Mod Description
Are you looking for more action and interesting events to show up while you are doing your day to day enslaving and conquering business? If, like us, you find the mid to late game a little lacking of interesting diversion, then you have come to the right place. This mod adds new anomalies, events and crises to your game, focusing on spicing up the game after exploration has slowed down.
This mod will be constantly updated with new content for your game. All events are designed to be balanced with the events in the vanilla game.
Note that we do NOT change any vanilla anomalies, events or crisis.
Mod Content
So far, the mod is adding the following events and anomalies. More details are available in the next message with a changelog. The events are available in English and in Spanish and more translation are planned.
28 New Anomalies
10 New Generic Events
1 New Origin Quest
1 New Exploration Event
4 New Diplomacy Events
And a bit more than that, I lost the count at the moment.
Distribution method
The mod is available throughout Steam Workshop. If you want to subscribe to it, follow this link.

Want to help ?
While we can always use capable coders as well as writers we also are in dire need of translators and you all as testers for our upcoming versions. If there are artists out there who are able to produce event pics with a quality matching that of Paradox´s pics and would like to support our work we would love to use their artwork in this mod.
Do you have Ideas for Anomalies and Events?
Feel free to let us know about your ideas. We always appreciate your help in this matter.
But please note the following guidlines:
Vanilla assets only, so nothing that would require integrating another mod, unless you can and would like to provide the completed assets to the mod entirely such as images or sound files.
Nothing that would require changing base files, so this mod will be compatible with all other mods.
Nothing using an existing franchises, so no cameos of Luke Skywalker and the like.
Nothing that would change the fundamental game balance, like an event that raises the mineral cap or fleet cap or changes the way the AI operates, etc.
Bug Report
You found a bug during your game session ? Please, post it in this thread so we can squish it in the next version. And if you could give us some hints on how to reproduce it, it would be also very helpful.
Adds 300% base fortification value to the planet it is build on (up from 50%)
Adds 5% to planet-wide happiness
Adds 5% to planet-wide habitability
Short explanation why these values:
From a game point of view, this was a dead technology that was not worth wasting a planetary tile with. Now it lasts a bit longer and adds some small boni to make it worthwhile
From a RP point of view, you have a big shield above your head protecting you, your family and friends (+unity & +happiness) most likely not only from evil aliens but also from dangerous radiation (+habitability)
Bombarding a planet to 0 health automatically ruins the planetary shield generator and therefore prevents giving a buff to the occupier (Also turns of the graphical shield effect until repaired)
Also, you may be able to research an advanced planetary shield generator if you fit the requirements (One of which is having surveyed an ancient shield world)
Orila Quest
Changed spawn chance of this quest from 100% to 30%
Harilla has a special planetary shield now
The Halissos system has a ruined science nexus now (to prevent the building of a Dyson Sphere on the too big sun)
Elusive Carcosa
Species traits of the reward options will no longer be applied randomly to randomly generated species
Ancient Robots Colony Event
Fixed recapturing events not firing
Added Options Menu to change various mod settings (Accessible through Situation Log)
Event chain is added on day 5
Currently contains options to (de-)activate our reworked shield worlds and the planetary shield effect of the planetary shield generators and a blank LEX menu

Well, the crisis will soon undergo some massive change as there are breaking bugs in it. We should remove it soon from the stable branch to give it some love before it can appear again in your game.
But if you really want to try it now (Note that you might not be able to end it because of the bugs), select a surveyable planet (Preferably Ocean, Continental or Tropical but it's not mandatory) and open the console. Then, with the planet still selected, use this code: add_anomaly mem_brainworm_category
Hi Coder here
I got some Ideas for rather simple generic Exploration-Events (along the lines of the generic Meteor-Paradox-Events ) as well as more complex ones that center around Observation Posts and wanted to work on those on the coming Weekends. I am doing Paradox-modding the first time so it'll probably take a while though.
Just wanted to ask, if I could submit those Events to you guys once I am finished / content with them.
( I just like a large All-In-One-Event-Package over a lot of small ones )
if you get your events in good working condition and if they fit well into the rest of our mod - which I believe you intend to make them fit according to our mod description - we will be pleased to integrate them once you have finished them. And of course you are right, ONE mod to rule them all^^.
Hey guys, was asked by morn to post in the last thread.
Then I realized it was closed and now I'm here.
I'm happy to offer a hand in writing and (as stated in the writing thread on Steam) I'm more than happy to supply examples of my work (even if most of those examples were for college projects)
This mod is lovely, but I'm xenophile pacifist and slowly dying of brainworms in MP.
On the plus side, it's the brain worms that will destroy the galaxy, not the robots, as my friend predicted when I made a planet full of synths. A+, would be infected in the pursuit of scientific discovery again.

