On further investigation, Paradox seems to have added an event to prevent nuclear catastrophe on observed primitives, so the mod is no longer necessary.

That was in the description Norym

is this still needed?

Hey, if they kill themselves, free planet, any surviors is save or kill them.

In light of recent events i feel like primitives nuking themselves is a feature, not a bug

Thanks for the mod

@jasonpepe
Overwriting the entire file was necessary since any other way(and I tried, I know how it works since I also did it for other Paradox games) would have resulted in 00_actions(base game file) still triggering it monthly, so you would have the event triggering both every month and every year.

Since they removed it from the vanilla file and moved it somewhere else, I could now create a new file and edit it. It should work now without any compatibility issues.

Modding rule #1:
NO OVERWRITES the entire file
as the mod itself breaks the latest dlc contents.

Seems to be screwing with the starting Agenda too. There's an Agenda at the start of the game that's almost completed when you start the game. With this mod enabled that agenda is gone.

Hi just fyi this mod breaks two civics from the new DLC - Heroic Past and Vaults of Knowledge do not give their bonuses if this mod is enabled.

Hey maybe if you'd be so generous you could also reduce the chance of the fucking mad scientist event from firing.
I swear it occurs every single damn time you have passive observation on a primitive planet nowadays. I once had it happen twice in the same year!

Keep this mod alive because Paradox sure ain't gonna fix this.

PDX moment

You should make a version that doesnt edit the whole 00_on_action texte file right now it prone to many incompatibility

@Darkgills
I completely agree!
If this were real, with a 5% per year chance of having an Armageddon, humanity would have already turned to ashes in these last 70 years of the nuclear age that we have lived.

It is even possible to calculate: 5% / year chance of a holocaust = 95% / year of NOT having a holocaust. In 70 years:
0.95 ^70 = 0.0278 =2.78% chance Armageddon will not occur.

That is, a 97.2% chance of having turned to ashes.
And as we all know, we're still here.

Did they fix this in today's patch?

Honestly 5% per year still seems super high

@EAGLEKI
nice! I like

It is a shame that paradox kept the "once a month" though...

funny i was looking for something like this not even a week ago XD

i reveal myself then they nuke themselves

achievement compatible?

Atom Bomb Baby

Its funny, you let your presence known and they commit nuclear suicide instead of when left alone they don't do so. Another mod to fix the many of Paradoxes fuck ups in this damn game.

no, it is not

this just realistic

@Rope that's because it's bugged and big brains from Paradox switched "spread plague" and "cure plague" effects.

its dumb
i had one make contact with me
reach atomic age
and than die
in the same month

I find that if prims don't nuke themselves, they 100 percent die to the zoonotic plague event.

@Avan that doesn't work when nearly every single primitive civilization destories themselves, which regardless of it being realistic or not, which is isn't, It. is. NOT. FUN.

In real life nukes aren't capable of destorying all of human life anyways, most of the destruction will be concentrated in Cities in the Northen hemisphere, and studies have shown that Nuclear Winter isn't likely, especially not with the nukes we have today. You should watch Isaac Arthur's video on "Surviving a Apocalypse" and watch the section about nuclear war to see what I'm talking about.

@Ciaran Zagami I'd like to imagine the conversation if that's the case.
"Jarvuk, did you launch the ICBM's at the invaders?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Were they full on fuel when you did?"
"...oops."

I love this mod but watching the aliens I am bombing from orbit suddenly nuke themselves literally back to the stone age mid invasion is friggin hilarious.

It's like they tried to launch their ICBMs at me, but forgot to give them enough fuel so the bombs just fell back on their planet

yeah, kept wondering why all the pre-ftl I met kept nuking themselved (and how every type of intervention is almost always negative. Even the one about "teaching them" the better way, without any alternative choice to pick from, meaning you push them to fanatic xenophobe all the damn time that event pops up).

5% a year is still pretty high

Yeah, how am I not surprised that Paradox screwed up something again. While I have been enjoying the game, the amount of DLC by this point feels like those DLC packs for the Sims. Even more so with the pricing. Hell, I was actually going to not buy anymore DLC with how much there is now. It's gotten out of hand.

i mean look at us irl how many times have we almost nuked ourselves in the past few months alone

Common paradox dev L

is it achievement compatible?

@Person012345 Yeah sure, cause eastern people (whatever that means) are immune to propaganda ! How convenient.
Btw this mod isa real help, it's a shame they dare sell their dlcs for more and more to provide such a buggy and meager content. Honestly not gonna buy any dlc ever again...

Me coming on the workshop to find a mod that does this, finding this is the top mod on the whole workshop right now

@zil They already have public support for WWIII, the western public are complete slaves to propaganda. It's a question of if and when they choose to start it.

well that was weird

thats all i want to say. the title of the mod caught my eye. but i depart from whence i came now. bye

@pluto look deeper into it for the hidden truth to world events. If the leaders try to summon public support for world war 3, then you can assume ww 3 wont happen. Why? because the people would be incinerated by a nuclear exchange and there is no point asking for agreement from a people who will be destroyed anyways.

i have legit fears that humans will make themselves extinct soon. 8(

Can we apply this patch to the real world?

@Akidnamedkiller. They didn't, all they said was that NONOBSERVED Primitives wouldn't, they didn't say they fixed the bug where Primitives are more likely to commit nuclear suicide in general.

What for? Better make it daily. Universe of the NUCLEAR HATRED!!!1111

congrats paradox have added your mod to the game woot woot

@Rohzdear What is it called?

@乘龙 There's another mod already that removes the Nuclear Armageddon event entirely.

@Daisuke They only fixed unobserved primitives nuking themselves. They made no adjustments for observed primitives. If you use passive observation and if they happen to randomly become aware of you you have a higher chance of pre-ftls in atomic/space ages to nuc themselves which grows as more "one time" only events happen and shrink the option pool further
