Glad to see other people as angry about Paradox's decision as me.

The wormhole generators as an FTL mode were one of the biggest reasons I bought Stellaris, so now I feel like I've had all my investment in this game stolen from me. All my best gameplay stories are as a result of wormhole tech. And it's just gone now.

So there's no way to currently mod 2.0 to include all FTL? I'm just baffled by Paradox's decision. Why deliberately cut such integral content from a game?? If they think hyperlanes work better, then surely everyone would have only played with hyperlanes!

Yeah, it is indeed god f****ing damn it.

This mod is the living proof that Paradox basically went backward regarding game design direction as well as broken promise of "multiple FTL" techs.

There were a lot of good suggestions to fix FTL issues, and Paradox had to make their own solution, which is the worst possible one.

God, damn, it, man...

It seems Paradox abanodned multiple FTL method, making this mod worthless. This mod will be no longer updated, unless Paradox decides to bring back multiple FTL again.

Well, kind of.. *tries to run away*

Ok, I am also approaching to the conclusion that without overriding vanilla files (which this mod has been avoiding so far) it seems I am not going to go anywhere.

I am looking for the least destructive way for it.

heyis this mod still up at running

yay, thanks for not abandoning this mod. =)

Busy w real life today myself, but I'll be making 1.6 versions soon. Look forward to cooperating.

@Pode : Thank you. Actually I've been busy with RL and playing other games, as well as maintaining other mods...

Since 1.6. Came out, it seems it is good time to try something for this mod.

We should compare notes, I was able to get my PreFTL version based on this working under 1.5. Then again, I've never been able to do so without overwriting the vanilla files in a non compatible way.

Yeah, I am still looking for a solution. Something regarding that made FTL techs 'tier 0' may have been something to do with it..

aww, good luck! i'll keep an eye out! It irritates me that FTL isn't researchable. this mod was nice to have! =)

So guys, it seems Paradox fundermentally changed the code regarding FTL, and this mod is completely broken.

I am looking ways to make this mod workable again, but otherwise I think I am going to abandon it.

okay, thank you, the 7/21 update summary had me wondering

@prbeeney : Yes.

does this mean all player can research jump drive without the seperate mod?

Sorry, wasn't sure. Thank you!

As I said, there is literally no difference in coding. You will see a red "!" symbol appears on the play button, but you will have no problem playing the game....

Man, I said exactly same thing in October 26th lol.

It won't let me run it on 1.2.5, is there a Version that does?

Awesome thanks for the reply!

@Suncrusher : There is literally no difference in coding. I only chaneged the version number. It will surely work for 1.2.5, for now.

Would you be able to put up a 1.2.5 version ? Thanks!

No problem. Feel free to notify me if there are any bugs.

thx for the updates

Updated for 1.3

thank you for this mod. I got nearly 400 years into my 1st hyperlane game and it was my 1st run not on wormholes. Honestly they seemed the most fun and after i learned of the energy rates of other ftl I usally take the eco hit and stantion up for the fleet boost
Plus jump is really redundent with wormholes so i hoped it would be real tech boost on hyperlanes and waited and waited but lol

You are welcome. Pre-FTL is something I didn't really think about. That's very interesting.

Yes, absolutely. Even the idea of this mod is not original. I just made myself one when the all FTL research mod I was using was no longer updated and unfortunately not written well.

Your mod's researchable FTL inspired me to make my Pre-FTL Players mod where even the starting FTL has to be researched. I borrowed heavily from your AI work here. I wanted to extend thanks and retroactively ask the permission I should have gotten up front.

AI is not capable of using multiple FTLs as much as humans can. More likely, they use "best" FTL based on the AI weight originally written. Here are what they usually follows:

1) They tend to stick their original FTL if they are present with multiple FTL but with same weight.
2) They will all jump the ship if they research alternative FTL and able to research more advanced one, they will switch all ship to that one.

For example, if AI's starting FTL is warp, and if it has both warp 1 and hyperspace 1, it will use warp 1. But if it has warp 1 and somehow obtains hyperspace 3, it will upgrade ALL ships to hyperspace 3; it won't try mixing FTL techs. Same for Jump Drive case.

But FTL switch other than Jump Drive rarely hapens since both the original 1.0.1 and my mod made starting alternative FTL tech rare, which means the AI usually have much higher techs for their original FTL drive than other alternative ones.

how will the ai react to the changes?

Let you know, I am currently working on some jump drive mod. It means soon or later the tweak on the Jump Drive will be gone, and replaced by my second mod.

That said, from the files people were supposed be able to reverse-engineer Jump Drive from the Fallen Empire (hence only Jump Drive was marked as reverse-engineerable while other FTL techs are not), but obviously for some reason this mark is not working.

The fact that people were supposed to be able to obtain Jump Drive reliably from the Fallen Empire is the reason why the Jump Drive research weight is insanely low. Yet another significant oversight from Paradox.
