Stellaris thread
3rd day and still isn't bored, game bet Distant Worlds record already
It sucks that you have to research tile blocker removal
especially with randomized tech
can somebody tell me how to not crash when editing the Core_sector section of defines.lua?
Whenever i change anything in the files i crash when i start.
First for edgy races.
>>337441631
just get a scientist who's interested in that stuff and you'll increase the chance of getting those kinds of tech
>>337441813
>Get some rng for your rng
>>337441631
Don't colonize planets with a bunch of tile blockers early game. A 3x3 planet with no tile blockers should be considered better than a 4x4 planet half covered in blocks.
>>337441227
Wait, your species can mutate?
Second for 77 years to subject a vassal
I can't figure out how to add flavor text to my OC donut steal races

You can unlock tech that lets you genetically modify population in your empire, it unlocks additional point to invest into genetical traits too.

Noice a link to the next thread, thanks!
Any way to colonize this?
>>337441907
Apparently
>>337442047
I researched the tech, but I never modified my humans. They mutated on their own.

Imagine an entire species equivalent to the average NEET. The kind with agoraphobia and shit, not the "you die if you work" kind.
>>337442208
Terraform it.
Playing this game in multiplayer must be fun, you could actually do a bit of roleplaying with it since the diplomatic interactions would be much more advanced.
Can you convert others to join you without blowing their shit up or being the nicest fucker ever? No idea how to do a parasitic shroomborg
what could possible go wrong?

>declare war trying to take his second planet
>his twice as big fleet arrives and reks my capitol
It was so early we both had only 2 planets
How the hell he has resources to build twice as many ships as I do? It's like he has free 800 res lying around
>>337442731
>not cheating yourself a 100k fleet
>>337442556
I have around your number of ships but half combat value, like 4k
what's your secret?
>>337443019
Components? Weapons? etc.
>>337441540
So how long until we get a mod/ dlc to freely change the ruler title?
I want my chairmen, first citizens, tyrants, primus inter pares, chancellors, general secretaries, potentates, grand moffs, lord protectors and all the other neglected titles.
Anybody else here playing Venerable humans? I still have all my original leaders from the start minus one scientist who disappeared. More of them floating around 190-200 years old and maxed out. That Tree of Life bonus on top of that for my leaders is bonkers for extending thei lives even more.
Love my slightly Immortal Empire.
>mfw a war goes on beyond the initial clash of big ass fleets, every big fleet has been destroyed and it becomes a gruelling war of attrition with endless streams of ships going into battle straight from the factories
>>337443076
I have three ship types, one for each type of weapon, most energy class have UV rays (I think they're III), projectile class have railguns and missile class have space torpedoes I
>>337443019
battleships I guess, one gives me 1k combat value for 8 against total fleet number
>Weak alliance far away declares war on me
>They use hyperspace and wormhole tech
>Can only get to one of my systems, big alliance blocking them

Took like 100 years but I won that war
>>337442731
The AI literary has infinity energy and bonus minerals even on the lowest difficulty setting
IS THIS GAME WORTH MONEY OR NOT?
I'm kind of hesitant because I bought CK2 and just felt bored out my mind and repulsed by the Jewish DLC practices.
>>337443479
It depends
It can be fun for a day or two
But it really is just addiction
The game itself currently is very shallow
How good are military stations?
The fact that they can automatically redirect warped ships towards them and can be outfitted with all kinds of big guns makes them seem really cool, but has anyone experimented with them yet? I'm considering building a bunch along a border I share with some aggressive parrot assholes. I'm going to insult them and hopefully goad them into a stupid war.
>>337442731
i think you must enslave your own Race before enslave other alien, and then race for arm before other alien ready.
>>337443606
They use waaaaaaaaaay too much energy
And they aren't strong enough to justify that
>>337443431

