Stellaris thread.
Xenophile scums not welcomed
I still have no fucking idea what sectors are. Any help here would be appreciated.
Can I change the design of my ships? For example, can I change a construction ship to a colony ship?
>>337110208
>I still have no fucking idea what sectors are
Sectors are what several solar systems are named on your map, like 'Betel Nebula'. They are mostly irrelevant.
>Can I change the design of my ships?
Yes.
>For example, can I change a construction ship to a colony ship?
Yes, you need the appropriate technology though, Subquantum Adjustment or something.
>haven't played yet
>been browsing these threads all day
>on my way home now
I'm so hyped.
>>337112668
It's bretty gud.
Just be warned it does take a while to start up if you're new, but it's worth it. Learning curve is steep for about an hour or two.
>>337109905
Still hella confused on sectors, are they meant a group of plaents and stations? Right now all the planets have barely any buildings on them.
Half my empire are now enslaved xenos, how long till I can expect an uprising?
How the fuck do I invade the primitives?
How is it?
>>337113130
slaves cannot rebel in the current build. A future patch will fix this.
Installed from the Codex crack as per usual. When I try to launch, it shows an icon on the task bar, then crashes a moment later. No screen, no task manager process, no nothing.
Anyone familiar with this problem? I've updated my graphics drivers, and is currently scanning for malware.
>>337109905
fuck yeah about to start and create my militaristic xenophobes
I built a fleet with 78k fire power and destroyed my economy completely, however, it'll he fine once I take over the galaxy and capture resources with it.
>>337113892
Enjoy your virus. :^)

why not enslave everything then?

>>337114126
Going to try that one.
>>337109905
When will we get qt elf race mod so I can enslave them with my slug monster race.
So how's the game comparred to Endless Space?
>>337114126
Fitgirl repacks are only for russians with shit internet.
They're literally the same thing except with retard-tier compression.

>He thinks Malwarebytes is going to save his computer.
>>337114529
Sure it isn't. Common sense is going to.
>>337114415
>retard-tier compression
yeah, but it installs quick and usually much smaller sized torrent so I don't see a downside
Made Zerg. Time to breed and enslave!
>>337114905
Go forth and breed!
>>337110413
>Sectors are what several solar systems are named on your map, like 'Betel Nebula'. They are mostly irrelevant.
This is wrong. Sectors are like vassals in previous Paradox games. You have no real control over them so you don't have to micromanage them but on the other hand they only give you 50% of their income.
>>337115584
You can modify how much they give you in Empire management

Is this game worth pirating if I absolutely fucking hate EU4? I just wanted EU3 with a better interface, fuck

>>337117001
Medium map. Speeding up time seems to do nothing to framerate. Did your frames tank from the beginning?
>>337117104
Is it not possible to grow tall? i.e. growing powerful with advanced tech while just holding on to a few planets
Is this more like Galactic Civilizations or Sins of a Solar Empire?
I always want to get into them but I don't know which of the above games I'm worse at. They are just not for me. Is this easy to learn and get into?
>>337117292

that's the best way to do it as increasing population gives tech cost penalties
>>337117564
>Crusaders tried to take their land back
wtf are you talking about? Jerusalem was never part of any crusader kingdom
>>337112836
This. Was happy trading and colonizing planets, until an equivalent to 'The Imperium of Man' came over and kicked my shit in. They were doing it all for their 'Glorious Empress' as well!

I want this.

Well that was a mistake.
>>337119593
>not removing niggers and mudshits yourself
Is it normal to extract so little resources from stuff? Mineral is fine, but I struggle with power and influence all the time.
>>337119818
It is like if the US annexed Mexico. Vassalize.
>>337120152
You want to get 10 energy from each tile in a planet ? Go conquer the fallen ai empires. Good luck though they will wipe anything beside very late ship tecnology out in 3 seconds.
How the fuck do I delete portraits
>both starting human factions are run by women
Yeah, nah.
Anyway. How the fuck do I find those materials needed for terraforming?
>>337119945
Tell me how, sick of literally 1 in 10 leaders being white and 3 in 10 being male.
>>337120671
Considering white people are a minority in real life, that's accurate.
>>337119818
Annexing was always a pain in the ass in EUIV, all that fucking pre-planning for a simple annexing.
>>337119945
Let's just pretend for a moment that I'm retarded, please explain it to me as if I can only count up to potato.
I'm so tired of Niggers governing worlds in my holy Terran empire.
>>337120762
You'd think the Emperor would stop fucking blacks and arabs, then.
How do you build a colony ship?
>>337109905
i want to purge xenos, but i am affraid my CPU cant handle end-game computing
Why is there no way to bookmark systems/worlds?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Still can't fucking launch the game as it instantly closes. Then I installed some c++ frameworks even tho I already had them, and now it throws 0xc0000005.
What do?
>>337121176
the fuck is a xeno
>can purge, enslave other races, can do orbital bombardements on planets
>can't purge black or arab humans
it's amazing how blue-pilled people are, you can basically genocide other races but racism between humans is a no-no
>>337109905
I made a human race. I wanted to be space pirates and enslave alien scum.
Every person given a portrait other than glorious leader was a nigress.
I'm just going to be space bats and enslave humans now.
>>337121501
Aliens
>>337119593
A mod was posted on /gsq/ some minutes after launch, it replaces the black and asian files with huwytes, look into the archive by around the time of launch

