Equestrian Origins Mod
Equestrian Origins Mod
Dependencies
This mod requires the following mods to function, make sure they are installed and above this one in the load order.
- – This mod has the many pony assets such as portraits and a namelist that Equestrian Origins uses.
The mod better tailors the Pony Stuff mod to Equestrian Origins but is not required (see below)
Description
This mod is meant to be a highly customizable Origin mod for stellaris that can fit whatever headcannon you may have about the future of Equestria in the FiM universe.
Here is a list of things that this mod currently adds:
- Two authorities Eternal (immortal ruler) and Benevolent Dictatorship
- An Origin that starts you on a gaia world with several different species
- A starting solar system that has a black hole as it’s star called Equis
Patch Mod
The Pony Stuff mod adds many assets used by this mod but it also adds possibly unneeded/unwanted things such as old civics (which this mod replaces) and AI pony spawns, and it clutters the portraits menu. I have removed these things, but since you may want them and there is the potential for compatibility issues I have made it a separate optional mod. I do recommend installing it for the best experience.
You can find it , make sure it is below this and the Pony Stuff mod in the load order.
How it works
There are several prescripted countries included as examples, they can be found at the bottom of the saved countries list.
To create your own you can do the following:
While creating your country chose Equestrian Origins as your origin. This origin can spawn the following species on your homeworld: Pony, Kirin, Reformed or Original Changeling, Griffin and Dragon. You will have the choice between spawning 4 or all of these, more on this below.
You can setup your main species as any of the above listed or something else, and setup the rest of your empire as you see fit.
Start the game and let it progress to day 2 (due to modding limitations in stellaris).
You will be prompted to specify which of the following is your main species: Pony, Kirin, Changeling, Griffin, Dragon or Other, the game will spawn all except for the one you selected (or all in the case you chose Other).
If you did not say Changelings are your main species it will ask you if you want Reformed or Original to be Spawned.
Future
Here is a list of things I want to/may add in the future:
- Equestrian specific events and an Origin Event chain
- Equestrian specific relics (such as the Elements)
- Equestrian specific technologies
- AU origins such as FOE
- Make a rogue planet system (not sure if possible) and Correct lighting in the equis system
Feel free to let me know about bugs, balance recommendations or ideas for additions. Keep in mind this is a personal project and all I can promise is that I will listen.
