Brain Slug Bug?

[Lasagna Star Empire]

I just get Distant Stars and the Brain Slug event that give the Trait Brain Slug Host but it seems this Trait does not work. It is supposed to give 10% research speed and when I put my brain slugged leader the 10% are not in the Research Progress, I should have 52%. Is that a bug or am I don't understanding something?

I am having the same result with my Science leaders too. However, it seems to be working with the governors.

Looking at the underlying .txt file, the devs used the self_modifier = {} rather than the modifier = {} clause in some of the cases. I'm sure it'll get fixed quickly when the first patches roll out..

It's as sillyrobot said remove the "self_" and all should work fine, quite a few of them to change as well.

Under Traits/Distant worlds also.

Well, duh. The brain slugs fooled your species into letting them take over with false promises of performance boosts.

It's a bit more difficult. Some of the traits (like the experience modifier) need to be in self_modifier. So you'd have to add a modifier={} clause and then split the modifiers between two sections.

The funny thing is that as a xénophobe, after the experiment you can only say "nope" but your leaders still get brain slugs.

Frag dammit. Does this apply to the resource modifiers to, or just the science research boost? As i it is doesn't boost science output, I'm going to be regretting populating my research planets with -25% growth speed normal citizens...!

Looking at the base files, I would guess among the leaders, the general and the governor modifiers work properly (the governor is actually better than intended since the xp reduction is in the wrong spot). It looks like the species traits should also work.

Cool. I can live with the other issue, until it's patched, i guess, since I'm not sure it'd be worth the time I'd have to spend fixing it manually for the odd dude.

The way it's described you only hide the existence of slugs from the general populace but there's no mention of 'the elite" not using them.

For me it seemed more like. We test it but it stops there after wards (as in maybe the scientist in question should get it and that's all).

hmm seems my ruler don't want to take a slug, but i want him to do, so, any ideas or codes i can use to add a slug to my ruler?
