Adding Fallen Empires

[Mmoore2434]

I had some ideas for fallen empires, namely some human ones, and I was wondering if it is possible to add them to the game through modding of some sort? And if so, how would I go about adding it? I haven't modded a paradox game since wealth of nations for Eu4

It's very much possible https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=815380349

Though I'm not sure how they did it so you'll need to ask them.

Fallen Empires themselves are created in YourModFolder/common/fallen_empires/modname_fallen_empires.txt
You can look up examples from the vanilla game files in Stellaris/common/fallen_empires/00_fallen_empire.txt

The solar system initializers for fallen empires are in same folder as all the others in YourModFolder/common/solar_system_initializers/modname_fallen_initializers.txt
Once again the vanilla game files offer perfect examples for what you need in Stellaris/common/solar_system_initializers/fallen_empire_initializers.txt

You can edit things like the spawn chance of each fallen empire, how much extra trait points they have, their starting resources and even what ship designs they use.

even what ship designs they use.

No, its determinate by scripted trigger\ethos\ship design.

What I meant was the lines

effect = {
                set_country_flag = fallen_empire_4
                add_minerals = 5000
                add_energy = 5000                       
                # must initialize global designs here
                add_global_ship_design = "Imperium"
                add_global_ship_design = "Supremacy"
                add_global_ship_design = "Glory"
                add_global_ship_design = "Reaper"
                add_global_ship_design = "Devastator"
                add_global_ship_design = "Servitor"
                add_global_ship_design = "Destiny"               
            }

where you initialize what designs they use.
The designs themselves are of course created in Stellaris/common/global_ship_designs/fallen_empire_ship_designs.txt or whatever custom file you create if using your own designs

where you initialize what designs they use.

No, this does not mean that the fallen will use this design.
You can put design from other fallen and this one will haven't any designs.

Hmm, ok. I definitely need to re-check how it works. I'm pretty sure at some point I remember them using any design I wanted. Maybe it was only for the initially spawned ships on solar system initializer and not on built ones.

Falling Empires are awesome, especially with mods:
