>>337201803
Its a stellar game.
Is there any way I can conquer a planet but not keep its original inhabitants? Gotta keep the race pure n shit.
>>337201716
So you can make your own races in this game?
Can you make a qt space elves too?
>>337202182
there's only humies, furries, bugs and shroom people, all of which are purely cosmetic
>>337202182

>>337202007
You can purge the xenos if you have the right ethics/gov form
>>337202618
>cosmetic
Erm that is incorrect sir. There is a huge game mechanic that is based on how a certain race like/hates another. So races are not just cosmetic...
>>337202828
what game mechanic
I've got lolis.
>>337202828
Are you serious? I haven't noticed anything like that, just ideological differences, and differences based off your government.
>>337201716
Been playing these nigs for probably 10 hours now. They're fun as fuck.

>taking forever to breed
not too bad desu
>>337202828
No, not really. You can chose any traits for any race. A spider race is only repugnant if you give it that trait, at least as far as I know.
is there a way to only have males with arabic names taking positions? INIE is being held back by female european and african researchers and leaders
Is there a torrent for this game yet? I'm not sure I wanna buy it.

They don't produce fleets either, There's literally no point to put them on military, all they do is build spaceports.
>>337201716
Is there any way to check a list of what planets you've surveyed? I'm looking for one that had a bronze age civilization and want to see what I can do with them but I can't find them
Any ship design tips?
>>337203918
Not sure about what you're asking but you can just check the species overview tab to find where bronze age civ is
Industrialist or intelligent? Not convinced the additional science is more worthwhile when I'm already running max materialist.
>>337201716
The tutorial for this game sucks ass
>>337204181
Mineral gain really only matters in the very early game. By the time you have two or three planets up you're going to have plenty.
>>337204181
Credits > Minerals
Minerals are mostly RNG anyways. Either you have scads or you have none, no middle ground.

Sweet Mary mother of god, that game is awesome.
>>337201716
I love how fucking stupid tech system in this game is. Just bs
Anyone know where I can get the warhammer mod? The dropbox link died.
Should I get the nova edition, or just the standard one?

Was disappointed because of the lack of lithovores and shit.
Is there a way to transfer pops between planets?

Stupid lolis, you seriously wont become strong unless you devour your neighbors at the start just like any 4x game.
welp, looks like i found my next 4x game.. its been a while, i think i finally found it.. didn't even know this was coming.
Well I'm already bored.
>>337207874
fuck you, now im not buying it
>>337207671
You can forcibly resettle if your empire policies allow it.
>>337207924
Is there no way to board a transport ship full of pops and send them to a new planet like in MoO?
>>337208029
That's what forcible resettling them is. Pops can migrate too but you can't guarantee the ones you want will move to the place that you want.
Hey /v/, what's the most bureaucratic sounding empire name you can think of? I want to make a Peaceful Bureaucracy that's basically all those terrible DMV visits all rolled into one empire.
How will I, as someone who knows nothing of anything, fare in a game like this?
I don't mind learning new stuff, but I prefer if it's taught well.
Is the game tutorial-friendly?
>>337203525
>they don't upgrade by themselves
That's not true, I checked. Pic related, they've upgraded their shit just fine.

