Is there a bug with Sectors & Energy? just loaded up a game on the beta and all of my sectors are reporting that they're producing 0 energy, and have large deficits coming out of their stock

Let it run a tick and it should normalize, I've noticed the same with fleet cap. E: ^^^ Eh, I don't bother with Size 12 planets until I'm backfilling my space, personally.

I don't really give a toss about monthly mineral income when I'm sitting on max energy.

I have trouble figuring out how many offensive armies to make for a war. In CK II it was simple because I generally had feedback on how many soldiers both I and my enemy had at any given moment so I could just hit the button to raise the levies and my personal fighters, blob up and off I'd go. In this game I never know how many armies will be enough before I find out the hard way.

I would aim for 50% more army power than the defenders for a secure take. Double the army power if you want to minimize losses. It would be great if planets showed their defenders army strength on the system view while you have a military unit selected, so you don't have to go into each individual planet view and army tab just to see the numbers though. That would also help visualize orbital bombardment better, and clearly tell you when you're starting to hit fortresses (because the defenders numbers will stop to go down).

If there's a thing I'm getting seriously tired of, it's the game not accepting my upgrades because of the name 'already being in use'. Yes, I'm updating the Design of that exact ship, you moronic game. LET ME loving SAVE THE DESIGN. Even when you randomise it still doesn't let you save. And you can't delete the last design of a type. I turn off auto-create-design, as I should.

So I was testing out a Barbaric Despoiler or whatever they're called and it turns out you can abduct hive mind pops who then live on your planets as happy as larry.

I just came back to this game after a long break since just after launch. I'm playing as a xenophobic militarist and I just had a new Archon elected. Turns out he's a xeno from a civ halfway round the galaxy for some reason and now all my pops are unhappy. I have no xeno pops in my empire and closed borders with everyone. How did he get in charge and is there some way I can get rid of him?

Gat dang why can't I just take fallen empire ships out of a fleet manager if they aren't there Like I get not being able to add them but why can't I say "hey don't bother with it" after they get destroyed without transferring all but one corvette out of the fleet and fully disbanding it

The usual way this sort of thing happens is that they're a leader of a faction and then get elected from there, but that raises the question of WTF your xenophobic civ is doing giving xenos full citizenship and letting them become leaders. Possibly they came from a shielded world or something?

Can my civ give xenos citizenship/eligibility on its own now? I seem to remember that being an option you could set yourself before. I don't even know what a shielded world is, but my only inhabited planets are my starting planet and three more previously uninhabited planets that I colonised myself.

And you can't delete the last design of a type. The main reason I recall this happening is if one of your fleets with that design is currently going through upgrades - upgrades become locked until they're done. This applies even if they're not actually upgrading right now, just heading to a station after being ordered to upgrade. I'm not sure if that's exactly your issue, though, I seem to recall their warning was pretty explicit about the cause of the error being upgrading ships.

Citizenship is set on a species-by-species basis, under the imaginatively-labeled Species menu. That's where you can declare that certain species of xeno shall live in service to the Emperor, while others shall be purged with fire and sword and barbecue sauce. As far as I'm aware, xenos in Xenophobic empires can't have citizenship or become leaders, so the only real option would be some kind of event, like opening a shielded world left behind by a fallen/awakened empire.

So I picked this up a while ago when it was on sale (I actually forgot I did) and I'm currently downloading it to give it a go. Civ 5 is the only experience I really have with 4x games and this is a whole new beast. What are some good beginner tips? Any recommended civics/government things to make things a bit easier for a first-timer? Thanks!

Those two mean almost everyone will like you, and it will be relatively easy to keep your population happy by just subscribing to the "don't be a dick" philosophy. Materialist is another good pick because it lets you set a standard of living that boosts research speed.

Get mining guilds for one of your starting civics, minerals are super important early game. I'd recommend making your species industrious too.

Thanks for the help. I'm pretty sure it was a bug - I loaded my game back up to check out the species menu (fwiw everyone had rights set to undesirables except my own race and robots) but my xeno Archon was gone and I had no Archon until the game gave me a normal one instead. I still had unhappiness about the xeno Archon at first but that disappeared when I got my new Archon. I definitely didn't trigger any shielded worlds or anything.

Shadowlyger posted:Species rights currently seem to be bugged; setting one species' rights will often set the same for all species. I'm not sure if it was a bug or not, but I had my egalitarian mercantilists purge an off-shoot of their own race (what? they gene modded themselves some useless perks) by setting them to undesirables, so they starved out and disappeared from the species list. Thereafter, any new species brought into my empire by taking planets would start at undesirable and I'd have to scramble to up them to residency status. It was a little annoying. I dunno if they were inheriting the citizenship status set for the species that disappeared or what.

How do I queue up research? So I don't have to pop into research menus all the time, especially early game, selecting various techs? Similarly, is there a way to automate construction ships so that they operate kind of like civ4's automated workers? Building mining/research stations everywhere in my domain, etc.?

As the available options beyond partially salvaged tech is re-rolled every time you complete a research. Full automation? Nope, unless there's a mod for it. You can queue up orders with shift tho and have it build up as many systems as you have the minerals for.

Can anyone tell me how it will work if I set a population to be purged, then put the planet that has the being purged population into a sector, a sector that comprises only that system? Will it break anything, especially once all those pops are purged?