Well fuck.
At least the average life expectancy for my leaders is up around 3 damn centuries.
>>337117357
>>337117357
Not really, you need to grow wide too.
The sheer time it takes to build cruisers & Battleships really restricts growing Tall
I managed it tho, but that was more because I wasn't aggressively expanding and I think my neighboring empires wanted nothing to do with me so long as I wasn't fucking with them.
>Can't outright annihilate empires apparently.
>>337120762
And now consider how many of those 9 others are likely to go to space to spread their genes.
>>337118642
>what is Kingdom of Jerusalem
Is the lore and tech in this as good as in Alpha Centauri?
>>337122343
Nope.
>>337122057
>Was hoping there was some sort of story-chain linked to Synthetics and Sentient AI
>>337121726
>>337121726
I wanted a "Good" alternative. That wasn't just safely researching the techs. I've got one or two planets populated with Synthetics.
So what's the best weapon type to choose?
>>337121636
>>337121636
But pirates were the niggers of their time
So nothing wrong with it

I'll bring you science, that you want it or not. My Armada will not be denied
>>337121176
wut
I run it in a fucking toaster, it's very optmized for a Paradox game.
>>337122728
It's paper scisor rock situation but usually missiles are the best.
>>337122728
If they have lots of armor, lasers
If they have lots of shields, ballistics or missiles
If they have lots of missiles, point defense
If they have no point defense, missiles and strike wings
If they have a balanced force. Shit yourself.
IMO lasers are the best weapon to start with. Nothing is going to have shields for a long time and by the time they do have shields you can get torpedoes which penetrate them.
Also, ships generally die from the first ship in a fleet to the last. So put lots of heavy armor ones on top and your weaker glass cannons last.
Is the game decent now or should I wait for the inevitable half dozen DLC packs?
>>337123616
Its decent now.
How does it compare to Civ V?
>>337123702
It has slightly more depth than Civ V, and the AI is slightly better in Stellaris.
Holy shit I suck at this game. Some pirate scum is wiping me out
>>337123702
Why would you compare a turnbased 4x to an RTS?
>>337124138
I heard it was 4x
>>337124305
its not ck2 in space, but its more depth than regular 4x, lets say endless space, which still has better combat
>>337122830
Whats your specs

Beyond Earth is shit because it doesn't compare to SMAC
Stellaris has nothing to compare to so people automatically assume it's good

>>337112836
>Just be warned it does take a while to start up if you're new, but it's worth it. Learning curve is steep for about an hour or two.
this is pretty standard for paradox games.
if youve played EU/vicky/HOI/etc, hows the learning curve?
>>337124581

>More like Civ 5 in space
It doesn't even compare to Civ5
>>337125252
Very straightfoward
These assholes started on 1 time. Assumed I could breed faster than them. I was wrong.
I can't purge them, I can't slave them. I sectioned off the plan and ignore them.
How does it compare to Distant Worlds?
So I just found my first fallen empire. Why does their territory seem to have two shades of "colour", whereas everyone else has just one? Is that a fallen empire thing, or something else I don't know about. Also about to wage a war on same weird anteater folk, because they cucked me out of a Gaia planet. The thing is, they don't even have a colony on the planet, just in their frontier station radius. I assume I can just wreck their fleet and stations and then white peace out or just take some minor minerals when I take a "cede planet" wargoal?
>>337109905
Whats wrong with being a xenophile? You can make friends with aliens easier
>>337125916
Not even that. A federation of multiple species is better, since strong or industrious pops can be better on mineral rich worlds for example.
>Want to try Stellaris
>Want to try Offworld Trading Company
>No demos for either game
Why do developers not make demos anymore? Do they just expect everyone to pirate to try, and fuck all the users who don't?