They need the minerals and credits to do so, in the empire screen you can see the sector production and pump resources if they dont have enough
I'm the democratic collective, ignore me hemorrhaging energy, I've done that on purpose for a bit because I kept reaching the cap,I'm also a retard so I'm probably playing the game all wrong.
The Seban Empire are my vassal and I'm slowly trying to integrate them into my society, I've also found a primitive species on a planet below that empire which should be exciting, even though I'm terrible at the same its really fun and I haven't been wiped out yet.
How am I suppose to kill everyone when they can stop me from attacking just by surrendering
>>337202007
Purge them all. You can change which ethics that your people believe in to allow this. Some changes can only be done once per 10 years, and some still may cost influence if I recall correctly, but most is free.
>>337209257
take their colonies and then purge them
>>337202007
check if it is habitabble
purge one pop
ressetle that one with your species
then purge all others
if u purge without ressetling your own, you will lose the planet and it wil be noman's
>play game few hours
>still stuck with just missiles
>next game, lasers unlocked almost immediatelly with projectile weapons as starting weapons
I don't get it. Random or hidden tech tree I havent found out yet?
>>337208343
Ever played a Paradox game? Ever played a 4X game? Ever played a strategy game?
If you said 'yes' to one of those then you can probably survive by turning on the 'explain everything' button that the little AI helper prompts you with at the start of the game. Otherwise it might be overwhelming for you at the start.
>>337203918
You have some options.
Firstly, all systems that you have surveyed will change their names to white rather than gray on the galaxy screen, and the resources you can acquire there is shown.
As for finding the specific system you want, you can either look through the list of species and they will be listed there (you can filter out all non-Pleb races to only see the ones you can spy on easier) or you can simply use the search function if you prefer that. It's in the bottom right of the screen.
>>337209616
as a person who has only tried ck2 before and failed horribly at it, i found the little robot very helpful and unless you want all the help will keep popping up every time you click on something letting you read it over and over
>>337201716
the first play through I forgot i was playing a paradox game and didn't pause at all
I ended up with 3 colonies surrounded by massive civs that wiped me out instantly
Then i roleplayed as some ultranazi birds so everthing balanced out
I'd appreciate though if they added an "survey continuously" or "survey in selected range" feature, plus adding surface AI and the ability to make sure there is always X ships at hand.
Also I managed to get rare techs every other time I finished one
>>337209698
Any time I see these two techs on the side of the screen it's like a sales pitch. Or like the opening to Beverly Hillbillies.
Lolitas:
Nuclear missiles. Warp travel.
>>337204181
With Minerals you can set yourself up for a strong start, take many systems very fast (either by rapid expansion or by military force) and then switch your focus to research by mass-producing science buildings and outposts. However, research is better in the long run. You will be drowning in minerals eventually - The Power currency is far harder to obtain, I've noticed.
>>337204359
It does. You should probably just skip it and pay attention during your first game - Trial and error - And have that game as your "tutorial run". Second game will be better and far more entertaining as a result.
>>337209698
Here's a tip to newbs:
make lots and lots of mining bases.
I forgot to on my first playthrough.
Also don't be a faggot like me and have tier 2 warp drives next to synthetics and gene warrior armies
>>337209616
>>337209692
Well noted, Robro for me all the way then. Thanks.
never rival fallen empires
I listened some cuck's advice, and they kept attacking me with 50k strong fleets to humiliate me and kill my ruler after each war in assassination
>>337201716
is stellaris just the space part of spore that we deserved?
So what's the combat like in this game? And not just good or bad, I mean what IS it? Is it turn-based action point stuff like MoO 2? Or real-time naval control like Sword of the Stars?
>game treats droids as another race so you can have droid bio-engineered horrors
>>337205937
It's very random which technologies will be offered to you, although if you always research the "more options" thing as soon as you see it pop up, as well as always scan the debris of everything you kill, you will soon have plenty of options to select each time a new research is done. Still, if you really need that "Colonize ocean planets" or "Clear volcano debris" science it could take you several years before it is offered to you. I expect there will be a mod for this very soon with a proper tech-tree.
>>337209537
You get three choices of technology to research in each of the three tech pools. It's completely random what technology appears, but some technologies are only enabled once you research other prerequisites.
It's all fucking random. And a little bit irritating. If you've got two important choices to make, say between better warp engines or a more advanced reactor, then you better think real fucking hard about your decision because if you're unlucky then that other technology might not appear again for a long time. I was stuck with Fusion Reactors for like 30 years, after passing up the opportunity to research something better.

