Captain Invictus posted:Make simultaneous Megastructure construction have a tech or empire size requirement instead of always being one at a time Why have any requirement at all? I just ponied up tens of thousands of minerals, and now I'm able to do it again. Clearly I have the industrial capacity to build multiple megastructures.

The ingame fluff says something about how your experienced engineers are all busy with a project already or something but that makes less sense when you're a gestalt consciousness.

Are there tentacle demon body pillows and this was just an oddball example of it, or was this a real wake up call to them that some seriously messed up people probably exist out there?

Have you seen what normally ends up on these things? Do we need to show you what waits further down the rabbit hole? The fact that it doesn't have a giant dick(s), isn't covered in breasts or fur or look like a 4 year old girl probably makes it pretty drat tame in compairison. It does look pretty phallic and has tentacles though so who knows what they think. At the end of the day they're probably just as numb it as we are.

I'm playing as Passive Aggressive Psychic Pacifist Turtle People right now. The rules are simple: 1) Only build military ships in a defensive war. 2) Retrofit all military ships after a war to have nothing, not even FTL drives. 3) Retrofit them back to your top-tier military ships the instant someone declares war on you, preferably tailored to counter their ships. 4) Insult everyone who shares a border with you, every time you can. 5) Be Fanatic Pacifists 6) Be turtles. I'm probably going to get a Domination victory through habitat spam. It's 2300 and I have about 10 habs, pull in 1k/month in minerals, and am within a couple years of my final tradition tree. I'm at my starbase cap, all of which are Citadels and have a full compliment of defense platforms. I literally can't spend all my money. Question: If I take the colossus project as my final Ascension perk, will defensive wars against the AI be total wars where I can take territory in a war? I'm influence-limited and can't afford to claim my neighbor's space.

ConfusedUs posted:I forgot about the bubble. You know, come to think of it, putting an entire empire inside bubbles could make for a really good story. "Centuries ago, we were just one planet of a vast, united, all-powerful empire. But then we met some right bastards who sealed us all within an impenetrable bubble, unaware of what goes on outside. Now, the forces that created the bubble have weakened and vanished. Once again, we are able to take to the stars. But what will we find? How will our long-lost brothers have evolved under the stress of isolation? What hard compromises were made to keep civilization functioning on a planet which was once integrated with a galactic economy? What planets failed to adapt and collapsed? Can we once more be one people, or are the divergences now too vast to be bridged?"

If I have the resource throughput to afford multiple megastructures and you don't, I've already won the game anyway. The megastructures themselves aren't actually all that good. At the point you're building megastructures the only really important cost is time, which forces you to choose which one to build. I'd argue that megastructures are actually that good, you're exchanging (probably peacetime) minerals for a large boost that comes with no side effects. The time factor is pretty much the only thing that keeps it in line with other perk options, which is a purely gameplay perspective of why not only do they take a lot of time but you can't build multiple at once. Also a complaint of "I've already won the game why can't I just do anything" is a weird stance to base a complaint on. Maybe look at the case where you don't have the game already won, and think about design from that stance.

I tried to run a super tall Unity focused empire and I didn't end up liking it. I got 6 traditions unlocked by 2270 which is cool, but research at that point is absolutely horrific. You have to spam science ships (I had uh...10?) and keep hoping you hit the jackpot with anomalies granting research. Gonna run a Devouring Swarm now I think. Speaking of which, how is that added in? I've tried to pay attention and like have a tech that needs 1000 research left to unlock, get a reward of 250 research, and it...stays the same? Does it get removed from the next tech cost?

So i found this system with 2 habitable planets. One was empty, the other had a PreFTL civilization. I colonized the empty planet, and later enlightened the PreFTL race. They proceeded to enslave every colonist in the system. I guess that's gratitude for you.

You have to do some serious gymnastics to envision a scenario where you're in a competitive situation with peer empires AND you have the tech to be building megastructures AND it's better to spend minerals on megastructures to gain a benefit some years in the future rather than getting more fleet power now. Megastructures are really just vanity projects, might as well just let me build them.

I guess that's why all the FEs and precursors have/had them, they got high on their own supply instead of going out and conquering the galaxy.

Also if you generate science without a tech picked to research it gets dumped into the same pool instead of being wasted. Not sure how research modifiers affect all of this though.

Splicer posted:Goes into a pool that gets sucked from 1 to 1 with research. So if you have a 1000 point research and get 300 points you'll be progressing twice as fast until you hit 600 research and then you'll drop back to standard speed. modifiers are applied after research points. so if i generate 30 engineering points, and i have a pool of 600 engineering points available through events, then i get points deducted from that pool equal to the amount of points i generate (doubling my points temporarily) and then if i have +50% research on top of that my total research output is (30*2)*1.5=90 points

Any sort of game where you're territorially constrained and can't afford a massive fleet owing to low energy income is an excellent candidate for building the Sphere or the Hub, especially now that habitats have a higher influence cost and are less spammable. This particularly applies to pacifists who are not capable of expanding aggressively but may want a larger fleet to go on wars of liberation. Sure, you can put those minerals into ships now, but you also have to maintain them unless you're planning on disbanding most of your fleet after a war.

There is literally an anime about a bubble world called scrapped princess. Not sure how to allude to it without spoiling it unfortunately, but it's a good series.