sasuga swedish AI
ive traded everything i can with this guy and his 3 points away from an alliance. Is there anything else i can do? Im always stuck with making alliances. He also has no rivals
So, what happens if I liberated some planets during a war and then liberate more planets during another one with the same dude, do they join the first faction or do they become another spehhs empire?
Basically, If I wanna give more clay to my freshly liberated allies should I choose "give planets" in the war goals or "liberate planets"?
>>337443736
Have better fleets.
>>337443736
Suck his fungus dick.
>>337443736
When I was that close with one of my guys I threw open immigration and gave him a research pact benefiting only him to push him over the edge.
Can't wait to for my Federation with those Dragon bastards, we'll own a quarter on the map together.
>>337443736
The biggest thing I can think of is either give him one more favorable trade if you can and/or the biggest thing right now would be to try and improve your military power. If you manage to become equal that still would leave you at just -1, so I'm not really sure what else you could do.
>be federation leader
>war breaks out
>start building some pretty darn awesome federation ships to turn back the enemy horde
>pump a shitload of minerals into building them
>few days before building is complete federation leadership changes
>building of the ships is cancelled

okay, this is seriously pissing me off losing several thousands of minerals that way
Is this a bug or can some primitive nations into space?
>>337444186
I saw that too
not sure what to make of it
>>337442556
It started small....a few robot workers went missing......Now I have a full on rebellion on my hands
>>337442709
Do you use robots?
>>337441540
Any anons wanna play some multiplayer together?
>>337444186
Fairly sure it's a bug, also it's not just primitives as one screenshot i saw earlier had an iron age space station
>but why
BECAUSE YOU'RE A FILTHY XENO
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Jesus christ, I went to take a look on the official forums to see how many people are complaining about sectors.
And then there's this guy who goes in every single sector thread to argue that sectors being retarded is a good thing. That somehow your god emperor or avatar of god not having control over the planets in a sector is logical and is the entire point.
And then there are the people that praise sectors because they are absolute shit at micromanaging and a player tat actually spends time to improve themselves should be dragged down to their level because praise shitty sector AI.
How can those people exist.
>>337444607
can you do anything fun with vassals, such are purging their main pop and resettle your own or anything like that?
>>337444695
Paradox forum users are known biggest cocksuckers on the internet.
>>337444528
I'd be up for it, I'd probably drop out after 3 or so hours though, it's 2:50am here
>>337444695
I just wanted my retarded as leader to just build fucking minimum farms and focus on building power plants.
"Hey senpai, I'm giving you this sector, just focus on getting my credits ok?"
"No problem senpai...... BUILD FUCKING FARMS EVERYWHERE."
>>337443221
Keep researching. You get a tech called 'Forced Conduit' or something which adds another 50 years for your leader. Makes your population a little unhappy though.
My faction ruler is 310, but that's with the resilient perk for +25, conduit for +50, tree of life for +10, and at least four +5 leader lifespan repeatable techs.
Hopefully he doesn't die anytime soon.
>>337444731
probably I havent played around much with my vassals. You also probably need to be a xenophobe to do that stuff

Thankfully at that point I have enough skill level stuff so that they start at lv 4.
Can you do shit like sabotage other empires without going to war? Or inconvenience them in some other way?
I'm between 2 big strong empires and I decided to be a pacifist so my military size and tech isn't great so I have nothing to do.

>>337443093
You get most those titles depending on your government choice.
Transcendent Empire gets 'God Emperor', the Science commune or w/e gets 'Overseer'. Pretty sure two of the government types have the Lord Protector and General Secretary titles.
How do I make robots? I have the research but I can't figure out how to actually make them.
>>337444984
I make no promises about my ability.
But I will try.
>>337445042
you create them like buildings on the planet surface screen, just pick a tile without pop
>>337444971
It really sucks when everyone dies at the same time
So much god damn influence to replace everyone at once
>>337444976
Yes, but you need to research cyborgs and another technology to send them

I love that shit. Happened to me once with a faction that had a big tech edge on me but a small fleet.
I had my science ships sitting with the fleet just to keep up with all the debris being dropped, they literally let me skip two tech levels of research with the material I got.

>>337441907
I may be wrong. But I think what's happening is your sector modifies POPs on their planets. Like you do.
>>337445502
yeah, that's what I'm doing, just gives me a message saying game not found

But I'll persevere.

