They're hard at work on it apparently. I wish we got some actual updates though, like a dev blog type thing. There are some glaring launcher issues that have to be fixed BEFORE the big federation update. The sooner they're fixed the less permanent damage to the modding scene tbh. I fear if the launcher mod tools arent improved before then a lot of people will give up on modding. There's also 0 communication regarding some mod function requests. No one listens so it's kinda very demotivating to continue at times. I sometimes feel like the game is in a "push new content every 6 months" "maintenance" mod. Only new DLC, no fixes or improvements to the lesser base game stuff. There doesn't seem to be any time alocated to QA all the new things and even less time to go back and fix glaring infuriating bugs with base game stuff or previous DLCs. Frankly, it reeks of management greed. It's reminding me of earlier EA. There doesn't seem to be time any more for the devs to love their creations. And people wonder why I wont try for a content creator position at PDX. The /pace/ sounds demoralizing to work in. At least, that's how I feel the past few updates have been.

That's absolutely the stage we're at. The last big change to a base game system was the Sector change, which was developed alongside DLC. I think it's safe to assume most of the code guys were reassigned to CK3. Maybe some of those guys will be redistributed back to Stellaris when CK3 launches. More likely they'll get handed Stellaris 2: Stellar is Back

I'd be way more excited for Juggernauts and Mega-Shipyards if megastructures weren't already such a chore.

I maintain that mega structures should be super-habitats that you build in over a period of decades with special job slots attributing to the construction process. Give planets a great works slot type that does the same. So you might construct an orbital ring that spans the entire planet and acts as a defensive structure, or a mega dock for your fleets. Basically import the great works from CK2 as something the player can invest in over the course of an entire game.

Origins are a thing I've been waiting for a long time. Wondering if they can limit civic selection though.Splicer posted:It seems like we're getting at least the groundwork for a diplomacy revamp out of Federations, and the Origins change is a decently big deal. However, they do really, really need to do a full QA pass at some point. No new systems or content, just go over everything currently in the game, normalise and refactor and bugcheck and edge case check everything. But that's a huge hunk of work, and you need to be 100% happy with the base systems or you'll just be redoing it all again a year later, and the only moneymaking DLC you could develop anything alongside it would be purely cosmetic or you'd be introducing new bugs as you work out the old ones. I feel like you could pretty safely do another Distant Stars type content pack along with this. Sure there might be bugs in the new events and anomalies but that's less likely to spill over into established systems.

Combining Calamitous Birth with Terrorvore sounds amazing. You're a race of horrifying rock monsters that expand by smashing meteorites into other worlds and then consuming them to make more meteorites. I will be very disappointed if they can't just ignore ground combat by firing enough meteors at inhabited planets.

I really had a lot of fun playing as a terravore until a FE awakened and was the type to hate all sorts of war, hated me for genociding the sleeping FE (and half the galaxy), and proceeded to pick me apart system by system because I only had four fleets and it takes years to fly halfway across the galaxy. Good times, lessons learned. I'll probably wait until the next update to try again.

Hegemon and common ground seem like the strongest origins. Having two permanent allies or vassals right from game start, and assuming they start with all the infrastructure you'd expect from a capital world for both of them, means you effectively have an advanced start ai of a federation, minus the extra tech. The main worry I'd have is running out of colonization space, on the other hand, expansion could be incredibly quick between the three of you.

I've been out of the loop for a while, did they ever buff Habitats after they removed tiles? I remember they used to suck a lot and that makes the void dweller origin less appealing.

When you build them over planets with resources you can build districts to extract them. So if you build over a planet that you could use a space mine to get minerals you can build mineral mining districts. You can actually get a pretty good haul out of uncolonizable planets that way and they are good for making the best use of your territory.

That Ringworld origin sounds like an exciting trap for new players, because unless it's a special magic segment it won't have any mining districts and your early game mineral production will be terrible.

Energy will also be a huge problem. I'm not sure how that start could work unless they added something. Same goes for a lot of other starts, they seem pretty boring unless they add something else which they very well might. I think relic world might actually be the best of the "weird starting places" from that list? Habitat seems like it'd be kinda rough going to start due to minerals/alloys.

For the Habitat start, it could start over a mineral planet so you have a mine. For the Ring World they could change it so that it can have mines (because there is all that planetary matter that goes into building it or something).

For habitats it'd have to be combined with some sort of huge buff to hydroponics farms as well as starting with the tech to build them.

I wonder if they are close to a release with them announcing all of the Origins? Now I am going to have a hard(er) time playing knowing that such a big and cool change is coming.hobbesmaster posted:For habitats it'd have to be combined with some sort of huge buff to hydroponics farms as well as starting with the tech to build them. lol Maybe they are re-working Habitats again?
