Anno posted:It’s incredible how many Tomb worlds I have in my relatively small empire. If I could get someone to better than 30% habitability I could almost double the number of planets I currently have colonized. And three appear to be special. Sadly all the tomb-world favoring species in the game are primitives or don’t have a planet. probably found the ruined core area? i see those a bunch but never colonized them. i think they’re part of some sort of event chain.

So when I used to play you could pick what type of person you wanted to be on your colony ship and I guess you still can.. I have a arid world that's 58% habitability and like a ton of negatives for consumer goods/etc that is reducing habitability - what is this about really? Is this because I've expanded too much? I have people who like Arid climates and they're at 58% as well.

200 years into my first Federations game I feel like this is the best that Stellaris has been. Could change with time, though I feel the changes this patch won't really wear especially thin. Not what I expected a couple months ago when I was rather sad and down on the game.

You can strip the guns off your ships to artificially degrade your fleet power, wait for people to attack you, then steamroll them. A small price to pay for access to the adaptability tree and all that pop growth.

So, my research federation now covers roughly 2/3s of the galaxy, have been at wars for decades now, fighting against the spiritualist hordes, a robot uprising, a crime syndicate and spiritualist ancient empire. Oh yeah, and one of the other fallen empires are going active. This is going to be fun.

The event relies on them not being so I think? Alternatively the RNG just is an rear end in a top hat like that, it's still not particularly likely in any normal length game.

Caros posted:After a few years you get a second event allowing you to make them your God king which turns you spiritualist and (I think) militaristic? Fanatic Authoritarian / Spiritual. It also changes your civics to Philosopher King, Imperial Cult, and Aristocratic Elite, and makes you Imperial (with the Chosen One as your King/Queen). PittTheElder posted:Were they your ruler?

They can be any leader, not just your ruler.

karma_coma posted:So when I used to play you could pick what type of person you wanted to be on your colony ship and I guess you still can.. You can switch which species you're looking at in the expansion-menu, which will tell you the real habitability per species. The strategic map just shows you the best a planet can theoretically have, based on all your species. Just in case you didn't know. If none of your species can get better than 58%, you can either colonize the planet with robots (as soon as your techs allow it), do it anyway, or try terraforming it into something better.

I assume more of a simulationist thing than a gameplay thing. "Sometimes your leaders will randomly suck. poo poo happens." Stellaris at its core has always struggled with how much it's a simulation of a stellar empire and how much it's a 4X game.

There are certain things that can trigger leaders receiving negative traits, like certain anomalies and some of the Shroud covenants, stuff like that. The negative modifiers exist for that reason and if you're going to have traits that can turn a leader into an Addict then you may as well have those traits be in the random pool, too, cause you don't actually need scifi magic for someone to become a drug addict

I mean yes, but Stubborn is a thing. Do we really need a trait that essentially just is "Put a bullet in this man's head, now."? Cuz that's what Arrested Development is. A bullet to that leader's head.

Is it possible at all to try get supporters to switch sides within Senate votes? There's a vote coming up I don't want to pass because it would ruin my diplomatic weight (20% cut on economic weight when i'm a megacorporation). It's the climate change treaty funnily enough! I'm sorry guys better worlds aren't possible.