Yes, after you unlock technology and if they live not on your home type planet they will have a chance to change themselves

Get in here and let's purge each other for being heretical scum.
>>337445981
I think it depends on morale and your policies.
I've created a sector of about 6 planets full of synths just to see what would happen when I mix them with other races but everything goes fine.
I wonder if I prohibit relocation...

Speaking of Distant Worlds, is it a good game to play to get the full rogue trader experience?
>>337445902
And nothing of value was lost.

How do my people migrate to other empire's planets? I have a trade agreement allowing it. Do I just wait or do I need to do something?
>>337441540
At least you got one tile. One of my arid planet has none so my only hope is terraforming it twice.
I'm going to make Protoss, Zerg and Terran and see how well I can be Minsk.

>>337446496
pops will migrate automatically to planets where they'll have higher happiness. You'll see a pop with a little flag on the surface when it's migrating.
>>337445823
Sounds more like goths.
What do I have to do to actually get the fucking sectors to at least build defensive bases ? Even by setting the option the refuse to do anything but build infrastructure and recruit troops.
>>337446496
They'll do it on their own, provided that the other civilization has planets with open slots, and that those planets have high habitability and happiness values for your species
>>337446358
My doctrine allows me to only choose two Synth policies:
1. Never, ever, fucking build a robot.
2. Robots are allowed, but only as artificial slaves
>>337446625
We want nothing beyond the total destruction of all non-Ur-Quan sentience.
>>337446719
Make bases complete and utter shit.
From what I've seen the sector will only build defensive bases only if they were auto made.
The auto made defense base that they build is equipped with only small red lasers and regen armor.
They actually build that.
>>337445823
Some crazy fuck in my game attacked the only fallen empire in the galaxy, won (a liberation war apparently) the empire split and that's when I swooped in a grabbed those ringworlds

That guy is well known for that shit.
Stellaris isn't the first time he runs around praising the broken bits as "working as intended". His favourite phrase.

I guess I'll give that a try, god the AI in this game is broken at times.
I wonder if I should turn my sectors in vassals and be fucking done with it.
>>337443458
no wonder they don't care about instant resource trades at all then. somehow 1 mineral per month is a godlike trade for them though, do they have no simulated resource gains at all?

>>337447209
There's always this one leader who starts a "Let's stop the purging!" faction whenever I've conquered a slew of planets that need cleansing.
I've always found it funny how she never gains any support, and then the purges finish and she disappears. Only to appear again with the next planetary genocide.
>>337447296
>>337447296
I can understand it a bit though the game assumes that if your homeplanet unifies that everyone becomes equal under the global government which doesn't have to be a thing so it does limit how far you can roleplay.
>>337447454
Pop you purge create a stop the purging faction moran.

Gonna have to check again when I'm home
>>337447402
I'm guessing this is the best way to do things in the long run? Making use of a nice +2 bonus is satisfying but massing power plants/mining stations/research labs on a single planet seems like the best way to go because of % modifiers
>>337447402
>mfw getting a planet like that with +10% minerals robot workers
I literally don't know what to spend minerals on, I'm always at my limit
Gonna do a false flag attack on paradox forum later, claiming that i would like the option to determine gender-ratio for my empire, so that i can roleplay as a matriarchy.
The actual reason is of course that i want to get rid of vaginas fucking up my leadership
>>337447523
Their leader is always the same woman though.
>>337447816
Likely QUALITY paradox coding
>>337447763
Build a lot of ships and station them on spaceports with -% unkeep modifiers and with admirals with -% unkeep as well.
Just having them is enough to scare neighborns into leaving you alone or to keep your vassals at bay.
>>337447396
Same here when you make a monarchy the should atleast have the same last name.
>>337447641
How can you mod that ?
So, there's no synthetic/cyborg races from the start, but apparently you can have a synthetic takeover. Can you play a machine empire this way as they become your main faction, or do you lose the game?
>>337447813
I swear I always get vaginas as 80% of my leaders, 2/3 of which are dindus.
>>337441540
Anyone got shitskin removal mod?
>>337447889
You can't play as a synth but you can let synth literally take over all your pops with purgin/relocation I believe.
I don't think you're forced into keeping your original race.
>>337447889
I think there's a mod for that
and 2bh synethetic races are such a SF staple I'm surprised they didn't fit at least one in, color me surprised if a robot-focused expansion doesn't come out later
I don't know why everyone gets so butthurt about femnazis/dindus in their empires. Why are you all playing as humans? There's literally 100+ ayylmaos you could play as instead.
I typically just ignore genders of the ayy leaders anyway. Just assume they are male or not even male/female because their biology could be that different.
Every empire I've met have been goody two shoes, where are all the aggressive fuckers?
>>337447990
Don't you have to constantly build synths though for planet pop?
>>337448035
That's what I did. Which surprised myself too since I almost always played as boring human in other sci-fi games.
>>337448054
In my case the aggressive empire always gets blobbed by the more 'peaceful' ones.

