/4xg/ - Stellaris, Civilization & 4X Strategy General

If you're collectivist enslaving conquered planets basically solves all unhappiness problems

>How do I get out of this?
Fallen empire?
Lube up.

There a way to make my starting world a death world?

So how long does the game last?
for example eu4 starts in 1444 and ends in 1821

>you will never be a cute trap race
>you will never be the vassals of a tentacle race that fills you

Feels bad man...

needed mods for the general

>ai fights crisis
>ai more aggressive
>more events
>more crisis
>planet cap modifier mod

etc etc

GENE POINTS

>Want to expand my species
>Colonize a new world that fits our preference
>Millions of space dindus immediately flee their worlds and come to mine, filling up all the space for my glorious cats

Every single time. I think I'm the most diverse empire in the game at this point.

Does slavery tolerance provide a bonus past 100%?

Because I can get 150% tolerance with fanatic collectivist divine mandate

Satellite galaxy DLC when?

Repostan from the last thread

Make it so that sectors are entirely optional, if you want full control of your empire, you should be able to do it.

Remove current 75% cap of sector output as well. Sectors will work at 100% efficiency and the only downside of them will be one that naturally arises from general AI incompetence.

Of course, unfucking current sector AI is a given.

Did I fix it yet?

Reminder to post your best/favorite empire builds so I can use them in the next round of AI research.

until you win or die i guess

WHERE DO I GET MORE GENE POINTS

Society research

>mfw i got it but have no use for it

Which ways would that be?

fanatic militarist collectivist empire

...

I have sentient AI and synths, nothing bad has happened yet aside from a few pop ups about synths going haywire and murdering people. What could possibly go wrong?

Is there a point at which it's reasonable to start making synths or the crisis scales with me?

...

google out :`)

Add racial traits, please.

>single player
>try to rush ai rogue tech to fuck shit up
>lolnope have warp drives instead
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

You have to have all the other droid techs to get it

I accidentally a species to a 10% habitability planet instead of the 90% habitability planet and I'm Individualist so I can't resettle them.

Can I console command the planet into a different type or something?

What's a good tactic for taking down a fallen empire when they outgun you? I apparently pissed one off by uplifting the irradiated cockroaches on a tomb world Earth and now they keep declaring war on me every 10 or so years just to humiliate me and give me -10% happiness.

Are those mods out yet or not?

>tfw completely steamrolling a fallen empire after they bugged me about placing colonies near their system
It's too late now stupid bug.

Autist on his first playthrough here

Is there anyway to refit ships? Everytime I get a new generation of weaponry or if I'm going into war I genuinely rebuild my fleet from the ground up

Surely i'm just a massive idiot, right?

The Steam workshop downloader doesn't work on Stellaris mods.

Put them in a sector.
Forget about their suffering.

>resorting to cheating
Either load a previous state, try genetic engineering so they like the environment or just terraform the planet, though that would kill everyone on it as well.

Yes the upgrade button. You change the specs of the ship class and then hit upgrade and it goes to the nearest starport and does so

How do you spec against fallen empires?

I went at their 25k stack with a 45k stack and go demolished. They killed me, and had about 14k remaining.

click on your fleet there is a button near the center that allows you to upgrade them

I'm having trouble getting off the ground. Shit like void clouds completely block my surveying and shit and I lose tons of ships when fighting them.

How do I deal with those fucking things and the damn amoebas?

You need to edit and overwrite a model that exists, I think, then click a button on your fleet with ship and +

Yes you are an idiot.
There is a button bottom left with a fleet selected to upgrade them.

There is a Reddit thread on ship optimization. Basically look at what their fleet is full of.

How do I make the borders on my planets grow.

NO

THOSE ARE THE HITLIST OF MODS WE NEED TO MAKE

just as grand strategy general has board made mods hopefully we can get some guys together to make our own HPM's and robmods as well

we also need to prepare a list of thread approved mods for the introduction thread

Alien bug/swarm race. Orks/Nids/Bugs from SST/etc.

Best racial traits?
Best nation shit?

Is it possible to have a 'swarm' of corvettes, cheap, numerous, etc?

Have more ships, obviously. Safety in numbers. Build corvettes to be about 500-700 strong and you can deal with most hazards without losses.

Don't use default ships. Use the tech upgrades and they're easy picking

Aren't you supposed to get unique technologies for fighting a Fallen Empire?

Have you got anything cool yet?

That's usually way larger than my total fleet capacity though

>weak as fuck nation with no resources, no military, and no technology
>join a federation to keep himself safe
>i attack him and take three of his planets without his federation doing anything to protect him
>i ignore him for a good 200 years
>the biggest of the three space nations in his federation has all but absorbed his entire space mass, leaving only a single planet for him

what a sucker

Oh my fucking god

I was making entirely new ship designs everytime a new generation of shit came out

Thanks guys

Why do I even play this game

I can't even terraform it. They'd only go up to 20% habitability if I did.
And I would just reload a save except I wasn't paying attention until a separatist movement started and I settled the place like 4 years ago. It's mostly Synths but boy do the organics hate it and me.

