>ask any questions you got
One question I have is has anyone capture the prethoryn swarm queen?
have about 80+hrs into it now and have finally gotten to the point of doing so and can't find her. The wiki says it may be bugged :'(
>>337792990
So I ran into a problem while uplifting a species of tombworld roaches. For some reaason my science ship wouldn't start the project and just hang around in orbit. Then the project timed out so I tried again. Same failure. When I reloaded a save, I suddenly couldn't uplift them anymore, they disappeared from he diplomatics screen. Am I missing something or is this just some stupid bug?
>>337792990
You need to kill their fleets, sometimes they leave a queen behind that you can then capture.
>>337794116
You don't need a science ship to uplift someone, it's done through the journal thingy. Other than that it's probably a bug.

Finally. What a long game.

>>337802636have you tried right clicking a system in the galactic overview screen? :^)
>>337803216
Strategic resources owned by your sectors are available to you provided the sector doesn't have a building that uses that resource.
>>337803454
theres a tech penalty for having a large total population
>>337803454
To stop tech just being completely exonential and helping smaller empires not be 100% totally fucked.
>>337802309
All sounds really good, glad they're listening.
>>337803497
I've noticed a weird thing where strategic resources in sectors are available to your core worlds, but not the other way around or even sector to sector.
So if one sector has a free Xeno pet, and another sector wants to build a zoo, it can't.
>>337803454
more pops = longer it takes to research
>>337803696
That's probably just to stop them from being like "I want power, OH YOU JUST FOUND A WASSNAME STONE THANKS!"
>>337803696
sectors can't build strategic buildings so they don't use strategic resources even if they're already built.
>>337803696
Sectors don't share with each other. A sector will first try to make use of any available strategic resources. If they can't use the resources, they're available to you as the player controlling the core worlds.
>>337803454
The more pops you have the more research points you need to spend to research new techs
>>337803832
I assumed that was the fact, just caught me off guard the first time I put a planet with one of those buildings in a sector and was bombarded with alerts.

>>337804367
Unless I just absorbed a vassal and am in dire need of less core planets, I tend to make a few well developed worlds then grow off of that cluster.
Once a sector is well off enough you can even get them to produce their own colony ships and set up even more colonies in sector without having to have them as a core world first.
>>337792990
Are there carriers in this game?

Hyperspace m8. It's fast as fuck and allows you to explore entire galaxy before most empires even plant their first colony, but it can be awkward at times.

im guessing you have to upgrade your starport about a million times before you can build it

That's just a bug, the icon can show the last empire you were looking at rather than what it's supposed to be.
>>337805550
It doesn't say you can build "one big ass ship". It says you can build an oversized ship. Initially, that means one corvette with more slots than a regular corvette.

They really need to change how many planets you can manage directly and how sectors work based on your government type.
I want to see hiveminds or autocratic dictatorships that allow you to control as many planets as you want without the need for sectors, or having sectors become directly answerable to you and only act as a time saving device.

I have a slight dilemma. Early on in the game, an alliance of two factions decided they were going to fuck me up and started a war with me (their reasoning: I had a lot of resources). I have three planets, and right now they're camping my home planet with a 3K fleet, bombarding it and repeatedly attempting to invade with ground forces (fortunately I loaded the planet with defense forces so they've failed over 15 times now). For whatever reason I am not getting ANY research options for weaponry. I am 30 years in and only have my starting red lasers and missile defense systems. I have corvettes, destroyers and cruisers at my disposal, but even when I can muster up a 2k fleet of corvettes they're obliterated in seconds. I have one friendly faction that is also at war with my enemies, but they aren't helping me out at all. I welcome any strategies, because right now I'm stuck with buying up defense forces to stop invasions while praying for some new technology to upgrade my battle ships.
>>337806636
It's a mid-ish game tech for the first two, then a late repeatable one that just adds +1 each time.

>If you select a colony ship while on the galatic map, it will show all possibly habitable planets in systems you've explore. Green planets are ideal, yellow planets are non ideal and red planets mean you dont have the tech to colonize them
>When you select a ship on the galactic map, the yellow ring around it will tell you exactly how far the ship can move. This can be helpful on gauging if you can make those long jumps to another arm of the cosmos or not!
>You can check how much food your world needs to grow on the plant information tab. Once you have maxed out on pops, you just need to keep it at 0, so you can go back and build over old food plots!
>Chances are you are either going to have an excess of minerals or an excess of energy. The ai monitors how much of its own resource it has and its value is dervied from that. So an AI with low minerals will never trade their minerals away. You can use this system to trade off your excess for what you are lacking!
>A full embassy just won't do the job! If you want to nurture an alliance you're going to have to squeeze the diplomacy out of them. Declare a rivalry with people they've declared rivalries with and make sure you have a months long trade agreement with them. It will add modifiers all around
>While we're talking about declaring rivalries. When you do, it will create influence for you which is a very hard to come by resource. However, not all rivalries are the same.

