Had a weird game just now. I got a war in heaven crisis, and told them both to gently caress off so that I could lead the league against them, but then before the actual war kicked off the Unbidden rolled in on the other side of the galaxy. I thought you could only get one crisis? I started up the league and all the empires chose sides and everything but neither of the fallen empires ever declared war on me. I ended up killing off the unbidden first, then both empires, and when I declared war on them their vassals never joined the fight. Also, not sure if this is normal because I've never had a war in heaven before, but the league of non-aligned planets wasn't an actual federation. My allies just got a diplomacy bonus with me. After the war was over somebody asked to join and then suddenly it was a real federation, but just the two of us.

Found possible bug or exploit? If you start with syncretic evolution - machinist probably too but haven't tried - and get the old gods eventchain and choose to restructure society at the end of it, it gives you the divine mandate and police state civics, replacing whatever you had previously. INCLUDING the otherwise irreplaceable syncretic evolution civic. In fact I had three civics at the time and it removed all three and replaced it with just two. Also removed all my factions when it changed my state ethics.

Dongattack posted:Unrelated, anyone got a mod to recommend that makes defence stations good/useful? I've found that Ship Power Stations tweaked to remove or drastically reduce the minimum build radii works well. Bear in mind this also adds power plants to ships, not just stations, so everything ends up with more shields and power to spare for capacitors and the like. Fortresses end up with something like 2k fleet power, and a cluster of half a dozen of those won't stop a blob but it will mean that the attacker has to actually try.

I'm at 0/6 in my current game 80 years in. I also had a 45 year stretch of finding zero anomalies, and I have gotten 3 events saying someone found a precursor site on a world that didn't spawn an anomaly. It's kind of amazing at this point how these things have remained broken/somehow get worse each time the game is updated.

ThisIsNoZaku posted:I wish your ethics and civics would give you a handful of possible government types you choose from, having a single point of Militarist turning all my governments into military dictatorships is annoying. It also gets annoying when you realize that government type determines the ruler's cloths and hair after your 1st ruler. You can change titles at creation which will stick until you change your government enough, but not with cloths or hair. With the human and elf portraits it means everyone gets buzz cuts with a military government. The human rulers will also wear the green army uniform. Not very regal for a Star Empire, and I would rather have the navy blues/hair for other military governments. It can be modded but it's a lot of little lines to change for the human hair/clothes files. I am spoiled with the CKII ruler designer and variety. It's a neat little detail though. Government type (default, military, peaceful, spiritual, and materialist) all have their own ruler clothes/hair combos for portraits with enough options. Even humans have regal names that get more weight for Imperial governments. Also Imperial heirs keep the last name of the ruler and will keep track of the number of rulers with the same name.

Had a game the other day where I found all of the Cybrex artifacts, but researching the anomaly on the destroyed ringworld did nothing. Cybrex Alpha remained in my situation log, no unity, nothing. Also anyone else having performance issues now? Before the expansion I'd run at a solid 60 fps until late game, now just staring at the galaxy map after even a single colony I'm getting random drops to sub-10 frames per second. It bounces up and down constantly.

Pah. I was hoping that armageddon bombardment would effectively allow destroying a planet from orbit, but it's laughable ineffective for that. Can't even destroy a building after six months of bombardment, much less a pop.

had a goofy situation in a war to vassalize someone. kept trying to move my fleet to attack their homeworld but for some reason they weren't moving. finally realised it was because their homeworlds airspace was completely taken up by various civilian ships so i had to target those. once they were taken care of, my fleet started to fly away from the planet to attack something. when i looked at what they were attacking, every civilian ship that dude had was just piling into the system. i must have killed like 10 scientists and at 15ish constructors.

Welp, the Prethoryn invaded and it was not impressive. First the vanguard arrived and I noticed all the fleet names were like SCOURGE_NAME_VANGUARD or something to similar effect. I stomped one of the little vanguard fleets and then the second wave arrived immediately after. I beat up like four or five of the second wave fleets (about 38k apiece) with my one fleet, which dropped from ~35k to ~25k in the process as the corvettes and a handful of destroyers died. Cleaned one of the two planets they were trying to infest, while three of their infestors somehow wandered halfway across the galaxy and managed to die to a fortress of mine I had built on a whim. At this point there was a fleet of 80k+ bombarding one of my colonies and the one remaining infested planet was behind several of their fleets, so I figured I better bring in some more ships before taking them on. So while waiting for the huge conga line of reinforcements to trickle in I was going to blow some of their constructors and infestors (who were just standing in place doing fuckall), but before I could even do that I suddenly got an event box informing me that the scourge had been defeated, and all of their fleets just winked out of existence.  My total losses were 30 corvettes, 8 destroyers, a few mining/research stations and a single building that was destroyed in the bombardment. Like, I'm not even sure what happened, though I'm guessing that one of my neighbours managed to cleanse the other planet that was getting infested and that was it. Then later a materialist FE awakened because they wanted to save the galaxy from the Scourge. Too bad I can't tell them they were like two years late.

I had cordial relations with a xenophobic isolationist empire, and was guaranteeing their independence. They had their borders closed to me (and everyone else). They were attacked, which brought me in to the war on their side, but I was still unable to enter their territory to defend it, and they lost the war. That must be a bug, surely

I just wanted to keep them independent until I was in a position to collect them myself, before they were absorbed by and mixed with the ugly aliens next to them  On an unrelated note: if anyone uses the Reworked Planets mod, I've got it working in 1.5 (it was crashing the game on launch). I've posted the pastebin links to the changes needed in the comments section, but in case the author takes their time getting around to fixing it, extract the mod to your local mods folder and replace the contents of the following files:
Mister Bates posted:Flavor, basically. There's a roughly equal amount of every planet type in any given galaxy, from what I've seen. It will effect which planets you can colonize, obviously, but there are many ways around that restriction. That's what I like about Reworked Planets. It shifts habitability from the half-assed system Stellaris currently uses to a two-axis model (humidity and temperature). Terraforming costs are also adjusted so it's more expensive and more time-consuming the further you shift a planet on its habitability axes. It also makes your home planet choice slightly more meaningful. Continental (centre of the grid, mild on both axes) gives you immediate 60% habitability on the neighbouring four planet types, but only 20% on the "corner" types. "Edge" types (mild on one axis, extreme on the other) give you 60% on three neighbouring types, and a marginal 40% on two more. Starting from a "corner" world gives you innate 60% on only two immediate neighbours and 40% on three more beyond those, but it gives you 90% on your home type, meaning you don't need much research before you get 100% without any bonus structures.

From Jamor over on the Paradox forums.quote:Hey all. We tested achievements in 1.5.1, and just retested them now: they work on our end. Our *hope* was that the fix would apply retroactively to older saves, but that doesn't appear to be the case. We're not sure at this time if it's something on our side, or relating to the Steam backend. Achievement unlocking is tied to specific conditions in your save file that reloading in a new version doesn't recreate, sadly.

For reworked planets it's : SteamLibrary\SteamApps\workshop\content\281990\794246891 281990 = stellaris ID 794246891 = mod ID, can find this by googling the stellaris + workshop + mod name (the number will be in the webadress) It'll be a zip file.
