Flesh-Rooted Hive Mod Description
Delve into the depths of cosmic horror with the Flesh-Rooted Hive origin mod, where your hive mind transcends simple chitin and synapse to become an immense biomass entity rooted deep within worlds. As the Flesh-Rooted Hive, your colonies sprout colossal living structures, weaving together flesh, roots, and sinew to harvest the very life force of each planet. While your ships are strengthened by regenerative hulls and potent biological weaponry, your empire’s connection to decaying worlds slows technological progress outside biology, forcing you to adapt through growth and consumption rather than innovation.

Establish Flesh Root Colonies to strengthen your foothold across the stars, then upgrade them into powerful Flesh Root Nexuses, which amplify pop growth, food production, and drone efficiency on their worlds. Further ascend by transforming these nexuses into Flesh Root Thrones granting even greater growth, production, and planetary bonuses.

Finally, unlock the Throne of Flesh Eternal Ascension Perk to achieve the pinnacle of biomass dominion: constructing the Flesh Root God Nexus, an ultimate capital upgrade that doubles the effects of the Flesh Root Throne, massively enhancing growth, production, unity, naval power, and biomass supremacy across your empire. Whether you seek to spread your tendrils across the stars or simply stand as an unyielding monument to life’s darkest evolutionary paths, the Flesh-Rooted Hive will leave the galaxy trembling in awe and terror.

(if you are using another mod manager, it will most likely appear there as "civic test")

✅New Event: "The Bloom Beneath": A strange resonance pulses from the crust of our cradle-world. Deep beneath the subdermal layers of the biosoil, a fibrous mass has awakened—throbbing, whispering, blooming. It is no natural formation.\n\nThe Hive's synaptic feelers report a surge in ambient bioelectric activity. Fungal membranes and tendril colonies have ruptured into the surface, forming massive organic protrusions that exude an intoxicating pheromone—a call, a lure, a hunger.\n\nWe do not remember planting this seed. Yet it remembers us.\n\nThe Bloom offers us a choice: to nurture it, to dissect it, or to destroy what we do not understand.

✅Based on your choices, you advance through an event tree- with each choice deciding the fate of the Bloom Beneath the surface of your world!
