Yes, download the manual version and then go to "More AI Personalities\common\personalities\MAP_personalities.txt"

Each entry for each personality has a section of code that looks something like this:


The "weight = 10" (or whatever number it is) is the main spawn chance number thingy. Most of them, whether from vanilla or my mod, are around 5 to 10. The second part are modifiers that can change the chances of those appearing depending on different criteria.

where do I find the manual download?

Or can I simply take it out of the workshop folder and use it as is?

You can take it out of the workshop folder, but the manual download can be found in the link in the description to the mod's page on the PI forums.

For editing the spawn chance through the workshop folder on Steam, go to "content” and open the folder named "281990". After that, the AI Personalities Mod will be in the folder named "701432146". From there, just follow the directions that cybrxkhan posted above.

Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/281990/701432146

I'm not sure if anyone else has already posted something similar in the comments section, but I just wanted to put this out there so no one has to go through the trouble of hunting down the file in the workshop folder.

@GeneralWolf5372 Thanks for that. Always a pain when I have to look it up myself so hopefully that should help others.

You need to have a PI account and log in to access the thread. Otherwise, see SnakeStone97's instructions in their post above to find where steam installed it. You can manually move the files to a new mod folder in "Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod" and edit the files from there.
