Compatibility
There is a scripted trigger, has_megacorp_mod_active, included. Use this to assist in maintaining compatibility between mods if you maintain a compatch or mod.
Additional Details
Not everything can be easily communicated through the descriptions in the image albums, or may not be apparent just playing the game.

Banking Clans' special building, the Mercantile Complex, is available with a Planetary Administration building (pop size 10 capital.)

Just like Merchant Guilds/Technocracy, Banking Clans/Scientific Syndication grants 1/1/2 merchant/science director jobs for the 10/25/50 pop capital upgrades.

Urban Moguls' special district can only be made via a planetary decision to convert a city district. Read the update notes. The Commercial Arcology now stands alongside the Leisure Arcology, but if you drop the civic it will convert into them.

The Arcology Project decision for Urban Moguls empires costs energy instead of minerals, and completes a little faster.

Peak Production's unique decision, Intensify Industrialization, has a randomly rolled negative outcome upon completion. This can be adding light devastation, creating tile blockers, or sometimes losing a district. It also adds the Hyperindustrialized planet modifier. You were warned!

Should you change civics or capture a planet with one, the Colossal Manufactory feature will stay. The Hyperindustrialized modifier also stays.

If you do not have the Peak Production civic, you can use the decision Clean Up Industrial Sites to remove the feature and modifier.

If you encounter a hostile Maniacal Monopolist, you can have the "Dismantle Monopoly" Casus belli available, granting the "Trust Busting" wargoal. This is akin to "end threat" for other purifiers.

Tech Weight Modifiers
Several civics have weight modifiers. Keep in mind that if a civic seems to not be useful early on, it may have weightings to help you unlock its bonuses!

This mod also tweaks the event origin.55, the event to create a federation on game start (Common Ground & Hegemony origins). It does not adjust origins.txt or 01_game_start files, nor does it replace origin_events_1.
