I like to use this for Lithoid Machines

Hello Brandross!

I really liked your "Alternate Lithoid ships" mod and I was going to use them in my Stellaris mod "Species of Stellaris". It was going to be used for a flame-based species type that will be added in the mod in the near future. If you have any objections, please let me know. Thank you for your time and I hope you have an excellent day.

dude these ships are so cool wtf good job

@Brandoss The basic shipset still works, but NSC 2 parts are borked as of this moment due to changes in which parts are defined in NSC 2 Version 7. They have been replaced by the Reptilian parts (Which while making for some interesting visuals doesn't look entirely good).

"it should still work so long as they haven't done anything major to how ships function"
there were some drastic changes to ships from what the patch nots of 3.6 mentioned if i am not mistaken. F.e. we now have Frigates and ships would get certain roles. I havent yet played 3.6 but was just checking all my mods i had sofar installed which is why i stumbled upon this.

The change that affected this ship set are when NSC2 changed the ship sections with release of 3.6 , so there are issues with missing sections now.

As far as I know, it should still work so long as they haven't done anything major to how ships function. I haven't done much with Stellaris in a while, TBH.

is this compatible with the 3.6 update

wish achievments were not so picky so I could use this for iron man

Actual launcher do not permit to enable this mod, says it miss descriptor file, can you help?

if i may suggest something could you add the lithoid megastructure skins to this shipset?
i noticed when i built megastructures they lacked the lithoid stone texture

thank you this is the perfect ship set for my dwarves

is there any vanilla-replacing mod?

Nice job on the ships! This mod is now a must have for me

Any chance this ship set be updated?

Very nice looking ships. Spotted some issues with the locators though:

Juggernaut: All of the M slots are in the same place and none of the turrets show up
Cruiser: Hangar Core section has both PD slots in the same spot and turrets don't show up
Destroyer: Picket bow section doesn't follow the trend of the unique slot being central. So instead of PD in the middle with small on each side, it's PD on the side, 1 S in the middle, 1 s on the other side.
Corvette: Missile core section doesn't follow the trend of having two central slots one in front of the other (e.g. Cruiser Artillery section).

Admittedly last two are more of ocd triggering bugbears than legit issues

@Past The Future, I'm fine with that just so long as you properly credit the ships and put in a link to this mod, assuming you don't just have it set as a prerequisite for your mod.

@Brandross, I'm currently working on an event chain which I will be releasing to the workshop at some point and I was hoping to use your shipset as part of a new mid-game crisis that I will be adding. Please let me know if this is fine with you.

Hello @Brandross, you made a great mod and I'm playing it often. For multiplayer and centralised localisation, I have started a private merged-mod project. Included are theme related mods, so players get more variability and are able to load by one click. Now the positive demand seems growing beyond private quarters and it might be a good idea to change it into an official released mod. Therefore I'd like to ask your permission to have your mod included into the mod collection . I've sent you a friend invite and with your permission granted, I'd like to name you as co-author and probably start some co-working. Thank you!

is this compatible with NSC season 5?

Very nice mod! Is there any way to make a patch for Downscaled Ships?

Updated to 2.8.

I don't know if you know how to make citysets, but I have a suggestion: and what about making a Alternate Lithoid Cityset inspired in the Giant's Causeway ( https://www.ramblersholidays.co.uk/europe/united-kingdom/northern-ireland/giant-s-causeway-and-the-nine-glens )?

Cool ship sets you got yourself a follower in me!

Update on testing, when your mod is removed, the affected lithoid and mammilian shipsets habitats turn black. Whatever this mod is, it turns the habitats black and makes lithoid and modded shipsets black. However, the machine shipset is unaffected.

I can not for the life of me figure out which mod turns the habitats black. However, the arthropod shipset works fine, so thats fallback. However, the lithod and mammalian shipsets are still glitched. the lithods use the habitats from this mod, and their habitats are black. The mammalian habitat is unchanged, however it is still black.

looks awesome, if you need ideas for new shipsets..how about an actual true plantoid shipset or something like marble ships with golden trims.. something between studio ghibli technology and final fantasy 10/13 tech.

Looks amazing! I wonder why it is not more public... Maybe it should more like an hybrid of robotics!

Really nice :)

This is a really cool shipset.

any plans for a downscale patch or update?

I'm looking into the habitat issue. I think it might have something to do with the mod's file structure, but I'm not sure. If I can't get it fixed in the next day or two, I'll probably just set it to default to a vanilla model and hope that keeps the game from changing things it shouldn't. Sorry 'bout that. The coding side of things is still fairly new to me.

With a bit more testing, it turns out that the silhouette part is an issue from another mod. That being said, this mod was the cause of every habitat becoming the one from this mod.

@Trace Projectile What other mods do you have in that might mess with this? I'm also getting the black habitats, and it's most likely a mod we have in common.

This mod turns every habitat into a black silhouette of this mod's model. Please consider fixing this soon.

For some reason all of the habitats no matter which empire built them have this sets model

this mod break the game with the new habitats

FYI the thing about shipsets that changed in 2.7 was the habitats. They now use three differently named models, so in this mod they show up as black shapes.

You would probably be fine to use your existing model set at slightly different sizes in the text file, at least as a temporary measure.

Also I'm gonna make a city file inspired by this mod as I've been liking the look, and it lacks its own city (the game's fault for not having standalone ships) so that's good.

Really appriciate you did all sections!! Thank's!

Is there an update coming for the new release?

When I install it it doesn't add a new shipset or replace them, I guess I have a mod conflict.

@Jalswim
" It does NOT replace the vanilla lithoid models, but is a standalone shipset. "

ill look into this mod

Think you might make a version that adds these without replacing the default ones?

@Cyberwolf read the description mate. He says he plans on making it NSC Compatible later on

You could name this Lanius ships from FTL.

achievement compatible?

Does it work with NSC ?

Nice, we are lucky with nice shipmods these days! Great work!

Nice work!

This rocks. *drum riff*

Ok, seriously, I do like this shipset. It's cool and I think it looks appropriate for both Lithoids and your more sinister space baddies.
