This mod adds 220 new species traits to the game:

■ 169 Biological Traits
[list]
• 113 common traits
• 46 non-lithoids only
• 10 lithoids only

• 33 common traits
• 7 robots only
• 11 machines only

[/list]



The mod contains some origin traits which cannot be added or removed after the start of the game. The traits will provide very distinctive attributes/backgrounds for the species and some of them may alter the gameplay remarkably. They are indicated as blue icons.

• Trait Points Traits
• Species Privileges
• Compatibility Patch - Photosynthesis

If you are still using VitesseDL's Expanded Traits, I suggest you to move this mod from VDL since almost every trait in VDL is included in this mod. Yes, you can consider this mod as a sequel of VDL.

If you have your custom empires with VDL traits, do not unsubscribe VitesseDL's Expanded Traits immediately. You need to replace existing VDL traits with corresponding traits in this mod, otherwise, you will lose your trait data in your custom empire when you unsubscribe VDL mod. Sorry for inconvenience.



This mod contains Cadence's Extremely Lazily Written Genemodding UI to provide enough space for species modification window. Hence, the mod overrides the user interface file for species modification window:

• interface/species_mod_window.gui

I've run several tests with some popular UI mods and I found no critical issue; you can use other UI mods without any compatibility mod. You can choose which species modification window you would like to use by sorting the mods. If you want to use the species modification window from other UI mod, sort the UI mod below of this mod. Otherwise, if you want to use the species modification window from CELWGUI, sort this mod below of the UI mod.


Note that the mod manipulates and overrides vanilla elements of:

• (game_rules) pop_has_random_ethics
• (game_rules) species_has_happiness

I believe these are quite few changes, the mod should be compatible with most other mods.

• English
• Korean
• Japanese by zafil4
• Chinese by Lunar Traveller
• Russian by Blazing 4lum3n and yaroslavs2003
• Russian (alternative) by «PeGaS»
• German by Fyren85

• Cadence - the creator of CELWGUI
• Scradegn - provided polished descriptions
• oh no - provided polished descriptions
• C Moore - contributed on the update for Libra (v3.3.*)
