Oof. I've done something similar with the 'solar_system_initializers' folder in the past. It turns out, the game doesn't like initialisers being spelt with an s (as we spell it in the land of tea).

[SOLVED]
I'm trying to add a custom sound. With the following folder structure (wagho is the prefix I'm using, bold text indicates answer to the problem):
wagho_sound.asset
Somehow, the error.log says:
Everything is there, but it somehow won't find the sound! Anybody an idea what mistake I'm making?
EDIT: Apparently custom sounds need to be defined as being a sound effect in a new .asset file. The file can be placed within the folder where your custom sound is placed. Below is the .asset file I added in order for the sound to work.

When you define the trait, add:
initial = no
modification = no
randomized = no
For example:
Code:
trait_void_dweller_1 = {
icon = "gfx/interface/icons/traits/trait_void_dweller_positive.dds"
initial = no
modification = no
randomized = no
allowed_archetypes = { BIOLOGICAL LITHOID }
sorting_priority = 30
potential_crossbreeding_chance = 0.33
modifier = {
planet_jobs_specialist_produces_mult = 0.15
planet_jobs_worker_produces_mult = 0.15
pop_growth_speed = -0.1
}
ai_weight = {
weight = 0
}
}Are you asking if you it is possible to collect resources like minerals and energy from starbases, similar to trade value?
If so, I'm afraid what you are asking is impossible for mods to do.
I need to modify the starbase_view.gui file so that there is enough room to fit 12 module and 8 building slots, but I don't even know where to begin modding that file. Any advice?
Is there any way to hide the effects of a modifier from the player? I'd like to make a modifier that improves the player's habitability, but keep it secret from them.
Hey thanks for getting back to me, but I think I didn't make my question clear. What I am trying to do is make it so that in the initial empire designer, before starting a game, when you go to select species traits, certain traits will only be available if you select an origin. The idea is that by selecting an origin, new traits open up as choices for designing your species. With the void dweller example, it places that trait on every member of the species in the origin definition. So I was trying to do something like this:
Code:
trait_whatever = {
cost = 1
modification = no
randomized = no
potential_crossbreeding_chance = 0
icon = "gfx/interface/icons/traits/leader_traits/leader_trait_spark_of_genius.dds"
allowed_archetypes = { BIOLOGICAL LITHOID }
species_potential_add = {
exists = from
from = {
has_origin = some_new_origin
has_authority = auth_hive_mind
}
}
modifier = {
# stuff
}
}The goal would be that this trait would only show up (along with others) to be selected as an option for hive minds with the "some_new_origin" origin. But I did not realize that "species_potential_add" is only for modification in game. What ended up happening is this trait would show up all the time. It's looking like what shows up in the species designer is completely governed by "allowed_archetypes" and I am not sure if it's even possible to add new archetype definitions. Maybe I'll just have to do some event instead...
Does anybody happen to know how I could make the Fallen Empires spawn with Juggernauts? If so, how would I set the Juggernaut appearance specifically to molluscoid (as it is the closest in appearance to other FE ships by my judgement)?
I'm currently fixing the vanishing first rulers on election so far everything works but my randomization:
I tested it on a xenophile egalitarian democracy, so I expected 60% sci 20% gov and 20% adm as secondary class but I always got a governor.
However the main point works the ruler survives an election defeat.
The event is fired a few days after gamestart for all countries.

Does anyone know how I could stick a completed megastructure into a system on initialization? Say, the Strategic Coordination Center, Interstellar Assembly, or Dyson Sphere, for example?
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried using opinion_level in events? Does it work?
Update: Can't tell yet whether it works for sure, but no errors came up for using it to modify a random list at least.

So, I'm trying to give the Fallen Empires access to specific megastructures. In the case of the Enigmatic Observers, a Mega Art Installation and Interstellar Assembly over Sky Father and The Preserve respectively. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing them spawn. Could anyone spot what my error is because I can't figure it out?
Code:
planet = {
name = "NAME_Sky_Father"
class = "pc_gas_giant"
orbit_distance = 60
orbit_angle = 200
size = 30
has_ring = no
init_effect = {
spawn_megastructure = { type = "mega_art_installation_4" }
}
change_orbit = @base_moon_distance
Code:
planet = {
count = 1
orbit_distance = 15
class = "pc_gaia"
name = "NAME_The_Preserve"
orbit_angle = { min = 90 max = 270 }
size = 20
orbit_angle = 60
orbit_distance = 0
deposit_blockers = none
modifiers = none
init_effect = {
set_planet_flag = fallen_empire_world
prevent_anomaly = yes
set_owner = ROOT
set_planet_flag = fe_the_preserve
add_building = building_fe_xeno_zoo
spawn_megastructure = { type = "interstellar_assembly_4" }
while = {
count = 2
create_pop = {
species = owner_main_species
}
}Ah, I see. Yes, by event is probably the only way to do what you want.
This might be worth a try:
Code:
planet = {
count = 1
orbit_distance = 15
class = "pc_gaia"
name = "NAME_The_Preserve"
orbit_angle = { min = 90 max = 270 }
size = 20
orbit_angle = 60
orbit_distance = 0
deposit_blockers = none
modifiers = none
init_effect = {
set_planet_flag = fallen_empire_world
prevent_anomaly = yes
set_owner = ROOT
set_planet_flag = fe_the_preserve
add_building = building_fe_xeno_zoo
while = {
count = 2
create_pop = {
species = owner_main_species
}
}
}
}
change_orbit = 10 # some amount of orbit change may be needed so the megastructure isn't sitting inside the planet, experiment with what looks good
init_effect = {
spawn_megastructure = {
type = "interstellar_assembly_4"
random_pos = no # I don't know if this will work
}
}Good news and bad news:
Good News:
The Interstellar Assembly spawned.
Bad News:
Interstellar Assembly has no model.
The Mega Art Installation didn't spawn.
