Better ESG Opinions
This mod os the esg compatible version of better pop opinions and it improves the political ideologies of the different pops in the game to make more sense with their lore/gameplay as well as make some other minor changes.
The mod also changes the descriptions of political afiliations to be more consistent and better describe the ideologies.
This mod is incompatible with vanilla and any other mod that changes how factions work.
Changelog:
Faction traits have = chance of appearing
Made lux preferences not arbitrary for minors so now they’re based on their traits and politics rather than just going from lux 1-8 or 9-16. (so for example eco industrialists get the 3 food luxes and 3 indi luxes)
Increased the variety of starting planets for minors from just 1 to a lot more depending on the faction.
Basryxo changed category from primitive to scavenger (i don’t think i have to explain these, they are kinda common sense)
Niris changed category from primitive to scavenger
KalTikMas changed category from primitive to advanced
