Description
Many new species – and more!
This Mod adds up to 19 new, custom made species to Stellaris!
Every Species comes with a individual background, which is connected to the others. Take out your old rival or restore your species lost empire – there’s a lot of lore for roleplaying!
This mod also adds 5 new citytypes (four only for prescripted species), 2 new shiptype (one only for prescripted species), 18 new starting systems, some new and some edited portraits, over 15 new namelists, new unique deposits (for specific homeworlds), lot of emblems & backgrounds, unique planet modifiers, more then 20 new species traits, a new species class with some unique gameplay machnaics – and much more!
The mod is splitted since v3.0. Every species is available as a single mod. Due this, you can just deactivate the species you don’t like via the launcher.
Do you want to play with the Cyrons, but you absolutely don’t like the Qerenth? With version 3.0 this is no longer a Problem!
Since Paradox changed lot of game mechanics since Megacorp, I had to rework this entire mod. Most major changes in v5.0 are the empire starting setups, the Parasite trait, the Pandora game mechnic and the Spice.
– In version 4.x.x, most custom prescripted empires had an unique homeworld, based on the System initializer. In v5.0, most of this is reached by different, new origins.
– I decided to remove the Parasite trait completly. By gameplay aspects, it was nearly the same like Necrophage. From a modders perspective, it was hard as hell – or impossible – to achieve the old trait based parasites within the new pop & pop growth system. For RP, the parasite species of this Mod, Shemei and Seth, works very well as Necrophages.
– Due the changes by Paradox, it was no longer possible to do a new species type like the Prometheans. I’d had to change so many vanilla files, that this Mod would become incompatible with many other mods. After trying to still get it realized for hours, I decided to give up. Now, there’s just an origin which spawns the Pandora Machine on your homeworld. The machine produces Promethean Ships, Armies or Leaders. They cost some upkeep, but have very special abilities!
– The Spice is now a full strategic resource you have to farm the classic way. If you have Spice on a world, you can research an tech to build refineries. With the strategic resource, you can do some special edicts or sell it for lot of cash.
– It is no longer possible to adjust a species after game start without any issues. Due that, it was no longer possible to keep all portraits in a V-Mods species catagory (or, it is possible, but there species class would be V-Mods the entire game, which looks horrible). The Seth got their own category, while the species class V-Mods was renamed to humanoid. So, you have two humanoid species classes to choose from, one vanilla, one of this mod. This is not the best looking solution, but it works and is much better then immersion breaking “V-Mods” species class species ingame.

Install Info:
This Mod contains only the basic files (like traits, namelists, System initializers etc.). To use one of the custom species, click on the pic below and subscribe the specific mod. If you like to have them all, check out this collection.
You also have then to activate the species separatly in the launcher.
The ‘Ascellian Free Traders’ species need additionally the mod ‘Decadence Unlimited’ to work proper.
The ‘Pandora Hierarchy’ species need additionally the mod ‘V-Mods – Robotics’ to work proper.
If you want to use the ‘Randomized Spawn’ Add-on, make sure that none of the basic species submods are activated. Otherwise you will get duplicated species.
Available Species:
Importand Notes:
– All (in the launcher) activated species will spawn ALWAYS.
– I’ve added a modified version of the Sol-system. This was necesary to avoid a duplicated Alpha Centauri system because the ‘Centauri Dominion’ uses Alpha Centauri as starting system. (Alpha Centauri is now no longer neighboring Sol)
– These new species are mainly for roleplaying, don’t expect good balancing 😉
– English isn’t my main language. Don’t expect a shakespearean localisation. I will try my best, but google translate is my friend.
– At empire creation, you get two “Humanoid” species classes listed for portraits. One contains the vanilla portraits, the other the mod’s content. This is mainly for mod compatability.
– The “Autogamy” trait is free. You can choose it with every species type (AI will never choose it), but in most cases, it will be unusefull since only matriarchal species can’t procreate without another species.
Planned Features:
– Individual starting screen for all species
– Custom anomalies & events
– General optimization
– Portrait optimization
– Additional species
– Pandora origin rework
– Individual name list for all 16 species
– Individual starting sectors for all 16 species
– More traits/modifiers
– Some more unique buildings
– “Spice” as strategic ressource
– Some additional Robot portraits
Trivia:
– House Atreides is my tribute to Frank Herberts “Dune” which I really love!
– The Empire of Tsun is a tribute to the Sunrider Games and Ace Academy.
– The Centauri Dominion is the successor to a custom made Faction in a Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri mod, made by myself.
– The Order of Cyron is my main Species with whom I normally play.
– The Shemei Covenant is my main Species with whom I normally play.
– The Seth are from a dream I once had.
– The Jehudi are inspired by the (medieval) Ashkenazi and the modern era Lehi
