Tree of Life for Regular Empires

[Sharizcobar]

I’ve always somewhat felt Tree of Life should be available to regular empires and not just hive minds. It’s something that could add to the Environmentalist/Agrarian Idyll fantasy, possibly with a bonus to Psionics or Bio Ascension enhancing the relationship between the species and the tree, etc. Sort of picturing a non-hive minded plantoids or ‘space elves’ connected to the tree for their survival but still individualist.

There's a mod which does this.

It's viable and fun (and yeah "space elves" are a good fit).

Would be nice to see it in vanilla.
