Description:

Version: 1

Purpose:
1.) Readjusts Silicoid to have some perks like they did in MoO2.
2.) Adds "Lavaforming" technology based on WhatIsSol’s "Silicoid Madness" Mod, but made slightly more fair.

Prerequisites:

1.) 5X Ultimate Balance Mod
2.) Unofficial Code Patch
3.) 5X UCP Compatability Mod

Installation:
1.) Follow your directory for Steam to steamappsworkshopcontent298050
2.) Select the folder with this mod inside.
3.) Go into the "racial_traits" folder in this mod, select all the image files and copy them.
4.) Follow your directory for Steam to steamappscommonMaster of OrionMasterOfOrion_DataStreamingAssetsassetsracial_traits
5.) Paste the image files you copied into the above folder.
6.) All set!

Patch Notes and Known Bugs:

1.) To play the mod, make sure your Mods in the Mod menu are in the following order:
– 5X Ultimate Balance Mod
– Unofficial Code Patch
– 5X UCP Compatability Mod
– Mike’s Silicoid Mod v1
If you set the mods out of order, the gameplay won’t reflect the changes.

2.) Adds Lavaforming Technology to help the Crag take over the galaxy, converting one planet to volcanic or inferno at a time.
3.) Gives the Crag "Tolerant" like they had in MoO2.
4.) Repulsive causes the Diplomacy screen to look jumbled.
5.) Sometimes on single player if the Silicoid are a computer player, they can request Embassy. Haven’t figured out how to stop that. Still trying to solve this one.

Race Descriptions and Traits:

***Traits were based on the 20 point system from the 5X-UBM, UCP, and 5X-CPCM.***

*Lava Breather: Uber Planet Inferno + Inferno Buildings (6), Volcanic Homeworld (-5)
– This race doesn’t breathe a mere gas concentration, but hot magma that would heat the surface of most planets.
*Seismological: Lavaforming (3), Tolerant (5), Pollution Control -25% (-2)
– This race understands the seismic activity of planets in depth after many years of studying their own. By manipulating the planet’s core, this race has perfected gravity tolerance and transforming most planets into volcanic and inferno planets.
*Xenophobic: Repulsive (-5), Command Points -15% (-2), Assimilation Power -50% (-1)
– This race has a general fear and despise for lifeforms unlike themselves.
*Lithovore (20)
– Consuming rocks instead of living organisms for sustanance, this race depends entirely on a planet’s mineral richness to grow its population and sees little use for plant or animal life.
*Homeworld Minerals: Rich (3)
– This race’s homeworld is a mineral rich planet. It allows faster production than normal planets.
*Population growth (-8)
– Population growth is slower than normal.

Thanks for taking the time to read the whole thing. Enjoy!
