This is the updated version of the New Enclaves mod originally made by lpslucasps.

I've decided to fork his repo and maintain the mod since he has been inactive for the last 16 months. Contributions are welcome and encouraged.

This mod adds 3 new enclaves to the game.

The Universal Hive (Hive Enclave)

The Universal Hive is a hive enclave with which all players can interact. They believe that the entire Universe is alive and that everyone is connected with each other to some degree. In exchange for some Energy they can help you achieve many things:

• increase Society Research by 10% for 10 years;
• increase Stability by 5 points for 10 years;
• hire a special governor if you are also a hive.

The Prime Machines

The Prime Machines are an enclave of ancient self-aware machines. They pretend to be the first machines in recorded history to achieve self-awareness. They are more advanced than any synth you can make. The Prime Machines don’t trust and will refuse to interact with Fanatic Purifiers, Devouring Swarms, Spiritualists and empires that outlaw robots. Other empires can give them some Energy for the following bonuses:

• increase Engineering Research by 10% for 10 years;
• hire a special machine governor which will increase the output of robotic pops by 10%;
• one time purchase of a tech option that once researched will unlock a new trait for your robotic pops;
• trade monthly Energy for Living Metal.

The Shroud's Children

The Shroud’s Children are an enclave of beings in a continuous connection with the Shroud. They believe that you’ve met them before, eons ago, when your physical body didn’t exist yet. They can teach you how to become one of them, for a price. Actions available:

• increase Physics Research by 10% for 10 years;
• increase Spiritualist attraction by 50% for 10 years;
• hire a special governor that will increase the Unity production with 20%;
• one time purchase of a tech option;
• trade monthly Energy for Zro.

COMPATIBILITY

This mod should be compatible with any mods that don’t overwrite the following files:

• interface/frontend.gui
• common/scripted_effects/first_contact_effects.txt
• common/pop_faction_types/00_xenoist.txt

TRANSLATION

If you want to contribute by translating the locs, you can do that on Crowdin. Once you login/register and request access to one of the languages I will grant you access to start translating it. The translations in the repo are updated every 24 hours with the new ones from Crowdin.
