Stones to Stars

This is a beta, but I no longer have any time or inclination to work on it, so it probably won’t be getting any more updates. Please carefully read the documentation before posting that it doesn’t work. This mod is a combination of my own tech tree layout and a compilation of my favorite excellent mods from around the workshop and public forums. It’s intended to be played with my other mod Empires Ascendant and is fully compatible. (It used to be somewhat independent, but now it’s codependent.)

This is not compatible with Vox Populi, Rise to Power, InfoAddict, Really Advanced Setup, or Extended User Interface.

Extended User Interface installs to the game’s DLC folder, not its MODS folder, if you’ve ever installed EUI, CP, CBP, or VP then make sure to uninstall it from there.

New Advanced Gameoptions and Natural Wonders will not appear unless playing with my other mod Empires Ascendant.

This is a large mod that alters core game files and data and necessitates a cache refresh, clear it by deleting DocumentsMy GamesCivilization 5cache & moduserdata, or you may experience severe game issues.

GunStarPL’s Quick Turns is an included mod, which overrides user settings for Quick Turns and Quick Combat. Adjust the settings from Additional Information (left of the Nuclear Overview) -> Quick Turns.
