too, it might has the same randomly generated species name missing bug.

@derega16
Report a suspicious bug about randomly generated species name missing: the portrait of "Prikkiki-Ti" is generated as a random species in my savefile, but it has no species name, just blank name. I have noticed that it is generated as "ColleLit" species category, but when I search the file "common\species_names\colle_name", I didn't found code about "ColleLit". Was this just the reason that why ColleLit might missing its randomly generated species name?

Time to play Stellaris again

Sadge. Though a static portrait would still be cool.
