The little green and orange eagle thing on the empire selection screen determines whether its attached empire might, will, or will not spawn in new galaxies. By default I think all of them are set to allow spawning, but aren't forced. I've actually really enjoyed my games consisting only of empires that I've made knowing what their personalities in game will wind up being like.

What's the point of having all these trait points if I don't have enough picks to use them?

Baronjutter posted:The whole trait/engineering system needs the same level of do-over as movement and war is getting in 2.0 Oh? What would you like to see changed? I think the trait system's probably the best functioning part of Stellaris at the minute. I do wish there were more traits, negative ones in particular. All too often I find myself gravitating towards the same three vices because there just aren't any that seem thematically appropriate.

I'd love for there to be about 2-3x more traits. All the modded ones are dumb or broken that I've found, but it always feels like there just aren't enough in the base game for some reason.

If you get the robomodding ascenion perk it's super easy to have a bunch of points that you can't actually use on all of your models because you're maxed on picks.

imweasel09 posted:If you get the robomodding ascenion perk it's super easy to have a bunch of points that you can't actually use on all of your models because you're maxed on picks. That'e exactly what happened with me. I ended up getting an expanded trait mod so I had more slots. To be honest the whole robomodding thing seems poorly implemented. Your ideal approach seems to be to quickly specialize your drones for the three resources, and then maintain those chains as you get more traits. It ends up being a pain, and in the end you can't take full advantage of the trait system since you don't have enough slots. I would prefer to see something a bit less clunky. Ultimately it's all a flat bonus anyway, so maybe change it from robomodding to specific technologies that give the same traits.

How do I actually get those populations to spawn? you need to actually genemod them now from the species menu. click on the template and then click apply template and then select your pops, it will then make a special project. it uses society research so if you have a shitload of pops it will take a while to finish.

At the risk of being extremely rude, I am going to bet on this thread having at least some people interested in sci-fi government sims and plug the one I am currently running in The Game Room subforum. It takes place on a small ex-colony in the far reaches of colonized space, after a revolution has overthrown the kleptocratic autocracy that was in charge for about thirty years. There are elections, plenty of government roles, heated debates over policy and factional tensions under the surface. We are currently accepting candidates for the upcoming municipal elections and could use some more players willing to run independently or with a minor party.

It would be nice if species traits were more distinctive. "This race gets +10% to minerals" and "this race gets -10% habitability but +10% army damage" are kinda small bonuses and don't really make different biological species feel different in play. You could get more interesting stories with traits like "silicon-based" (eats minerals instead of food), "gigantic" (double resource output and consumption), or "sociopathic" (inherit physical traits from host bodies but keep their own mental traits, or whatever). Especially when you start intermingling and mixing populations.

With Apocalypse on the way, my #1 want for Stellaris is now like more distinctive advantages and disconnecting civics from things that are basically unique modifiers (for example, the new Gaia Planet/Tomb World beginning states). And more events, etc.

Yeah genetic traits should be way more impactful and come with bonuses and penalties rolled into one. For example growth bonuses should be coupled with leader age penalties and vice versa. Strong should increase food consumption and so on. Make races more unique and interesting and don't give a poo poo about supposed balanced and optimal builds. Min maxing is for boring nerds.

Pretty much. If they do make traits more unique and interesting I'd be fine with a 2 positive 1 negative pick limit.

This marauder thing seems odd if it's not a replacement for space pirates. Space pirates, as a class of space monster essentially, did have a nominal "leader" as a system boss fight (the galleon) but there was no organization beyond that.
