Mod «Ancient Cache of Technologies» for Stellaris (v3.4.*)

Ancient Cache of Technology explores the stories of the ancient enigmatic precursors, including the Curators, the Fallen Empires and those that came before them. Behind their history lies great many secrets yet to be rediscovered.

The Fallen Empires thought they mastered the Enigmatic Power, their dark matter and energy weapons supreme. But for how long? What if an empire manages to rise and learn their secrets, what if they surpass the known knowledge of the past, and forge a new future thought impossible?

This mod introduces a large varieties of new technologies based on the enigmatic powers. From ship weapons, to buildings, to armies or planetary decisions. Technologies are categorized into tiers, and there are event chains that each empire has to go through to acquire them...or steal them from the others.

Furthermore, the mod buffs the existing Fallen Empire worlds to be much harder to invade, with their home citadels now fully protected, their outlying planets now have proper FE-tier buildings and their armies now much harder to beat.

It also buffs and expands upon the Curator Order a lot, as well as adding an entirely new neutral leviathan-like faction who holds a massive starbase, waiting for someone to challenge them.

Features

One can be unlocked through hard exploring and efforts, and the last can be unlocked by defeating a certain faction and figures out its puzzle.
