The Modapocalypse (Patreon)

So as you may know, the Stellaris update 1.8 and its accompanying Synthetic Dawn DLC came out on Thursday. And if you're wondering why I haven't made any announcements, that's because the update made some very aggressive API changes that broke all species-related mods, existing and future. And I've been busy dealing with the fallout.

Both Asari Civ and SCX have been updated but personally I can't recommend playing the game with mods until patch 1.8.1 is released.

The good news is that Wiz promised to fix the situation. Unfortunately, we have no ETA and probably won't hear from Paradox again until at least Monday.

In the meantime, I have set up a community initiative aimed at cataloguing all custom species mods and manually adding them to a central framework that makes them playable again - Universal Traits for Custom Species

With the help of concerned users and other modders, I've been able to cover 57 mods and 117 custom species so far.

We hope this is just temporary and that the promised hotfix will render this time-consuming project obsolete. Until then, I will do my best to keep species mods alive and help their authors in any way I can.

I'm terribly sorry for the unannounced change of priorities! ._. I promise everything will go back to normal as soon as the Modapocalypse is over.

Thank you for your patience, I love you!
