I was actually surprised that the different Marauder clans on the map are all different species. The pre-release info we got about them gave me the impression that they were competing factions of the same race.

Traxis posted:The changes look good, but it's a shame I can't play until the UI mod gets updated because Paradox still thinks everyone games at 1024x768. The 1080p UI mod seems to have just been updated.

I think the Fallen Empire generation should probably be tweaked a bit so their borders follow the hyperlanes. They often spawn with some weird borders like this:

tithin posted:I've been watching some youtube / streams because i've not started playing yet, and is it just me, or do ships move a fuckload faster than they used to? Yes, they do. Ships now have to travel all the way across the system to the arrow leading to the next hyperlane in order to travel to that system, so in-system speed has been increased to compensate. This means that traveling inside a system is faster, but traveling across the galaxy is slower.

JerikTelorian posted:People on the subreddit were suggesting that you set the hyperlane density to 0.75 to encourage more chokepoints. The gap between the 1x setting and the 0.75x setting is way too large. With 1x, systems are generally well connected with a moderate amount of choke-points, but 0.75x turns the map into an endless maze of long, snaking corridors. The best way to get a larger amount of choke-points as it stands now is to use 1x hyperlane density, but on a 4-arm spiral galaxy VirtualStranger fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Feb 23, 2018 |

Here are a bunch of galaxy generation settings that I think should be in the game, but currently are not: Space Monsters (slider) [0x - 5x] - Adjust the frequency of Tiyanki, Space Amoebas, Crystalline Entities, Ancient Mining Drones, Void Clouds - If turned down to zero, also disables the Crystal, Mining Drone, and Pirate "home systems" Guardians (slider) [0 - 10] - Adjust the number of Guardian systems that spawn on the map. - "Guardians" includes the Ether Drake, Stellarite Devourer, Automated Dreadnought, Dimensional Horror, Spectral Wraith, Infinity Machine, Enigmatic Fortress, Hive Asteroid, Guardians of Zanaam, Sanctuary Ringworld Enclaves (toggle) [off / on] - Enable or disable the spawning of Trader, Curator, and Artisan Enclaves. Rare Resources (slider) [0x - 5x] - Adjust the spawn frequency of rare resources on the galaxy map. Homeworld Neighbor Systems (toggle) [off / on] - Every standard empire is guaranteed to have two systems near their homeworld that have planets of their ideal habitability class. This toggle would turn that off. Pre-sentients (slider) [0x - 5x] - Adjust the frequency of the anomaly that causes pre-sentients to spawn on a planet. Abandoned Megastructures (slider) [0x - 5x] - Adjust the number of abandoned Megastructures that spawn on the map. Hive Minds (toggle) [off / on] - Enable or Disable randomly-generated hive mind empires from spawning. If a player owns Utopia, but doesn't want any Hive Mind empires to spawn in that particular game. Machine Empires (toggle) [off / on] - Enable or disable randomly-generated machine empires from spawning. Same as above, but for Synthetic Dawn. Horde Crisis (toggle) [off / on] - Enable or disable the "Great Khan" Horde crisis from happening. War in Heaven (toggle) [off / on / multiple] - Enable or disable the "War in Heaven" crisis from happening. "Multiple" allows both to happen, if all 4 of the non-machine Fallen Empires exist on the map. End Game Crisis (toggle) [off / on / multiple] - Enable or disable the Prethoryn Scourge, Unbidden, and Contingency end-game crisis from happening. "Multiple" allows all three to all happen in the same game. And also some adjustments to some of the settings that already exist: Tech/Tradition Cost - Split these into two separate sliders so they can be adjusted individually. Fallen Empires - Fix this so that it actually spawns the number I tell it to. Several times I've set it all the way to 5 and it only spawns 3 or 4. Primitive Civilizations - Turning this down to zero should also prevent the Sanctuary Ringworld from spawning. Anything that I missed?

Roadie posted:I wish they'd revisit how Gestalt Consciousness/Hive Mind/Machine Intelligence works. I want the option of playing friendly xenophile hive minds that invite other species to live with them for companionship's sake (think like Rogue Servitor but less patronizing) as well as non-collective-consciousness robots who get into robo-slapfights about what to do with the rest of the universe. Reposting this from the last thread: VirtualStranger posted:There should be organic Hive Mind versions of the Driven Assimilators and Rogue Servitors.

