This mod is very lightweight due to majority of its changes is purely on numbers and individual entries so nothing will break even if these files were overwritten by some other mods.

CHANGELOG
v82 - Released 2023-12-16
Removed the 15 building slots in define file.
v81 - Released 2023-12-06
Fixed a social repeatable tech not increasing a leader's lifespan.
v80 - Released 2023-11-25
3.10 Update - Removed the outdated interface folder and descriptor bump.
v79 - Released 2023-09-21
Updated to 3.9. Added a low-priority camera define.
v78 - Released 2023-09-18
Last update before 3.9: - Added a cap of 100 to several repeatable technologies with doubling the effect. - Rewrote only military-related jobs for the Fallen Empires. - Fixed the number of ships of a Fallen Empire to 2 Titans, 10 Battlecruisers and 25 Escorts. - Fixed an issue that it takes forever to load a new game due to repeatable of FE being set to 20 in defines. - A few minor changes to prepare for 3.9.
v77 - Released 2023-09-10
Added a repeatable for ascension perk for 24 levels. Increased the cap of some repeatables to 200. Deleted the FE building icons in this mod, it is time to return them to EUTAB since the mod has an unofficial update to even now. A bit polishing here and there.
v76 - Released 2023-08-27
+ Changed the name of building icons so they would not change the FE buildings anymore due to obvious issue with ACOT and ZOFE. + It is unknown if I can find a way to use these icons in the future since most of these are from ETHOS and some old mods.
v75 - Released 2023-08-26
Removed those few redundant ACOT-supported codes that do not work and annoying to see.
v74 - Released 2023-08-15
v73 - Released 2023-08-15
Some minor changes and removal of overwritten fallen empire file because it kept overwriting ACOT and AOT's FE initializers, changed and put cap on severale repeatable technologies. If anyone still cares out there, I'm going to do something about the rest of abandoned mods into completely new mods because it is an eyesore seeing their sad state.
v72 - Released 2023-07-11
Lowered survey speed of science ship to 0.20 and increased influence for starbase to 250.
v71 - Released 2023-07-11
Increased Base Leader Cap to 10.
v70 - Released 2023-07-10
Fixed some minor inconveniences.
v69 - Released 2023-07-09
There was supposed to be a feature with more ascension slots and tradtion slots but I forgot to add the later.
v68 - Released 2023-07-09
Removed a few redundant features: - No more three civic points due to some unintended consequences. - No more overwriting FE buildings to avoid conflicts doing things with FEs such as ZOFE. - Default AIs will not receive the small resource modifier anymore seeing they are in a better spot now. - Buffed the resource modifier the Awakened Empires will receive in exchange for removing the overwritten FE buildings. - Reduced the number of ships and fleets an FE can spawn on gamestart.
v67 - Released 2023-06-17
A small rework on this mod: - Increase compatibility - Small optimization of events - Fallen Empires get respective megastructures - Fallen Empires get firepower buff - Awakened Empires will receive major resource and shipbuilding buff. - Awakened Empires can upgrade starbases. - Great Khan will receive a moderate firepower buff.
v66 - Released 2023-05-26
Update: - Removed the overwritten of crisis files and scripted_effects, it is better to let mods like Crisis Manager and Great Khan Expanded doing things carelessly overwriting files.
v65 - Released 2023-05-20
3.8 Update: - Merged A Better Stellaris and Stronger Spaceborne into A Personal Stellaris. - Trimming down contents from A Better Stellaris for highest compatibility and maintenance. - Removed Planetary Expansion as they have became a pain to maintain and update. - Stronger Spaceborne's content is made to rewrite only specific parts and will only buff Leviathans and Enclaves, hence, higher compatibility instead of having to rewrite the entire file. - Crisis' non-combat ships are much tougher to destroy. - 15 Building Slots and 12 District Slots. - 20 Ascension Slots and an UI for that for modded games.
v64 - Released 2022-04-29
- Expanded the planetview and tradition UI, allowing up to 18 buildings to be built on a planet and you can have up to 30 traditions and 30 ascension perks in the case you have some ascension perks or traditions mods.
v63 - Released 2022-04-23
- Solved the problem being unable to build starbases with this mod on - as long as there is a ship_sizes folder in this mod, starbase will become unbuildable even if the files did not touch the vanilla starbases. - It is unknown the how and why of this since other mods were working fine like the Six Fallen Empires mod. - Regardless, I have to delete the folder, which leads to some devastating consequences - Behemoth is gone for good, starbases will return to the vanilla state and Crisis' civilian ships and starbases will remain weak as ever. - In short, a save-breaking update that causes a loss of much contents and requires you to start a new game. - Much apologize for this inconvenience, but I couldn't find anything to my case and I'm too burnt out for this. - In compensation, I made the additional starbase modules and building to provide some decent shipyard capacities and building speed, since it seemed offensive modifiers are not working anymore.
v62 - Released 2022-04-20
Rewrite the name of event files for them to be prioritized.
v61 - Released 2022-04-20
- Reduced the number of starting fleets for FEs, since they always spawn with 7 fleets, one Colossus and one Behemoth, which should be enough to protect themselves quite long in a vanilla or light-modded game. - This is experimental, but I included Ascended Empire and Lost Empire to is_regular_empire script due to many districts only available to vanilla empire types, which could cause some rough times if you choose to ascend in ZOFE.
v60 - Released 2022-04-20
Tweak some numbers in defines so ships can move between systems and survey faster even if still slower than vanilla value.
v59 - Released 2022-04-19
Could have just overwrote the script to generate FE Outpost to be a citadel instead of overwriting the initializer of FEs for less hassle. Also tweaked some lines in defines to further lower the fleet power, worked way well.
v58 - Released 2022-04-18
Removed the Frigate (Medium FE Ship) due to an unidentifiable problem that caused the ship to be missing when using with weapon mods such as ESC or Additional Vanilla Weapons and Components. Likewise, fleet composition was altered to adapt to the absence of Frigate.
v57 - Released 2022-04-17
Reduce the distance the AI won't do stupidity like building a starbase in an empty spot in the middle of the territory of another empire.

Add support for Gigastructural Engineering to Planetary Expansion. Add FixScroll to deal with broken scrollbar.
