A mod that allows you to select any number of precursors.

Instead of simply starting all the precursor event chains at the start of the game, this mod will wait a number of days, then ask you which precursors you want. You will then get the precursor introduction event once you scan a valid planet. If you choose more than one precursor, the next precursor will not be able to spawn until a number of months have passed.


If used in multiplayer, the host will be able to decide how precursors are chosen:

Classic: each player will be able to choose the precursors they want, with no players being able to choose the same precursors. Players will choose in a randomly determined order.

Random: each player is assigned a precursor at random. There will be no menu, nor will any player know what precursor they got until they discover it through survey.

Divided: Like random, except you get as many precursors as possible, evenly dividing the precursors among the players.

Deck of Cards: Each player is given a choice between 3 randomly selected precursors.



This mod works with the following mods which add precursors:

More Precursors adds 3 new precursors

Forgotten History adds 2 new precursors

Unavoidable Changes by Ghostman adds a new precursor

Forgotten Empires by Inny adds 5 new precursors

Precursor Story Pack by 슈팅스타], XVCV and ChupaChups adds 3 new precursors, though it is not updated for the newest version. The precursors from this mod is available in Forgotten Empires.



Can I enable this mod mid-game?
Yes. If you enable this mod mid-game, there will be an edict you can use once to bring up the precursor selection menu.

Something's wrong with the precursor home system! Is this mod to blame?
No. This mod does not change or interact with the precursor home systems in any way.

I can only get one precursor despite picking multiple!
Check if any of your other enabled mods modify the precursor introduction events. If they do, it might be a mod conflict with this mod.

Can you add XYZ precursor from XYZ mod?
Ask the mod creator to contact me so we can work together to add their precursor to the selection menu.

Does this work for multiplayer?
Yes, yes it does. The workshop description you are currently reading has a whole section for Multiplayer.
