This page is about how to modify existing or add new Ethics to the game.
Data Structure[编辑 | 编辑源代码]

- cost = <int> - Number of ethic points this ethic cost.
- category = <ethic category key> - Category of this ethic.
- category_value = <int> - Index of this ethic under its category.
- If there is an ethic axis called "A - B", so we have FA, A, B, and FB and their "category_value" will be: 0, 1, 3, 4.

Ethic Categories[编辑 | 编辑源代码]
There is only one entry that defines ethic categories. New ethic categories can be added to this.
ethic_categories = {
col = {}
xen = {}
mil = {}
spi = {}
hive = {}
}
GUI Modding[编辑 | 编辑源代码]
Empire creation view is "interface/customize_species_editor.gui". There is a window that contains all buttons for ethic options. New ethics can't be made visible without modding this file.