Unfortunately, the brain worms crisis is suffering some major flows and we will remove it from the next release until we fix all the problems. We hope to be able to deliver a new release sometimes next week but we aren't sure yet as it also depends on Steam support. But we will keep you guys updated.
Event Title: Enterprise of the Fallen
Event Description: Investigation of this tomb world has indicated that its former inhabitants may have been more advanced than previously thought. Documents and schematics recovered from the surface include detailed examinations of an advanced starship. This may merit further investigation.
Outcome of investigation (general):
Investigations turned up a detailed archive, which may take years to study in full. However, the immediate conclusion is clear: The vessel, known as the "Project", does not exist.
It never did. The inhabitants of <world> had active imaginations, and had fantasized heavily about exploring space. The Project was the fictional ship that blazed a trail into the stars.
There is no research data to be gleaned from analysis of the archive, but it may be of interest to a collector.
<Sell for money.>
Outcome for Xenophile:
Investigations turned up a detailed archive, which may take years to study in full. However, the immediate conclusion is clear: The vessel, known as the "Activity", does not exist.
What a pity. The inhabitants of <world> were much like ourselves; they dreamed of strange new worlds and civilizations, and created a lengthy serial adventure story about what they thought space would be like. The Starship Activity and its intrepid captain would fit right into our navy - if only the people of <world> had survived.
We will remember them. <Science Officer> has created a program to translate the archive into our language; give the order and we will disperse it among the populace.
If it's popular enough, we could even make new episodes. Let these voyages continue.
<Sell for money option still available>
<Xenophile option> Roll the tapes! <Empire gets one year of Boldly Going: -5% ethics divergence. +5% happiness to Xenophile populations. Completing other anomalies during this time period has a 10% chance to add another month to the duration.)
Outcome for Xenophobe.
The inhabitants of <planet> were twisted, even for aliens. Reviewing their recordings has left <Science Officer> permanently deranged. Still, it's good to see that their folly is written across their planet in nuclear blast craters.
We could edit these archives for propaganda purposes. Just give the order.
<With either option, Science Officer gains Maniacal>
<Sell option>
<Xenophobe option> Show our people what happens when purity falters. <Empire gets one year of Schadenfreude: +10% happiness.>
Glad you like it. I'd like to propose a particular addition that may be interesting and would help open up the midgame - but would be a lot of work. Sort of a new event category that would be specific to the mod.
Starting around fifty years into the game, when things are slowing down, optional objects begin to drift into various star systems. These may be space hulks (a la Warhammer 40k) - wreckage of ancient starships that have accumulated debris - or asteroids, or the hives of spaceborne insects, or many other things. The important thing is that they drift through the system, are available temporarily (ten to fifteen years) and can be scanned by science ships. They always produce an anomaly (ideally with many different options, eventually), but produce no hazardous effects if left alone.
And I'm ten years out of practice on programming, but wouldn't mind trying my hand at things.

As much as this idea can add some cool things to the mid-game, we couldn't (Yet ?) work on this kind of event because it would involve the creation of new assets for the game and we don't have any artists in the team. Though we would like to welcome one (Or more), nobody has shown interest for this place at the moment.
The More Event Team is glad to announce the availability of the new version of the mod. This new update is mainly a Bug fix update but it also includes three new events for you to discover. It also removes the Brain Worms crisis which unfortunately breaks all save games where the event happened.
Note that at the moment, only the Steam Workshop version is available but we should start to update the forum version (Beta) soon.
Great mod, just have one thing about I don't like as much. The Science Convention.
#1: it seems to trigger far too much. Not sure what the time delay is but on a game on the second-highest speed setting I was playing, it seemed as if as soon as one had ended another one was about to begin, within at least 5 years.
#2: It also starts if I don't even know about any alien empires yet: it even fired for me in a game where I had no alien empires encountered yet, and in another where I had wiped out the only aliens I knew about. With the idea behind it being an 'international' event, this makes no sense.
#3: It's also a bit immersion breaking to always have to be the one to start one, at least I never got the invitation to join one started by an alien empire yet.
#4: The idea behind it is not suited for all types of empires. If I'm a xenophobe, my people should be unhappy if I invite xeno scum to it. If I'm a religious fanatic (spiritualist), my people should be unhappy I'm holding one at all.

Thanks for your extensive report about this event. We have taken note of all your comments and we will see what change we will make.
Just a question though. Is your feedback based on version 1.2 or 1.3 of the mod ? I'm asking this because the Science Con should happen less often in 1.3 and if you feel it's still too much, it might mean we have some fix to do.
Also, it's probably just bad luck that you weren't invited because AI could invite you if they get the event.
Anyway, we are discussing this right now and we will see what's best for the event.