>>337125916
>betraying humanity
Wormhole travel or Hyperspace?
>>337126275
Why stay human when you can mix with other species and potentially ascend humanity?
If I create a universe where I only accept one kind of FTL, will the the AI empires based on what I created before then only pick from those who use that FTL, or will it just force all those empires I made to that FTL regardless of what they had.
>>337126419
The former.

It's a couple of shitposters who worship Warhammer 40k without knowing anything about it so they just spam this retarded meme in every thread where it's even slightly relevant.
>>337125826

>>337126836

>>337126836
My homeworld was neutral and I noticed no bad effects
>>337126969
You need to enable the forced relocation policy.
So how's the late game paradox is experimenting with?
Can't wait for my empire to burn all the Xenos to the ground.
>>337126964
B-but it's all the fault of the jews and niggers! /pol/ will save us! Humanity is the best, we're just being held back by degenerates! M-make humanity great again!
>>337127084
is that a tech?
>>337126658
The Imperium of man promotes certain xenos and non humans species.
Its only those who are a threat who they kill. Which is 99% of the galaxy but thats the other factions fault.
THE SWARM IS GROWING
>>337127208
No, it's a policy, like your policy on slavery, policy on genocide etc.
>>337126362
You almost made me buy the game just now thinking that it had the option for crossbreeding with aliens.
>>337127391
Nah, no crossbreedingyet. You can do some genetic engineering but that's it.
>>337125252
There is no learning curve if you've played those, only thing you might neglect if you don't know about it is surface construction
>that autism on /gsg/
holy fuck
>>337127248
Are all the techs the same across species? For example, are the Zerg-types developing AI?
The wiki says there are suppposedly advantages to having an embassy with a fallen empire. Anyone got an idea what they are?
>>337127713
/gsg/ is one of the worst big generals on /vg/. It's best to stay well away from it.
>>337127725
Yeah I had an option to develop AI colony ships before. I think they are all the same
>>337127764
It stops them from curb stomping like a bitch.
>>337127725
Your ethos affects the probabilities of techs showing up.
>>337127725
Most techs are shared by everyone, but there are some techs that are locked by your empire's traits. Same with events.
>>337127713
care to provide any autism samples?

fitgirl routinely packs in malware that starts phoning home to Romania in 1-2 weeks after you install that shit. Get Glasswire and check for yourself (typically named after fake skype or flash installers). GG, this game's not even worth that trouble
>>337116862

>Can't demand things like minerals/energy/tribute per month in war
I knew they fucked up diplomacy, but this much....
Is there anyway to transport populous to another planet?
Holy fuck its so hard to be purist Imperial in this. Even once you take a Xeno scum planet you have to purge only one or two pops then replace it with your own humans, then purge the entire planet. Its fucking satisfying but god it takes forever. Also I accidentally vassaled Xeno scum and am now stuck with them. If I intergrate them into my Empire does that mean that all their planets become mine but they all stay disgusting alien scum?
If so is my better option to just declare war on them and nuke all their planets from orbit?
Pic related is my empire. Vassal is the blue dudes next to me. I'm slowly but surely growing.
>>337128989
>>337128989
Enslave them.Too bad Stellaris doesn't have nerve stapling.
>>337129039
Make sure they both have a pop of 5 so you can upgrade your centre to planet administration. Then just click on the population you want to resettle, choose the planet, where you want them to go on the planet and drag them over. Resettlement is instant as well I think.
>>337114079
Although they can not rebel, having slaves will cause friction between the different species within your empire. Eventually, as you conquer space, not every planet will be filled with your own race - So it's generally best to treat your own dudes as "Master race" and enslave the shitty ones, but keep a few "Decent-tier races" as non-slaves so you can live in harmony.
>>337128408
its something you gotta see with your own eyes man
Say what you will about the rest but this is definitely Paradox's best-sounding game. The soundtrack is amazing.
>>337128408
Basically every single mention of Stellaris gets 5 replies that amount to REEEE NORMIES GET OUT.
>>337129204
So like Italians and Japanese?
>>337121502
It's a pretty universal theme in sci-fi that when humans enter the intergalactic community that racism within humanity is immediately thought to be petty given the abundance of aliens to hate and unite against. It makes sense.
>>337121501
How did you even manage to start the game?
where the fuck are the saves located? I want to play on a different pc but cloud isn't transferring them over.
>>337129464
>Italians
>decent-tier
>>337129641
They had the only decent navy in that side of the planet which didnt want to muderkill Germany.

