A technology cost multiplier slider would be nice, to slow games down a bit. I always end up hitting really high tech really fast.

Mister Adequate posted:Right? I'm loving ready. I also suggested to Wiz on twitter that they add a checkbox to enable all crises in one game, probably not worth their trouble but would be nice to not need a mod. I suggested same thing, I do use a mod for it but would like to not have to.

I wonder if it's possible to make a mod that triggers every crisis if one of them goes off. Preferably with a setting for simultaneously or staggered.

Thought I'd start up a new observer game after getting Utopia, but observer mode is all hosed up now. Is there any way to turn off the weird auto-camera?

Modding all their trigger events to trigger the others' trigger events would work so long as you checked for "crisis in progress" flags so you don't get infinite crisis triggering recursion. Setting is doable with a menu at the start of the game that asks what you prefer and a check later that either sets a time to fire or immediately fires other crises as appropriate.

Cease to Hope posted:extremely adaptable is kind of OP right now, and sedentary and repugnant are more or less free trait points. the other negative traits actually hurt. your traits only really matter for the early game unless you're not conquering your neighbors, though. Sure with a few variations we generally know what the most optimal choices and combos are, but I think Doctor Reynolds was more asking what cool stories we have created with our custom Empires. I'm interested myself. Has anybody tried a unique combination of traits and civics or role-played in a different way that you weren't sure would work well at first but became a really fun way to play?

JuniperCake posted:I think you can get both of those factions can't you? No. I shifted from pacifist to spiritualist xenophobe in one of my previous games and the isolationist faction turned into supremacy faction. Isolationist faction is the xenophobe one, but can apparently only be a thing if you're also pacifist, it'll just vanish if you shift away from pacifist. Prosperity is the pacifist one and that'll stay. e: Ooops, I think I misunderstood. Yeah, you can get the isolationist faction and the prosperity faction, since one is xenophobes and and the other is pacifists. genericnick posted:One silly thing I just thought of: In Multiplayer you can trade planets.

I've just done Enigmatic Fortress and I have a question about the rewards; I've only gotten the Decoder, but the tool tip text said I would get all the other technologies as well? What gives? Has it bugged out, or will they pop later?

You can savescum if you want, and it should be possible to add the tech to your stuff with the console too. If you're psionic you can get an identical shield tech out of the Shroud though!

I get what they're going for with thr Fortress rewards, but given how many there are maybe they should consider making it two randoms from the list instead of just one. And also make the Automated Dreadnought less garbage thanks.

Eh, I kind of think the dreadnought is in a good place. I mean, it's garbage if you're rolling up on it with a 100k fleet but if you take it on with a 25k fleet (which is doable) then it's a solid addition to your armada. By the late game I just park it at my homeworld in the museum fleet along with whatever ancient shipyard and gas giant recovery ships I've still got kicking around, but it's got a really solid role up until you start facing off against 100k death balls.

Hey, nice. They just put out a patch for the 1.7 beta branch that fixes some of the major bugs. I had honestly put the game on hold because of a number of these. Guess it is time to Stellaris this weekend. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/bradbury-beta-updated-with-gameplay-fixes-1-7-2-checksum-a220.1026699/ quote:- Fixed starvation having no effect on happiness and growth

By the time I'm grabbing jump drives I'm far enough along that i can peel it out of my 100k doom stack with 15 battleships and just park it in the museum fleet along with all the other old, free poo poo. The bigger issue in my mind is how obviously superior to everything jump drives are. I grab them every single game and I think that's a big part of why I never see anything but the unbidden.

Ships you get from events need to be made upgrade-able somehow, maybe by adding them to the designer.

Jamor@Paradox posted:The answer is: "probably?". Basically any time we change the game code it does introduce the possibility of weirdness with older saves. Give the patch a try if you like, or you can hold off on opting in until you've finished a current game. We wanted to give people the option for both.

Ethics attraction actually does something now? Wonder how much of a something it will be. At the very least it'll give spiritualists a small influence boost, I guess. I also very much appreciate that the official patch notes have this sentence: "Fixed terraforming of inhabited planets causing tile resources to be reshuffled, because Betharian is pretty rad, but shouldn't be able to teleport"

Got ~140 hours of gameplay and haven't met swarm yet, someone help. It is probably partially because I research jump drives as fast as I can, but they are too good not to... and when I spent one game just waiting around without researching jump drives and with stagnant empires turned off, still nothing.

Trying a multiplayer game with 1.7.2, with a friend who has flaky internet. Where before they would just occasionally lag, now they are just outright dropped. I am not sure it is better, at least in this instance.

Xarn posted:Got ~140 hours of gameplay and haven't met swarm yet, someone help. Yeah, the game is kind of annoying with the way the Swarm is just an "if neither of the others happens". Maybe if the Unbidden were changed to be tied to someone loving around in the Shroud a lot? Or maybe just having a researchable tech that improves the chances of the Swarm happening somehow in exchange for something? Not sure what that could be though since they're extragalactic. I dunno, fortunately I'm not a game designer

Forewarning, long rear end rambling post. Anyone have any tips for sticking with a game? I have a few things that hold me back from actually getting to end game. I think I have like a few hundred hours and have never gotten to an end game crisis. I always get bored first. Basically: -I can't not micro or min/max. I don't do it to the 9th degree but I abhor sectors and constantly have to play building games on planets. I'd rather not have a sector if it's planet's are going to count against me for unity and research but I can't trust it to compensate. I'll sacrifice for roleplay, but even still. -I like to roleplay. I like to keep my fleets, planets, etc named and pick some certain suboptimal choices if it fits the people I'm playing. This gets to be a bitch late game when you just don't care because you're approaching stomp mode and most events don't affect you or you've seen them. I fall into the Paradox pit of not reading any flavor and just clicking buttons. -End game feels sloggy and bad. Fleets feel totally temporary and ephemeral. Essentially just a physical manifestation of your minerals per month. -It feels binary. I've won EUIV and HOI battles/wars I shouldn't have, and I feel like I have strategy and control. Paradox always has doom blobs but a shitload of flavor and nuance gets folded into Fleet Power and it sure seems like 25k always beats 20k. Also, as with any Paradox game at launch or near it, you cannot go tall. -Altogether, combat is more opaque than HOI4's naval combat, I swear. I haven't read the wiki or guides and I would like not to because part of my fun is figuring it out, but drat. I don't know how to figure out if certain classes are effective or not. Moreso are the effective for the cost? Are the fighters and bombers helping? Etc etc. I think my next tactic will be to play a smaller galaxy. I've always played larger because I'm hoping that mid game will feel more akin to other Paradox grand strategies (it never quite does). At the same time I'm worried I'll be too powerful, too fast. Other than that, I'm at a loss. I might disable some of my mods that add extra ship classes and stuff. I absolutely love the addition flavor and options but that might just be adding complexity that's unnecessary. I want to like the game more but gently caress if mid to mid-late doesn't bore the poo poo out of me.
