Why is it sometimes resources from mods are able to be brought/sold on the internal market and other times they can't? Does the galactic market happening get in the way?

As I've mentioned before, I'd way prefer it if Ring Worlds were changed to be like the Halo rings and changed to be built like Habs in that they are much smaller rings in orbit around the sun/gas giants. That would make their housing numbers much more reasonable.

The atmosphere is artificial and probably uses shields; so you can probably have them in the middle of deep space if you wanted to. The point of the goldilocks zone is the distance from a light source for heat; but this obviously can be adjusted if the atmosphere is protected by shielding; you can be closer with thicker shields, or have artificial means of generating heat when further. But by "gas giant" I meant to say the gas giant is in the goldilocks zone or the orbit around the sun at 1 AU; but in reality this isn't needed for higher order civilizations.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

I would agree that downsizing the ring worlds would make a lot of sense and let them fit into the scale of the rest of the game much better.

That's just a weird looking Habitat then. The whole point of a ring world is to be a ridiculously massive object around a star.

I for one find my 500 corvette federation fleet intensely amusing. I changed the ship designs to feature missiles so imagine 500 torpedos deleting whatever was on the receiving end from existence.

Since they don't spin, in order for gravity to work the ringworlds texture of the bit people live on should be on the side away from the sun so gravity can still pull them downwards.

Assuming it's built at the approximate radius of Earth's orbit, the gravitational force from the sun would be tiny, about 0.0005 times the surface gravity on Earth; the average person would weigh approximately 0.1 lbs. About half a Mandarin orange. You'd have to spin that poo poo and live on the inside.

Ak Gara posted:Since they don't spin, in order for gravity to work the ringworlds texture of the bit people live on should be on the side away from the sun so gravity can still pull them downwards. Personally I think they should crank the gently caress out of Ringworlds. It should, in fact, be absolutely feasible to comfortably move your entire civilization, literally every single pop, onto the Ring. There should simply be unlimited housing. If this means that civilizations transition into Ringworlds naturally in the late game, so be it, fewer things to have on the planner even if you might still need or want "Ringworlds" to have multiple segments for the sake of stacking specialist bonuses. The limit of a Ringworld should be mineral income. Nothing else. e: They should also crank the gently caress out of everything, because the big thing that makes me stop playing this drat game is how same-y it is. The only difference in a certain playthrough is which sorts of aliens I get into, or don't get into, wars with. But if I could in fact cram ten thousand biotrophies and thirty thousand screaming hulkamaniac caretakers onto a Ringworld, that would at least be a change of pace. As it is I mostly limp through the same poo poo and just barely touch the actual game-changing technologies by the time I get bored with the run.

Dunno how that maths out for how long it'd take a single point on the ring to make a full rotation (ie a year), but it occured to me that you could place satellite features in stationary orbit to give the various phases of the year different things (moons and such). You'd probably want some blockers arranged to give night cycles as well, which I'd image would be plastered with energy collectors and could go a long ways towards powering the actual rotation of the ring.

The shadow squares things is literally exactly how it works in Niven's ringworld, right down to using energy generated by the squares to power everything from the ac to gigantic attitude thrusters that keep the whole thing from flexing too hard and snapping into (comparatively) tiny pieces. If anybody decides to read Ringworld I wouldn't bother going past the 2nd book, Ringworld Engineers, unless the story really grabs you. lotsa xenocompatability going on over thur

The Ringworld didn't snap apart because it was made of unobtanium; the attitude adjusters were used to keep the Ringworld from just sliding off or colliding with its host star because it doesn't actually orbit. After a bunch of nerds pointed out "the Ringworld is unstable" it became the plot point of the second book.

If a governer gives a research boost for jobs, is it just for each research job, or any job? I'd have assumed the former, but it does just say "jobs". Also, still got pretty bad unemployment. Maybe it's my inexperience, but I'm building all the time and the little red "unemployed" icon is just a permanent feature up and down my outliner. I've converted my robot factories to other stuff, build some commercial buildings for the high job numbers and discouraged growth on all my planets with no more district space. Started building a ringworld now so hope to ship a bunch of excess people out there when it's done. Also got a potential jump to social welfare in my back pocket too, so not exactly getting killed by this. It just feels like a constant battle. I should probably queue buildings and districts a bit more instead of building one at a time, and have another look at sector management. I kind of like micromanagement but it's getting a bit much, I guess that's another question - how good is the AI at managing sectors for you? Am I going to get big fluctations in my various resource incomes from letting it manage things (of particularly concern would be more precious commodities like exotic gases, mote, crystals etc, some which obviously power upgraded buildings).

I just remembered that simply building it in place and setting it spinning wasn't enough and they needed the thrusters for reasons but couldn't remember exactly why.

It's not great. I still use them once I hit 5-10 actively developing planets and I don't bother dropping my Ecus into sectors as the sheer number of jobs they provide can turbofuck your economy if it suddenly decides you need 15 industrial districts and you run the Automatic Pop Migration mod. Which you should, as it solves so many annoying micromanagement fiddly shits without excessively punishing you like discourage growth does.

That would be a nice policy option, but it would probably have a be -33% output to make it more of a trade-off. -25% is basically nothing, and would mean enabling that policy from the start and never thinking about it again.

So the last time I played Stellaris was shortly after the launch of Leviathans, and I can see a -lot- has changed. As someone that has found Paradox games largely too dense to get into but liked what I played of Stellaris before, is there anywhere I can read up/see videos on the changes or view a general tutorial that's updated for the most recent expansion?
