* Refined script for Operation Smear Campaign such that it should now be able to handle multiple campaigns targeting the same empire at once.

* Curbed the Galactic Emperor's extreme paranoia - not everyone is a seditionist (i.e. the Emperor can now only run the Operation Target Seditionists against rivals and countries actually undermining their authority).
* "Leviathan Down" anomaly event now gives the planet a Metal Boneyard deposit if it is inhabited, instead of granting an unlocalised one meant for orbital deposits.

* Fixed an issue where players couldn't play as the pre-scripted Human Empires.

* Updated AI tradition selection to align better with the current state of the game.
* Adjusted AI tradition tree and ascension perk selection.
* Nanite repair system will no longer be used by the auto designer when the empire does not have access to nanite income.

* Clicking the fleet size icon in the top bar now opens the fleet manager.
* Improved legibility of approximate job output indicators on districts and buildings, and made those on buildings also show country modifiers (those on districts already did).
* Optimized elements for leader upkeep and age to fit localization better and avoid UI overlaps.
* Technologies which let you clear blockers now give a tooltip which says how many such blockers are on your colonies.

* Fixed a crash if script tried to change the species rights of a country (e.g. pirates) without species rights.
* Fixed a crash that would occur if a timed modifier element in the expansion planner was hovered after the modifier expired.
* Fixed an OOS if you ever use every_system_in_cluster in a tooltip (luckily, we never did that)

Performance
* Reduced frame rate impact of opening planet view.
* Optimized (slowed down) recalculations of species view and colonization menu so that they don’t tank framerate.

* Refactored Living Standards to use pop modifiers on the living standards script, instead of being checked for each pop category.
* Updated ship shader to support empire color in emissive, decreasing the amount of draw calls for Aquatic ships.
* Greatly improved performance of upgrading fleets. This mainly affects the tooltip of the UI (which was very expensive when hovered over), but also saves some time each time the AI attempts to upgrade its fleets.

* Easier mod overwriting of objects that dynamically add modifiers.
* Enabled further mathematical operations in many modifier = { factor = x } fields. The full list is now: set, mult/factor, add, subtract, divide, modulo, round_to, round = yes, floor = yes, ceiling, max, min, abs = yes (all taking a number on the right, except where otherwise specified)
* Enabled scripted localization for base scopes, meaning that "Root." is no longer needed in some localization strings.
* Enabled the use of the "distance" trigger in script maths (e.g. export_trigger_value_to_variable).
* Exposed the default megastructure portrait key as a define.

* Fixed station_modifier and triggered station modifiers on starbase modules or buildings, not immediately applying their effects upon construction.
* In value-based triggers where you would say e.g. num_pops > 32, you can now no longer say num_pops > from, but you can instead say num_pops > from.trigger:num_pops. This change was doing for technical reasons, to save on memory usage by not saving two event targets in each trigger.
* Often-reused scripted effects and triggers will now no longer show misleading file locations in error logs.
* Renamed election cost modifier country_election_influence_cost_mult to country_election_cost_mult to not reference influence, as it now costs unity.
* Replaced the modification boolean flag for traits with the additional triggers species_possible_add, species_possible_merge_add and species_possible_merge_remove.
* Stopped some weight/chance fields inexplicably returning 1 even when script said the base should be 0.
* Variables that accepted "trigger:<trigger>" now also accept "modifier:<modifier>".
* You can no longer use "count" in any_x triggers. You should use count_x instead (which uses much better code).
* You can now again specify that a leader made with clone_leader is an event leader (or immortal).
* You can now use count_x script lists in export_trigger_value_to_variable.
* You can now use script values in ships' empire_limit.
*AI economic plan and AI build plan tooltip now shows sub plans and the current income targets, also now able to name sub plans.
* Job reassignment reworked to reevaluate between each change, this means that you can now script more dynamic job weight behaviors without causing mass migration of pops from one job to another. For example, you can base energy credit weight based on empire deficit/surplus or you can base amenities job weight on the planet amenity level.

*Fixed localization issues affecting articles in French, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese
*Fixes a crash that would occur when attempting to apply a species template to a species with a different amount of traits than what is in the template.