One thing about Hive Minds and Machine Empires is that separating their species traits and their civics doesn't really make a lot of sense. Collective consciousnesses don't really have a "government" or "society", the specific way in which they function and organize themselves is determined entirely by their biology (for hives) or their design (for robots) For them, their species traits and their civics should really be the exact same thing.

lol the UNE humans that spawn when you play as the CoM use the wrong name list. Paradox forgot to change HUM3 to HUMAN1 in line 4106 of special_system_initializers.txt. HUM3 is an alien humanoid name list now.

Aethernet posted:I think gates were meant to be more common or the tech that lets you build them come sooner - certainly, I've never seen it. Is it locked behind mega-engineering? The "Gateway Construction" tech has two pre-requisites: Mega-Engineering and "Gateway Activation" Mega-Engineering only shows up in the late game. "Gateway Activation" is the tech that allows you to repair the abandoned gates found on the map. This tech will only appear once your science ships have discovered one of them. This means that if you have not discovered any of the abandoned gateways yourself, then you cannot build your own. (This also means that turning the Abandoned Gateways slider down to 0x effectively removes all gateways from the game entirely) VirtualStranger fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Feb 26, 2018 |

hobbesmaster posted: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. Locking Gaia terraforming behind an Ascension Perk was a very good move IMO, because back in 1.9, once the AI empires got into the very late stages of the game they would terraform literally every planet in the galaxy into Gaia Worlds.

I'm not really sure I understand why the Fanatic Purifier civic can't be added or removed after the game starts. Coudn't they just... stop wanting to kill everyone? Unless that particular species has a compulsive biological drive to murder every other species in the galaxy, in which case it should be a species trait, not a government civic. Edit: The same question also applies to Barbaric Despoilers as well.

The way that pop migration works should be changed, imo. As it currently stands, migration is something that multiple empires have to allow through a migration treaty, when really, migration should be something that just happens by default, and any government that doesn't want it to happen has to actively have to try to stop it.

Holy gently caress yes. Stellaris with a Victoria-esque POP system sounds incredible. The two biggest fundamental design flaws in this game were asymmetric FTL and the planet tile mechanic, and both of them will have been completely reworked.

Cliffhanger posted:"The tiles are annoying in their way but they also give a sense of place and geography to the planets. The unique resource distribution and shape makes the planets memorable and a PLACE." These are so incredibly wrong it's hilarious. The tile system makes every planet feel like a bland, empty container that you "fill up" with pops and then forget about.

"Chancellor, our engineering department has finished research and development on a new line of autonomous robots! These new machines are projected to increase our nation's industrial output by 20% compared to sapient organic workers!" "Excellent work. Tell them they may start mass production immediately, and begin fully automating our mining infrastructure." "Uhh, Chancellor, I'm afraid we cant do that. Our planets are out of empty tiles. We'll have to slaughter or forcibly displace all of the organic workers that are occupying those industrial buildings first." The tile system is loving dumb.

DamnDirtyCat posted:Coming back to Stellaris from about a year ago, it looks like a lot has changed. Is it still worth playing? I see a lot of negative reviews popping up, apparently about 2.0 being garbage. There were a few salty people who were mad after 2.0 came out because Paradox streamlined the FTL mechanics to hyperlanes-only, but that mostly died down after a week or two. Most of the recent bad reviews are from Chinese gamers review-bombing the game's steam page because a recent patch removed the (incomplete and unused) Chinese language localization files.

Personally, I think a good strategy is to split up your forces into "main fleets" full of bigger ships that you use to assault the enemy directly, and separate "scout fleets" full of corvettes that can get around the map very quickly.

I'm not sure I really like the new hyperlane generation system. This is with the slider turned all the way up. There are too many long, snaking gaps and systems that are right next to each other that aren't connected. Edit: loving hell, did imgur make their image compression even worse lately? That poo poo looks more .jpg artifacted than a boomer facebook meme.

If you turn the slider all the way to the maximum setting, then these giant, impassible walls shouldn't exist.

Since Paradox asked for suggestions on potential advisor voices on twitter, I really think that it would be much better if all of the voices were based on the AI Personalities, instead of Ethics. There should be one advisor voice for each AI personality in the game. The current ones should be renamed to the personality they most resemble, and then add more voices to fill in the rest. The current materialist voice is basically the "Erudite Explorer", the spiritualist one is "Spiritual Seeker", and the diplomat voice is "Federation Builder". So for example you could rename the spiritualist voice to "Spiritual Seeker" and then add a new voice for "Evangelizing Zealot".
