@Edorathino
I believe I changed that last year, yes! If I'm wrong let me know and I'll pull them out because I don't want the mod to be a chore.

do fallen empires still got megafauna in each colony? them having a boss in the capital would make sense but them having one in each planet made conquering them both unfun and a chore.

@Kaylee
This will be updated to 4.1 shortly yeah!
@Daepapa
No worries
@Kitty
I wonder what the most elegant modded solution is to improving Vanilla ground invasion AI...

Also, I'm curious, does this mod work with planetary diversity?

I saw that some of your mods got updated today for 4.1, I'm curious to see if this one will be updated soon also? No rush ofc, love your work, and excited to see what's next!

@WP yup sorry that's my bad, the build queue button didn't show up for the first few months in-game but then it appeared again; was just going through some recently subbed mods but like you said none of your 4.0 mods should make changes to the vanilla GUI, must've been some other weird incompatibility somewhere else

@WP The AI i just being Stellaris AI I feel. I run a pretty heavily modded game and should likely increase the difficulty lol. The AI can defend itself, but mostly with fleets. Ground wars are only good on well established planets, and as the Ai seems to expand rapidly and doesn't migrate pops, a lot of planets can have next to no armies.

I've not noticed them using your modded units, but then, in truth I don't usually pay attention to what the enemy is fielding unless I'm struggling against it x)

@Kitty
Awesome! I love hearing how it's actually going. Are you finding AI empires are able to defend themselves? And has an AI empire every used wildlife against you?

Further update! Been playing the same game. Now approaching mid game. 1000 stars, 14 empires, 4 fallen empires, 3 marauders. All the same mods as at the beginning.

No crashes or weirdness detected.

I've had your researches pop up. And recruited some of your wildlife and their riding version to my armies no issue either.

Seems there are no conflicts with Guillies or Giga so far!

@Elchardus
I like the way your mind thinks!

But you have a point, perhaps a true fanatic purifier might terraform the alien planet (thus killing every alien flora/fauna) and have an ark full of animals from their home planet to settle the new planet as well.

@WP: Every faction in the game (when played by ai) that is not environmentalist removes blockers, so that means they all hate (Dangerous) Wildlife :D And you could say that a xenophobe might hate every sentient alien that might pose a threat. They would probably not care about an alien equivalent of a rabbit/spider/dog/bee etc. For the grandchildren of the folks (in case of humans at least) that settle an a new planet, those 'alien' animals would be local animals.

@Kitty
That's excellent to hear! I believe Guillie rewrote his deposit spawning in a recent patch and I hadn't assessed it yet.

@Elchardus
Perhaps you make a good point! (This mod was made before environmentalists existed). I sort of feel PDX messed up a little there... Fanatically fearful or hateful Xenophobes that distance themselves from alien life shouldn't really be interested in defending alien biomes filled with alien flora and fauna.

Perhaps they're doing it in a self interested way. But then again we're only supposed to be talking about the FANATICS here. Not very fanatical to compromise on your beliefs to the extent of an empire defining civic.

Regardless I can probably add some logic that says if you're fanphobe + environmentalist together you get access. PDX leads the way, after all.

Fanatic Xenophobes and Purifiers also are uninterested in wildlife.
=> Technically, they don't hate alien wildlife since in vanilla stellaris, Fanatic Xenophobes (don't know about purifiers) can be environmentalists.

Just for some basic feedback.

I've started a game.

There doesn't seem to be much conflict between guillies and your mod at the moment. At least I'm not noticing anything odd from what I've been seeing after using guillies for ages. Your wildlife things are appearing as they should.

Not got far enough in yet for anything in Giga to have an affect with stuff.

I use both Guillies planet modifiers and Gigastructures.

How would your mod interfere?

With my current load order sorted through Irony, I'd place your mod below UI overhaul dynamic anyway, which would also mean your mod would be read after both Giga and Guillies.

What oddness might I expect?

@Jamie
Should do, but this is 4.0 not 4.1 so if there is weirdness let me know.

does this work with the new expansion or no?

@Daepapa
I feel that's impossible since there are no GUI edits in any of those files! Army attachments contains a custom GUI but it doesn't overwrite anything in Vanilla. Perhaps I'm wrong but I don't see how.

Either this, the Army Attachments, or PFE seems to hide the Build Queue button for some reason

@Mental
Can't start making that until the patch tomorrow! But I'll do my best with it!

Awesome ! Thank you for updating this :D
Now just need your planet view mod

Updated for 4.0!

A big patch with lots changed around, check the changelogs tab for full notes.

Guess I've gotta learn then.

Aw man. I'm no good with folders.

@Large_Gremline
Not on steam, no.

(On Steam, I mean.)

So you won't be keeping legacy versions of your mods up?

@Monitho
I appreciate the enthusiasm a lot!

great cant wait to use your mods again

Update coming soon! I've made a preview of the fancy new tooltips and bigger art here:
https://imgur.com/a/42RaU5o .

Also, I'll be hosting .zips of 3.14 PFE/DWE/MW on my google drive for anyone who wants them after the update goes live. Check for a link on the spreadsheet.

I posted a quick update on "Planetary Features Expanded" a couple of days ago and now I'm doing it here:
I'm currently updating this for 4.x! The update will be pushed to steam soon. For anyone who wants to stick on StellarisPI (3.14, arguably the best version of the game) NOW is the time to save a local copy of this mod in a .zip. Because once steam pushes it, it'll be lost for good.

@DeepDark
This does not work with 4.x yet. I'm considering updating for 4.1 but it depends how many more bug fixes come in from PDX. I feel Stellaris is pretty wrecked since "Phoenix" so far.

Sup

wow ! amazing mod ! Someone tested with 4.0.21?

@xKilryox
Thanks! Let me know what feedback you have for me to improve it!

Wow This looks incredible!

@TotalCarnage
Yep! Should be. Hives are allowed - with the exception of devouring swarms. They eat the wildlife, they don't ride it.

can hive minds get the Calvary techs?

@Finlay
Should be 100% fine!

is this ocmpatible with modded namelists or will it throw up names like %SEQ%

@Joachim
As I said on my other mod page: Yes, but not until the developers improve performance (as 4.0 was supposed to do).

Hello, will there be an update for 4.0?

Cool ideas!

Possibly a route for environmentalist civilizations too

Symbiotic relationships developing between symbionts and the wildlife would be cool, letting you either take the normal route, or put resources into taming and adapting those species for your wilderness for a better buff. Maybe you get a bunch of the armies for free this way?

@Hazardous
This isn't a 4.0 mod yet. What interactions would you like to see between them?

do wilderness empires get unique interactions with these wildlife forms? They are part of our expanding ecosystem after all.

@King of Winter
Thanks for the comment! If you have balance suggestions let me know.
