How do internal trade routes work? I have a bunch of systems with high trade value but not sure what to do with them.

The only possible drawback is that if they get too big and become a normal empire when the Khan dies, you'll become a normal vassal instead of a satrapy and they can then integrate you -- but they won't have the massive event-spawn fleets then. How hard is it to claw back? I think I am screwed either way, so I might as well see if they can crush me before the event dies down.

Just make sure they are within trade reach of a starbase, e.g. there is either a starbase in system or one with trading hubs x jumps away where x is number of trading hubs on that starbase.

Fuuuuck, I had to surrender since they took my 3 most built up worlds and now I have no consumer goods or alloy production. Note to others - don't specialize too much! I can probably claw back with my 15 colonies. But I am not sure how I am beating the 100k army these guys have before they integrate me.

Man I'm not sure what early research I should favor. I think I'm liking the +station increases, and the +unity and +pop growth in green techs. The +research from pops is nice, but I think those'll get delayed a bit in exchange for resources now.

FYI for people having problems with the UI being tiny, you can scale it in the options. I have it at 1.2 and it's much easier to read. I haven't noticed any text overlap so far or other wierd issues that come with paradox UI scaling yet.

I'm not sure if it is all hive mind or just devouring swarms, but I don't have unemployed pops. Unemployed drones go into the 'scavanging drone' slot and produce 1 mineral. Everyone works! edit: colony ship costs are different too: 500 food and 200 alloys.

I keep trying to see how I can change what robot is being built and come up with nothing.  Don't tell me forbidding population controls means it's unethical and illegal to tell a factory which model of robot to produce? Am I missing a button or am I seriously locked out?

Just the standard disable/demolish building options. *edit* Confirmed it's population controls. Just turned them off, enraging my egalitarian faction, and now I have full robot choice. I'm guessing this is a bug.

So empire size is pretty tough to increase? Means that going over the limit is similar to the natural expansion penalties you accumulated before LeGuin?

Mmm. Means Imperial Prerogative is actually something you consider, as it cuts your penalty, cutting your costs.

So I know for non-corp empires I should be ignoring the admin cap, but what about corps? Has anyone played enough to figure out if ignoring it is too detrimental?

Torrannor posted:So empire size is pretty tough to increase? Means that going over the limit is similar to the natural expansion penalties you accumulated before LeGuin? Yes the old penalties that were sort of hidden from view are now bundled into admin cap. So you get a bit of a grace period on size before the normal penalty kicks in, and there are some choices that interact with it.

Yeah, Administrative Capacity is basically just a grace period before the old tech/unity cost increases start. Bloodly posted:Mmm. Means Imperial Prerogative is actually something you consider, as it cuts your penalty, cutting your costs. Not by much unless you're very close to your Administrative Capacity.

In most of my games I was at empire size ~200 by the 2250s with room to continue growing. Getting +20 or +50 empire size ain't going to count for poo poo by the late game. At best it'll shave a few credits worth of maintenance off every month. All the penalties for size were in the game before 2.2 (except for leader salaries) only now they're listed in one place instead of making you look all over for them in tool tips.

So I'm just getting into my first megacorp game without really having paid much attention to the changes. It seems like alloys are the new minerals? You are expected to use the market to get most of them right, at least it's what I'm doing.

There are now resource chains.

You are expected to use the market to get most of them right, at least it's what I'm doing. So basically you have 2 types of resources now: those from basic jobs and those from specialized jobs. Districts are you main source of generating basic jobs (though stuff like energy nexus will also make a basic technician job): yellow for technician (energy), red for minerals, green for food. Each of those three also gives you some housing. The number of colored boxes are the number of that type of district that you can build on a planet. You can also build city districts, which have like 3 times the housing but only provide 1 clerk job (makes trade value and amenities). Then you use your building slots to get specialist jobs. The alloy factory makes 2 metallurgist jobs, which use up minerals and makes alloys. You'll have several of these advanced resources, and the market is sort of there to help you if you mess something up or have really imbalanced incomes, etc. Alloys are used for most space constructions, so you'll need a bunch of them for ships and stations, but districts and buildings use minerals, and you also use minerals to make basically all your advanced resources. edit: wiz or lord mune, would it be possible for your UI guys to edit the "unemployed pops" listing for hive minds to instead show the number of scavanger drones? Since unemployed automatically go scavange, seeing it always be 0 means I have to go manually check how many scavangers are running around.

You are expected to use the market to get most of them right, at least it's what I'm doing. Basically yes. Alloys are going to be your big bottleneck, and you use the market to get them when you need big bursts. And there's much less of an issue with running negative in something, because you can very easily get stuff from the market.

Wiz/Mune here is another minor bug if you're cruising through. Devouring swarm, found some rudimentary robots. Still had the option to take them or scrap for minerals, now I've got 2 robot pops that I'm eating (food and society research gain). Eating pops also qualifies as a worker job, so it gets bonuses from stuff like the lush planet modifier.prefect posted:
Settings, Graphics, at the bottom should be UI Scaling (Experimental).

I'm not sure this is a bug or not, but I keep getting flooded with food in the early game. I even tried making my guys eat more, but my food production went up instead! I mean, it's nice I can keep boosting my capital and sell tons of food to get other stuff, but it's getting weird. The tool tip on food production claims that there is no consumption at all. Is food consumption listed somewhere else or does this mean my game is broken? Edit: To test something, I changed one of my farming pops to clerks and my net food production went down by about 25%. I have 4 farmers. This means no-one in my empire actually eats anything! Should I report this as a bug? Has someone else 0 food consumption?

Check the options menu, should be under graphics listed as 'UI Scaling' or something along those lines. It's still in beta but works fine for the most part. If you turn it up really high you'll begin seeing weird anomalies but I've not noticed anything odd with it set at 2.0x.
