Stellaris 4.4 | compatibility patch | requires Ethics and Civics Classic and Gigastructural Engineering & More

Both mods ship their own copy of two vanilla files, and the one loaded later (usually Ethics and Civics Classic) silently replaces the other:

• common/espionage_operation_types/pre_ftl_operations.txt and the five pre-FTL diplomatic actions - Gigastructural marks its special pre-FTL civilisations (Katzen, Corrona, Paluush ...) with a flag so that vanilla pre-FTL espionage/diplomacy is not available against them. E&C's versions lack that flag, so these operations and actions become available against Giga's primitives and can derail their story chains (the AI uses them too).
• common/inline_scripts/pop_categories/social_classes_triggered_modifiers.txt - Gigastructural appends eight robot happiness/workforce modifiers used by the Matrioshka Brain uplinks; E&C's copy drops them, so those uplink bonuses apply to no pop.

This patch merges both sides.

Only if you run both Ethics and Civics Classic and Gigastructural Engineering & More.

• Pre-FTL espionage: the current vanilla 4.4.6 file with Gigastructural's flag check in all seven operations plus E&C's Primitive Player nation exclusion in the six operations E&C adds it to. (E&C's own copy of this file predates the 4.4 waystation changes; the merge uses the current logic, so nomadic empires can run these operations via waystations again.)
• Pre-FTL diplomacy: E&C's five actions (Primitive Player nation handling) plus Gigastructural's flag check and its standard-country trigger.
• Pop modifiers: E&C's version (psionic rewrite) plus Gigastructural's eight robot modifier blocks.

Nothing else from either mod is touched.

• Gigastructural Engineering & More
• Ethics and Civics Classic
• this patch - must be below both (two of the three files are same-name overrides; the diplomatic-actions file works by file name).

Ethics and Civics Classic (Primitive Nomad Update) | Gigastructural Engineering & More (4.4)

• Three files, no new content, no text of its own. Safe to add mid-game.
• Kept in sync with the current versions of both mods.

All content belongs to the authors of Ethics and Civics Classic and Gigastructural Engineering & More; this patch only merges their definitions.
