New Save Game is Not Required

New & Updated Features

Mod updated for Stellaris 4.5 (No significant coding changes required for this update)

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where the Matter-Energy Manipulation ascension perk would never appear as an option, which prevented building the Strategic Resource Factory.
Fixed a bug where Bio Explorers did not have the same build limit as regular Explorers.
Fixed a bug where Bio Explorer build costs required alloys instead of food.
Fixed a coding bug with the Bio Offspring Mauler.
Fixed a bug where the System Agriculture Terminal couldn't be build due to not recognizing a colonized planet in the system.
Fixed a bug where the Thermophile Strike Cruiser had its ship sections in the wrong positions, making it look like the middle section was missing.
Other miscellaneous minor code bug fixes.

Mod Backend/Coding Changes

None.

Some issues found running NSC3 on 4.5.2 (from the files + error.log):
1. interface/solar_system.gfx (full copy) drops vanilla GFX_ship_counter_16/64/128 -> "warped_consciousness ... unknown sprite ship_counter_128", the psionic ship has no map icon.
2. ship_sizes/20_nemesis.txt: crisis_corvette/destroyer/cruiser lack vanilla's possible_country (Nomad operational reserves) and the doctrine/crisis ai_ship_data (still fraction = 33). battleship + Overlord offspring hulls also lack doctrine_composition_weight.
3. nsc_starbase_modules.txt: count_starbase_modules type = solar_panel, the 4.5 key is solar_panel_network. nsc_starbase_buildings.txt:132/135: module 'hatchery' doesn't exist.
4. !nsc_scripted_variables.txt:106-107: @titan_reactor_power_6 defined twice, 8000 is ignored.
5. nsc_ship_sizes.txt:633: explorationship default_behavior = Line (capital L, undefined).
6. nsc_on_actions.txt calls nsc_events_mothball.4/.7/.9, which don't exist.
Thanks for the mod!

Like it's probably a problem caused by any of my other activated mods, but does anyone else have problems with filling out entertainer jobs? They seem to fill out fine when their is no starbase module that makes those jobs, but if their is one none of my pops want to become entertainers.

Hey Guys,

I have made a bug fix mod myself. If you want to you could copy it over into your mod and apply the fixes there if you like: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3800833296

Hey everyone, the reason that NSC has not updated yet is because it works fine, 4.5 did not change anything that affects NSC. We're working on some known bugs, and it's going a bit slowly due to life and work schedules. We will release an update sometime soon, but the mod is safe to use right now, and the update will most likely not require a new save game.
