I wish you could bind a sector to a control group so you could easily switch through all its planets. Selecting sector planets is one of the most annoying thing to do in this game, since the only way to do so is through the map or using one of your 10 control groups.

Press f5 to bring up sector management. Expand the sector. Click the planet icon to go straight to it. It remembers where you were in the list when you next press f5.

darthbob88 posted:Although as long as we're talking about the game of spreadsheets in space, I'd legitimately appreciate some way to look at all the planets in my empire directly. Like, the Planets and Sectors menus has a list of core planets and the other planets in sectors, so if I want the largest producer of minerals/energy/whatever, that would best benefit from a planetary edict, I need to open each sector and browse through each sector's list of planets, and it'd be nice if I can just get a single combined list of all those planets. Admittedly, this is going to be very different in a week, so this complaint might not be relevant. In 2.0, resource-boosting edicts are being turned into empire-wide instead of planet-specific edicts specifically because it was a pain in the rear end passing edicts around where they would do the most good. So yeah, this specific need should be mostly irrelevant come the patch.

Are there any "gotchas" to be aware of when fooling around with user_empire_designs.txt? The whitespace doesn't matter at all, right? I'm thinking about some tinkering.

OwlFancier posted:Yeah I really do enjoy the range of content and, I suppose, environmental hostility of Aurora, definitely something I would like more of in Stellaris and terrain effects/FTL changes are a nice step towards that. I already play with habitable worlds turned right down and the new claim mechanics are going to really help with that. Stuff that makes terraforming/world types more in depth would be neat (I like Alphamod's changes to them quite a lot, with worlds having unique biome resources and much more variety in what's habitable, plus having extreme colonization of gas giants and volcanic worlds and such) and Real Space is going to be awesome with having to cross systems to get to other jump points. We're of one mind. I don't really know how you'd do it in a game of this scale but I would definitely like a more involved and developed process of colonization and terraforming. Still, that hasn't been a priority to date and I'm confident in time the Paradox team will figure something out (assuming they agree it needs work of course) just as they have and are with other stuff!

Apocalypse is definitely going to get the Art of War treatment where the DLC content gets conflated with what the free patch provided.

Synthbuttrange posted:If I've just got the base game, which expansions should I consider? Nova and Galaxy Edition: Nova gets you a spider portrait and the music, as well as all the new music as it comes out. Galaxy gets that and a bunch of other non-game stuff I don't have so can't vouch for. I will vouch the hell out of that spider portrait though. Upgrade packs regularly goes on sale for about $4 and $12 respectively on Steam. Leviathans: Provides a lot of early and mid-game story and mechanical content. Every game you play after installing Leviathans will in some way be impacted by having Leviathans. Definitely one to get if you've been playing a while, skippable if you haven't played much and want to save it for a later boost to replayability (or get it on sale and disable it from the DLC section of the Launcher). Regularly goes on sale for 50% off. Plantoids: Purely cosmetic DLC. Cosmetic DLC is really good in this game though. You get a bunch of portraits for making races with and a whole new set of ship styles, and LordMune has said they'll get their own versions of the Apocalypse ships too. Regularly goes on sale for 50% off, worth it for the Venus Fly Trap portrait alone. Utopia: Provides new empire policies and civics and a huge amount of early, mid, and late game content and an entirely new kind of empire. Will have a huge impact on every game, even ones where you're not playing as Hive Minds. Frequently goes on sale for 50% off. Note: The above three are frequently eligible for the 3 for 2 deals on the Paradox website, including right now! They're also on sale! Get all three for $15! Buy Buy Buy! None of them are mandatory and you won't miss them if you don't have them, but they're what I personally consider "The base game" at this point. Synthetic Dawn: Like Utopia, it adds a new empire type (Robot Hive Minds) and some new story content, but most of the mechanical and story content is Robot Empire specific. There's a couple of very cool things that might show up in a regular empire or hive mind game, but for the most part if you're not playing a robot empire you're not really playing Synthetic Dawn. What you do get for your regular playthroughs are some robot portraits and a whole bunch of very cool new voicepacks to replace your Advisor with, themed around the different ethics. Definitely worth the money, but imo a sidegrade rather than an upgrade. Is currently on sale for 15% off, give Wiz your money, come on, do it. Humanoids: See Plantoids. It's got space orcs and space elves in it, and three additional VIR voices. Too new to be going on sale yet. Apocalypse: It's not out yet, what do you want from me. Seems to be mainly endgame content, with some mid-game non-guaranteed content like with Synthetic Dawn's. Buy from the Paradox store if possible, they go on sale more often there and buying from there means more money directly into Paradox's pocket. You get a Steam activation key with your purchase so it will work fine with a Steam or Humble Bundle bought base copy. Also, if you have a DLC, and you host a game, your friends can use it! And then want it! And then buy it! Splicer fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Feb 18, 2018 |

Grad school has been swamping me lately, but if I can get in a good amount of work Thursday/Friday then after work on Saturday I’m probably going to play literally all night, considering how addicting I currently find Stellaris.

What are some interesting civilization choices looking like for Apocalypse multiplayer? I haven’t played Stellaris since 1.5 Utopia. Apocalypse is drawing me in with the promise of planet-destroyers and defensible hyperlanes, and some friends are looking at doing a multiplayer game that I may join if I have the time. But I’ve never done multiplayer, and my usual play style is pause-heavy, which I obviously can’t do in MP, and very tall and turtle-y and reactionary – roleplaying as malevolent enigmatic elder races like Freespace 2 Shivans or Babylon 5 Shadows was my thing in single-player. Are there any MP-newbie-friendly Apocalypse-compatible strategies I should consider which would either fit with that sort of play style, or would be good for learning something else in a realtime environment?

I wish there was a freespace 2 mod that gave beam weapons a lot more oomf. I know that's unrealistic since stellaris involves gigantic fleets but we need more games like that.

This is bullshit. I conquer some annoying xenos, and want to empty one of their planets because it's in an inconvenient spot. But I can't relocate the pops off the planet I want to clear, because the planets I want to move them to had land appropriated, and you can't resettle pops to planets with the land appropriated flag set. So my empire has forced out inhabitants to use the land for its own ends, but isn't allowed to use that land for the ends I have in mind  Oh, it's because you can resettle citizens or slaves to planets with appropriated land, but only those two types - residents aren't allowed

Am playing some machine empire. Own about 1/3 of the galaxy, one other big rival and one I'm sort of neutrals with.. Then a fallen empire awakens, demands me to be a vassal and wipes the floor with my rival and subjugated us both. Then a ghost signal event happened and oh my god there are super robots in my systems help

Years ago he was just a mostly normal enthusiastic nerd who would play strategy games, but when a youtuber gets bigger they have to, by youtube law, put on some sort of insufferable voice/character. So he just sort of turned his poo poo up to 11 and now you have the quill voice.
