I installed this plus enabled it but now Soase won't load at all. The sceen only shows the fist. Please help!!

It is now ...

Any plans for a non-DLC version?

I was just wondering if your mod has any DLC features as required for functionality.

Yes, but does it require the DLC in order to run, or is it just compatible with the DLC?

not seeing in any of the research through colonization to colonize planets such as oceanic, jungle, etc.  just giant and hi-tec

I have the same problem, and I have not.  You should disable those planet types from being loaded for those without the DLC.

I remember what I did ... I changed some of the Maelstrom planet research types to the new DLC planet types ... bugg..er. I'll change them back in the next release

The Replicators bombardment research is blocked due to Planetary Weapons research being removed.

I read that you removed lots of research.  I was happy... until I loaded up the game.

I think you added just as much as your "removed".  The tech trees still look like an entangled mess with far too much on each faction.

It's not really that much of a tangled mess. I found it logical and no more difficult to follow than the original 3 races. I think you're just not used to these new races. Balance is pretty much on par with the original 3 races (granted there are some balance issues in the base Rebellion game, but that's not the fault of the modder). The Replicators are a bit OP in the end, but this is by design, since they have research costs that are twice as costly. I find that a good addition to the game and would oppose nerfing the Replicators in this regard. Otherwise, balance-wise, I found this mod to be acceptable. There are real tradeoffs to be made by choosing between Loyalist vs Rebellion factions.

I seem to be having issues though with your website. The website, http://www.soase-maelstrom.com/ does not seem to be working on a smartphone (I use Android Dolphin browser).

The one recommendation I would like to make is for you to set up a forum for people to discuss balance, strategy, etc, specifically for this mod, rather than leaving it all in this thread.

Hi, I am using your mod and so far its great except one problem.

For some reason, the planet graphics seems to be glitched.

-> Planet graphics without Maelstrom = Perfect

-> Planet graphics with Maelstrom = The graphics get cut at the poles of the planet (as you can see on the right).

Same thing occurs to Volcanic and Desert Planets, but not Asteroids and Dwarf Planets.

I am only using Maelstrom mod. Is there a way to solve it?

All the graphic settings are highest.

Computer is Windows 8 64-bit, 8Gb, i7 processor (up to 3.2GHz) if that matters.
