My friends and I created a Stellaris Species Generator that lets you see visually what combinations of traits, ethos, and government forms are compatible. Also, there's a summary screen now that lets you take a look at the choices you picked, along with a species picture picker.

Tested on Chrome and Firefox.

Features to add and timeline:
  • Summary page by whenever Europeans get out of work tomorrow (DONE)
  • Species name and description by tomorrow night (DONE)
  • Autosave (DONE)
  • Import/Export Species (DONE)
  • List of summed modifiers on summary page (DONE)
    • I don't think there's anywhere to see this in game during species creation, so you'll have to use this tool to see it! :D
  • Species Pictures (DONE)

I hope you find it useful! Feel free to post any feedback in this thread.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the positive feedback, guys! Let me know if you see any more bugs and such, too.

Very cool. Nice job!

The only thing I could recommend on top of your proposals: Any chance of importing the pictures as well?

Other than that, I'll be making good use of this over the weekend :D
 
Very nice.

I would put portraits on the list though.

No previous (2ish) generator has been as graphically pleasing as yours. But none of them have the portraits. I know they don't affect game play but I definitely think it will set the tone for the race for some players.

I know it would significantly increase the UI size maybe, and be annoying cutting them up. I certainly wouldn't expect them to be animated outside the game.
 
On the Ethics Selection, say you select a a tier one (Xenophile) and another tier one (Pacifist). If you want to move up to a Fanatic on one of those, you have to uncheck the tier one marker and then select tier two. So there doesn't seem to be logic that if tier one of a column is selected, two tier can be upgraded to if 1 point still remaining. Otherwise nice.

The governments are not updated (they are on wiki)
Here is a list of changes I found (compared to previous version, which You seem to have used)"
from govs: naval capacity in military dictatorship has been bumped up to +20
theocratic oligarchy now gets a -15% leader recruitment cost (in addition to the previous bonus to ethics divergence)
science directorate now gets a +1 leader capacity (in addition to previous bonus)
peaceful bureaucracy had it's leader cap bonus reduced from +4 to +1, also got a +1 leader pool size added
direct democracy reduced from +4 core planets to +2
theocratic republic now has +2 core planets, in addition to it's -10% ethics divergence
From traits:
Agrarian is now +15% food (from +2)
Nomadic and sedentary now get +/- 33% resettlement cost
Resilent now is +100% garrison health and +50% fortification bonus.

Thanks for the info! I'll deploy the fixes shortly.

EDIT: Should be fixed now.

First: Great tool! Thank you! Secondly I am using firefox but I also tried Pale Moon but with both nothing happens when I am clicking the buttons. When I open the links in a new tab I am able to see everything but Ethos and Government. I only see the background.

There were some browser compatibility issues. Hopefully they're fixed now.