Stop being a fucking whiny, socially awkward, faggot.
>>337208343
Things aren't explained super well, but they aren't overly complicated either. The first time you play you will pick things that "sound good" and some will perhaps disappoint you - Both for racial choices and research - But you will learn from it and do better and better. I thought combat would be easy when I selected the +40% Army Damage trait (Strong Species) and then hours later finally realized it only applies to ground combat. Oh well..
Can I and how do I play a Lovecraftian horror cult empire?
>>337210109
this is kind of wrong, I had 2 300 level fleets take on a 900 level fleet and won
>>337209537
It's random - But it can be manipulated to some extent. Just go to war with a race or some neutral early on, kill one of their ships or some flying space cow you encounter somewhere, and send a scientist to the wreckage. You will learn about their weapons and armour, and they will be selectable as research 100% of the time thereafter with part of the progress needed already completed. You can learn special things this way as well that would otherwise never show up as research choices, such as biological and regenerative armour plating for your ships, or the power to Force Lightning someone with your mind, etc.
>>337210398
yes you can, and I assume just attack everything you can when you see it in space, but make sure youre strong enough to do so
>>337210609
you have to calculate in stat boosts (commanders, weapon type v armor type, etc..)
but what I was trying to say was the battles aren't as simulated
MILITARY REPUBLIC, JUNTA, OR DICTATORSHIP
>>337210780
Junta, always
Do it faggot
>>337209952
The Fallen Empires don't care about you most of the time - But they can be hostile towards you if you really piss them off somehow. And some rare few of them can be territorial and pissed if you box them in completely or steal their systems with border expansions. Just throw and embassy onto them if you're worried about them as I've heard that as long as you're above -75 "friendliness" with them, they'll never attack you.
>>337210239
Slavery means you can enslave anyone, including your primary race. Alien slavery means you can only enslave xenos.
>>337201716
Well my first look at Stellaris and I will never not see that as a giant horsecock with little arm feelers or whatever.
>>337201716
How do I stop getting wrecked in battles? Building bigger ships hardly seems to be worth it.
>>337210001
It's not hugely complex. You have to design your own ships to fill different roles depending on what you stick on them, or what you hope to counter. The different civilizations will all have varying design philosophies as well. Different weapon types are good at doing different things, different ship classes are better or worse at doing different things, and so on. You'll also have to slap armor, shields, engines, combat computers, and everything in between on there somewhere. And of course you'll always want the best technology that space money can buy.
After that you pick an admiral to lead the fleet, smash it into the enemies, and that's where the complexity suddenly stops. You don't control anything that happens in the battle itself.
>>337210001
It's a bit like EVE online, in my opinion - But with less micro management. Usually it's whomever has the biggest fleet that wins, but you can turn the tide significantly by entering the battle with the right preparations to counter whatever shit they'll be using against you. For early game, I like Missiles on my Corvette's and those turrets that destroy enemy fire on my Destroyers, with deflective shields. Take almost no casualties that way unless the enemy fleet is more than twice your size.
>>337210975
It won't let me pick decadent for my trait even though I have xenophobe, so I'm kinda butthurt about this.
The Uv Xant and the Cyggana re my vassals. The Uv are being integrated into my Divine Empire.
Have they fixed the framerate stuttering yet?
Currently playing as them. It's going good.
>>337210316
