Yeah i like the amount of ships thanks and wouldn't mind even more actually, if the engine permitted it. Space Opera for me is Legend of the Galactic Heroes with fleets of thousands, which makes more sense to me considering the scale of space and planets, not some dinky 20 ships for a huge empire.

That would be really cool yeah, but I am happy with how Stellaris is doing it right now as well. really looking forward to the next update! Hopefully the update after that will be diplomacy and Federation focused since especially federations really needs an update.

I just migrated a few drones to the planet and some of the captured pops back to my secure planets last time i played Devouring Swarm, usually to their homeworld if I had captured it already so they could see home one last time before being systematically consumed by the swarm.

Nah they should go other route and increase fleetsize. Seriously, a small amount of ships in a game supposed to simulate giant space empires is one of the lamest things, together with "this massive city planet houses over a million souls!!" descriptions.

Devouring Swarm + Rapid Growth trait + Food Trait + Max food to pops + Growth Techs/buildings = Waiting for pops to grow is the last thing i need, i am up to almost 9+/month so one pop takes 11-12 months. Need to constantly hunt for more food though! Love the new system, much better and more fun than the old one.

Have anyone else tried to hand sectors over to the AI? I tried with a few of mine but it seems it doesn't do....anything? I have given it over 10k stockpiles and set it to Balanced.

Zane posted:They do well enough in my experience. They tend to build a balanced proportion of research, manufacturing, resources. But they don't seem to upgrade -- which may be the problem you're having? This sort of makes sense given how swingy the economy can be. But it definitely increases micromanagement. It was captured planets from enemies. At first I thought it was because I am a Devouring Swarm and the planets had loads of empty jobs and districts after eating everyone. But then I colonized a new planet in the same sector and now, a while later, 11 Scavenger pops, no buildings or districts built. I guess technicaly, the scavengers ARE working but uuuuh.

Seems I found out why my sector AI is bugged to hell as a hivemind! In the files, a normal empires city district is called district_city, while a hiveminds is called district_hive. Incidently, district_hive does not even exist in the sector AI focus weight file, so it basically do not even know it exists. Added the following code to it:code:
Edit: Yeah it seems that Scavenger Jobs just completly breaks the sector AI, it only checks for unemployed jobs: code:

Current game I ended up sandwitched between a friendly machine empire and a fanatic purifier with Glavius mod on. A few desperate wars and a defensive alliance or two later I was safe but had a fun problem: Due to the wars i had to industrialize a lot of my planets and ended up with to few rural planets, that lead to me eyeing my xeno-hateing neighbours with different eyes. A not-at-all quick or bloodless war later and hey! Turns out the British might have been on to something after all with the whole forcefully conquer and enslave entire cultures to fuel their empire! Ended up with 300-something slave-pops and have started to dump some of them on the market now. edit: Yes I COULD have terraformed my way out of my problem(And was doing) but this fixed 2 of my problems at the same time!

It's kinda funny reading that since one big complaint you heard often about the tile system was that overpopulation was no issue and there was no preassure from haveing a large population. Now when that happens, people complain that populations don't stop growing instead.

Ham Sandwiches posted:Uhh the one big complaint about the tile system was that the micro loving sucked and that planets would stop growing at 25 and then it was just tile shuffling. There can be more than one big complaint my man, and a quick cursory google search shows several on both SA and other sites complaining about it. It was not criticism on the guy, I just think its funny that it's such a "Doomed if you do, doomed if you don't" situation. I prefer the current system and would never wan't to go back to tiles though I would love if move individual pop migration disapear and you could only influence it, but then again I prefer more simulationist games where you just influence things over "macro" games where you do everything yourself and yes I hate the new sector system.

Goffer posted:Aren't overpopulated, crime filled, poorly managed hive worlds like, the staple of sci-fi fantasy worlds? Seems a bit of a easy way out to just expect them to move themselves. From a ingame perspective, it costs 100 energy credits to move a pop, is an unemployed homeless pop going to be able to raise and save that amount? This is how I would like it to be, with different ways to move the population. Like a free society might pay an upkeep to have a increased chance for pops to move, simulating grants and incentives to move, while an authoritarian one force pops to move but it costs upkeep, crime and stability since people generally don't take well to that.

