BravestOfTheLamps posted:Yeah, and someone discovers it for the first time every few months. Sometimes I check out the stellaris reddit and almost every couple pages has someone excitedly posting how they like totally found earth in their game but it's full of roaches, or primitive humans! I'm not mad, I wish I could recapture that joy of discovering all the cool stuff for the first time again

Nice! Just modifying human portraits alone is daunting stuff, working on a new alien species altogether must be draining as hell. That end product's worth it, though.

Most of the work was done by Mr. Unknown DeviantArt-artist, luckily. I just had to do the uncreative work of modifying the picture in paint.net until it didn't look like a painted cardboard shoved into Stellaris. That said, the original picture had tons of weird shadows and mist layered over it, which confused the hell of paint.net's selection tools. I had to manually move along the edges of all those feet/arms with a tiny eraser. Still not really difficult, you just need a calm hand and lots of time.

I guess that'll do, it's a little out of date, but oh well. For some reason when I was checking around all I could find were some plays in German for newer stuff.

canepazzo posted:https://twitter.com/Martin_Anward/status/831077240184020992 Now we just need to fill that empty 6th slot. I'm thinking "game preserve" for the managed hunting of the natives and a minor food bonus. And perhaps the opposite effect of indoctrination wherein they start to vehemently hate the ideals of the demon monsters who would hunt and eat them. Edit: Ohh, or even better, give more modern-era game preserves a chance to not only jump-start their interstellar development but let them start with some percentage of the offender's tech tree thanks to captured big game hunter gear.

Indoctrination sounds great, especially as someone whose xenophile-empires are always getting burdened by the strangest weirdos. Gently leading rear end in a top hat aliens to the path of awesomeness sounds a lot better than dealing with unwanted Fanatic Shitheads. In other news, my centipede-portrait is now used by 40+ people according to the Steam-Workshop. Nice! I also had my first bug report: "It's not working for me." Great my friend, but uh could you tell me a little bit more details?

PoptartsNinja posted:Now we just need to fill that empty 6th slot. I don't think you get a lot of food from big game hunting but you should definitely get to farm Influence by catching impressive trophies. Or give your leaders great hunt events like in CK2. You can kill natives with high tech weaponry (less risk, less influence) or low tech jungle poo poo (higher risk of failure or death, more influence gained).

6th option should be "create crop circles", because that's what aliens supposedly enjoy

A question for modders: I have this weird issue where 2 guys out of 40+ can't see the portraits from my portrait-mod, any idea what could cause the portraits simply not to show up? The guys in question already tried shutting down all other mods, even though a simple portrait+namelist mod shouldn't cause trouble. It still didn't work. Since I don't have this problem, it's kind of hard to find out what went wrong here.

There isn't even a conflict with other mods, since they tried it with every other mod off and still can't see them. At this point my knowledge pool is basically depleted and I have no idea how to solve this.

Can someone give me the n00b breakdown on Diplomacy? I'm not sure I get it. Or maybe I do and it's just not what I expected. Does it basically just come down to identifying contenders for future alliances and starting with promising to defend them? I feel in many situations that I would not be able to fulfill such a promise.
