Presumably you could do a hyperlanes only map and just spawn shitloads of empty stars that aren't connected to anything to make the galactic map look more lively but still not murder performance or gameplay.

It isn't, the three Ascension lines all have tech prereqs (though only the Spiritualist one is rare, the Biological one can be easy to miss due to the tree setup), as does World Shaper.

I don't think any Megastructure is good enough to requires a one-of limit as long as there's no minerals-producing megastructure.

The robotic ascension path is crazy powerful, but the final ascension perk was a bit underwhelming. I had some really good slave-races including one with the 'proles' bonus to food/mineral production and stacking that with the slave processing/iron fist/share the burden/chattel bonuses was really powerful. I had an uplifted thrall slave race with an extra +20% damage trait; adding strong, thrall, and cybernetic army damage bonuses they were amazing clone troopers. All gone. All replaced with lovely robot armies that also lose their attachments, experience, and military academy modifier And I quite liked having my robots as slaves as well. Having no dissenting factions was quite nice for the influence and overall happiness.

This is a good mod that is a static map of 50 stars in our general area somewhat accurately placed. Proabably close to what you were looking for. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=715772239 If you don't want a static 50 star map this one seeds the map generator so it at least is real-ish. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=937289339 Lum_ fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Sep 7, 2017 |

Maybe if mega structures had way more steps and smaller cost per step. Like 10 steps for dyson spheres with the first 2 only costing 1000 each, then progressively more expensive. That way the player can feel like its a much longer term project rather than something you set and forget about for 30 years.

I think the point is that by making them one only, they can be really good. Like 1000 power is pretty drat good, as is 750 science. And consider that if you have leviathans, 1000 power is actually 500 minerals, you kind of do have a mineral producing one... To say nothing of selling it to other empires.

God drat it, I was really close to a Federation Victory while chipping away at the last non-awakened empire who wasn't a Fed. (The AE conquered a couple of its neighbors before settling down and now occupies like a third of the galaxy.) Then I clicked the AE's diplomacy on a whim and... they'll join the federation? gently caress yes let's finish this game!  ...why the gently caress are its planets not being counted under the victory counter?? And now they won't let me declare any more "liberation wars" against the other guy! Ugh. If I kick them from the Federation are they going to go apeshit? I'm so close to victory!

I think I saw a modder-created tool that had a GUI for, at least, laying out planets in a solar system. Wouldn't surprise me if there is something similar for galaxy layouts. Doing it manually is time-consuming but not difficult.

But it still gives you the manipluation tech Anyway, I should have been clearer when I said "perks", apologies

The problem with creating your own maps with the GUI editor is that the actual texture of the galaxy is basically static, and fills out in game in areas where stars are spawned. It's a bitch to align if you're going for a shape that isn't the default spiral. As for where to get it, there's a thread about it on the Paradox forums somewhere. Last I had checked the editor hadn't been updated and needed some tinkering to get working correctly.

I haven't played Stellaris since maybe patch 1.5 or so... have they resolved the following scenario? I remember playing as some sort of benevolent federation-like empire and was waging war against fanatical genociders. My peacekeepers successfully invaded some planets with ongoing mass murder of either my own or an allied species. Yet, since the war wasn't over and I was simply occupying the planet, the genocide appeared to be continuing, since we weren't changing any species/population policies! Which poses a real issue. Were my soldiers like "we'd love to save you from the genocide but what matters now is the rule of law. You all need to wait for the conclusion of negotiations in 1-3 years"? Or worse, were my soldiers carrying out the genocide since they were running the planet?

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:Is this something I should expect, or is this a game bug? It's almost certainly a game bug. People have run into all kinds of issues doing anything diplomacy-related with AEs, it's an utter mess. There's a ton of special-case behaviors surrounding AEs and diplomatic interactions, and since AEs are fairly unlikely to engage in normal diplomacy, some aspects of the game like to assume that any AE diplomacy automatically falls into the related special-case.

Are we talking Matrix style harvesting chemical energy from regular humans (cause that's dumb), or Babylon 5 style exploiting another species telepaths cause they don't have any (cause that's awesome)? Would be cool as a way for non-organics to access the shroud.