The races are all vastly different but it has nothing to do with their actual appearance. You can select the ugliest fuckers in space and the "Charismatic" trait and the other aliens will find you deliciously sexy.
>>337211134
Stop reposting this shit.
>>337211094
Works on my machine
>>337211031
>>337211050
So it's like other Paradox games, where you say "attack" and the battle just kinda happens and you have no control over it at that point?
Do fleets fight until they're destroyed, do they retreat after a certain point, or can you manually retreat them out of combat?
>>337210780
If you can complete the goals, having more frequent elections (military republic is every 5 years) can give you HUGE amounts of bonus influence which can give you a massive edge. That's something worth considering alongside the other regular bonuses.
How do I set up a custom description for my empire?
Does anyone know how to use the genetic modification feature?
>>337211287
What is influence even good for? I had a huge stockpile and nothing to do with it.
>>337211004
Get shields and evasion. Armour is better in late-game when you got some hull (hit points) to work with. Then just hit them with your weapon of choice. I like missiles - They are 100% accurate and got great range.
>>337211278
Fight until dead or you retreat them
Just youtube it
>>337211278
You can retreat them whenever you want, unless the fleet admiral isn't the type to give up, in which case, fuck you this fight is to the death.
>>337211372
THat's what I've tried, hasn't worked out very well though. And I'm having a hard time evaluate what I'm doing wrong.
>>337211081
how did you get that much blob? how many planets do you own
>>337211363
edicts, outposts
its the best way to expand your borders out after you have 5 planets.
>>337211493
Sectors.
>>337211278
You have little control over the battle. I heard they will add more formations later, but the ships fight automatically after you give the order, using the best methods based on the things you equipped them with. You can manually retreat, but it depends on your warping choices. You can always jump through a worm-hole, for example. Warp drives have a bit of a cooldown though and can easily be scrambled with early tech so that they are more or less useless. Be aware!
>>337211480
Is there a civ in particular that's blowing you the fuck out?
How many ships in your fleet? What types? What ships did you design, and what are you putting on them? Post screenshots maybe.
>>337211081
I directly control 5 planets and there are about 20 planets spread over 6 sectors. I'm integrating the Uv Xantt's 3 planets and in 30 years, I'll integrate the Cyggan's 6 planets.
To my north, there are about 5 uncolonized habitable planets I have yet to claim, and there's about 30 more that I can't colonize yet all over my empire, either because I don't have the tech, or because I have Non-adaptive and Habitability is low.
Does the game have carriers? I love spamming attack craft.
>>337211363
It allows you to grow much faster, expand your empire's borders and get more outposts up, and get huge benefits to your chosen edicts and policies. Simple things like building ships 33% faster and for 25% less cost is pretty amazing when you are at war. Or just grab a good old bonus to power credit generation. With enough influence gain, you can have tons of these bonuses running on multiple planets constantly.
>>337211493
Meant to reply to you with this : >>337211685
>>337211698
Yes. And carrier stationary platforms and military outposts as well, which can be paired with space mines and warp scramblers.
>>337211698
It has strike craft, which are smaller ships launched from bigger ships used to attack other big ships. Can only really be countered by point defence. So yes.
I have no idea what ship, or if its a weapon that takes a weapon slot.
Rate
>>337211862
Agrarian is vastly overrated in my opinion. Otherwise really nice.
>>337211372
Even this doesnt always work, if game just refuses to give shields or armor research. Not having different weapons is worse though.

