I plan to fix some bugs I encountered and make some additional changes so I'll post them here in case there's anyone interested.
To apply changes simply paste extracted content to the K-Mod (v1.46) folder and replace all files when asked.
Included dll supports 48 civilizations.
Current version: v0.26 (based on K-Mod v1.46)
Date: 05/Feb/2022
Starting from v0.25, mod can be updated to the current version in-game via Advanced -> Options -> Update Mod (as long as the update server is online).
Download here.
NOTE: Normal pitboss cannot be used with this version, you need PB Mod version available here or here. Be sure to check all the other nice stuff they've got there, some of their things will surely be interesting to any pitboss host.

Changelog:
Spoiler :

- Changed starting location conditions to improve avoidance of bad terrain and edges of bad terrain.
- Slowed down PitBoss games when no one is connected to conserve resources on cloud computing platforms. This feature can be adjusted via GlobalDefinesAlt.xml.

- Fixed an int overflow bug in the value of ending war calculation.

- Various minor fixes.
v0.25b - 06/Oct/2020 - (based on K-Mod v1.46)

- Changed how war declarations that cause other war declarations work. They used to be nested, but now they are queued so that they trigger defensive pacts and everything else in the correct order.

- When given independence, colony doesn't get free units of draft unit type anymore, but gets best available defenders like in other similar cases (free defenders of barbarian cities and culture flipped cities).

- Lighter player color over water on the minimap.

- Fixed a bug (I introduced) where nuking a non-combat unit could crash the game.
v0.20 - 02/Jun/2018 - (based on K-Mod v1.46)
WARNING: This breaks savegame compatibility.

- Capital cannot be moved while spaceship is underway.
- Improved AI evaluation of SDI and Bomb Shelters. (AI thought that Bomb Shelters were completely worthless before.)
- Fixed Bomb Shelter effect for non-combat units. (It used to decrease the chance of death by nuke to 2-3%, now it results in 39.5% chance.)
- Moved the code for building missiles for missile carriers out of the assault case (as K-Mod did for building planes for aircraft carriers). Fixed a bug regarding the number of needed missiles.
- First AI city in a new area is not necessarily on the coast anymore.
- Changes to game options:
- Hidden game options are always set to their default value.
- Added Unlimited Permanent Alliances game option. It removes the (2 member) limit on team size for permanent alliances.
- Fixed bug with Unrestricted Leaders game option caused by the exe having that option hardcoded in the 8th position. (Had to reimplement the random assignment of leaders/civs, idea for solution came from Fall from Heaven 2 by Kael.)

- When a civilization is destroyed, all of its culture becomes barbarian.
- Barbarian culture is shown on minimap and in the globe view.
- Barbarians' unit support costs set to 0.
- Barbarians affected by the same handicap modifiers (production costs, growth thresholds, war weariness and financial costs) as the rest of AI players.
- Barbarians can now only spawn on tiles which produce food (and on sea only adjacent to land tiles with food) and the chance is higher if adjacent tiles produce more food.

- Multiple changes to barbarians:
- They can build all normal land and sea military units. Only units with appropriate unit AI type supported can be spawned.
- Blocked additional special units just for consistency. (Spies etc.)

- Reworked fallout feature to enable AI to understand it and scrub it efficiently: fallout is now treated like jungle/forest, i.e. improvements can be built on it and building them removes fallout.
- Fixed bug related to minimum yield required for building improvements and removable features that lower yields.
- Glance screen with restricted leaders now always shows all rows.

- Included all additional post-v1.44b karadoc's changes from K-Mod github:

- Added some functionality to foreign advisor to enable normal usage with high number of civilizations on map. (Now your own leaderhead in Relations tab is an on/off button which causes that only (shift) selected leaderheads are shown in Relations and Glance tab.)
- Disabled gifting foreign religion missionaries to theocracies (actually whenever non-state religion cannot spread to that player) to block religion spreading exploit. Also disabled gifting transports if you cannot gift all cargo (to avoid weird situations of having your units in foreign transports).
