Is the plasma accelerator tech supposed to give me the caravan plasma weapons? Because they are ridiculously overpowered. Edit: Comparison:

Crazycryodude posted:"All available worlds" is literally every single planet in a normal empire in the galaxy so that would probably get unmanageably crowded, but something to sort the top dozen most valuable or something might work Ideally it'd only list places you can actually build them, which includes the commercial pact/federation member limitation. Also it wouldn't list planets where rivals have branch offices. My experience is that this would be a lot of planets but not anything unreasonably manageable.

Speaking of sectors, I noticed that when you transfer resources to them it doesn't keep track of energy and minerals separately? Meaning you can give them only energy and they'll use that energy to build districts and buildings. This is probably cheesable in some way.

Okay one thing that is winding me up, if a planet drops below the pop amount needed for a building (e.g. you go from 40 to 39), any building in that slot isn't deactivated, nor are you just dealing with a labor shortage, it's destroyed immediately. Have to pay to repair it when your pops go back up. I don't think if the NHS has a nurse shortage because of Brexit we're going to demolish every hospital in Britain but the ruins of my gene clinics imply that's exactly what my spacey boyes did.

Nanite fabricators, Slave facilities, Planetary shield generators and other buildings should produce jobs rather than just the 2.1 tile system of 'Building grants stuff'.

Anno posted:Now that we’re no longer constrained by the tile UI I’d love a mod that expanded the range of planet sizes. I’d be so stoked if every few games I zoned into a solar system with like a size 45 planet, even if it’d probably gently caress late game balance in a way. Hoping mods can do this now, given that size 25+ planets were always possible just, as you say, the same as 25s because of the UI. Also, and touching on your screename here, I'm hoping someone comes out with a Hypersperg mod that requires you to set up Anno-esque production chains 16 resources long before you can build the good poo poo.

Grouchio posted:1. God loving damnit all of my 80+ mods are now incompatible for the better part of the month. No upkeep on building colonies, districts provide basic jobs that gives poo poo like energy, minerals, food. Buildings make advanced jobs that give poo poo like research, commodities, or alloys. Alloys are used for space buildings and ships, minerals for civilian districts/builds and most advanced resources. Don't overbuild, if you give people the choice to work in the mines or a hospital they're not going to pick the mines, and you can therefore tank your economy when all your dudes move to white collar work.

Like that change just adds a job tax to these buildings that don't really need one. I mean, it doesn't really make sense that a planetary shield would be running full time, does it? My overly-complex idea (so it'll fit the jobs system perfectly!  I do like the bones of the update, Wiz!): I'd say give it one or two technician jobs (it is a generator, after all), but it applies a malus to your energy generation while the planet's being bombarded (probably a flat amount?) Hell, you could make it stonewall bombardment and invasion, but ramp the energy cost up over time (ruin it if energy hits zero). Gives you time to respond when your fleet is on the other side of your empire and someone attacks an important world, but you have to either deal with it, or disable the shield.

Anyone else run into the "fun" issue where enemy fleets can shoot at your fleet, but your fleet just refuses to enter combat mode so they just fly around getting their poo poo kicked in without shooting back? All the while the advisor is constantly yelling about how a fleet has engaged in combat (it hasn't).

I don't know if it was done with this update but I love that you can actually complete the precursor chain now. Before the home system would always spawn in some random rear end place on the other side of the galaxy deep in the borders of an empire that hates you but now it actually appears in a place where you can get to and exploit it. I've owned Stellaris since release and only yesterday did I finally grab the precursor achievement.

Why are you empty quoting your drive by poo poo post? Honestly for how drastically things changed I'm surprised by the lack of problems I've run into. (Only really significant one is anomalies over-writing existing resources instead of adding to the value, at least for some instances).

SniperWoreConverse posted:Same and FUCKIN SAME losing resources is terrible and you need to consider if you want to do the anom or if you want to just leave it unexplored all game. It is annoying when it happens, but I figure it happens to everyone currently so I'm not exactly being hurt by it. Unless it is an amazing modifier I just research because I like anomalies. Shadowplay at +6 would be crazy strong with the new scaling modifiers though. In other news, the penalty to consumer goods from your economic policy is only from produced goods. I'm not sure if this is an oversight or intended, but if you use the trade good option to split your trade between energy and consumer goods, you don't take a hit to consumer goods. edit: Gamerofthegame posted:so uhh Hiveminds still get stability from amenities and it does stuff. Housing still effects stuff for them too. The only thing that gets completely taken out is consumer goods, which actually makes stuff like research a ton simpler for them (since they just use minerals instead of consumer goods).

Wow this thread is active now! I did a tutorial enabled reinstall, cleared everything, top default human race, iron Man. And I was boxed in to like 9 systems and fearing the worst, coming out of early game. I'd been pumping curator research and allied research sharing with my weak similar ethos neighbor and lucked into 4 habitable colonies boardering earth. I finished precursor, my neighbor gave me the last artifact out of good will even though it was behind a closed border and got the mega planet. (I eventually made it my capitol and routed the trade routes to it) Khan fired and I lacked a strategic resource I wanted so I hired a rogue marauder/pirate fleet for 16k energy and claim war'd my way to it. Now the Khan is destroying everyone who snubbed me (other side of the universe) and there are refugees coming to my systems in droves and I have the highest fleet cap and tech. Good 6 hours on very fast (so far). What helped me in my sectors was realizing I can migrate my unemployed to new world's pretty easy.

Honestly a good way to test the job priority system is to do a 5x habitable worlds, 5x pre-ftl planets, and play barbaric despoilers and raid; you build an incredible economy from the bottom up. The crazy thing is the new race ended up being a clerk, and i colonized planets using the raided race, and they then enslaved their own races on those planets. Messed up, but effective!
