Possible thermal failure (CPU on fire?)

It is now possible to create armies of cyberneticaly enhanced arachnids on Arachnotopia. A few are commissioned into service.


Long-delayed research on spacefaring organisms finally get completed.


The gas creatures are moved to their new home.

Remains of old robots are found on Crienttor Prime.


Research on better armor, based on debris picked up from the Buzzards, begins.


Dr. Dietrich passes away. A funeral for the inventor of the warp drive is held in Stuttgart, his hometown.


Replacing him on the UNS Gagarin is Dr. Jianfeng He.


Dr. Batista continues to research further military technology.


In a disturbing turn of events, the Blessed Parid Alliance breaks the non-aggression pact.


As a result, we decide to enter a defensive pact with the Trinikan Partnership. They then propose a migration treaty as well. We accept.


Another strange world is found. Research on it is deferred for a while.


Dr. Zheng starts work on applications on terraforming. Dr. Zhivenkov, after her project on gas, begins to work on more weaponry for the Navy.


In a strange turn of events, the Trinkans enter into a non-aggressive pact with the Blessed Parid Alliance. It seems as if peace will persist for now.


Dr. Dietrich's notes have been uncovered, some pages covered in paranoid ramblings about a mysterious creature. Although some in the scientific community dismiss it as the senile rantings of an old man, eventually a project is put in place to see if there is any truth to these ramblings.

The General Assembly meets to discuss a few topics.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
It's time to vote on two topics:
First, what Prosperity Tradition should we pursue:


  • Standard Construction Templates, which reduce ship and building costs by 15%
  • Trans-Stellar Corporations, which unlocks the Private Colony Ship


Also, Dr. Batista, our head of Engineering Research, wants to know if he should pursue researching cruisers or robots.

Robots are a sub-optimal use of resources which could be spent on spider armies.

Spidarmies.

Anyway, Construction Templates and Cruisers.

Cruisers and Transtellar Corporations you idiots because with it we can make an expansion boom with energy, it's way easier to get then minerals, let's get STCs when we have an actual enemy to fight

Persuaded by bagual, whose words hold promise of an energy-boom fueled expansion of the human race, I have instructed my delegate to the assembly to vote for Trans-Stellar Corporations instead. We would do well to heed his wisdom, however caustically expressed, for is it not written, "From the mouths of babes..."

Well... with the new update, I should ask do we want to continue using a backdated version of the game or start anew?

I think it would be a bit of a shame to abandon the game halfway through. Keep going.

Halfway through? We haven't even unlocked Cruisers yet! And I'm certain we're still merely on our second Tradition.

Then again it would mean giving up the amazingly fitting Kitsu, and the Birdmen.

Then again again, you have a whole set of mods installed. Will those work with the new patch yet?

Nonetheless, I'm voting to change it up!

I'd wait until 1.8.1 comes out; there are a few bugs, mostly with machine empires, but if the thread decides to do a machine empire they will be relevant.

Looks like the save works... for now. If there's a show stopping glitch, I can always have one of our characters accidentally find himself in another universe, maybe as a different species.

Yes! So glad there's a Stellaris LP!

I just started playing a couple weeks ago and am hooked. I was playing vanilla but will give the DLC a shot.


My traditions have different stats than yours...I'm guessing that's due to the DLCs you have installed?
