I guess it depends on whether or not you see the federation as space NATO or space UN. It feels a lot more like space NATO right now, which honestly isn't a bad way to do it. Does need fleshing out though, certainty.

The spiritualists are mad that your policy allows robots at all regardless of whether you're using them, if you'd rather have happy spiritualists you can disallow robots entirely to make them happy.

VikingofRock posted:I gene-modded my primary species after getting psyonics (in order to get rid of their "weak" modifier), and now they are no longer psyonic. Is there a way to get that back? It feels like a bug, so I'm fine with modding some file somewhere in the save or whatever. Turn on debugtooltip in the console, open the species window and mouseover your species to get the ID. Then type add_trait_species # trait_psionic in the console, where # is the ID you found earlier. Console is opened with ` or ~ (at least on a US keyboard). http://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Console_commands#List_of_Traits_.28Species.29

You gotta be careful to make sure the template you're using has the traits like psionic and isn't a template based on their base form.

Epicurius posted:That's pretty much what the Star Trek New Horizon mod does when you form the Federation. I guess my big question with that plan is, if you do that, and you and i federate, do you control the new state or do I? You'd still control your own planets and expand your own space, just certain statewide bonuses would apply to all members, maybe even have shared unity and food outputs, but influence gets distributed among members or something. It would make sense if joining a federation would raise the number of core sector planets so you essentially can become a "sector" of the bigger federation, you then need fewer governors and have more free leader slots for other stuff. There should always be the temptation to leave the federation once its bonuses stop being relevant, but maybe the federation should have some bonuses against a leaving member (like "intimate knowledge -20% evade" or something) to force them to rejoin at the cost of influence and opinion or some mechanism like that. It should feel like the federation from Star Trek, but less stable.

Probably ties back to the same reasons the ability to destroy planets, or depopulate them during a war, wasn't possible prior to the changes that came in 2.0 - it messed with the ways territory and wars worked. With that out of the way I imagine they're coming, the team just hasn't gotten back around to it yet.

Cloaking as a tech that enables a class of "spec ops" ships that can move without being seen* and past closed borders is something I want to see in an eventual espionage expansion. *subject to some kind of counter, maybe the ability to spend energy to sweep a system for suspected cloaked vessels?

I still want a midgame tech to weaponize asteroid fields in a way that your fleet can use them as creeping cover or you just throw a ton at a (fort?) planet. Basically Armageddon bombardment done cheap.

I switched to Liberation Wars policy as a "peaceful" Machine Intelligence, hoping to take a chunk out of my rear end in a top hat spiritualist neighbor and turn it into the beginning of a vassal empire, but the Ideology casus belli isn't triggering. Could it be related to the 4 ethics points mod I'm using (my leftover point after Machine Intelligence was spent on Materialist)?

Given that you can't have ethics as robots in the vanilla version of the game and consequently can't liberate, I'm guessing it's your mod.

I saw some older posts on Reddit saying that robots can liberate and that they would end up with Despicable Neutrals, and a community rep saying that the bug was fixed in an upcoming patch, but I guess that functionality got stripped out a long time ago.

Splicer posted:I hope so. I know I won't be able to replicate SotS1 plague bomb runs but still, they were good times. Abduct pops, spend science time developing pathogen, deploy pathogen. Pops on world carry plague and die slowly, victim can work on cures/vaccine using science. Depending on migration rules plague may jump across worlds, might even infect mutate to affect other species. And of course there would be similar malware for machine pops. You could almost build a whole expansion around this stuff.