>>337129056
>THat big ugly sector at the bottom left
Why do sectors look like such dog shit? I hope they get fixed sooner or later because they ruin the whole fucking aesthetic of your empire. Is there a way to toggle them off so you can't see them at least?
>>337129813
what good is a decent navy on paper if it just gets clowned in-port
>>337129980
I said Italian, not French
Should I just restart if I get boxed in in my little starting area by nations that are almost hostile and stronger than me?
Seriously I'm surrounded by 4 aliums and only one of them is friendly. I've got no resources in my borders left unutilized and there's no fucking hospitable planets anywhere in the nearby star systems untouched by dick aliums.
Fuck.
Either I'm getting shit luck or Cubs start way too close to eachother in a normal size game.
>>337130404
If you want to play easy mode, sure.
Or you could just reduce the number of race in the galaxy so you have more room to faff about.
>waiting for mods that let me create a parasite-like alien race that uses other races as breeding stock and fucks over entire ecosystems

How much does population matter?
>>337130976
The more population you have, the more resources you can exploit.
Having more population also increases some of your soft-caps, like the number of ships you can have without getting a maintenance penalty.
Feed me!

>>337132235
One of the buildings you can create boosts research. You could just sit on one planet, but you'll probably run out of planets to mine since influence builds pretty slowly.
>>337132235
Science is a resource.
You can stay on one planet in theory, but you can't build mining stations on planets outside your borders and your amount of border-expanding space stations is limited by your influence.
>>337132706
At least give sauce or linik.
>>337130404
Go all in and produce as many ships as you are able, call on every man woman an child in a desperate final push against the alien foes.
If you fail, your civilization was doomed anyway, at least you went out in a blaze of glory.
>>337125707
I'm wondering this too.
I put like 200 hours into Distant Worlds, is this game comparable to that? Is it more in depth or less?
>>337133063
Less.
It's a typical Paradox game. Decent but rather bare-bones on release, then it gets 60 different DLCs to expand it. Though it's the least buggy release Paradox ever had so at least that's positive.
>>337132865
I'll do you one better because you were so nice.

>>337133250
>one better
fore all you know he's just looking for more poerno pics from the same author and didnt even have the game installed let alone want to use a custom faction
so what galaxy shape did everyone pick?
I've been playing for a hour or two, and I already got somewhat bored of it. Why do all flaws only give 1 trait point while there are shit that cost 2, 3, 4 and even 5 points?
Even then, the game feels as much of a waiting simulator as Civ 5/BE but without making it much interesting or having a friendly interface at all. At least the game is not as much of a micromanaging simulator as Democracy 3.
>>337109905
So I'm fairly new and I think I've got a problem. Playing essentially space Rome as fanatical militarist xenophobe and just conquered a few worlds from my neighbors but now I've got political dissidents coming out my ass. I would purge most enslave the rest but my people can't live on their worlds.
Long story short how do I control xenos on planets I can't send my primary race to?
>>337133250
Thank you so much anon.
I can't give you anything in exchange unfortunetly.except this
>>337133393
I do have the game.
>>337133185
Would you recommend it over Distant Worlds to a friend? I automated so much in Distant Worlds the less indepth might be better for me.
>>337133442
From what I know, you might be able to recruit xenos from other worlds, or just kill off the dissidents using orbital bombardment instead of having to send your troops

>>337133587
It depends. If you want depth and complexity, stick with DW at least until Stellaris has more DLC so you can get it on sale and/or pirate it. If you want a more polished but less complex experience, Stellaris is still a great game and definitely easier to get into, it just needs some time to grow to its full potential.

>>Your ethos affects the probabilities of techs showing up.

This game might take awhile.
>>337112965
From what I userstand they are autonomous regions of you want to wxaond you'll have to use them because at most you can control 5 planets at most.

You get 3 research options to choose from per discipline (so 9 in total, disciplines are physics engineering and social), more with certain government types and techs
>>337133862
Every time you finish research you get 3 random options
It's bullshit since I've only seen better warp drives once
Sorry for being retarded but how exactly do I bind new hotkeys?

On the one hand that sounds great because the fucking massive tech trees in other 4x games always took half an eternity for me to understand in detail.
On the other hand that sounds like bad luck can fuck you up quite quickly.

I don't understand.
why is diplomacy so shit? why paradox why? leader cultivation/leader relations aren't even a thing
The great thing about robutts is that once you kick them out you don't have to give their land back to the empires that owned it.
It's literally free territory.
Question:
How do I build a fucking warship? I started with the all the tutorials on because I don't know shit, and like 3 months into the game I get a warning about hostile alien ships intruding on my solar system. And I cannot for the life of me find out how to make more warships. The only place that constructs anything is that construction ship and it only constructs stations. I have a few warships I started with but I don't think they're gonna hold up against the cockslap army coming to get me.

