Yeah I always feel bad about it since slavery is immoral. Thus the only solution is to purge all the inferior xeno scum so that I'm not tempted into enslaving them.

Darth Windu posted:Just checked, it isn't I don't recall all the rules off hand any more but so long as you could enable slavery I thought it would give you the option. Just did a quick check of the wiki and the option should be there as "Reproduction Prohibited" for both Full and Regulated slavery types. Doesn't appear to be gated behind any ethos, either so long as you can enslave other POPs.

I tried slaves once and I didn't get the use. They produce less than a happy citizen or a robot, no thanks. That was the mid-level slavery though through xenophobe, which really seems like a worst of both world situations. All the slave penalties but without the mineral production bonus.

I prefer the term internship. I don't like slaves as currently implemented, but Utopia did hint at a pretty good way of handling them, so I may have to take another gander when that happens.

 Plz wiz I'll pay for a synthetic art pack. We seriously need more distinct art for robots/droids/synths and maybe a robot per general species type. Why all robuts gotta be humanoids??

I want to be a totally non-humanoid robbit like a Meklon or something The new moo classic has some really cool classic inspired art too with an art deco theme    It's a total fan project with a guy paying for pro art, he also seems to really get what makes a 4x good. https://remnantsoftheprecursors.com/ "Remember that time when an AI made a request or an offer to you, that you refused, and then they asked again? And again? And again? Diplomatic spamming does not occur in every game but, when it does, it’s extremely annoying. Some players solve this problem by turning off diplomacy entirely and waging all-out war How I addressed this: AI diplomats have a memory. If one asks to trade the Deflector Shields IV technology for Controlled Radiated Environment and you refuse, it permanently stores that and will never ask again. Your refusal may not have a negative diplomatic effect, but it force you to re-initiate that particular request if you change your mind. This applies to all diplomatic requests." Man Stellaris really needs something like this, maybe my event bar wouldn't be spammed non-stop with migration and defense pact requests.

I'd be satisfied with a hook in the portraits file that let you specify what file is used for robots for your species. A flag something like 'has trait_robotic', then all robots you build - and consequently, your upgraded species - can look how you specify. If you don't have something specified, it'd use the default robot. Off the top of my head, that's the easiest and fastest way to implement something like this.

Another vote for a robo-art pack. Especially if you get to pick your robo-design when you first build robots.

Robot art would be great. Blorg robots.  What's the point in turning your pops into robots if you don't go full killbots with them?

Or if there isn't the time or budget to do this, at least put in something so that mods can give you other portrait options. But I would also really like for there to be more robot variety now.

I'd also pay money for a fully featured mechanoids pack. But one of them has to be the space helmet parrots, only it's like an empty suit now with electric lights dancing over the helmet faceplate to form the visage of a parrot or something. e:  e2: I will also pay for kakapo avians.

Making a robot portrait for every single species portrait would probably kill the artists.

They don't need to do a mechanoid version of every single portrait in the game, but a couple portraits for each type of species would be nice.

At the very least, having different robot portraits for Mammalian/Reptilian/Anthropoid/Insectoid/Fungoid//Molluscoid/Plantoid would be cool.

Pretty sure you gotta be at full slavery and not wussy regulated to get the major bonus.Baronjutter posted:I tried slaves once and I didn't get the use.

All the slave penalties but without the mineral production bonus. And yes, decadent pops are fine and dandy if the only enslaved pop is themselves. They care not who is enslaved, just that someone is.

It would be neat to have some clearly non-humanoid portraits as well. I think having a variety of robots as opposed to one for x species group would be good. But yeah, making a one to one version would be too much work. Robots are not so prevalent that they need that much variety, but some world be good.

Yeah, chiming in as the whateverth person to say that we don't need a robot version of EVERY portrait. One per species group would be great, but it gets a little murky with regards to the Plantoid DLC and all. Hell, just make 5 or 6 different portraits and let us pick which one when we build our first robot or whatever.

Even just 4 or so shapes would work. So many races in the game are generally humanoid in shape, from mamalians to humanoids to reptilians and a bunch of others. A head, 2 arms, generally similar torso. Just need some weird bug-like robots or vaguely mollusk looking bots. They don't even have to be an obvious nod to any of the existing portraits, just some variety in style and body shape.

So I've been playing on 1000 star galaxies because my computer can handle it (for the most part), but it occurs to me that the game is probably balanced around the medium setting. Is that true, and is the game improved somehow when you play with a small galaxy vs a larger one?