Changelog for Update 3.4.3 (added 19 May 2022):

3.4.3 'Cepheus' Free Features
Revolt and Planet Stability related fixes and changes
*When planets revolt, there is now an option to declare war on the new country immediately rather than being subjected to a 10-year truce. The revolting planet counts as the aggressor. (if the planet joins another empire, and you choose war with them, the other country is now considered the aggressor).
*Revolt Situations no longer cause escalating stability maluses, as these could make it impossible to stop a revolt. They now give a flat 10 stability malus at all stages.
*The modifier a pop gets from its faction's happiness now updates properly (so if you make a faction happier, it will correctly make its pops happier now).
*Fixed it being possible for a Revolt Situation to start and immediately cancel. (They will now only start if the planet is calculated to be currently capable of succeeding the revolt)
*Planets with Culture Shock can now only start a revolt situation after 8 years of unrest, rather than 1, as it could be quite hard to avoid a revolt on these planets. Otherwise newly-conquered planets have 4-year cooldowns.
*Improved AI decision making on Revolt Situations.
*Fixed cases where rebels and released empires would have traditions and techs they should not have had access to (e.g. if non-gestalt pops rebelled against a gestalt empire).
*Fixed cases where rebels and released empires would use their parent countries scientists for research. I.e. the researcher would be active in both countries, until one country changed their task.
*Cleaned up some unclear language in the tooltip for Revolt Situation progress (the one describing what you can do about it).
*Void Dwellers now replace the 1 Politician (or Executive) job from Habitat Administration buildings with two Colonist jobs, which should increase their overall stability in the early game.
*Doomsday origin starting planets will no longer clamor to revolt. (Revolt Situations are disabled on them.)

Deficit related fixes and changes
*To help them to deal with unexpected deficits, Empires can now purchase basic or advanced resources (specifically food or consumer goods) from the internal market if they have expenses of that type, even if they do not produce any themselves.
*Fixed never-ending deficits - if you go into a deficit of a resource you do not produce at all, and then stop spending it (i.e. end up with both expenses and income of 0), the deficit will now resolve itself in a few months. This solves issues with machines having inexplicable food and consumer goods deficits, as well as cases where people over-spend rare resources they gained via event.
*All resources provided for deficit bailouts now scale with the game year, instead of just those for the situation that completed.
*Fixed a case where the situation approach to cut the maintenance of habitats would count double.
*Fixed stray reference to Minerals in the Consumer Goods Deficit Situation.

Subject and Agreement related fixes and changes

*Tweaked AI acceptance of resource contribution terms, making them more likely to accept harsher tithes/subsidies.
*AI overlords and subjects will now be more likely to accept specialist subject types that disagree with their ethics.
*Set minimum Advanced Resources tax for Prospectorium to 15% from 30%
*Fixed ACTION_DEMAND_SUBJUGATION_NOTIFICATION and ACTION_ASK_TO_BECOME_SUBJUGATED_NOTIFICATION loc keys.

*Slaves can now be "employed" as mind-thralls.
*Fixed issue when removing/replacing overlord removes the corporate holdings.
*The Divided Patronage loyalty penalty is now correctly removed from existing subjects when taking Shared Destiny, Feudal Society or Franchising.
*You can no longer immediately see the secret fealty status of sectors released as subjects.
*Rebalanced trade weights for specialist subject leaders.
*Subjects that are converting to a specialist subject can continue conversion even if they should flip to a protectorate.
*Subjects that are converting to a specialist subject cannot flip to a protectorate due to low tech level.
*Empires can no longer have negative diplomatic weight.

Game Stability related fixes and changes
*Fixed crash connected with resettling the last pop of a species.
*Fixed a rare crash in the Situations interface.
*Fixed crash with modded shipsets.

Planet automation will now check that the unemployed pops can work the jobs that the automation would build, e.g. preventing specialist job creation for slave pops.
*Reduced the amount of research given by merc dividends.
*Fixed an issue where systems with primitives in them would not be transferred correctly during a status quo war resolution.
*Non-Prophet Organization now correctly checks for the Teachers of the Shroud origin.
