Technokat Direktor Briefing

\\\ Das Katzdeltan Projekt \\\

No word, or document, of this briefing is to leave your persons, as per blackout parameters.

Katown has sent the authorisation for a highly secretive project to study the nature of the exotic matter that permeates the galaxy, hidden beneath the gravitic folds of black holes.

While there is evidence that it can be utilised to great effect, within the realms of the elder empires, and throughout traces of precursor civilisation, a more thorough study must be completed to analyse its true extent.

If it is found to be suitable for mass-scale application across the Imperium, it is paramount that we discover this use, there is no doubt this will grant us unrivalled power growth.

A blacksite has been marked out in Imperium territory, fringe region, zero through traffic - you and all your senior team are to report there immediately after the institute enters its dusk cycle.

The Katzen High Command has sent Douclaw himself to orchestrate the relocation, and secrecy, of this project. The Katzenarmee is already situated outside the institute - a cover story no doubt is currently public, but the true purpose is to ensure total information control.

Attempts to leave the institute prior to dusk cycle will be met with force.

The Kaiser will expect great things from this project, failure is unacceptable.

Glory to the Kaiser.

Playable Katzenartig - Ancient Caches is a submod of a submod of Gigastructural Constructs as well as Ancient Caches of Technology.

As the Katzen, you gain access to a plethora of the crises’ buildings, and I loved the ability to have them and remain true to the thematic of the Katzen - though this posed a problem, they were simply outclassed by buildings within Ancient Caches and Acquisition of Tech.

This mod seeks to alleviate that issue, by creating new variants of the associated buildings, adapted to the tiers within ACOT, allowing the Katzen flavour of planetary constructions to remain available for those that use it.

We didn’t stop quite there, though.

The unique weapons utilised by the Katzen, such as on the submarine and tank, would also eventually be outclassed by the ACOT equivalents - for the submarine specifically, this was particularly nasty, as its extreme range was not matched by the higher tier components.

That too, is alleviated by having equivalent components within the ACOT tier associated, allowing the special components to remain useful as you ascend through the enigmatic armoury.

Do note that this means that slots that already have ACOT tier components may not be given additions, such as those of the armour components.

As for the acquisition of the technologies, they are all unlocked by having the respective Katzen tech and ACOT/AOT reactor unlocked - eg: The Katzdeltan Megareactor requires the Katzen Megareactor tech and the Delta Reactor tech, some weapons like the Submarine Torpedo and Tank Cannon just require the ACOT/AOT reactor, as they are unlocked by default with the ship - the Lunar and Planet artilleries, by comparison, will require their techs, which you unlock when constructing the Kaiser Moon and Kaiser Planet respectively.

While this mod does add a reactor for Katzen ships, it doesn’t add one for celestial craft, for ACOT Tier Celestial Reactors, check out this already existing mod by someone else on the workshop: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2789654058

Truly live the Stellarite Kaiser experience at the peak of your power.

Join in on the wild ride, and there may be more to come.
