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. :^)
>>337113597
>slaves cannot rebel
why not enslave everything then?
>>337113892
>Codex
>not using fitgirl's repack
LOL
>>337114059
MalwareBytes turned up nothing.
>>337114079
Thats what I'm gonna do now, although I think they still get seperatism
>>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.
>>337114132
>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
>Leaders dying left and right
>Expect the Emperor to die soon since he is 85 years old already

>>337109905
mfw Im a cute xenophile/pacifist space slug ;^)
Anons, I have 34-38 fps on galaxy screen at the start of the game. How fucked my PC is going to be in mid-late game?
>6.3
Fanatic Xenophobe Spirtualist Divine Mandate reporting in.
Time to slaughter all other races.
>>337116862
What the fuck
What size of map do you playing?
50fps in the middle game if I don't zoom space battles
Is this game worth pirating if I absolutely fucking hate EU4? I just wanted EU3 with a better interface, fuck
>>337116983
You will be destroyed by someone during first 30 minutes of the game
No civilization will want to live near space muslims
>>337117104
I think you mean Space Crusaders.
>>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
Crusaders tried to take their land back
>>337117357
Developed colonies give you a huge boast in research
So if you aren't lucky with first systems, no you can't
>not being a spiritual militarist xenophile
>>337117357
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!

Fanatic Breeders trait when
This game needs classical music and mod, that removes all those fucking NIGGERS AND MUDSHITS.
>>337119471
I want this.
>First playthrough

>Oh look, I can integrate them my empire
>Wait for it to finish
>Suddenly every resource drops to -100 monthly
>AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR PLANETS ARE STARVING
>Assign everything to sectors hoping it will fix itself
>It doesn't look like it will
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

>Hopes dashed.
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
>>337116593

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
>tfw 8 year old computer
>Firaxis does an Alpha Centauri's spiritual sucessor
>It's shit
>Paradox does an EU in the space
>It's good
Mixed feelings
>>337124686
Beyond Earth is shit because it doesn't compare to SMAC
Stellaris has nothing to compare to so people automatically assume it's good
>>337124686
>Beyond Earth
>Alpha Centauri's spiritual sucessor
More like Civ 5 in space
>>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
>better combat
go to hell

>>337124907
>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

>>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.
>>337126362

haha epik xD
>>337125826
And muh pops. Once I hit the max pop on a planet, is there a reason to keep food production high? Or should I just do it so that it's neutral and re-purpose the remaining food tiles.
>>337126315

>>337126658
>>337126362
>le purging le xeno XDDD
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
the brighter shade of colour is the territory you can kind of look into, you know, look how many planets are in these solar-systems
the grey shade is fog of war
>>337126658
I dont want to be that guy but looking at humanity now makes it seem like we have few good qualities
>>337126836
there's a relocate button but I can't figure out how to use it. Says something when I try clicking it about not having it unlocked or something
>>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?
How many different classes of ships are there> I'm up to cruisers.

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
Sub 10 fps, not to mention stuttering every turn. There's a patch coming, but you can always look up how to turn off bloom via the console to get some performance buffs
>>337128340

And finally
>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
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.
What are some good starting traits for a new player? Is it like Civ 5 where war is complex or EU4 where war makes the game easier?
>>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
I want to wipe out the entire universe
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!

So it doesn't effect science like Civ?

>>337121502
>third reich+roman empire in space
>negress dictator
we wuz zulu matriarchy I guess?
>>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
>>337133496

>>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.

Wait, you don't get a tech tree to do with whatever you want? Do you get a limited amount of techs to pick from every time you can research a new one?

It's Civilization + Europa Universalis IN SPACE.

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.
>>337133862
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

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.
>>337134328
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.

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.

no, it was a reason for the pope to unity the entire christian community and fortify the church's power in the medieval era

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

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.

>>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.

didn't try to attack bigger fleets with smaller one tho.

I prefer to just have two versions of each class of ship, my "main weapon type" (eg missile spam), and something that deals with that weakness. (so a contingent of shield piercers)

So does who you marry/personal relations not matter at all any more? You just have random people pop up as successors? Kind of disappointing, I liked having detailed families, marriages, relations with people in ck2.
>>337109905

Scout more. There´s what, 8 planet types that you can colonize, and about 10-12 planet types in total. And initially you can only colonize your hometype. It just takes time senpai. Your first colony will likely be not that close to homeworld.

