It came up earlier, but it's super easy to make a namelist. A namelist is just two text files (a definition file and then the english localization file), which you can copy from any namelist mod and edit in a text editor. An in-game editor would be cool, too, of course.

But usually what happens is that I'm in-game, making an empire. I give them a backstory, select the appropriate civics and government, choose the right room and clothing, and then I'm stuck with the same list of mostly-nonsense names. Leaving the game to make a namelist and then coming back in completely breaks the flow.

I have three "abstract" name-lists I tend to go to, and Space Parsi (because Persian looks like space alien language to me, and I know absolutely nothing about it, so there's no pesky knowledge that could ruin my immersion). -Robots get a abstract name-list that's basically just numbers, so you get people called "Zero of One" etc. -Organics either get fluffy feelings ("Kind Love, general of the Brutaliens") or colors (this is my favorite, it gets you names like "Mellow Leander" or "Flowing Orange")

I made an edgy fantasy namelist which worked great for my toxic knights. I was getting messages about the adventures people like Knight Aegon Heartsplitter were going on. I have a lovely robot namelist I use for a determined exterminator empire I add them to all my games. I had Admiral "Glitchy Sentient Toilet" leading a massive fleet against me during this last game.

Dyson swarm is going to be the only way to get to a full Dyson sphere. I'm guessing that means the current first step of a Dyson sphere construction, the framework, is going to be removed entirely.

It's annoying, but not a dealbreaker. Just means I have to occasionally rename some fleets to unfuck it.

I got to the end of my crisis run and it crashed when I tried to blow up the universe. Now it's crashing after 10—20 minutes of play. I think my terravores ascended out of the game into my computer and now they're devouring it too.

I think this is Stellaris' equivalent of the Undertale Genocide ending. Thematically, still kinda weird that there's only one kinda Crisis ending, someone put it that the default Become the Crisis ending is a very suiting mad scientist/doomsday device kind of thing but seems a bit unfitting for most takes on Devouring Swarms and such. I suppose eating suns is a fitting escalation, but still. Would be a lot of fun if there were multiple options for Crisis Ascension paths!

You get unique text that makes it fitting imo - the lore for hiveminds is that you're absorbing the shroud into your collective. Machines also get their own explanation of what they're trying to do but I can't recall what exactly it is. The new dlc is also adding a new player crisis though! So far all they've said is it is focused on technological ascendancy at any cost. I think we get more detail in the next dev diary.

Just ate too much of a determined exterminator and crashed my economy. It never occurred to me before that I could turn off all non-worker jobs apart from a single roboticist on low hab planets and just have one grumpy guy running an entire robot mining colony.

Long time ago, for my first Syncretic Evolution run I think, I got a portrait mod which added dogs and made them the dominant species of Earth, with the SPQR name list, and then made humans the subservient laborer species and gave them the name list which came with the dogs.

 I have a current run I want to finish before the next DLC drops, and about 75 years in, my first thought was "poo poo, I'm already bulldozing the tech tree again, they didn't nerf enough"I only now slowly start dedicating new planets to be research planets, I just got lucky finding tons of research depots

I just invaded a pre-ftl species and added them to my empire. Unfortunately, it turns out they are necroids. How do you grow their pops if you are not a necroid? Is there a way I can change their species type using console commands or save game editing?

I'm sure you can, though I don't remember how off the top of my head. But why do you need to grow more of them?

Staltran posted:I'm sure you can, though I don't remember how off the top of my head. But why do you need to grow more of them? Its fairly early in the game (2220) and they have a different planet preference than my primary species. I was hoping to use them to colonize more plants in my systems. edit: Actually looking at them in the planet tab, it seems they have the same base growth as my primary species. Maybe I don't need to change anything about them. BigRoman fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Apr 7, 2024 |

Yeah it's only the Necrophage species trait that hammers your growth rates, Necroids (ie. using that portrait palette) are just normal pops.

They also reduced a few other things, like the amount of sources of ship cost and upkeep reduction. Plus a lot of things that give bonus science output also more increase the upkeep of researcher jobs.

This is a good change, by the way. Tech choices being meaningful is great and science rush was/probably still is one of the strongest strategies. I'm glad to see it nerfed even though I usually tech rush myself.

I mean, pretty sure the problem was that power creep had gotten to the point of disrupting the intended pace of tech development, where you should be getting the filler techs around endgame, and the research nerfs are just putting things back to their intended design.

Yami Fenrir posted:Do they? UI mods typically are, but namelists go in a subfolder of /common, so they affect the checksum and block achievements despite being cosmetic. (this could probably be easily changed if it was seen as a problem but IDK if there's been a lot of outcry about it and even if there was I'm sure it's at the literal bottom of the priority list).

They are changing some of their other games to allow achievements while modded, so it probably won't be too many more patches before Stellaris does as well.