>>337212054
Just stay away from it
>>337212054
That's a space amoeba. Best to stay away from them early on. It's not intelligent, it just floats around in space not doing much. You can kill them once you get a reasonable fleet, like 6 corvettes or something, and when you research their remains you might get technology.
>>337212054
It's a space cow. Nuke it!
>>337212165
The Military Tech is just your starting tech - You can change that really early on. Truthfully there is hundreds of choices to make your race and rule truly unique but most of them can be changed as the game is played and isn't "locked" in with your racial traits.

Everyone should get different weapons type researched ASAP. Like if starting with lasers, immediatelly get projectiles too, if option is given. They work great together and make combat much more bearable. Being stuck with just one weapons type can really fuck you up.

You see all that shit about AI's and robots?
Yeah. Don't do that shit you dingus. I learned a little too late.

It is a lifesaver when you got a 40k army in need of repairs. I normally put 1-2 large ones on my battleships.
>>337214132
At least you learned ahead of time.
I went from 'Alright, time to finish the game' to 'oh god everything is burning' in the span of five minutes.

Is the healing AoE? Or just for a single ship?
>>337213683
Completely pointless once you get battleships that have an aura of healing or if you luck out and get a admiral with a trait that heals their fleet.
>>337214189
Better to just split the fleet up and send them off to different starbases. Not worth one slot, let alone two.
>>337214257

Question!
What is a pop? English is not my native language so I can't quite comprehend what's that supposed to be.
Every time I build Energy Station or Hydroponics Farm - it shows that it's being inactive because it requires "a grown pop" to work.
How can I fix this?
>>337213765
whats a non pure species?

>>337201916
underrated post
do sectors build mining stations and research stations on their own?
>>337214363
Depends, again. My main fleet is almost always movign around bombarding worlds. They never really need to come back.
>>337212221
you can balance it out depending on what you want your sectors to do
you either
A) set up your sectors geographically, with defence sectors on the outter rim of your empire, with only some resources and planets while your inner sectors milk money
b)set up your sectors based on the resources they produce, with a research sector in areas of heavy research, energy in areas of high energy etc etc
>>337214457
While that might work well against AI, min-maxing human players will give you a lot more difficulty. Great if it works for you though, might give it a try myself.
>>337214446
I had a sector build a construction ship but everything was already mined/stationed so I have no idea if they do anything with it.
>>337214446
Not that I've noticed. They do maintain their own planets though, that's nice.

Okay, how can I have these units on ubuilt tiles? Nothing so far is working among my new buildings and it's depressing.

This is easier said than done, considering you would need all those resources within your borders. Those things tend to not be far apart.

Literally why? Most boring spacetravel

I'm now on the edge to get migration access to another empire.
How do I make my people migrate/how does it work?
>>337214605
They are created randomly over time, faster if you have a surplus of food.
Wait until a pop is spawned, THEN construct something.
>>337214625
You did the right thing.
Asking again: are you able to steal the ringworlds that one of the fallen empires spawns with and recolonise it with your species?

I saw something in this thread about giving robots rights, does that have something to do with it? There's no need to rebel if your life is comfy is there?
>but....why?
I know you love me mushroom people but you need to die.
>>337214741
yidk
Robot lives matter
>>337214760
You gave them rights?
you actually started to let them think they're people?
Hope you didn't like that empire.
>>337214741
Yes
What do I do with species that haven't reached the space age yet? I found another fungal race which's highest accomplishments is air travel and build a watch post to spy on them.
But I can't engage in any diplomatic relations, the tooltip always says that they have no means to engange or something like that. Why is that? Why can't I just land and engage in such relations? I know that I can help them reach the space age per watch post, so thats one way to show myself, but what does that do me? Is the only way to get that planet, by attacking it? Can I even attack it at this stage?
>>337214570
does this happen if you treat them well?
>>337203117
Slow Breeders is literally the only negative trait that isn't worth the point. Why anon.

It only makes them ask for more.

>>337214890
Do you have an AI faction?
>>337214760
Yes it helps, but your people wouldn't be happy
>>337214887
You can give them technology
Or go full V and infiltrate their goverment
How the fuck do i go into a war, if my enemy can instantly transport all of his army to his goal, and then just do it again and again and again, and i can't stop him from doing that.
>>337214887
You can land assault troops and conquer them or uplift them with your observation post. Uplifting then turns them into a vassal state eventually which you can integrate into your empire
>>337215002
use the same travel method :^)
>>337214976
>>337215009
I see, so helping them reach the space age is the only non-violent way for now. Thanks.
>>337214887
You can give them tech via the observation post which will eventually rise them to vassal status.
Honestly I love uplifting, it's one of the most fun aspects of the game. My last empire I had around 50 colonised worlds of my own as well as 7 uplifts. Good fun
>>337215002
go to their capital
destroy thei space stations
rape their planets and force them to come to you
destroy their warp generators
>>337215002
I just usually go and blow up all their spaceports, while they are blowing mine ones. eventually they get back to defend their last one, then I crush them
Where's my space elves race?