Started up a game as egalitarians with syncretic species, and pop distribution is fine so far(200+ pops). Also colonized a desert and tundra planet with migration species and only they have been growing on them which was a nice suprise.

Since they increased the size that part don't bother me that much. What i want is to be able to just set a minimum "leave this amount of X in storage" value for resources and then let the sector AI just pull from the empire storages.

Started a new game in 2.2.6 as authorithan/xenophile/materialists bugs running on an oligarchy. Turns out every single empire is a varying degree of rear end in a top hat as well. 1 Devouring swarm, 3 fanatic purifiers and the rest is a lovely mix of slavers, conquerers and mega-capitalists. This with the improved war AI have led me to currently drowning in refuges from every single part of the galaxy, I am regularly raceing to get jobs and homes for everyone, even if they are lovely stratified economy worker class jobs, my economy is soaring due to the massive influx of pops but dear god the micro Once i get finished fixing a few planets then boom, 4-5 new refuges on another "done" planet to find a place to relocate to and then it starts all over again!

Some simple filters would be nice for the planet list, standard is everything of course, "warning" shows unemployment/lack of houseing and a last one for "free building slot". Makes it so i could stay in warning 90% of the time and only deal with the unemployment, but have the option for the other ones when needed.

I like haveing megastructures late, it extends the peaceful isolationist game by a lot and i definately have use for them. This last game I have been mostly at peace and takeing in refugees since everyone else is an rear end in a top hat. The game have been "Oh poo poo my worlds are filling up -> Oh poo poo my habitats are not keeping up -> Ringworld and ecumenapolis solving it" and getting them easier or earlier would kinda destroy the effort I had to actively make to get them. When I play aggressive games I have other ways to increase production and living space. Edit: Basically megastructures are a way for non-aggressive empires to grow internally, but they need to focus on getting them. Aggressive empires don't need them since they can just take everyones poo poo.

I mean, they helped me in my latest game by giving me a shiton of livingspace and jobs for the constant stream of refugees I got, when all my other worlds where literally full and habitats wheren't keeping up.

If you play a good nation in an rear end in a top hat galaxy then yes living space and jobs are real issues due to the giant hordes of refugees arriving. It does turbocharge your economy though! And it feels great when another batch arrives and you relocate them to a safe haven on your ringworld or a habitat, don't worry little guys you are safe here

Ran into the "locked world" bug in my Rogue Servitor game now. Was in a war against a huge fanatic purifier empire and sniped a world from them but had to fall back and rebuild my fleets, so I moved all the pops off the world and now it's still my world but empty and unuseable by anyone, it was a size 25 world as well edit: But at least its former brutal inhabitants can no longer cause any harm or strife, it's for their own good after all

The Bramble posted:I finally conceded my micromanagement duties to the sector AI and I'm never going back. I was quitting games because the slog of managing more than 6 or 7 planets was sapping the fun out of playing. Now I just throw them in a sector, make sure they have plenty of seed money, and close the tab on them in the outliner. The AI does a good job of making sure everyone is employed, and OK job on keeping them housed, and in general is definitely "good enough" at exploiting its resources that I can leave them alone. I do wish there was some kind of notice when the AI runs out of minerals and can't do anything, but it's not a big deal. I am managing 60+ in my game right now, as rogue servitors With the cybrex relic

Think of all the post-apocalypse mad-max worlds you're making! Seriously tho, shielding a habitat is pure evil.

Huh got outplayed by the AI for once. Only potential allies close to me joins in a federation with a dude who do not want me in it. Lost an early war against my aggresive neighbour since I was expecting an attack from the other side and my fleet was out of position from my bastion. Nevermind, only got humiliated. Ten years later, I am prepared and we attack, winning the war with a status quo, only loosing a bordersystem and taking 2 planets, including their homeworld, leaving them with 2. This, predictably, wrecks their economy and they are far weaker than me now. Ten years later, after the truce, they declare war. Me, thinking it was a desperation move, easily crush their offensive and occupies the third planet. Then I notice 2 fleets aproaching, equaling about 3x my total firepower They had invited their southern neighbour, who hates my guts due to opposing ethics and rivalry. Said AI have spent the game punching a determined exterminator and are solidly overwhelming to me. Now they have caught my fleet out of position and cut off from my bastion. Gonna be fun to try and turn this around
