Hot Dog Day #82 posted:Also it is interesting that you bring up "decadent xenophiles" -- I never thought of being a useable combination! I guess a real-life analog to that would be a multicultural slave owning Roman Republic/Empire? It is an interesting thought for a playthrough... You'll only see Decadent Xenophiles who are also Collectivists in-game for now, though, to avoid players hosing themselves by being unable to enslave someone in their Empire to avoid the Decadent penalty. Here's where I got all that from: http://www.stellariswiki.com/Diplomacy#Permanent_modifiers

  Made custom-robo versions of my species. If there's an easy way in Banks to set your robot pop, that would be nice! If not there's ways around it, but it'd be niiice.

See, now THAT is some good poo poo. Seconding the calls for Paradox to contract some robo-portraits out to you.

Holy gently caress, Paradox needs to hire you out to do a robo pack. Even if it was "just" 10 portraits or so I'd buy that. I mean they did it with that extremely mediocre Skylines modeler. Or paradox just needs to put the hooks in for robo and cyber portraits per-species or per-species-type or what ever. Or both.

Hot Dog Day #82 posted:So do other species always think that collectivists are space dicks (like they do for xenophobes), or is it only races who prefer democracies that have beef with them? I've been making my species have the charismatic trait to smooth out some rough edges, but I was trying to build a race of spiritual/collectivist/pacifists the other night and it felt like it was getting a lot of sass from my neighbors. Only individualists give a poo poo about you being collectivist, but since collectivist opens up a bunch of policies you will want to set them in such a way so as to look better to your neighbours.

I mean, I'll be creating robo-portraits ANYWAY (I say 'creating', but all I'm doing is strategically repositioning cool vanilla assets or stuff I find on google images), so there's no need to hire me, but putting per-species/per-species-type hooks would be ideal. This is the picture (combined with vanilla assets) I used to make that guy, by the way.  You can see how you can kinda frankenstein the pieces together to make something that looks good enough, eh?

Mister Adequate posted:I hosed up that Xindi probe with the help of my excellent bro Shran, then we made the Federation, then I restarted as the Cardassians because I got annoyed with not actually getting everyone's homeworlds and stuff. Yeah the Federation mechanic is interesting but the home worlds and border projection are a bit hosed. I get they want the members to have their own fleets, but in reality when you see starlet fighting the borg, it's just Federation ships. My favourite Federation mechanic isn't the merging, and it isn't even how you can absorb other empires. It's the fact that every so many years you can pick a war in the galaxy and condemn both sides of the conflict, insulting them both but gaining like 200 influence. So basically you end up just pointlessly annoying people by sending angry worded letters from your moral soapbox for purely internal political reasons. The perfect UN simulator. (You can also just condemn one side which delivers and insult to them and bonus opinion to the other side).

Admiral Ray posted:That looks great! One question: Is that robot breathing? Yyyeah... Using pre-existing models and animations and retexturing them had advantages and disadvantages. It's way, WAY easier than trying to make your own, but it also means you have breathing, blinking robots, haha. I choose to interpret it as being a cooling system

I wonder if there will be a new hive mind fallen empire. But then I'd also be interested in seeing militarist, pacifist, authoritarian, and egalitarian FEs. In a way, the xenophile/xenophobe FEs encroach on all those other possibilities just a little. But there are other possible interpretations.

EUIV has a music player too. Also hoping for multiple types of terraforming candidates; at least one should involve an enormous Space Curtain that causes an atmosphere to freeze...

You know that I'd love? A "humanoid" ship style that draws on old school scifi from Buck Rogers to Star Trek ToS. I'd even pay plantoid DLC money for that if it included some new humanoid portraits.

Some notes from Wiz. Delay for new droid portraits and you still have to build new synths.Wiz @ Paradox posted:We're really busy finalizing Utopia right now, but I'll quickly answer some of the most frequently asked questions. Further answers will have to wait, sorry!

Droids being "something we plan on doing in the future" totally means that there will be a robot DLC a la Plantoids sometime in the near future.

I'm not averse to having to build more synth pops, but I wish they'd grow in parallel or something instead of needing the better part of a century to fill up a planet.

Realistically by the time you replace your fleshy bodies most of your pops will exist and new colonies will be in sectors allowing your sectors to handle the robot building bit.

I just so don't trust sectors to build pops as fast as possible. With resources available there should really be an auto build option where your planets all build pops as fast as they can if there are and free tiles.

Yeah the key weakness there is "trust sectors." Don't get me wrong, sector AI has improved immensely from the dumpster fire it used to be, but it's still got a long way to go.
