I realize the scripts say differently but I'm pretty sure that the incomplete terraforming event has a 100% chance of turning your world into an ammonia planet. edit: save scumming: ammonia, ammonia, ammonia, invasion, gaia. huh I guess it is possible!

Spanish Matlock posted:Hey so the Galactic Nomads decided to set up shop on one of my planets. That's pretty cool, but as soon as they did, their new empire got absorbed into mine. I think that's cool, but it did give me a real dire message about how their nascent empire had been wiped from the galaxy. That seems a little extreme for my new bird buddies, who all seemed more or less stoked to be a member of the space dragon empire. The best is when the new empire rolls fanatic purifiers. Gee wonder why you got kicked out of the fleet.

Isn’t there a way to rename systems? Also how is everyone using starbases? The economy possible on one looks pretty solid, I had a colony in a nebula and built trading posts and the mineral building. 24 energy and 6 minerals didn’t seem half bad, though not particularly efficient from a minerals standpoint.

Magil Zeal posted:The penalties for settling planets feel a little harsh. I feel as though I should be rushing to colonize every planet I can in a 4X game, not cringing slightly whenever I built a colony ship. I know it's probably good in the long run but ugh it doesn't feel good at all. It feels like each colony is a much more serious investment, at least in the beginning. I kinda like it, for the moment at least.

^^^ have steam check your install integrity and disable all mods? That looks like a generic “can’t load” object so your instal might be hosedMagil Zeal posted:It does make small planets a lot less attractive than they already were though (which I have never liked very much). I've been trying out the new Mastery of Nature and can't say I'm impressed as of yet. The 100 Influence cost of the edict is killer, Influence is precious and hard to accumulate. Got more use out of the tile-clearing discount early on but now I'm rolling in energy and basically any energy cost is irrelevant. Agreeing about mastery of nature. It needs to give 3 tiles all the way up to size 20 or something. (Maybe even 22) Kinda disappointed I only got 1 tile on my capital.

Hit the upgrade button, you have 0 destroyers matching the new design so 0 is “correct”. I agree that this part of the fleet designer is really confusing.

Staltran posted:I was really surprised you only get the full 3 tiles if the planet is size 12. I think only 13,14,15 give you +2, too? Seems pretty weak, but on the other hand if tradition cost increases from systems and planets stacking multiplicatively is WAD I can sorta see leaving most systems empty and just dealing with the pirates as they spawn becoming the meta? That would make influence less valuable so you'd get more out of Mastery of Nature. I haven't seen it yet but I saw people complaining that they were getting their stuff blown up by the raiders when the raiders were on their way to another empire through their space. If they're going to go through your space to a rival there should be an option to stay out of their way, possibly with a low cost tribute.

Kaza42 posted:War exhaustion is ridiculous right now. I was playing as a dominant power rolling over a mid-sized empire to vassalize it. I never lost a single ship, and the closest fight was something like 3:1 in my favor. And yet I still got forced into a white peace due to war exhaustion before I could complete the wargoal. I'm playing a machine empire, I don't *want* to conquer their land and why are my robots getting tired of war anyway? Seriously gain could be 10% of what it is and it'd be a solid mechanic. I think its a fine mechanic but the gain needs to be dramatically reduced. Or there needs to be more modifiers on it. And exterminators/purifiers/devouring hives should not be able to force a status quo that results in your colonies being purged. Give a penalty or something but against these foes you should be able to fight to the last if you really want. Better to die in battle than be eaten by some giant plant.

Magil Zeal posted:Looks like it's always optimal to specialize starbases, like if you build an Offworld Trading Company you want every module to be a Trading Hub, if you build a Logistics office they should all be Anchorages, and if you build a Fleet Academy they should all be Shipyards. Prolly not saying anything anybody doesn't already know but it's something I do appreciate in the expansion because I've always liked specialization and it feels natural and more meaningful than the old approach to starports. What I'm not getting yet is if its ever worth it to put more batteries/hangars on a station instead of whatever? Doesn't seem like a good tradeoff for what you get?

I just got the self modified event chain. When everyone flipped over to xenophobe/militarist their happiness all cratered instantly turning a nice happy 0 unrest core planet into a 140 unrest planet.  Guess its time to endorse some american style egalitarianism by declaring martial law and setting up a deep space black site and paving over some labs with strongholds.

Zore posted:Yeah, I'm rolling around with a Titan and it can one shot any star fortress up to 7.7k fleet power or so before any of my other ships gets in range. You probably want to upgrade to neutron torpedos or w/e they're called - they're to lasers like kinetic artillery is to kinetics. Glancing through other forums it appears that the only evolving "meta" is that cruisers are bad - they're large enough to be consistently hit by L weapons and don't have enough hit points. L mount destroyers and torpedo corvettes are hitting way above their mineral cost right now.

Blorange posted:Wiz, be very careful about applying this to the defending empire. An empire losing a war against determined exterminators doesn't necessarily have the option to surrender and cut their losses. At a certain point your economy will be wrecked so badly you can do nothing but desperately cling on. Losing influence and unit makes sense here at least. Defense wars need a bonus to war weariness or something though. Or at least it needs to be able to go down after a decisive victory? Or maybe you can always liberate your own planets with a CB even if pacifist?

Anyone else a bit disappointed with the Gaian creation perk? It takes so long (same as before, was always too long) and doesn't improve things THAT much compared to teraforming to the correct habitability or gene modding. I feel like taking the ascension perk and becoming master terraformers it should take the same time as the other options.

It’s more that you get 100 tiles for 110k minerals when you could’ve had more tiles in habitats for the same cost. The advantage to the ring world is lesser penalties and mineral production which is pretty meh

Its pops had a 1.5% production penalty from decadence when I first inspected them, but a decade later that hasn't changed. I believe its based partly on them actually doing something. ie conquering. Alternatively maybe they found the "Straighten up" button.
