I picked the game up in the humble bundle and I've yet to play it because I can't decide what kind of empire to play. Hell, just picking an appearance is hard, especially since the Peacocks have joined the competition with the Geckos, Snailiens, Chirpy (those magnificent eyebrows!), and a few other outliers. Minor Nitpick: If you wanted to be accurate to real peafowl, only the males should have such resplendent appearances, the peahens should be more simpler. Actually I've noticed a lot of the various species/portraitists lack any kind of sexual dimorphism. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 00:18 on May 10, 2017 |

So I edited my user_empire_designs.txt file to add in some races people had made and now nothing is showing up in game. Deleting the new entries still shows nothing. There go the handful of empires I made myself (well, I guess I can just slowly remake them by hand). Did I do something wrong? IS there an easy way to add people's empires from a pastebin without slowly manually entering poo poo? [edit] Figured it out. Apparently you can't use just any text editor to edit the .txt files, you have to use ones that won't mess with encoding or something like that. Notepad++ worked.

I'm really surprised no one has done a set of Apes (as in Planet of The) portraits for Stellaris. It'd be a perfect use for Syncretic Evolution.

Yadoppsi posted:I know if you take the Syncretic Evolution civic and start on Earth your proles will be Neo-Chimps as if the Humans won in Planet of the Apes; has anyone seen primitive Earths with that? Can it even work since pre-FTL civs usually have custom civics? I was genuinely surprised when I saw there was no classic movies style Ape portraits on the workshop after noticing the syncretic option.

It's obviously not the same thing but I'm pretty sure you can create new custom starting systems by editing/creating files.

Midnight Voyager posted:This is a thing I swear people say every 20 pages, but that is inaccurate. They said something about how if they had a chance to do it over again, they would just have hyperlanes and that the three types of basic travel were a mistake, but they're not going to cut out two entire types of travel because it wouldn't be fair to players. Yeah, that makes sense, it did seem like a dumb rumor. Roobanguy posted:no point in taking out other travel options when you can already set the game to hyperlane only. kinda wish you could also turn off jump jets though. Agreed. And there is probably a mod out there that kills jump drives.

Alright new DLC is out! Time to finally get in a decent game of Stella- Uhhh, hmmm what do I want to play as?  Try a new machine empire? See if Authoritarian Dickwadism is good now? Or maybe instead.... Arrrgghhh, this happens every time!

What kind of game/galaxy settings do people like to play? So far my first game feels veeery empty. Would've thought I'd run into someone by now, but just a few pirates, space fauna, and some artisans in a space station.

Dude, what the gently caress!  I thought we were FRIENDS, Emata! You just loving cockblocked me big time! Your space isn't even connected to that poo poo and there aren't even any inhabitable worlds in that area (just the creepy space orb floating next to a blackhole). Whhhhhyyyy?! Can I tell them to dismantle this outpost or give it to me somehow? I'd rather not get into a war with a fellow representative democracy, especially when I've got the religious Zealots pushing in on my territory. I reaaallly want that outpost out of my way though... Damnit Emata  [edit] What a bummer note to end the night on. I guess ensuring I get that link between arms instead of the Pirazean is even more important now... [edit2] They just built a second outpost up there in a neighboring system and pushed me out of a system where I had a few mining stations active (which apparently just go poof?). You're pissing me off Emata, damnit. Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Sep 22, 2017 |

Strudel Man posted:Man, the degree of cheating from the AI is kind of frustrating. You ever tag over in the midgame to compare an AI empire's nominal income compared to actual? It's ridiculous. Unfortunately AI cheating is a staple of the 4X genre because making an AI that can compete with skilled players is incredibly difficult if not nearly impossible. The easier difficulties have less cheating.

Dramicus posted:The generic machine interaction with organic pops seems great. They all get plugged into the matrix and give you an instant 6 energy per pop. I took 2 planets in one war and went from +15 energy to something like +165. Granted they were big, populated worlds. It almost felt like cheating. Its a limited resource, you're not just plugging them in as Matrix Batteries, the process is fatal.

I was talking with someone on an unrelated Discord about Stellaris and comparing it to CK2 and EU4. To cut to the point, we both agreed that it would be neat if there was an (optional) "canon" Stellaris Galaxy. A preset map with preset empires (who don't all necessarily start with just their homeworld, and start at varying levels of development), and perhaps a set of bookmarks that span the galaxy changing over the centuries similar to the historical bookmarks in CK2 and EU4 (perhaps they could even pass thousands of years ahead into a second "cycle" after an end-game crisis destroys galactic civilization leaving only a few fallen empires and some scattered tombworlds that were once the capital of major empires). It'd be neat to get a bit more of a feel of "history" and setting, but its a pretty ambitious idea. Not sure I'd actually play on it super often though.

One day C# Aurora will be out. One day. Speaking of days, its far too many until this expansion is out! Its funny but Paradox (the publishers) are doing the three games coming up in the next few months I'm looking forward to, Apocalypse, Battletech, and Surviving Mars (though I'm starting to cool on surviving mars based on streams).
