Big thank You!

@everyone The mod has just been updated to 4.2 with some additions:
- The Korean translation, thanks to SaberLove for translating!
- General bug fixes - not really, but it makes it look like a decent update, no? Haha.

Anyway, if you find any bugs or something is not right, let me know!

@RegiZero
I love your 'Change Notes" - really gave me a feel of the improvements made to the mod and the level of care and great effort you make to give your mod TLC. Thanks! Subscribed.

@SaberLove Sure, I'll add it in the next update when 4.2 comes out. Thanks!

Hello. I’ve translated the text of this mod into Korean.
I’ll leave a link to the translated file below. Please take a look, and if everything looks good, feel free to apply it.

@NocturnalCB Kind of yes, but some optimisations work best from game start. Either way, you shouldn't have any problems, and you can access the menu though the edit.

@monke Yes it does.

Is this save game compatible?

does this turn off achievements

It's working now! Thanks!

@Plauge_Dragon Hmm, maybe the order of doing things is important here as well. I would suggest unsubscribing, going into the workshop folder and deleting the numbered folder for this mod (if still there). Then, going into documents and deleting the file ugc_2184737698.mod in the mod folder (again, if still there); and finally subscribing again. If it works, great. If not, then the only other option I see here is me giving you the mod files (you can msg me on the discord server in description).

@dustreaper very bottom, yes.

Is it at the bottom of the mod list?

Okay, so unsub resub and deleting files didn't work. Any idea what I should do now?

@Wairui I have populated all of the change notes now so everything is in there.

@Wairui I do every time, it is always in the comments section, but I guess you mean that changes note section which I always forget about haha

@Plauge_Dragon It should pop up at game start or you can go into in at anytime during the game using the edict. If you don't have those then the mod must not be installing for some reason. I suggest resubscribing or going into the mod files and deleting the numbered folder entirely (2184737698).

Is there an Event ID to make the config menu pop up?

Where on the modlist should this mod go? Also, how do I open the screen shown in the screenshot? I have the mod but it's not showing up.

@Dustreaper If the AI was at war recently and got reduced to 5 planets in your case, then this should go back to normal at end of year. If not, there is something wrong haha

Hmm i am doing a observe run to check stability with my mods. I notice ai not colonizing anymore and a ai with 5 planets get's a 2M cost to colony ships.. While it's set to 60 and that should be per ai.. Is that correct maybe i need to put it lower in my mod list?

Has anyone try this mod with nsc3 yet? If so, was there any problem?

@RegiZero That sounds awesome! Funny that you got such an exact number out of your tests. 88% is pretty much enough, thanks ;)

Okay, did not realize it worked after unpausing for multiple days.

@ShinUon I tested it and if the game is paused, no ascension perk unlock with this mod until you un-pause. Not sure why but that's the only difference between with and without mod; not sure why this is an issue for you though.

@HUTIN PUILO I tested on a new game without any other mod. There isn't a cleaner way to confirm it...

My test process:
1) New game with UN on default small map.
2) On game start, I use console "unity 999999" to max out unity
3) In Traditions menu, I select Expansion category and unlock all the traditions within it.
4) On doing so, no Ascension Perks unlock.

Once I remove this mod, step 4 works correctly.

@ShinUon,
This is not AI Game Performance Optimisation mod problem.
I'm playing with UI Overhaul Dynamic + UI Overhaul Dynamic - Ascension Slots and all slots unlock perfectly.

P.S. This issue didn't occur the last time I played with this mod, which was back on v3.12.

Something in this mod is preventing Ascension Perk slots from unlocking.

I'm testing with a new game and traced it to this mod. Even tested with only this mod enabled to be sure.

@Crytek @ellenweorc @Verryn I just updated with a correction that took a while, but according to my tests, you'll be happy to know that the lag you were experiencing per year has now been reduced by 88% :D

@Crytek @ellenweorc @Verryn I think I know what it is so I'll update today and we'll see if that fixes it.

Yep hope Regi can find a solution :) I have every performance otion enabled in my games

Noticing longer and longer auto save time when this mod is enabled.

The autosave lag started in 2285 in my game and crashed it in 2350 otherwise this is a good mod

Thank you.

@ellenweorc I tried to make this mod as compatible with everything as possible and this is no exception, so it should be fine.

Will the AI ship behavior conflict with compact armadas?

@[IGA] Crytek Alright, I got a similar report from one other person so I'll try replicate this and resolve it in the next update, thanks!

I do like the mod, year 2402 in 800 galaxie and it still goes fairly well. One issue that started to trickle in at around year 2300 however is the year save at 01.01 taking longer and longer. What started at one second is now around 10 and it keeps increasing. In 2500 I imagine it may take half a minute if not more.

Those seconds might not seem bad but during the time the game isnt responding and I start to fear it crashing eventually.

@danielreddick68 Should not matter, unless I messed up haha

Should this be placed before or after Ultimate Automation?

Understood Regi, appreciate the response. I went ahead and tried it on a game in progress and there was a significant performance increase. I suspect it would be even better in a fresh game but I was trying not to lose hours of progress. Appreciate your hard work with this mod, it's much appreciated.

@NickSheperd That's quite a broad question but generally speaking, some optimisations will work and some will not.

Does this work with total conversion mods?

Ohh okay thx, I might need to double check

@Pinenuts Oops, missed your question haha. No, they should stop building them but there are a couple of considerations to be made like them taking some over through war. I try to double check if it still works when I get the chance, and update if it's indeed not working as expected.

@WAFFEL E100 For further performance improvements check out this mod: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3576670054

it makes fleet more compacter/smaller while still retaining their usual fleet power.

AI keeps building habitats but they do not colonize over the limit that is 3 (I guess). So the mod optimization kinda works but is it normal?

fair enough. thanks for the information.

@WAFFEL E100 There are a couple factors why you may be experiencing this; one is you have to wait till year end, and the second is tech, where it needs to have either frigate, destroyer, cruiser, and/or battleship tech. If you want more info and whatnot it's probably better if you hop on the discord server cause it's getting a bit lengthy in here haha
