#  First Contact
#  -----------------------
#
#  The First Contact process starts whenever two empires meet for the first time. 
#  Like espionage operations and archeological sites, first contact sites are split in stages, each with a difficulty level and a resulting event. 
#
#  Sometimes you DON'T want a first contact process to fire - like when you're spawning an empire just to have a single ship/leader to use in an event.
#  In such cases, you can define whether a particular country type can start First Contact or not by editing the EFFECT can_have_first_contact in game_rules/00_rules.txt.
#
#
#  FIRST CONTACT SITES
#  -----------------------
#  First Contact sites are assigned depending on empire country type.
#  Every time you meet a new empire, base_contact_set is fired, which then fires first_contact.1: the default "encounter in X system" event. 
#  The event then fires the SCRIPTED EFFECT set_first_contact_starting_stage, checking the country type and assigning the right site to the empire
#  depending on the country type.
#
#  Default empires have a handful of somewhat randomized, generic First Contact sites (defined in 00_first_contact.txt). Critters and enclaves have
#  their own personalized chains (defined in 01_first_contact_space_fauna_and_NPCs.txt)
#
#
#  ADDING NEW UNIQUE FIRST CONTACT STORIES
#  -----------------------
#  By default, base_contact_set fires EVENT first_contact.1 - the generic "encounter in X system" event that is common
#  for every new encounter. If you are planning to use First Contact to write more unique stories, you can fire an alternate event instead.
#  An example is the "Dragon Communications Study" in the Here Be Dragons Origin, where you are trying to communicate with the
#  giant dragon roaming in your system. 
#  You fire the alternate event by adding an exception to base_contact_set:
#
#  stage_event = {
# 	summary = "your_loc_string"					# To be displayed in the stage icon tooltip in the first contact interface
# 	event_weight = {
# 		weight = 0
# 		modifier = {
# 			weight = 1000
# 			from = {
# 				is_country_type = dragon_dummy	# The condition that will be tested to decide whether to fire the
# 			}									# alternate event. Usually checked against country type, but you can
# 		}										# use whatever.
# 	}
# 	event = first_contact.XXXX					# the ID of the event to be fired
#  }
#
#  Start to create your new event by using first_contact.1 as a reference.
#  After that, edit the SCRIPTED EFFECT set_first_contact_starting_stage, adding your new empire type:
#
#  <country_type> = { setup_first_contact_path = { TYPE = <stage_name> } }
#
#  Example: 
#
#  drone_faction = { setup_first_contact_path = { TYPE = drones } }
#
