I sure do love that bug whereby sometimes one of your fleets just decide they can't be arsed to shoot an enemy fleet which is happily shooting it.

Speaking of wormholes. Do NOT fortify a system on the other end of a wormhole from your empire. Turns out that ships can happily enter the system and pass through to the rest of your empire through the wormhole, FTL inhibitors be damned. I guess it kinda makes sense, but I was not expecting it.

So for those looking for the DLC on sale, this site seems to have Utopia and Leviathans 50% off, among other things like Apocalypse 12% off. I've never used this site before, but everything I've read about it makes it seem legit. Gonna pick these up from here. Edit: Just got Leviathans and Utopia for $17.14 total with the code SPRING10 GoGoGadget fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Mar 18, 2018 |

I didn't know that, but on the other hand, I also fortify both ends of a wormhole, so I'm pretty sure I'm safe, anyhow. As far as making my own ships, the one time I've tried doing that post-expansion, the fleet system just shat itself and I had several obsoleted ships that simply refused to upgrade no matter what.

I mean, I don't think that really does make sense if I'm honest, FTL inhibitors should prevent people from leaving the system, that it doesn't take into account wormholes seems more like a bug than anything. E: Or do you mean, they can still use the wormhole? Cos that makes sense, I thought you meant things could come through a wormhole and then leave the system even if it has an inhibitor in it?

If I change the layout of a ship (eg, add different "types" of parts or different "sections" to the bigger ships), does that somehow gently caress it up?

It is now post-2400 and I have never changed the name or used a different Corvette design; I have simply changed the design over time to account for new tactics or new tech. I have had zero problems with the fleet manager. This is pretty much what I do. I turn off auto generate designs and keep names consistent and I’ve never experienced any problems whatsoever over like four or five play throughs

With the fleet manager doing your own design stuff is a lot less annoying than before. It also sidesteps some bugs. If you're wanting to auto-do your designs, just reset the ship sections and auto-complete them (this is necessary because the auto-complete won't switch certain weapon options). I'll usually have point defense and non-point defense options, because point defense isn't really useful if your enemy isn't using missiles, but if they are it is really useful.

I am sad that there is no other way to unlock Armageddon bombardment stance outside of being fanatic purifiers. For some reason I love the concept of an angry species that Terraforms through violence. I dont like taking Fanatic Purifier because I like simple diplomacy like trading with the Artisan Troupe or the other station-bound non-player entities.

So I had this science crew early in game out scanning planets. It disappears and reappears with some of the crew missing. Later the rest of the crew reappears on a new ship that's similar to other science ships I have but called something like "science ship from the beyond". Later when I discover the Horizon signal I coincidentally send this science ship to investigate and it disappears. A few years later it reappears but without the crew and called something else this time. This has to be the galaxies unluckiest science ship.

Let me hire Admirals from the Raider Clans who unlock Armageddon bombardment as a bonus feature. I'm sure they'd be happy to command dirty xenos to bomb other dirty xenos.

I've somehow been able to keep my original ruler alive for ~140 years, despite picking neither enduring nor venerable.  He's had a foot in the grave several times, but every time technology, traditions or pure luck has pulled him back out. Now he's nearing his 175 and I thought that would be it, when everyone's favorite rental space sloth pulled through (looking real cute, researching a tiny image of himself).  Looks like he'll be done just in time for the Overseer's birthday, and with another 20 years he might just live long enough for synthetic evolution.

Ships only upgrade if you change the design they're named after and save the new design with the same name. Or, heck, theoretically if you created a whole new design of the same size and named it the same thing, you could probably upgrade the old ships to fit the new designs. Point is, it's the names that determine upgrade paths. How exactly the design changes doesn't matter - you could swap in an obsolete weapon in a single slot, or switch sections entirely and go from kinetics and missiles to all-lasers, it all counts as an upgrade if you save the design with the same name. It's actually one of my minor complaints about the ship design system - you don't get a "history" of ship classes, what you get is one or two, maybe three classes per ship type which lasts you for the entirety of the game, despite the fact that your end-game Jotunheim-class corvette could take on like a dozen of its identically-named early game predecessors and uses a completely different weapons balance.

You can swap ship designs in the fleet manager. When you're in the fleet manager, there is an option to swap an existing ship design with another. So switching to a different type of that class of ship (laser corvette -> rail corvette) is actually just a couple clicks. If you wanted to keep an existing series of old ships you could with no real problem.

So I was bordered by these marauders since the start of the game. Eventually the Great Khan spawned and I quickly submitted to him because how the gently caress am I supposed to fight back against 41k fleets at this point in the game. A decade or two pass and he dies and the Khanate falls apart. It says I'm free but somehow I'm a vassal to one of the successor states? What the gently caress?

Marauders are pretty buggy still, I'll kill a raiding fleet and not get the "raid beaten" event and they'll be stuck for the rest of the game doing nothing with the only option being to ask them who raided me, and frequently I'll pay for an attack from one clan and the fleet will actually spawn in another clans space. Also the AI does not seem to get the special event when a raid is used against them so they suffer a round of bombardment instead of getting any pops killed.

So how do I declare independence from my AI overlords? All diplomacy lets me do is request independence which of course they always deny so I don't even know why that's an option. I'm more powerful than they are, there is no reason I shouldn't be able to rebel against them and then stomp them into the loving ground.

I think you can request and then get a rebellion casus belli maybe? Request may not be necessary, you might always have the CB.

Nuclearmonkee posted:Is the AI food implosion thing fixed in any beta patch or mod I could download. Clicking around and I noticed about 1/3 of the dudes in the galaxy are forevereally starving and loving it. I was using glavius' AI patch in my most recent game and after trading sensors with a few people I noticed most planets sitting at like +12 or +20 food. Whole lotta size 12 planets with like 8 farms. I also noticed most AI I tried to trade with didn't want minerals or energy, their liking of the trade deal didn't go up no matter how many resources I threw at them which is generally a sign they're full-up. If nearly ever AI I tried to trade with wanted neither energy or minerals (and never food what with the +10 food minimum per planet) it made it impossible to trade. I don't know why the AI is sitting on so many resources. And even with all of the above I'm still seeing a lot of empty tiles on planets. They don't want for food, energy, or minerals yet aren't building buildings. I turned off glavius' mod and it didn't really make much of a difference. He's a very nice guy with a passion for improving the AI but I've had a lot of trouble with his mod. He'd fix every bug I found right away and was interested in every report, but it seemed every day I'd find some huge problem that generally made using his mod give worse results than vanilla. My most recent game had the marauders actually raid successfully, a great khan emerge and conquer properly, empires surrendering properly, and the khan getting assassinated and his empire fracturing properly. When the game works as designed it can be pretty nice. But that's the big problem with stellaris, it's 33% "this isn't working close to as designed due to bugs", 33% "this is worked as designed but the design is bad", 33% "this is a good design but the numbers and balance needs work" and sometimes it's hard to tell which category something not fun in the game belongs in.
