QuarkJets posted:Post a screenshot of your policies and the options for your robot species? Maybe someone will spot a solution  My AI-policies. Right down at the very edge you can see my empire only allows "displacement" purges. Fun fact: I set those to "no purges at all" after the fact, but it didn't change anything. The purges continue.  All my robot-types look like this under species rights.  This here was set to "extermination" when I first looked into here. Manually setting to "displacement" and forbidding all purges made the extermination-option disappear. The rest didn't change. Setting back to default rights also didn't do anything, and after the first try the game told me I have to wait the obligatory 10 years for the next attempt. So that's basically it, this game is hosed.

You should've set it to 'Neutering' instead and waited to see how the game handled all those robo-balls being removed. Also, you should post the save on the Paradox forums and ask for a fix.

I've filed a bug report. Also, like three other people have filed this exact same bug, as it turns out. This happens since 2.3.3, according to people on the forums. Apparently, if Paradox hasn't fixed this bug yet, it must not be very important to them. But if the next Beta patch includes a fix, I'll be surprised and thankful!

I'm just going to point out, that other fake edit: I just realized that tiny studios keep on top of it too, stuff like Cogmind and Qud have devs that are super-active and responsive to bug reports. real edit: I've also run afoul of that bug, several times too. It's kinda ruinous but I've played on. To be very clear here, Stellaris has a huge backlog of known major bugs that are languishing. Any given bug might only affect a minor slice of the vocal player base, but the sheer quantity of them all will all but guarantee that you'll be bumping into them.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:You do realize that they have limited resources and a lot of bugs to fix, right? Saying "if its not fixed it must not be important to them" makes you sound like a petulant child. You have to understand that if THREE out of the dozens of thousands of people playing the game after the release of this expansion have reported it, that is an incredibly small percentage of the playerbase affected. Just because you reported it doesnt mean they know how or why it is happening and how to fix it. Just because they havent fixed it doesnt mean that they dont want to or will refuse to; its just that some bugs are actually pretty hard to fix. Dude, I was joking. I do not actually care enough about a video game to get angry at the devs. Also the third one made his bug report for 2.3.3, so it's only two official bug reports for the newest patch. Last time I checked, that is. Back when I posted my own, I couldn't see anyone else, but then suddenly people started to post in that old one and at least a new one popped up the next day, so people are apparently noticing this issue. Also I don't know if I should count the additional people posting about the bug in those three threads, since they haven't "officially" filed a bug report, after all. In fact, I think I'm kind of lucky. I put 30+ hours into Stellaris in just three days, until this bug stopped me cold on Tuesday. Now I'm doing actually worthwhile poo poo like hanging up a new bird feeder in our garden, and reading books. Without that bug, I'd still try to force myself to finally complete a run of Stellaris.  Anyway, I recommend going outside and switching your computer off, as calling people "petulant child" over a video game bug is beyond parody and a sure-fire way to identify terminal internet poisoning, heh.

After they removed the... 70%(?) Conquest victory and only had this score victory (as well as 100% conquest) i've only ever finished one, maybe two games. 2400+ is just so booooring. Even if you have won so hard that you could fight the entire galaxy including fallen empires and the crisis at the same time, actually doing so is such a slog. I dislike the war in heaven for that reason - it's the definition of a hellwar and good god is miserable to actually play out. It doesn't even stop when you kill both awakened empires.

A lot of making this game interesting is setting the midgame/endgame dates correctly and playing on a small enough map. On default settings I can usually wipe out the marauders before they awake, and there's a ton of waiting around before the crisis starts. I'd suggest knocking something like fifty years off both midgame and endgame dates and playing on tiny maps - you get pretty much the same experience but it's compressed so you get more interesting stuff happening and less waiting around for it.

I got a funny error. I'm playing Fanatic Xenophobes with a side of Pacifism who started on a Gaia world. I turned off starting planets, drastically reduced the number of starlanes but jacked up Gates and wormholes to max. The first planet I settled was a Relic World and I got the text for slamming into it the way the rock people do. No penalties but the description of my peaceful tomato people hurling themselves into the planet as entire continents are obliterated was fairly startling.

