Potato Salad posted::O It adds housing for the biotrophies, not the robots running the research labs. But, since biotropies count for building slot unlocks, you could have 200 some odd biotrophies pretty easily, which I think is +20% for the research robots while not needing gas for upgraded research facilities? It’s at least a good spot to dump biotrophies.

Thanks to ideology wars I have turned 3 neighboring kingdoms into xenophobe spiritualists and now nobody wants to talk to anyone. I've turned 1/4th of the galaxy into monastic shut-ins who can't be bothered to interact with anyone else.

For wages to rise in a food shortage people would have to be working the land they own rather than someone else's land, otherwise only profits would rise. You'd also have to assume that the price of food wasn't already manipulated to be as high as possible by controlling supply which is a bad assumption. Stellaris has nothing in common with a traditional liberal economy and is infinitely better for it.

Stellaris has nothing in common with a traditional liberal economy and is infinitely better for it. Yup. Stellaris is only planned economies, actually. To think that any economy functions as simply as that dude thinks is very lol. Plus Stellaris has a button you can push that instantly pulls all the farmers off the government-owned farms and send them into the government-owned mines. In the real world, during a resource shortage, the owners of means of production rarely expand operations to increase production since they make more money by exploiting a shortage than fulfilling a market need. Sometimes they'll even prevent other people from trying to produce a scarce resource. It usually takes government action to compel capitalism to actually service the needs of an economy.

Like someone suggested, build up the station as a bastion, probably using just Gun modules. I tend to overestimate Shard's strength and usually delay getting the Rubricator for longer than I should, because usually when I finally trigger it Shard goes down quickly (to like ... 20ish thousand fleet power? I always try to prep 20k-30k for any Leviathan). edit: VVV That. Very much that. Vavrek fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Jul 19, 2019 |

standard.deviant posted:The relic is decent, but not in the top tier. The earlier you get it the better the research boost is, but the artifacts are decent all game long. I wish it gave +0.1 artifacts a month as the passive, and the active was something else, maybe spawning a baby dragon, or gaining Ketling pops, or maybe giving a random tech?

TBH, minor artifacts are not useful. Like, the fallen empire building is cool, but every other use is marginal empire bonuses, like -5% amenities use for 5 years. The only ‘secrets’ project worth doing is the Cybrex one, all the others just give tier 3 techs and a small bonus. For how scarce they are, you would think they would be way more powerful. And occasionally, you get a digsite (asteroid blast doors) that gives 50-100 minor artifacts. Seems balanced.

You're forgetting one use: selling them. I'm pretty sure you max out the reward pretty early, and 500 energy per artifact is a lot at that point of the game.

Man, I always burn out on Stellaris games later in the campaign when I own half the galaxy, have 20+ planets to manage, and my fleets take forever to get around. And this is on tiny galaxy settings. Maybe I need to start using sector AI once I start feeling safe.

Systems are assigned precursors on galaxy generation, and you get assigned one based on where your science ships are surveying, I think the first anomaly you roll in a precursor system? But yeah you can definitely re-roll it by rolling back your save to before your first discovery.

If you're not playing Ironman, you can use the debugtooltip command in the console window to see which precursors are assigned to which system.

You could probably write a custom system generator to ensure you start in a nebula, no clue on the others.

Guili modifiers removes any semblance of challenge and the game becomes a piece of cake, he stuffs the galaxy with overabundance of resources that by year 2 or 3 you could have 40+ or such in energy and minerals, he also adds unity as a gathered resource to asteroids along with 20 energy or something as ridiculous.

It gives you three genius scientists and lets you pick traits and agenda for your starting ruler and governor. It also gives you edicts to hire surveyors, generals, and admirals with specific traits. Probably op as hell but I'm not really a fan of the random leader/trait system as is.
