Trees stupid ideas and future projects -all in one

[TreeM4n]

The great MJ recycle porject

• Origin: Eldritch Custodian
• massive psionic entity without aim ( or ftl drive) in orbit hostile to most ( except you)
• over time learn to understand it
• feed it souls to help it return to the shroud
• you get some perks when leveling up your shroud entity ( shard world, tainting bombardment, decision to align with shroud or against)
• shard world rework: pilgrims limited and no longer produce mmodifiers ( district have that value and mult it with number of pilgrims)
• final battle to return it and gain a wish ( center will the system of the entity )
• maybe custom aura / minor patron

Broken clock rework/ additions

• this totally rewrites the "cause" of disapperance aftersome time, removes the aspect of the literally ticking clock and adds a curse to it, curse feeds on crystals / organics, not sure if this is wanted
• every form has access to and is cursed by a crystal infestation
• all: conquered planets turn to crystal worlds ( uninhabitable worlds with terraforming candidate modifier )
• machine: use the crystal curse to turn all organics into power crystals for themself. they power the broken clock with it, if they fail to provide, they disappear
• terravore: slowly turn to mindless crystal statues if they dont feed on others, if they dont obtain enough there empire freezes in place ( and not deletes itself)
• crystal curse situation on empire

Special systems / unique worlds / small event chains

Mortis Chorus

Lore:
A semi sentient cluster of psionically active spores / mushrooms. Thrieving on rot and decay, their instincts is to excalerate spoil any living being and turn the rest to rust. Their united will generates a system spanning aura. Using weapon to turn even the healthiest being into a deseased corpse.

Mechanics:

Gamestart:

• a single system contains spore like shipsand a planet with unique mortis fungus modifier (recycle root world looks)
• Spore ships use weaponry to turn space fauna into undead versions, bioships into more spores and mechanical into spore hosts ( mutated versions )
• have small spore ships ( crystalline entity particles only retextured + cetana system aura) which infect wild life, look like dandelion seeds, many form a cloud per ship entity

Midgame:

• the system and shrooms "awake" psionically and form a sapient hive
• they now leave the system to look for hosts and gain shield points
• as they apporach their target they cloak until close enough ( if dlc ), target can also be neutral space fauna
• undead space fauna and infected ships are used to infect planets
• infected planets have a % of their pops turned to deseased ( zombie + psionic trait + hive?)
• if a large number of deseased exist on aa planet, a connection to the hive will be established and the pops will spawn armies
• if the planet is taken over, new spore ships can be spawned

Lategame:

• the shrooms ascends and have their own psionic aura ( if dlc )
• aura: turns pops to deseased on complete and gives bonus production to zombie pops, aura strenght based on pops and reach based on owned planets
• "mother ships" appear, they spawn more spores in combat and are colussus for instant shroom worlds

New content:

• spore space fauna and infection weapons, mothership space fauna
• new aura
• new bombardment type
• new system and country type + situation to track asecension