>>337138724
>There's warscore, right?
there is.
when you declare a war you can pick various goals, get a system to you or make them your vassal. That's about it.
to integrate vassals to your empire, you need a lot of influence resource and quite some time
Just finished the event to give my Synthetic pops full rights and signed an accord with them making it impossible for me to outlaw or enslave AI.
It's at this point my science ship runs into a Fallen Empire who tells me to cut that out. It doesn't take 'I literally can't' for an answer and destroys my fleets in war. Problem is, they can't enforce their demands because of the accords and as soon as the war is over they start whining at me again. Another war is probably on the horizon.
What do?

It IS annoying, but at the same time it helps stir a genuine feeling of chafing against your neighbor's borders that you can't get just from wanting to paint the map. You want more space because you NEED more space, not just because you want more space to be "owned" by you.

wut?
>>337139626
Politics, managing economies (though they're pretty simple in Stellaris), conquering enemies, etc.
I dunno why it's fun, it just is; plus, the RP aspect to Stellaris is a neat thing at least to me
>>337139590
It seems that here it's more simplified.
you need influence resource for 3 things aside of empire integration: building outpost to expand your borders (for systems without colonizable planets), hiring governor/scientist/admirals etc - quite cheap, and can live long enough, and various buffs for planets which are a bit expensive.
resource generates itself +3 for every(most) types of civilizations as far I gather, you can pump it up if to declare other nation your rival.
Until I actually tried to integrate nation - I didn't really have a problem with resource scarcity. Tho I'm new to grand strategy games.
>>337139752

fascist and communist military dictatorships are pretty similar
however, a communist empire doesn't _need_ to be militarist
And this is probably the start I'd recommend to beginners. Not the race per se, but at least game details. Large and slightly underpopulated so you have space to expand, and limit travel to hyperdrive so galactic travel is limited to lanes that you can control/force chokepoints

good thing ground armies are not relevant at all
how does managing your planets work? can you theoretically do it manually or are there giant penalties for managing too much shit yourself like the demesne limit from CK2?
>>337140196
All types can be countered. I've easily won a war against rocket spewing furries by placing one anti-rocket gun on each ship. Most of them just blew up halfway to my fleet. Lasers are heavily countered by good shields, projectiles by armor. Ideally you need all techs at a decent level but it is not always possible so just concentrate on one and take some side arm as an emergency switch.
>>337139919
I figured out I could just destroy their space station and then invade instead :^)
>>337141506
There is a core planet limit yeah, and you gain demense-style penalties if you go over it.
You then set "sectors" which are sort of weird pseudo-vassals who don't have their own militaries but manage their own development.
Collectivist + Fanatical Materialist space shrooms here. I went with the scientist run government and I'm enjoying it so far. Having tech choice is nice. I want to upgrade to the advanced version ASAP for even more choices.
However, are the +science output mods even working? Are they just hidden? I can't really see any place their effects are listed. I went with intelligent + natural sociologists, so science mods are my only racial bonus.
>>337141654
do these sectors have relations with you or are they just like the automanage button in Total War games?
>>337139395
Pacifist increases the number of embassies you have.
>>337141438
Just build robot armies anyways
What could possibly go wrong
>>337138290
With the right ethics or government type you can genocide to your heart's content. I'm a military dictatorship and xenophobic so I'm can change policy to allow enslavement and purging of xenos. Essentially if they don't live as slaves they don't live at all. I take planets I can live in, enslave all the locals in mines and farms then purge the rest. Add a military training camps and a statue of purity and enjoy.
>>337141092
>I wouldn't mind playing humans if I could only have asian pops so I can roleplay as Space Qing Dynasty
Agree
>play as niggers competing with poo in the loo
>whites and asian are fallen empires
>>337141837
if you don't go for intelligent AI you are fine
>>337141739
Sectors pretty much manage themselves like an AI player - which is to say, terribly. You can't really interact with them diplomatically from what I've seen, it's just an automanagement zone. I think one of the dev diaries talked about sector separatism but I've yet to see them do anything noteworthy.
So just how big is the largest map size?
>>337139514
Just the basic one. Everything else is junk or cosmetics.
Society has long since evolved past the insignificant rivalries and concerns of the individuals. We are numerous but one, and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. We stand truly equal....The purpose of the individual is simple: strengthen the collective. To enter the blackness of space we move as one, and we shall not be weakened by wanton separatism.
Bah, the game doesn't allow me to resettle the last spacecrab off of my new Gaia world.

