Improved Precursors

Features

This mod buffs all of the precursors (except the Cybrex because they obviously don't need any buffs) to make them all roughly equal in value. The goal of this mod is to make hunting down your precursor's artifacts and finishing their quest an important part of every match, not just the ones you get lucky enough to roll the Cybrex :P

Additionally, this mod gives Nomadic empires +5 Max Districts to all their arkships once they finish a precursor to make up for them not being able to use the precursor planets ^^

The changes to the precursors are as follows:

• Vultaum:

  • Homeworld changed to a tomb world and increased to size 30
  • Vultaum Reality Computer gives +0.5 Society to Biologists and Engineering to Engineers
  • Relic now gives -15% pop amenities usage and +5 stability

Compatibility

This mod overrides a collection of files related to the precursors and their relics, but it should generally be compatible with other mods so long as they don't also override things related to the precursors. This mod has built-in compatibility with "Guilli's Planet Modifiers and Features" :)