Basically i replaced all the none asian faces with the asian ones in the portrait section and deleted all the none asian names from the name list section.
There are only Chinese and Japanese names in the game, so I looked up popular Koreans name and added those too.

>>337448250
On the upside, my admiral is female
>>337448035
Just leaves a bit of a bitter taste that the devs are trying to force an agenda through the game.
>>337448231

More like you're so deep down the /v/ shitposting hole that you see everything as pushing an agenda, anon
If you were on the other side you'd be complaining about how the vile patriarchy was overrepresented in the game

NEVER EVER edit your real game files.

I think they were just lazy.
>>337448513
And on what foundation would i do that? It's simply a fact that the majority of leaders are females.
Fucking backstabbing secret agent.
Does this always happen or is it random.
>>337446992
That's where most people realize it. The game has a good way of throwing wool over your eyes in the first few hours.
>>337448565
Random
>>337448360
I don't know if I would say Agenda. It's less Agenda and more just 'in a future equality based society people of all races and genders will be able to advance to leadership positions based on merit alone'. It's less agenda and more just a general thing.
The closest thing they could have done in this day and age was to just use two human models, one white male and female, and just ignored the whole other racial thing. But if they had all the leader profiles be white males of various complexions or faces? You know some people would complain about that shit.
Covering your ass as a small developer =/= an agenda, to be completely honest.
>>337448560
Have you counted them, though, on a larger sample base than 5
Or is it just confirmation bias

Consider letting the planet go. He drags the process out for fucking ever.
I ended up just letting the planet's people nuke itself after a particularly bad operation he fucked up.
>when you reduce the size of the galaxy and forget to reduce the number of AI spawns
Also that guy to the east of muh spess communist paradise is a militant isolationist fallen empire.
>>337448565
its random even on observation post if you are too aggressive i think, its great how you can pull illuminati shit on planet native
Are migrating pops still loyal to you? Can I make massive breeding planets and have them all emigrate to foreign empires and then have them revolt to me?
do sectors remove tile blockers?
>>337449045
yes
>>337448921
It's funny how it plays out like a Jason Bourne novel or some shit. Where he kicks the ass of all your spies.
Is there anyway he can win though? I'm guessing if he delays long enough for the interstellar age to arrive?
The game is so complicated ... I am having a hard time getting to know it even though I enjoy the idea of such games.
Why cant they make a fucking UI that is not complete garbage in these kinds of games? Why must everything be so fucking complicated and tiny???
>>337449029
That sounds fucking hilarious if possible
>>337449212
You will get timed event
Try to not do it
>>337449219
Stellaris is about as complicated as Civ 5. Which is to say, not complicated at all.
>>337449219
Nigger.
This is by far the easiest paradox game to get into.
It literally took me only 10 minutes to pick up the mechanics when Ck2 took me hours.
Stop being a retard and put some effort into it.
>>337449219
>Half of the people in the thread shitpost about game being 'too barebones'
>Other half complain about 'too complicted/muh first paradox game'
I think ALL of you are fucking retarded.
But as a completion prize; have a nice wallpaper.
does setting a sector to military even do anything? I see no defense bases, no military buildings getting built
>>337448565
These little random events really make this game, they need more of them.
>>337449467
According to the files all the presets should at least build constructor ships and recruit garrisons.
Only setting it on defense will let it build bases, but on practice shit's bugged.
>>337448565
What's happening here ?
>>337449219
Yeah the UI kinda sucks balls, there's so many little things that are missing from it that are obvious after two hours of playtime and thus the only reason they've not implemented them is laziness
The game is not particularly difficult though
>>337448834
So focusing on evasion is actually viable ?
>>337449318
Civ5 has infinitely better UI
>>337441787
Here you go.
Is it just me or spammed corvettes shit on bigger ships
Also strike craft suck dick, instead of going off and attacking like fucking fighters should do, they stay glued to the ship and only attack at very close range
>>337449592
I'd infiltrated a backwards civilization and worked on getting my people into key-positions so I could take over the planet - basically alien infiltration, but with me as the alien.
Then I got the message that one of my people had fallen in love with a native.
So what's GOAT traversing method and weapon system?
Really wish they'd fix the Prethoryn Scourge bug. I want to continue this game.
>>337449942
Ow damn when can you infiltrate primitive planets ?
I only have the options of passive aggressie research.
>>337449787
Civ5 has the better UI but Stellaris is a better game.
Don't get me wrong, I like Civ though.

