Big List O' Mods! All of these mods work with the current version, though they may flag as being outdated. Total Conversions Star Trek: New Horizons - turns Stellaris into a Star Trek grand strategy game. Many game systems are changed, and by default you play in an 'accurate' galaxy map (Earth is near the Vulcans, the Borg are eating their half of the map, etc.) With the current version you can start as Enterprise-era United Earth and form the Federation through events dynamically. Includes pretty much everything you'd think of in a Star Trek game. Eve Online: Horizons - turns Stellaris into a grand strategy version of Eve. Includes all the faction ships and all those fiddly components you remember. Mittens not included. Star Wars: A Galaxy Divided - turns Stellaris into Stellaris Of The Old Republic (aka Star Wars but thousands of years before the movies) Big Ol Gameplay Mods Alphamod - probably the most popular "moah stuff" mod Combo Modpack - "Lum_, I don't like installing mods and worrying if they still work!" Install this one. It adds a ton of stuff (including most of the ones below) and in some cases the compiler fixes them so they work together/are updated. New Stuff To Break Your Game Fallen Empires Expanded - not enough ancient empires to push your face in? Add more! With new types including everyone's favorite antagonists the Humans. Also with the option for YOU to start on completely overpowered initial setups like ringworlds so you can compete. Stellaris Zero - really ambitious attempt to add factions and politics because I guess the author just couldn't wait for the upcoming 1.5 patch. It makes games amusingly broken with every empire fracturing into squabbling single-world principalities, but that may be your thing! Networked AI - another "I CAN'T WAIT FOR A 1.5 FEATURE!!1!" mod, this adds playable robots as a race. Purge the flesh, meatbags. No Clustered Starts - tired of starting next to slavering militarists curbstomping you just when you get your first colony out? This mod enforces a nice distance between everyone. Note: have clustered starts ON when this mod is active to use; I know that makes no sense but that's how it works! Call of Cthulhu and associated additions - did you REALLY like Horizon Signal? Now the entire galaxy can sing to you the forbidden songs of space. Not responsible for failed SAN checks (yes, it adds those) Enhanced AI - my guess is it enhances the AI! Not sure if it really does, or if it's just a placebo! Gods and Guardians - lets you really toy with primitive species. Make them worship you! Drop those monoliths from 2001 on them! Have them work as slaves! Or just, I dunno, be benevolent (don't do this) LEX (Leviathans Extended) - three new Leviathans so you can have more space dragons to kill. User Interface/Graphics Improvements Blue Theme - I like blue. Do you like blue? You should try it, then. UI Overhaul 1080p - if you have 1920x1080 or better this makes windows larger so you don't scroll as much. Better Looking Humans - because the default Human portraits are kinda lame goons.mod (these are actually good, btw) National Emblem Pack - By Swiss Knight, now you can have all your drat hammers, sickles, and other national symbols. (No swastikas because ) Hasnt been updated in forever but still works fine because it's just a bunch of images. Ofaloaf's Victorian Portraits - because if you don't like your space otters wearing 17th century French uniforms, you are a bad person and you should feel bad. Stellar Expansion - a "moah stuff" mod like Alphamod, but better thought out and more modular Cheats... er... Game System Improvements Multiple Crisis - use if you think the Unbidden never say "hm, the Prethoryn were here already, let's just skip the whole ripping apart space and time thing" Flexible Core Planet Cap - use if you hate sectors/love micromanagement Auto Build and Improve Buildings - hate micromanagement? have the computer do it for you! Includes a core cap limit, and combining the two is pretty much 100% cheating. Advanced Ship Behavior Modules - allows you to specify exactly the range of your ships to engage. I mean, come on, it's not like you don't KNOW the range of your lasers. Auto-Survey At Start "I don't WANNA wait until halfway into the game to not babysit my exploration ships!" Install this mod, bam, done. Lum_ fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Jan 20, 2017 |

Deltasquid posted:In Galactic Civilizations, you slap transport modules on ships, and when they take off from a planet, you can choose to load them up with population from your planet as soldiers. Considering that GalCiv is basically a playground for its designer's hilariously far-right conservative world view (its economic model actively punishes you for collecting taxes) the ability to draft 100% of your population does not surprise me in the slightest.

Swedish Horror posted:Haven't played with mods in Stellaris before, guess I'm gonna have to give it a shot. Are all the alphamod submods worth getting? Don't start with Alphamods, it adds WAY TOO MUCH unless you just want All The Things(tm) in your game and IMHO the balance is really badly thought out. There's an alternative listed in my list in the OP that is a better overhaul, but if you really want to shake up the game try the Star Trek total conversion - the changes in that one actually make some sort of sense.

