In 2.0 you have to have start the Domination tree before you can do that.

NihilCredo posted:So, the impression I get is that there isn't one big goon-recommended overhaul mod for Stellaris, a la CK2+, but there are a lot of good mods like Glavius' AI and the goon empires pack which people recommend. Here's my usual collection - includes Real Space, a bit of graphic mods that work well with it, Guilli's planet mods, some gameplay fix mods, the better ship model mods, a ton of music, and space elves ready to be genocided. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1357054878 Things I avoid - - AlphaMod components (overcomplicated as hell with not much payoff) - new ship classes or components (they tend to break other mods horribly, AI has no idea what to do with them) - most AI "fix" mods (Glavius' latest seems to not suck horribly) - anything that adds new traditions, almost anything that adds new ethics (balance is always an issue and we're already overpowered with the planet mods/extra minerals from Real Space) - Beautiful Universe (it's horrible despite the name! Has some default system backgrounds that are just really bad) - anime - Nazis - anime Nazis (note: the "Elves of Stellaris" mod set comes close to breaking the above "no anime Nazis rule", but it's really well done graphically, the game mods are interesting, and it's fun and easy to murder elves) Lum_ fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Apr 9, 2018 |

I gotta agree with you about Beautiful Universe. The default backgrounds are definitely uninspired, but some of the ones in BU are just bad. Like, of all the colors the nebula in the background could be, why pick brown? I like mods that spruce up the place (love the tile blockers in Giulli's!) but there is some room for a competing background replacer mod in Stellaris.

Try Real Space if you haven't, it adds some objects in most systems and spaces them out so it seems properly epic.

Garfu, Jazerus, Lum: Thanks for the modlists! Current (vanilla) game status: my moderately-rear end in a top hat spiritualist-imperialist space turtles have just conquered a whopping seven planets of my neighbouring moderately-rear end in a top hat spiritualist-imperialist space ferns. The thematically fitting choice would be to turn them into a vassal nation, and I do have full Domination traditions. But I'd like to genemod them a bit first, and maybe rebuild / redevelop their planets while I'm at it. Problem is, all their planets are quite understandably at 100 unrest. Is there a way I can keep them from spamming revolts for a few years? Martial Law edicts aren't gonna cut it.

What's the best way to take a star system back from a vassal? I got into a war recently and my loyal vassal "helped" by taking random rear end star systems from the enemy which are now under their control and are messing up my borders. I tried to trade for them but the ungrateful pukes won't trade systems under any circumstances. Aside from releasing them and declaring war, is there any other way to clean up the borders aside from a massive galactic civil war?

If you aren't playing Ironman, tag switch to them through the console, gift the systems back to yourself then tag switch back. Note you can only give away systems that border the recipient. Also a good idea to pause while doing this.

ConfusedUs posted:Nope! Total Wars can result in some really weird and hosed up borders. And lo, the Korat were faithful servants to the Terrans. Uncountable Korat gave their lives in the furtherance of their master's conquests. Yet when the enemies of humanity had been defeated, the Terrans suddenly turned their terrible fleets upon the Korat systems. As planet after planet fell, the Korat could only wonder "what have we done to deserve this betrayal?" And as the last remaining Korat huddled on their homeworld, with the Terran's Planet Cracker above ready to strike, they received a terse reply from their former gods. "Sorry, need clean borders and couldn't wait until the diplo patch." As the Korat pondered the meaning of this cryptic message, they were bathed in the light of the Planet Cracker's beam...

wiki posted:Non-Ruler Leaders are generated with one pre-existing trait suitable for their class. Every time a Leader gains a level, they have a chance to receive an additional trait, provided they do not already have 3 traits. Scientists that are leading research are excluded from this form of trait gain. Otherwise, traits can be received from events and anomalies.

If you aren't playing on ironman you can put in "debug_yesmen" in the console, and the computer will agree to any deal you suggest, you could do that and have them trade you the systems.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I would like to say that it is not because my scientists have gotten traits upon leveling up while leading research, but I am not positive about it. I have plenty of scientists with multiple traits, but I am pretty sure that most of them get multiples when commanding science ships exploring or Assisting Research. There is a check on level up for any leader for traits. However anomaly events can give traits, so exploring scientists will naturally get more over time.

Holy poo poo this is handy. I've never ever had any AI agree to a system trade, even if they're my vassal and ready to climb right up my rear end for any other kind of trade or treaty.

It's really stupid when you think about it. You could gift them a 4 planet super system and they'll be like "meh ok thanks" and give you a +10 decaying relations. But no matter how many tens of thousands of energy and credits you give them, they'll fight tooth and nail to keep you from getting that garbage empty system.

I started in a little loop of systems, with one half of the loop being cut off by crystal ships, on one side the crystal core of all things. Once I managed to get through, what should I find but some poor saps that had been stuck there for years with no way out.

Did Apocalypse add some other kind of pirate base besides the little 72 power border harassment bases? Or are you talking about the ancient pirate enclave with the Old Guard galleon (that really should break the back of piracy once you get big enough to snuff it)?

iospace posted:So only use those three systems available to me and sit and wait? Yeah. If you have three systems adjoining you, I bet at least one (and maybe both) have a planet with good habitability. You'll have a tiny empire so you should be able to speed through the tech and unity trees quickly with only a few buildings for each. You don't need to worry too much about a fleet for a long time because no one will know you exist. You won't have anything to spend Influence on, so you can keep most every edict up at all times.

It's the year 2415 in my game and I expect the endgame crisis to happen anytime. I am the unquestioned megapower in the galaxy, but I am playing peaceful superpower and never went to war. The rest of the galaxy is largely split between two dumbass federations, which are at war with each other, and a dumbass hegemon who jumps in to things for fun. But they all love me! How do I get them to stop warring with each other so that everyone can fight the endgame crisis? Without, you know, attacking them all myself?