What weapons/shields did you use?
Will this game run on a toaster?
I stumbled upon some shitty iron age primitives. Is there a way I can enslave them and throw them onto other planets or some shit? I'm playing as a despotic empire so slaving and purging is fine
>>337134423
Hold on though. The "Hostile Alien fleet" thingie is actually mostly part of the beginning of the game where you are supposed to make first contact with an alien race. Not only that, but warships will appear later into the game. Until then, you can research a destroyer for basic defenses.

At a space station, near your capital. Click it and you got a button there, Build.

>>337134474
No. It won't run on a microwave either. Try it on a dish washer.
>>337134459
They had pretty weak shields but I was using projectile weapons, regen armor, and I never discovered any shields.
I had found a cruiser though.

Use the spaceport next to your homeworld

pretty fun after first 9 hour session
>spiritual militaristic individualists.
>picked hyperline and got 2 fanatic militarists neighbours
>cut off from exploring whole galaxy
fun.
later just made vassals out of all of them and then some. about 1/6 of medium universe is technically mine
turns out when those xenos can't shoot anything aside of rockets, they are not that scary against some good old railguns with point defenses to back it up.
was fun not to lose single ship with 5k vs 5k fleet battle.
also, do I need additional technology for planetary bombardment or I missed something?
>>337134935
I've tried Wormhole and Hyperdrive so far. While Hyperdrive definitely starts off a lot faster since they're not restricted by the range of your wormhole stations, it's a worse when you get big and you have to navigate all those random ass hyperlanes to get from one end to another, instead of just straight jumping from station to station.

I don't think Rome would be spiritual. My spiritual race was implied to lead crusades to smash heathens. Seems it doesn't matter if you're spiritual or fanatic, you're always crazy.
>>337117292
>I don't know history but I read Facebook liberal detected.
Crusades where a series of wars fought to push back the Muslim hoard.
After they had made huge gains in Christian lands.
the battles are all auto resolve I assume?

gg. If I had a spaceport there things might've turned out differently.
>>337135167
>push back
no, it was a reason for the pope to unity the entire christian community and fortify the church's power in the medieval era
the Respublica Christiana needed a common foe so they fucked up the moors, it wasn't some righteous war against the invader, it was a means to expand christianity
What's the difference between standard, nova and galax edition?

Ok I have a mod removing nonwhites, but is there any mod that removes women?
This one is even more important, I can accept some smart asian as an engineer, but women in utopian future should know their place

How do i get more influence? And how do i do that?
>>337135563
I'm not defending the muslims, in fact, the muslims tried to do the same thing, the Jihad were a means to expand Islam, both religions were basically gigantic empires that created a common enemy, Christianity won because it was more united despite the struggles with Lutero and the wars with the investidure controversy
im just a historian so it's fact, holy wars or crusades were not wars to push back the invader
>>337118642
>anon shows his knowledge
Jeez.
What's next. You gonna say Crusades were bad too?
Anybody here smart and can tell me how to edit my savegame so I can change my empire colour?
Thinking of getting this, but I'm curious as to how in-depth the ship customization and combat is. Do well designed ships matter at all? Or is it all rock paper scissors X beats Y mechanics, fleet of power 390 always beats power 400.

Except the muslims were the ones who attacked Europe first, Ahmed.
>>337135958
It's pretty deep concerning ship builds I have to say. My 4k fleet lost a bunch of ships against a 2k fleet cause my rockets suck against Shields and I only have one slot filled with torpedeos. This takes alot of energy, so no big shields on my corvettes and their torpedos fucked me right up. Were it 3k vs 4k i'd be dead
>>337135490
>turks just stumbled into Manzikert by accident
>they dindu nuffin
While I'm sure the Pope consolidating power was a side effect, Popes had tried this before to little effect. It's a reaction to the grand Byzantine buffer state getting their shit pushed in and an infidel threat upon Catholicism. Muslims had been showing their true colors for a couple decades, and Europe was becoming more and more at risk to the invaders.

>Or is it all rock paper scissors X beats Y mechanics,
this
knowing general design of enemy ships gives you huge advantage
>fleet of power 390 always beats power 400.
nah, not really sure how power of fleet works
I've been in battle 5k vs 5k fleet but didn't lose even single thousand while destroyed other fleet.
didn't try to attack bigger fleets with smaller one tho.
most boring game of the decade
