I just bought this game on sale, is there a decent guide to not sucking at it?Lum_ posted:National Emblem Pack - By Swiss Knight, now you can have all your drat hammers, sickles, and other national symbols.

I haven't even played a game yet and I've already made a lovely mod: Homeworld emblem pack. Gotta have me my Hiigarans.

Why are flag emblems gold, and not user-colourable? This is confusing and angering me.

Is there any clue as to roughly when to expect 1.5? I've just bought this game and it's a bit daunting as I don't know where to start, and I'm wondering if I should wait for 1.5 as it sounds like it will change a lot.

The impression one gets of the Imperium is that it is fanatical in all things it does. Is it possible to be fanatical in multiple disciplines through mods?

Okay so I've finally got the time to sit down and start playing this game, and oh god where do I begin? What's the easiest way for a complete beginner at 4x to get started? I'd go with the UN but I've heard that missiles suck rear end, and if I'm going to edit that then it's really tempting to fiddle with all the other settings too.

Wiz posted:No. Only habitable worlds, plus some barren worlds (like Mars) in Banks. Stellaris galaxies are really too large for everything to be colonizeable. In that case I hope border pressure upgrades go a long way, because I've got a sea of stars with delicious resources but no habitable planets, and I can only afford so many frontier outposts  Edit: is there some long-running joke behind parrots having fishbowls or was that simply a product of dev whimsy?

Hey my parrots are still wearing the space suits, but the helmet is a new, deployable version. I can't find the pictures you're talking about, but I suspect the parrot's helmet is to stop it pecking the poo poo out of everything in reach. Also why don't space snapping-turtles get clothes?

Some dumbshit AI race on the other side of a galaxy got in a single-system independence war that never ends, and because of that horseshit I can't exit my defense treaties with one political bloc, which then entered a general war with the other bloc. How the gently caress do I get out of this stupid loving war? Why can't I tell my idiot partners to gently caress off and that no, I won't help their retarded fight?

How does wormhole travel play? I played my first game with warp, felt a bit unfocused so I made a new map with hyperlanes only, which is a blast, and I'm curious as to how wormholes work. Is it like a hyperlane network you build for yourself?

Well that was annoying. My federation decided we should all go to war with my rival and make them my vassal, so what the hell, I vote yes. We win, they're my bitch now, but the new vassal still has the "closed borders" malus, the option to open borders shows all green ticks on mouse-over, but is greyed out. And then later when the two fallen empires awaken and my long-term cold-war rival suddenly drops that and joins my non-aligned federation, I can't turn off closed borders for them either, so they've still got the malus and I can't switch it off, but I can pass through their territory.

Sorry, I don't have time right now as I have to get ready for work, but it sounds like this post I found when I was googling for it earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stellaris/comments/5fptcc/vassals_and_closed_border_dip_debuff/ I can't remember if they were actually my rival or I'd merely closed them off before the war, but after they were turned into vassal via victory condition, the button to open borders was greyed out (but the tooltip conditions were all met). Oh god I played your game all night

I don't want to do that These guys are the liberated portion of the annoying racist religious starfish who'd been my rival since game start, and my federation pals and I just finished carving them up. Speaking of, when you liberate systems(s), the newly-formed governments have the ethos of the liberator, but the populace does not. Is there a pacifism-compatible way of changing this, even if it takes a while?

Is there any way to see how far along my protectorate is to becoming a vassal? These dudes have been sitting in their corner masturbating for decades, I just want to loving integrate them already so I can clear up a couple of frontier posts. Edit: I think some techs to decrease the influence cost of frontier stations would be interesting. Make them cheaper but also make the AI preferentially target them in war.

I find it frustrating that the Charismatic and Repugnant traits link together the diplomatic and planetary happiness bonus/malus. I want to make a race that are marvellous to behold but then once you accede to their migration treaty request they move in and poo poo up your planets and make all your existing inhabitants miserable.

With the Blorg you can see the problem coming. My space parrots are magnificent to behold. It's only when your planet is covered in bird poo poo and they've taken everything apart to see how it works that you realise you've made a mistake. Edit: is there a better worse combo than Repugnant, Nomadic, Rapid Breeders, Adaptive and Deviants? GotLag fucked around with this message at 10:19 on Feb 20, 2017 |

I started a new game with fanatic materialist xenophile parrots. Two jumps from my starting system is a ruined ringworld with a curator station, and half a dozen jumps from that is a fanatic xenophile fallen empire who have given me a research boost. I'm also on the edge of the galaxy and the hyper lane layout gives me clear room to expand along the rim with only a couple of frontier stations needed to keep out the riff-raff. I think the game wants me to win.
