Psychology mods? Increasing the role of troops?

I agree. I think that it should just be a different, not better, way to get that ability. It should be early/cost more or early/less efficient or later/cheaper, later/smaller etc.

Mostly, I just think it would be cool to have Drugged-out Crazy ships, Frothing Maniac Troops, and I've always wanted a Secret Police force of my very own.

Would a Propaganda Center that gave bonuses to Intel production, research production, and Resource production be moddable? A combo of Citizen Databank+Robotoid Factory+Computer Complex. Even if it wouldn't stack with the single facilities, you would have the advantage of only using up one slot. Of course, it would have to cost more, come later, or give a lower bonus.

Certainly. There is no practical limit to the number of abilities you can give a facility, component, etc. I suggest making that one be planet-affecting instead of system-affecting, as it would need to be close by to have an effect.

Well I'm taking my first step into a broader world. I'm going to attempt to mod this. I'm going to start with Psychotropic Drugs.

Question: Does "Combat To Hit Offense Plus" component stack with others? ie will Psychotropic Drugs stack with Combat Sensors?

As long as it is a different family, yes. Two components in the same family do not stack. But, two components in different families will stack (with that ability).

It'll stack if it is a different family. The best value from each family is added to the best value from all of the other families.

Having seperate families doesn't work with facilities though?