I sent a fleet to go and take out one half of the enemy's stations, but they still won't budge. The surrender terms require me to give over all of my planets if they're to be accepted. I might just take over one of their weaker planets, then use that as a platform to raise an assault army and take over the rest of their neighboring planets. Either that or I'll have to cruise around and shoot down unidentified alien ships and hope I can research some new weaponry tech from the wreckage.
Finally won the game that I started on release night. My research was truly garbage but my military forces were quite solid. The victory screen could've included a few more statistics - That was a little disappointing. Oh well..
>>337803818
They do use them if they're already built, but the strategic ressource needs to be in their sector.
>>337804367
Best to queue some farms to grow it faster, clear tiles with ressources and build a bunch of robot pops. Then you can just dump it.
>>337806636
Yes, look for the "make new sector" button. You shouldn't have to build frontier outposts ever unless it's to get a few systems with no colonizable planets (yet).

You fucked up when you had 2 planets after 30 years. You should restart because you've already got no chance even if you somehow win that war. Forty years in you should be in the double digits at least.

you should be able to set your own demands for the war, as well. If you choose something easy like liberate one planet it will take hardly any warscore and you can end the war very quickly.
>>337808118
Their ships were outfitted in a way that countered yours. If you had Lasers and Armor but they had Lasers (that go through armor) and Shields (that stop lasers), you'd be fucked.

>You fucked up when you had 2 planets after 30 years. You should restart because you've already got no chance even if you somehow win that war. Forty years in you should be in the double digits at least.
that's a big fat load of bullshit

So you want a different game?

tl;dr probably whining about game design from someone who never made a game
>modify my primary species' genes
>no longer primary species
>I have no primary species
How can I fix this?
should I avoid surplus food or can it be transferred to my colonies ?
>>337808857
Avoid
>>337808713
How does that not fit in to Stellaris' vision?
It's a game literally about the development of nations. Unfortunately, it just stops at colonies and war.
There's hundreds of years of history that comes after those things, and they are vastly more interesting.
>don't tech federation in early game because I'm surrounded by pacifist cucks that don't wanna be friends with me because of "differing war policies"

I've never made a computer before, but I sure as hell know what parts go in and how they work.
>>337807293
I thought it was a fuzzy nightstalker.
>>337808961
Food is only useful for growing pops, once the planet is full try to get the food to 0. Negative food will reduce happiness though.
>>337808960
You don't want to be in a federation with AI, only the leader can declare war and that rotates every 5 years. And the AI is fucking stupid.
There is so many things wrong about this game and so many things I like. I have a growing pop stuck on a planet, it can not grow because initially I moved one of my primary species to the planet and that primary species was there long enough to start the birth of a growing pop and then it left before it finished.
>>337802309
Looks pretty good, I was having a war yesterday and I just noticed how bad the war mechanics are. Hopefully the new diplomatic stuff will be amazing.
>>337809057
but I want to send my surplus food to Poland so that they grow faster

>>337809213
Well you can't. Stack food and give them that gas that reduces growth time by 15%
game lags like a fucking bitch in this state, got a i7-4790k @ 4.00GHz
it's crusader kings 2 all over again, unplayable at later stages
How do you get the event about gene modding? I want to start race wars in my empire
>>337809281
So I had my science slug people vassalize themselves early to get protection from all of their xeno hating neighbors. Unfortunately my overlord is a lazy piece of shit and won't join any alliances so I can't help clean up the Unbidden. None of the other races have that protect freedom trade option either. What do?
>>337808301
It's true though. There is literally 0 reason not to colonize planets.
>>337809631
except if you have shit luck and no colonizable planet in the viscosity
>>337809621
>vassalized themselves
Imagine that. Somehwere out there in space, there is a whole planet of cucks
Does everyone have horrible lag in late game ? It's freezing so hard every month it makes it impossible to enjoy this. Is it different with a better computer ? Any solution ?
>picture unrelated
how do I get my populace on colonized worlds to not be so god damn sad?
>>337809792
Alter their genes to be happy.