What was Shaaksa's decision?

I didn't mean 700 corvettes. I meant 700 in strenght rating. It's about 10 corvettes, I think. Well within one spaceport capacity.

Well we can steal fluff for planets from mass effect. They had good planet descriptions

White-only mod update when?

You don't have to deal with them at all. Just put your civilian ships to passive from evasive and micro some more.

...

>observe a primitive civilization become more advanced over time
>they finally learned how to split the atom
>they nuke themselves, turning their world into a Tomb World
>for shit and giggles I colonize it because I never colonized a Tomb World

>this happens

good luck

Are you sure its only 10? I remember a fleet of 12 giving like 300 strength or less

rate my first race :^)

I have piles of vassals, but they're not doing much. When setting war demands it never lets me just put annexation as it says my war score isn't high enough. Should I liberate planets and then get them to join my alliance?

Now that I conquered a ring world, I don't know what the fuck to do with it.

The FE I conquered was the fanatic xenophobe kind, and they're incredibly pissed at being conquered.

I'm contemplating purging them all and filling it up with filthy humies, and then dumping all of it into a sector to perpetually make me resources.

Androids truly are my greatest allies, just look at those research bonuses.

Frankly, I don't remember. Even 300 is sufficient in clearing most but the most dire neutrals.

>Fanatic Materialist
>"Holy"

Is slavery essential if you want to expand through war? The rebel factions last for ever no matter how much I bought their power down with money and influence. When I eventually ran out of resources they spawned a gigantic army that crushed my one that had conquered the planet before hand.

I didn't have any problems in my last game where I just enslaved them all.

>someone doesn't play as humans

You can already eliminate the sector mechanic by modding the core world count.

Then you smack head first into the shit that is the UI. Holy crap, it should be a study on how to royaly fuck up.

There should be:
-bulding menu be a right click "dropdown" of a matrix of the avalaible buildings, with the cursor defaulting ot the tiles native production building (so right click on energy tile->mosue starts on power plant), not a fucking scroilling list that fits 1/5 of the buildings, laways starts at teh top and has the most commonly used ones at the bottom.
-simple rightclick on blocker to start the removal (the fuck else can we do with it taht merrits the 3 click bullshit?)
-option to auto ubgrade buildings on planet (sans the main buipding ofc)
-planet+surface tabs combined so i can see how much pop there are, avaliable food, etc... while building
-option to one-click remove all blockers
-option to one-click autofill the native generating tiles with corresponding building (leaves the duo and empty tiles alone)

Those are just for the planet section off the top of my head. Dont even get me started on that abomination on the right hand side of the screen.

Turks also deserve a honorary mention, they have proven themselves capable members of the empire.

Holy Roman Empire m8.

Was none of the above.

I can't understand how paracuck could fuck up the ui so badly after the previous games.
>4 tabs for something that should fit in 1
>billions of clicks for micro-managing

white-only is easy to do yourself but if you'd like I can upload my 00_portraits.txt file with instructions on how to use it. It removes the human02 and human05 (mongols and niggers, respectively) from the human portrait selection, it's very aesthetic.

>alpha centauri
>barnard's star
Holy shit I'm right next to earth

>Turks took over the earth

killing myself now so i never see that day

Also names should be removed doe. How to do both names and portraits? A guide would be helpful

>liking fiction
>not playing Forklift Truck Simulator instead
kys

Wait I am earth

This isn't how the start is supposed to work

Have you had any notable playtroughs? Mine is about to turn into a space WW2.

I hope papa Adolfs ghost will be able to witness the galactic carnage

When will they give in for a "demand vassal" offer?
I have these bugs that kind like me, pahtetic compared to me, and they sit wiht their stinky 3 planets in the middle of 30, yet tehy still wont see the light. Do i have to war them?

You probably selected the Sol system at empire creation. There are two presets, Sol and Deneb. If you choose either of them you don't get a random star, it just makes Sol into your star.

Yeah, I've modified my namelist too. Would you prefer a guide or a set of pre-existing text files that give you european (and japanese because they're aesthetic) names and no niggers/no mongols? I can do either

Well I'd be fine with preset, but guide would be cool.

>(and japanese because they're aesthetic)
>no mongols

;^)

There ships just use the highest tech, the only benefit is if you have researched them already it's an easy way to get tachyon lances, phase disruptors and other high tech energy weapons.

Yeah, it's an easy command to use, just look it up.

too long for the event screen maybe

suppose it could be split into 2

I read it assuming that I went someone random and the Sol was elsewhere in the galaxy

I wanted to find out how the humans were doing :(

my onl yguess is that its the "groundwork" for DLC. Like with the blocker example: right now there is no reason fo an extra menus, but in a dlc, you might be able to tame dangerous wildlife, or make bioweapons from swamps.

Either way its bullshit

Sol always spawns. The preset option is just to determine whether you start with it or not.

It's a nice if you want to play regular humans, but otherwise it's pointless.
