StrixNebulosa posted:As my trek towards birds dominance over the universe continues, I mull over the thought of a large, empty galaxy with like, one or two other species - or none! - How viable would that be? there's a mod called Fermi Paradox that allows for that. you can have the galaxy be empty or just populated by primitives that you can Probe til your heart's content. I don't know if it has been kept up to date with the latest patch tho.

that reminds me that I once googled why pigs aren't milked. turns out the main reason is that it is just too much trouble to milk a pig. they won't hold still. dreaming about a tall glass of creamy pigsmilk rn.

Wiz posted:One of the things I absolutely want to get into the game at some point is more of a sense of a galactic community, with a Space UN you could join or not join and with advantages and drawbacks for joining and not joining. that would be great. I think of the Uplift series of books by David Brin. the carbon-based galactic community in those books has a set of rules, mores that they follow and there are consequences if you don't play ball. there's still war, bad poo poo going down, but there are rules damnit.

here's a neat time lapse video of a Utopia game. the unbidden pop up towards the end and kill almost everyone, but a FE awakens and together with its allies purges the galaxy of invaders. a fun little potted space opera told through colors changing on a map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDntlTFcQag

I always feel guilty when I play bad guys in video games. my pacifist butterfly people made friends with the first aliens I met, a xenophile plant species. we've been spending all our time beating up the hateful bird people north of us, freeing the aliens that they conquered and enslaved. not exactly peaceful, but it's for a good cause.

GotLag posted:More dumb faction bullshit: if you're not materialist, you can't make synths full citizens. But if synths end up in your empire due to conquest/integration, then their lack of rights angers both egalitarian and xenophile factions. yeah, I ended up in the same situation. lots of people mad about enslaved synths but the only way I could ever free them was to turn all my people into synths, then they were freed automatically.

Overwhelming x 3 in the power rankings.

body pillows are lovely and all that but the main reason I'm not playing this right now is that war fighting is tedious and fighting wars is the thing you're probably going to be spending most of your time doing.

any "War" update needs to make the large scale conflicts you run into late game less fiddly and micro managed. I just had the war in heaven pop off and the state of the galaxy, with all these different factions of all types locked into this apocalyptic war, makes for a really dramatic set up for a grand Space Opera story. but I'm never going to go back and see how it turns out because I just will not subject myself to the kind of busywork I'd need to fight that war. so many gd planets to occupy.

rex monday posted:Xenomorph armies should be one-use. Once you infest the planet, they're a permanent problem for anyone who occupies it until you do a research project to exterminate them. yeah, you could have it be a project which you have to complete within a time limit or else have it turn into a Prethoryn style hell world which you have to purify.