Man, trying the old, "Build robots everywhere" strategy feels like it leaves you hella weak now. There just aren't enough building slots to have roboticists, amenities, and meaningful production on small worlds in the early game.

Sloober posted:i've actually stopped pulling the lever because 9 times out of 10 the wormhole was inconvenient I disable wormholes in all my games and never pull the lever, because they are almost always inconvenient. 9/10 one of the wormholes in my territory would link to a xenophobe FE, and after I started disabling wormholes I just find that I don't miss them. Maybe I'll enable them again one day and see if it significantly changes how the game plays... without linking to the xenophobe FE. The materials you get for tearing the lever apart will pretty much always be more useful than a random wormhole anyway.

Wormholes are the easiest way to not have any threats that matter while still having rivals etc. because it really does seem like most of the time the empire on the other end is jerks who the galaxy would be better off without. Also they're readymade chokepoints and chokepoints are the best. If I end up with one that connects to a FE i just jettison that system and have a gap.

So I'm having an issue with my current xenophobe/materialist void dwellers. I have gene-modded the hell out of my entire race but now I can't alter anything about their rights without taking away their citizenship because "they're too alien". This also happens with my original race template because, I assume, my race has become so different from it I'm not exactly hosed by this because I have a huge tech and economic lead, but it would be nice to have the option to change living standards. Besides this one hiccough though, I'm really enjoying the latest expansion (doubly so now that me and my friend I play multiplayer with aren't having desyncs every 15-30 minutes). Origins are good, new federations are good, Juggernaut seems cool but making Colossus Project a mandatory ascension perk for it feels lovely when you're not planning to build the drat colossus.

This is by far the most popular Paradox game on this forum. I don't really understand it though. I don't think it has improved that much from its flawed release. Guess many people like the sci-fi setting.

uXs posted:I guess a large part is because it starts with an empty map. Starting with the map unexplored, all the little anomalies and events, and exploration organically leading to you filling out your understanding of the galactic political map are all great in the very beginning. Honestly, being real-time-with-pause is a MASSIVE quality of life thing, especially in multiplayer where you're not all hamstrung by the one guy who'd be obsessively micromanaging every. little. thing. every. loving. turn.

Guess many people like the sci-fi setting. It's definitely a lot the setting/4x elements. I'm not really a huge fan of them which is partly why it's only my third favorite paradox game (behind vicky 2 and eu4), but I think it actually has improved massively since the release. It's certainly changed a lot a least. There are still a lot of problems though, I agree. Combat is my least favorite part of this game by a large margin and there are a ton of bugs, but I think the FTL, tiles, and diplomacy changes have all been steps in the right direction.

I prefer the EU4 style, with the map filled and you can chose your own challenge from what kind of nation you play. And after the first year or so the exploration got boring to me. I am probably not the target audience.

Can you stop trade routes from passing through your territory by closing borders to whoever is running that trade route? I'm playing a hive mind and for some reason there is now a trade route going from one entrance to my empire to the only other entrance to my empire. I don't want to have to "secure" a dozen or so systems for no good reason and I don't even know whose trade route it is.

Splicer posted:I'd like the armour and shield stuff to be moved to the basic side thing like power and engines and instead have more augment slots. In my ideal world, ship designs would automatically include the best reactor (they don't cost enough to ever make it worthwhile to downgrade them), and then engines, shields, and armor would be sliders. Engines would cost a lot of power but speed up the ship and increase evasion; shields also draw power but don't affect speed; and armor wouldn't cost power but would slow the ship down/make it evade worse. All three would also reduce the available space for actual components, meaning weapons and auxiliaries. That way you can choose to make a flying brick, a super-fast high risk/high reward interceptor, or a slow but really powerful gunboat, etc etc. Engine/shield/armor upgrades would make increasing the sliders more efficient. Of course, none of that would make much difference given the way combat currently works, but one step at a time...

It's explicitly a support ship I think. I use it to great effect as a mobile citadel (hang back and hold a choke point in enemy territory so they can't flank you) and to repair fleets deep in enemy territory. You should have jump drives by the time you get it which helps a lot but it definitely is annoyingly slow.