Soup du Journey posted:So how do you buckaroos like to use Planetary Survey Corps? Do you make a beeline for it, or do you first pick up stuff from expansion/prosperity? When you do get PCS, how many science ships do you like to run with? 2? 3? 4? More? Running with 4 or more science ships and PSC is effectively the same as typing a cheat code; you'll quickly far outpace every other nation in the game in technology as long as you have a decent enough base (ie don't bother picking it as one of your first choices while you only have 6 or 7 points in a science field). It's a bit fun but obviously is an unintended consequence that will be nerfed quickly.

ulmont posted:Why not pick it up first - it gives a 1/3 bonus and the net effect can't (other than letting you plow through some of the projects that cost science) more than double your research speed? Because I play on small maps for my own sanity and you run out of stars to explore fairly quickly. More bang for the bug getting out science stations in the early stages IMHO.

Doesn't SEV not actually run on modern Windows or something? Of course SOTS1 also managed to nuke itself this year and eliminate everyone's CD keys when the one poor QA guy at Paradox tasked with maintaining it had to push out an update. He was pretty open about it on the Steam boards too. "Yeah, no one knows how to get a hold of the developers, so I'm kinda flying blind here."

So finally dove into the new Star Trek mod version as Borg. Playstyle is very Borg - you can't colonize. At all. But if you land troops on a planet, they will assimilate the inhabitants and the planet will flip to your full control immediately. You only get Unity through assimilating new species, and they cap quickly. You can build "unicomplex" super-habitats (10K minerals for the first wing, then 5K for up to 4 new wings) and start with one but drones have a 90% growth malus. Genetic engineering techs and a unicomplex-only "maturation chamber" building will help to address this, but basically you're a plague of locusts and have to expand or die. Luckily your ships are VERY good (lots of regeneration makes them very hard to kill) if expensive and slow to build. I had assimilated a good part of the Delta quadrant and much of the Gamma quadrant (what do Borg Founders look like, anyway?) and was eyeballing an end-game trudge into the Klingons and Cardassians (the major powers of the Alpha quadrant) when all of a sudden the Borg Civil War crisis hit and randomly shat out 100K fleets all over my space when I had one fleet of 80K diamonds and 3 50K cubes (which maxed out my ~500 or so fleet cap) Well, guess that was a good game. (The mod message board mentions that there's an end-game superproject to build a Mega-Cube that is so ridiculously powerful it buffer overruns the AI's evaluation of your military power and makes the entire galaxy declare war on you because they think you have a fleet of 0.)

November 2, 2017 is a day I will always remember. It was the day I became cynical, bitter, and distraught. You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the business practices of a single video game company, but let me explain what all of this means to me. My life was thrown off balance and I never regained my footing after that day, because I lost my ability to respect. An essential part of being human is to feel respect for those who may or may not be deserving of it. But it is equally human to feel painful disillusionment when someone or something you respected turns out to be much less than you thought. But the level of betrayal I felt when Paradox announced the new plan for FTL in Stellaris tore something from me that I'll never be able to recover. They tore away my ability to respect anything, and they tore away my ability to feel human. Paradox Interactive was a company I respected, and their employees were people I looked up to. Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Victoria, and Hearts of Iron were all quality game series that combined historical accuracy with sandbox game worlds. These games may have been cartoony and humorous at times, but deep down they were always realistic and crafted with a level of detail and skill that won appreciation from gamers all across the internet. Stellaris was their newest release, and the internet was in unanimous agreement that it was of unparallelled quality. Following it's long awaited release, Paradox began releasing quality DLC that raised the bar ever higher for Grand Strategy Games. Then the FTL changes for Cherryh were announced. This was not just an announcement of a DLC feature, it was announcement of Paradox Interactive's suicide. It was a change intended to completely disregard any scientific accuracy, and instead shock the entire world with its lunacy. Paradox Interactive had gone off the deep end and raised the middle finger to everybody who stayed loyal to them. They had announced that they didn't care anymore, that they didn't care for their community, and they were going to go out of their way to sabotage everything they had spent years creating. The pain I felt from this betrayal has destroyed me on an emotional level, and has deprived me of my primary source of entertainment. No longer can I play Grand Strategy games without remembering the day I ceased mattering to people I devoted myself to. Paradox had not just destroyed me or their company, they had destroyed the one force of stability in the world: Trust.
