Is becoming a vassal to the biggest faction in the game, and then pissing off a Fallen Empire to the point where they want to eradicate us, a valid strategy for taking down my enemies?

Happiness on one of my jungle worlds is getting wonky. I'm playing xenophile materialists, continental affinity. Subgroup of pops gene-modified themselves to jungle affinity and the two new groups started bombing each other right away.
Now everyone on the planet is xenophobic. Conflict has died down but happiness is hovering around 45-50 for a good portion of the pops.
Research is dicking me too, haven't gotten anything to improve happiness recently. I wouldn't be able to research it any time soon anyways. My pop is to the point where research gets +100% penalty to point needed to complete techs.
On the plus side my federation's most recent war grabbed up planets that were separating all the members from each other (playing hyperspace only, lanes can be a bitch but I like the 'terrain' it creates).

Anyone else really dislike this whole 'sector' nonsense.

I don't trust the computer to manage my planets in the way I want, which is primarily making them energy producers.

It's like trusting the AI in Civilization to build appropriate tile upgradeds.

Any mods that set planet control to infinite? I feel like it's not really an important part of the game at all to make sectors

Honestly I don't get what to big deal is. Hand over fully built planets and only let the AI upgrade existing tiles.
Just take the 25% loss in exchange for having more planets.

That's probably how space combat will be in reality. Small ships that are light and agile and just fire swarms of self-guided missiles.

It's like how mechs will never be a real thing because tanks are just so much better. When it comes to military, it's always function over fashion.

Slaves don't start rebellions and their faction doesn't really do anything. A conscious decision that devs made out of laziness, since when slaves functioned like an actual faction it made political systems that rely on slaves almost unplayable - one day majority of their empire would just rise up and kill them.

The initial computer upgrades are supposed to determine if they charge in or hold back, but it doesn't seem to effect much.

What does irritate me a little bit is how fags ITT are obsessed with conquering the galaxy/winning the game as if that has ever been the point of a paradox game.

Even Vanilla Vicky2 was more fun to play than Stellaris in my opinion. Yes the expansions added features and much needed interface interaction, but my main issue with Stellaris is the 4x gameplay.

The game doesn't really have the depth to engross a player by other means. The diplomacy is barebones as fuck, planet management is limited by sector stuff, tech is randomised so you don't feel like you are working towards something cool until it randomly appears on your research screen. The default settings for number of the empires in the game also ensure that you are gonna have at least 5 close neighbours and least one of them will fucking hate you because you have different political opinions and shit. (If you turn the number of empires down the game will become even more boring though)
Eventually you run out of things to do, stations to build and planets to explore, you get a notification about your resources getting maxed out and think: hey, since I have absolutely nothing to do I might as well build a nice fleet and go fuck up that xenophobe asshole to the west.

Sure, they're easily replaceable, fast in star systems (faster than destroyers), are pretty evasive so the large weapons of the destroyers/cruisers/battleships miss fairly often, and if you have weapons that bypass shields/armor, then they can fuck shit up. Just beware destroyers with autocannons or missles if you don't have point defense.

That's when you tech up and wait for the end of the universe.

Or get bored and play a new save file. Either way. You can even take another page out of Paradox's older games and just assign a specific star date as being the 'end' and see where you are in terms of the rest of the galaxy.

Actually come to think of it, is there a graph that shows how far apart nations are in general or do you just have to eyeball it based on all the nations you can see?

Apart from general lack of content these are my major grievances with the game. Adding these type of simple commands or construction / science ship automation would cut so much time spent on meaningless micro. Shit becomes infuriating especially if you're colonizing fast or conquering areas and receiving huge population boosts = increased borders everywhere.