No shit, that's exactly what I want.
>>337142071
Very big
So big, it's actually pretty scary
I aggressively declared war on the first alien race I encountered and destroyed their army with the fury.
How do I exploit them now that they are my vassal? I can't figure out how to steal all their shit and enslave their people.
>>337141932
So far all of those tweaks for white supremacists like yourself have been done very sloppily. You can't show the fullest of your white supremacy if you can't conquer a space nation with only black individuals if you delete all the non-white portraits from the game directory. There needs to be an option while making your government to have your pops, scientists, leaders and army mens to be a certain skin color. Plus it gives more roleplay options to the ones I have already stated.
Little hint that some people aren't aware about
Traits of scientists influence that technology you get to research
And you can really get unique shit if you have someone with maniaca trait
>>337142402
You can integrate them into your empire I believe.
>>337142425
>white supremacists like yourself
I am playing space slavs though
>>337142071
1,000 star systems. Devs have said that the engine could probably handle more than that, but it's the official limit. Very little is actually hardcoded in for the sake of moddability.
>>337142547
How?
>start up a game
>find a spacedwelling race right at the edge of my influence
>feed them tech as soon as I can
>two years later I have a vessel
I think I just dodged a bullet.
How easy is it to get into if I'm new to GSG?
Played enough 4x to know how they work though.
>>337142592
IIRC somebody on
>>337142649
you have an option when you communicate with them - "intergrate" at bottom. need to wait year or so, then pay a lot of influence.
till that they will do their thing, you can trade and such. if you at war with someone else - they'll send a fleet to aid your fleet.
What happened MOO?
>>337142851
Guess I'll go fuck some other guy up while I wait.
are alien civs randomized or pregen?
>>337142802
pretty easy I think, I never played any grand strategy what so ever. and timesinked 9 hours into this without realizing it
>>337142958
both
My goal is to find as many primitive planets as possible and slowly just integrate them into my empire.
How hard is it to get pre-space age civs to join me?
Does killing the Space Cows give you any decent research?
REMINDER that /gsg/ already provided a germanic name list, so you don't have to endure all these shit names:
http://mega.co.nz/#!BxczTKSL!dI5-p9V3t81D4FCgvX6KdcFcESL7rMQKys2qEmz2IIQ
It also removes Asian and Black portraits from the game, but it leaves Middle-eastern in it, so you might want to fix this yourself.
>>337142802
you might have a game or two where you fail within an hour. But after that you'll most likely get it.
>>337143071
/gsg/ living up to their sterling reputation yet again
>>337143071
nice, thanks
Is it just me or is this Distant Worlds for retards?
>>337143008
So if I create and save one, is it added to the pregen pool?
>>337119327
>Not rapid breeders
Come on man
>>337143071
>removes Asian and Black portraits
>Not making them a different race so you can findem as pre-space tech worlds
No worth it imo
>>337143242
Once you've saved them, there's a pheonix symbol by their name. You can click this to make the A) Always show up B) Sometimes show up or C) Never show up.
>>337143242
yeah, there is 3 options I believe - it doesn't spawn, it may spawn, it'll be forced to spawn in new game
>>337143289
Just take the name list then autist and delete the gfx folder in the mod folder.

So lets say I make ISIS they would be spiritual militaristic right ?
Is there a map model to show up alliances and federations?
So how does one win the game? Control 30% territory or something?
>>337143456
>respect
>for such a lazily done mod
You would get some respect if you could choose what color race to be without being extremely lazy and deleting the other portraits.
If you are going to be a x skin color supremacists what is the point if you can't enslave or purge people of skin color you don't like. /gsg/ proving yet again how shit they are
>>337143071
Does that mean you just removed all the non-western names and portraits?
So i have been following one of the precurser quest chains for a while, and it finally highlighted the machine civ homeworld, cybrex. I have a science ship just sitting in the system and there is no prompt to do anything. The quest says to "launch an expedition to discover their homeworld" but there is nothing in the system besides the quest highlight.
>>337143336

Neat. Thanks.

Completely new Germanic names for everything. White (and middle-eastern) portraits override the others, no new ones.
>>337143753
It was a quick fix yesterday thrown together by three anons in the thread and hastily released in order to enjoy the game properly throughout the night. End yourself if you don't appreciate these first steps or actually take this game seriously.