Guys help

>clear all blockers and ask people to migrate

>as i colonize another planet they (my guys) all leave except a 0.1 growing pop taht can't
Why do my xenophiles hate the space niggers so much? they weren't even repulsive!
Also is it jsut me or this game is not fun?
>war is too easy
>pacifism is too hard
i swear to god noone will trade with me or form an alliance even +140 rep empires.
Help me have fun /V/!
>>337809737
Got a decent rig and still lagging, although not as bad that it becomes unplayable - Just annoying stutters and FPS drops.
>>337809792
By using propaganda.
Here are some happy ayy lmaos i conquered and successfully integrated into my human empire.
>>337807598
>using cloud saves
>ever
There's no reason to ever use cloud anything, unless you're some mouth breathing normie retard who needs access to all their selfies when they upgrade to the newest iphone iteration.
>>337809717
I felt the same way until the united federation of fuck science tried to 3v1 me and got absolutely wrecked by my overlord. On a related note, how afraid of the anti-science fallen empire? They're at war with me and I send them an insult every few years but I haven't seen a single fleet of theirs
>>337810083
>I send them an insult every few years
Absolute madman
>>337809701
There are always planets. You don't have to go to the systems right next to you. You can skip ahead and let the border close automatically.
Right now I'm at 50 worlds with only arid, tropical, ocean and continental colonizable.
>>337809930
>pacifism is hard
kek
>>337809267
Isn't it ultimately up to you to release their world, even if they have it as an election promise?Does this mean that the player is the spooky Iluminaty controlling the whole empire?
Am I the only one that think planetary edicts are not worth their cost?
>>337810260
they get better later on.
>>337810302
Better enough to warrant a 100 influence cost?
>>337810189

care to elaborate?
>>337809914
>10 star scientist
how do you even get them to live that long?
>>337810379
Yeah, I had shit tons of influence late game, but it has a low cap so you have to spend it on something.
>be humans
>Spend six thousand years rebuilding the same space mine
>Game is boring as fuck
>Decide to make generic Klingon warrior race.
>Have to keep rivalries up with bordering nations to maintain my influence

>Start building defense stations for the coming tide.
>Even the other dick ass warrior races.
Gotta say, this made the game a lot more interesting
Just found that if you hover over the research cost you can see how much pops increase it's time.
>>337810456
personal trait that makes him live 25 years longer + trait that makes leaders live 30 years longer, + research that makes them live longer + fast learner

>>337810531
Oh cool.
>>337810560
>not having all your leaders be 200+ years old
Is it possible, if you spawn near a fallen empire, to eventually get them to like you and just piggy back off of their empire? Or will fallen empires always be pricks.
>>337810681
they'll always be pricks
>>337810531
Wow, now I feel dumb.
>>337810496
I have been running the three empire wide edicts that increase research. I just find it odd that empire wide edicts cost less than planetary.
>>337810617
in any game my average is 150 years
>>337810456
>>337809914
wait there are stars beyond 5?
When did you realize Stellaris wasn't the game that made space great again?
>vassalize / capture planets from all neighbors
>nothing to do anymore other than wait and build up your fleet blob as deterrence / for Fallen Empires
>political integration takes fucking 600 months and you can only integrate one empire at a time
Every single faction apart from the one Fallen Empire in my universe is either Inferior or Pathetic compared to mine. What the fuck is there to even do in this game? I'm playing a militaristic conqueror and I can't begin to fathom how boring playing non-conquering races must be. Do you just twiddle your thumbs around waiting for the rare random events? The domestic policy stuff isn't nearly enough to occupy anyone.
>>337810681
They'll be pricks, though not hostile to you. The one neighboring me is +110 and their attitude is positive "Patronizing".
>>337809893
Nope, it's some philosophical crap that will give you a new empire edict. If you are good enough to decipher it of course.
>>337810681
They won't give you anything, no help, no border access. You can trade with them though if you are in good standing, I sold off strategic resources I wasn't using and gave them research agreements (that are useless for them) to buy energy and minerals to fund my other efforts.
Since then I took over the entire Empire and have their sweet ring worlds, surprisingly their people are happy with the situation as well.
>>337810867
>When did you realize Stellaris wasn't the game that made space great again?
When I played it.
>Start game
>No colonizeable planets for miles
>Restart
>Start game
>Minerals only no energy allowed
>Restart
>Start game
>No energy allowed, menerals only
>Restart
>Finally get a good set up
>Every alien I meet is the exact opposite ethos of me
This game is starting to get annoying
If pops on a planet have filled all the squares would is there a mechanic where a pop moves off-planet and immigrates to somewhere not so crowded
>>337810984
If migration is allowed they can do it. There's also a planetary edict that makes the planet more attractive for migrants to travel to as well.
>>337810984
Resettle.
>>337810982
There's an easy mode mod on Steam Workshop.
How do I build an effective fleet? It seems like the one that always works out the best is massive hordes of max evasion corvettes with point defense, but is there something better?
This is fucking retarded.
>>337811598
Yeah, genetics is broken