After doing a lot of hyperlane playthroughs everything else just feels like cheating.

Never, EVER join an Alliance that is peaceful. Join an aggressive one and go to war. Fuck diplomacy in this game until they add more depth to it. Also..
>Fungus.
>The United Fungal Hordes.
>Cannot actually do anything as Fungi.
>Can't infect worlds or anything.
>We do have robots and xenomorph armies but nobody ever comments. Never comes up in RP events either.
>Game just ignores that we are a collective conciseness of advanced Fungi with androids and alien armies working for us.
I'm sure it'll come in an expansion.
>>337449787
There is nothing wrong with the UI in Stellaris. You figure out the whole thing in less than 30 minutes.

>>337450128
>Fuck diplomacy in this game until they add more depth to it
My only gripe. I mean, the usual 4X options are mostly there, but on the whole diplomacy just feels so passive. Nothing happens unless you actively go looking for it.
Not enough mapmodes, why isn't there a alliance map for example? They're fun to look at and shouldn't be hard to implement
Overall the game is mediocre but has potential to be perhaps the best space strategy game on the market (excluding Aurora because it's only for true autists)
>>337450128
We need real covert ops, like sabotage or proking rebellions.
>>337450363
Apparantly they mostly wanted to avoid their usual glut of map modes, but admit they probably went a bit too far. I think they said they'll probably be putting a few in.
>>337449843

How the fuck do I make my custom races spawn in a new game?
>>337450262

Don't tell me it's all the purging I did.
>>337450494
shouldn't clicking on the eagle thing until there's a lock to it guarantee a spawn?
>>337450598
What eagle thing?
>>337450363
>Aurora
i know its for autist but does it truly have everything stellaris has and more?
>>337450634
see >>337449843, in the race screen
>>337446558
Anyone?
>>337450395
This.
I've gotten my ass handed to me in wars so many times because the enemy fleets were perfect counters to mine. How was I supposed to know their entire fleet was made of torpedo ships when my defenses relied solely on shields?
Nigger I can make artificial intelligence and terraform planets but you're telling me I can't build spy satellites or listening posts or something? Come the fuck on.
>>337446028
I have the same scenario except I'm a despotic hegemony. I'm going to wait for them to mature to a technological age and then assimilate them into my empire. Human slaves for all!
>>337450479
Going to have to now, hopefully I can edit. Is blonde hair in default sliders? I didn't see it and now I'm upset.
They will make tons of DLCs for this game later on, won't they? So if I want to play with a friend who has all the DLCs, would I need to purchase them all? That's pretty jewish of them
>>337450395
Yes, exactly
the advisor (iirc?) screen from ck2 is what we need