If you mod a trait to cost less, make a custom empire using the lower costs and the mod the trait back to normal again, can you still use that custom empire?
Where do I check all my current modifiers?
I'm making custom robot race and I'm editing traits to get multiple of them, (for example 5 extremely adaptive for 100% habitability and 5 repugnant traits at once so other species won't like me since I'm a robot) and I don't know if all those traits work so I wanted to check it.

this game is quite realistic
>>337142071
1000 stars by default. Every star has least 2 planets from seen. Probably 4-5 on average, with 10 at the most. So 2000-10000 planets.
Its pretty massive. And the size isn't hardcoded. A couple changes to the lua file, and you can do 2000 star systems if you want, but your computer probably can't handle it.
>>337144251
Did you actually take a fucking picture of your screen?

Is this game actually fun?
I heard it was lacking in features.
Wow, the amount of solitary spiritualistic xenophobes is astoundingI chose it too
There's a bug in the creation screen that allows you to take ineligible traits.
Still, it is retarded how alien slave tolerance doesn't allow you to take decadence.
So what is this game?
Is it Aurora 4x lite?
>>337145768
It's like Distant Worlds lite.
How do I remove all the black skins from the human race? 90% of my people are fucking niggers.
>>337145558
It's not.
You heard right.
Wait for DLC, it's a good skeleton but it desperately needs some meat on it.

after 6th colony I am overwhelmed be the shit going on all of my planets, then lose interest
how do you guys micro manage everything?
>>337146145
It's an upgrade to your planetary capital. You'll have to research it to build it.
>>337146145
no, it's upgrade for your initial building where you land. need 5 population to do it

guess.
Also after you maxed one colony out, you don't need to come back to it ever only if to upgrade buildings.
there is less planet micromanage than in regular 4x games.
>>337146293
>how do you guys micro manage everything?

I thought that only applied to your own species, I'm pretty sure you can purge aliens without collectivist.

The fuck? Someone help me out here. I declared war on some motherfuckers so I could control all of their shit. When I asked for war, I said I wanted their capital to be my vassal.
Then, I went for the capital and destroyed all of their armies. The dudes just said "Ok, we lose" and my army disappeared and we entered some sort of truce and I can't attack them again.
THE FUCK? HOW DO I MAKE THEM MY SLAVES?
>>337142745
>I have a vessel

>>337146926
>>337147106
You can purge xenos if you're xenophobic and/or collectivist. You can purge your own people if you're collectivist.
>>337147251
first of all, learn to read.
then, learn how vassal differs from slaves.
then, hopefully, grow a brain
>>337147251
Vassalization doesn't mean slavery, they still maintain their own empire.
>>337117292
Are you implying that Christians controlled trade between Western and Eastern empires with large taxes and subjugation for merchants to the point where Arabs grouped together to halt their expansion past Byzantine?
>>337147251
Vassals manage their own shit but go to war with whoever you do. You can eventually integrate them on the communication screen after a certain number of months have passed.

>>337147440
Whatever, just tell me how to dominate the faggots.
I declared war on them. I couldn't put every possible condition on the right because then my warscore was "too high", whatever the fuck that means. I simply chose to put "Vassalize opponent" as the one condition. But when the motherfuckers surrendered, nothing happened. My army simply disappeared off the map and the faggots are still roaming around doing whatever the fuck they want. And now I can't attack them because we're in some sort of truce I didn't agree with.
What's this bullshit?

>>337147878

>>337147983
You stupid retard. I asked them to be my vassals and they're literally the exact same fucking way they were before the war. Nothing whatsoever indicates that they're my vassals, they talk to me as if they hate me, I have no control over anything they do, I can't enter their borders, I had to ask them to be my vassals again and they told me to fuck off, I can't invade them because I apparently signed on some truce I didn't fucking sign.
You grow a brain, paradox cocksucker.

First off, learn how to read English, you fucking dumbass. And how to use punctuation and capitalization, for that matter. Alternatively, fuck off.
>>337148414
I negotiated no peace, I was simply about to take over their capital when a message popped up, they said "Don't think you're cool just because you beat us" and now they're in the exact same position they were before, they're not my vassals, I haven't gained shit from them.
If they were my vassals, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't just have told me to fuck off when I demanded for them to become my vassals. I don't think the option would be there, either.

Estonia, is that you?
>>337148627
>they said "Don't think you're cool just because you beat us"
Judging by how according to you they're not your vassals, either it is a bug, or you unknowingly negotiated a white peace.
This has been my experience with Victoria 2 - I occupied half of Korea and then sued for white peace, thinking occupied territories would become mine. Instead they reverted back to Korea.
Pay attention really carefully to what you're agreeing to when you're negotiating peace.
As for disappearing fleets, as far as I know, if they have no way to reach your territory normally, they become exiled and arrive after a while at your border without your intervention.
