### Stellaris Localisation File Content Example

Source: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_tutorial

Define localisation keys and their corresponding text. Use $ signs to reference other localisation keys, which Stellaris will automatically translate.

```yaml
l_english:
 tutmod_civic: "Semper Exploro"
 tutmod_civic_desc: "This society prioritised scientific exploration over military expansion in the early space age."
 tutmod_civic_effects: "Start with a $science$ and assigned $scientist$ instead of $OUTLINER_FLEETS$."

```

```yaml
l_braz_por:

 tutmod_civic:0 "Semper Exploro"
 tutmod_civic_desc:0 "This society prioritised scientific exploration over military expansion in the early space age."
 tutmod_civic_effects:0 "Start with a $science$ and assigned $scientist$ instead of $OUTLINER_FLEETS$."

### Stellaris Mod Descriptor: Main File

Source: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_tutorial

This is the primary descriptor file for a local Stellaris mod. It includes metadata, version information, and the crucial `path` directive pointing to the mod's root folder.

```plaintext
version="0.1"
tags={
	"Gameplay"
}
name="Tutorial Mod"
supported_version="v3.13.*"
path="C:/Users/OldEnt/Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/mod/tutmod"

### Modify a Custom Civic

Source: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_tutorial

Demonstrates how to comment out code using the # symbol and define a custom civic key.

```text
 # civic_beacon_of_liberty = {
 tutmod_civic = {
 	potential = {
 		ethics = {
 			NOT = {
 				value = ethic_gestalt_consciousness
 			}
 		}
 		# authority = {
 		# 	NOT = {

 	}
 }
```

--------------------------------

### Declare Event Namespace

Source: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_tutorial

```

--------------------------------

### Stellaris Mod Descriptor: Root Folder File

Source: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_tutorial

This descriptor file resides within the mod's root folder and contains metadata and version information. It omits the `path` directive, as it's intended for internal use within the mod's directory structure.

```plaintext
version="0.1"
tags={
	"Gameplay"
}
name="Tutorial Mod"
supported_version="v3.13.*"
```

--------------------------------

### Stellaris Localisation File Naming Convention

Source: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_tutorial

To support multiple languages, copy the base localisation file to language-specific folders and adjust the language declaration. File names should follow the pattern `localisation\<language>\tutmod_l_<language>.yml`.

```plaintext
\localisation\english\tutmod_l_braz_por.yml
\localisation\english\tutmod_l_english.yml
\localisation\english\tutmod_l_french.yml
\localisation\english\tutmod_l_german.yml
\localisation\english\tutmod_l_japanese.yml
\localisation\english\tutmod_l_korean.yml
\localisation\english\tutmod_l_polish.yml

### Stellaris Modding: Missing Localisation Keys

Source: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_tutorial

```plaintext
Localisation key tutmod_civic is not defined for English
Localisation key tutmod_civic_desc is not defined for English

```

--------------------------------

### Define Civic Conditions in Stellaris Modding

Source: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Modding_tutorial

Use OR, NOR, and other logic blocks to define the conditions under which a civic can be chosen. Ensure localisation keys exist for tooltips.

```plaintext
OR = {
	text = civic_tooltip_materialist
	value = ethic_materialist
	value = ethic_fanatic_materialist
}

```

```plaintext
# civic_beacon_of_liberty = {
 tutmod_civic = {
 	potential = {
 		ethics = {
 			NOT = {
 				value = ethic_gestalt_consciousness # No gestalt. 
 			}
 		}
 		# authority = {
 		# 	NOT = {
 		# 		value = auth_corporate
 		# 	}
 		# }
 	}
