How do I delete the Blorg?

I know that there are fucktons of infinite system cheatmods but is there any mod that, like Only removes the influence cost of removing a system? Because I am sick of having to remove/Add systems all the time just because the AI is being lazy or retarded with development shit

Stop with the spiders already.

I'm having my first crack at making my own species for stellaris with pic related as my setup. Are these good options for an imperialist empire?
Also, I'm going for the generic Emperor/Empress title, but what should I call my heirs? Prince/Princess or something else? Also any empire name ideas? I'm thinking of Void Court at the moment.
Isaac Stewart
Is there any mod that add more shp classes without all the bloat and bullshit from the New ship classes mod
Andrew Wilson
They look interesting enough m8. Would personally drop fanatic purifiers for slaver guilds or mining guilds since imperialism isn't really about wiping stuff out but more exploiting them.
By the way, where's the ui color mod from? I like it
Aiden Richardson
Is there a no niggers mod yet?
Evan Torres
There is several european mods.
Owen Lewis
There are separate phenotype mods, so you can have a no niggers allowed empire, and an all nigger empire. You can even have kikes, kebabs, sandniggers, and gooks.
Jacob Ortiz
...
Ian Martin
>kikes ?
Owen Mitchell
Undiverse Humanity.
Gavin Jones
How about this then? Also the UI mod is called Dark UI, on the steam workshop.

Has anyone here tried this Northgard game? Just saw it while looking through the strategy releases on Steam. Looks kinda like settlers or something.
Juan Wood
Looks like a mix between Folk Tale and a very casual Dwarf Fortress.

Warp in Stellaris has no link to warp in Star Trek anyway.

I never understood xenophile/pacifist, like what do you even do, wait till you get raped by non-pussies?
Cooper Young
Ya, I liked it quite abit. They made 4 "houses" that fight between each other on a randomly generated map, there are unique map victory objectives and the normal conquer/tech/faith victory, pretty fun. if I remember correctly, they are making a 5th house as well, each of them has a different way to play, some have hilarious late game potential and some are based on early-mid game.
Zachary Watson
Play defensive and play tall instead of wide?
That's my plan, also having extra unity in a multi-specie ''''''empire'''''''' would make sense, no?
Jaxson Gomez
>he thinks that pacifist means being nonviolent Aren't you too young to be a on4chan? You need to be at least 18 years old.
Jaxson Price
You should at least drop talented. Fewer levels means less opportunities for leaders to gain a trait when levelling up.
Adrian Perry
Every AI Pacifist Xenophile I've seen always succeeds in finding allies and form federations. Actually makes them strong enough to defend themselves.
Anthony Robinson
Sounds interesting. Might give it a try, thanks.
Asher Adams
Leaders aren't suppose to be disposable? Idea was to constantly generate high-level leaders, pick wilting?
Nicholas Barnes
half the time they get eaten by a nearby fanatical purifier though
Christopher Nguyen
Using leaders as disposables can be bad due to how much influence they cost and your situation with influence fluctuates quite a lot. I'd pick anything honestly. Rapid Breeders probably the best pick.
Mason Hernandez
So, what would be more fitting to a peaceful/play tall empire? Also to plant people.
Julian Parker
>Rapid Breeders
Carson Jenkins
If I terraform a planet with a species that can be uplifted on it, will they die?
Isaac Thomas
>pacifists cant even wage offensive wars Instead of playing the game plays you, you just sit back and barely interact, like a cuck, also nice projecting.
Jose Peterson
>projecting this hard >not even denying the accusation about him being underage Lol.
Grayson Price
Pacifists can wage liberation wars, though, which are offensive wars. It just means you don't get the land and a new faction spawns aligned to you instead.
You don't even play the game, so stop commenting in its mechanics.
Cooper Sanchez
Playing fanatic purifier atm and I managed to survive long enough to pick an ascnesion perk.
Which one should I take? I know robots are better than biological fucks but having a species that wants to eradicate everyone else because they are impure.... i mean i cant just turn myself into a robot, it would disagree with that ideology?
Christopher Wilson
Not even sure if the game actually allows it
Evan Gonzalez
>robots are better than biological fucks Lol no.
Connor Mitchell
>biological being >get old and die >randomly get in heat and need to reproduce >meawhile, robot master race >doesn't get old >doesn't die >doesn't need to fap until his cum looks like water
Asher Parker
Am I the only one that wants more intricate galaxy generation for Stellaris? Like, choose exactly which empires will be features and where they will spawn, choose the locations of all the enclaves and unique systems like Sanctuary and Gargantua. I'd like to have control over that
Nicholas Wilson
I wouldn't be asking it otherwise.
Brody Barnes
That is an interesting thought, since xenophobes clearly hate synthetics once you create them, because there counted as a separate species.
Don't know how it would work through Ascension. Maybe the upgraded population becomes the primary one and it all goes well?
Carter Diaz
I think my drouds may be defective what do?
Ian Cruz
Only one way to find out, user.
Nathan Howard
Yes, terraforming removes all pops.
Dominic Sullivan
But muh birds.
Jason Ward
>kids talks without knowing >get BTFO'd so hard it doesn't even answer REKT
Andrew Evans
Well, anything else.
Also, is there any reason to be a democracy?
Hunter Watson
Looked it up on the paradog, seems like the primitives won't go anywhere
Hunter Price
>not even denying the accusation about him being a cuck
Lol.
So you end up with a swarm of small vassals that just sit ontop of their planet in a War and get curbstomped by some psionic madman that goes on a crusade.. And building tall takes easily 200 years to get going.
Landon Diaz
>I never played Stellaris but I like to talk like I did : The Post Embarassing!
Nathaniel Martinez
Mandates, if you're interested
Oliver Young
I mean, im sure the game allows you becoming a synth as a xenophobe, but it wouldnt make much sense and I would feel stupid doing it.
I mean cyborgs/synth give better bonuses than being able to genetical engineer a few traits in.
Ryan Collins
Literally have 0 hours in this game, what are mandates good for?
Landon Adams
Yes be a good little paracuck
Jason Lewis
>I mean cyborgs/synth give better bonuses than being able to genetical engineer a few traits in. Not a chance fancy pants.
Caleb Cruz
so Things I should do/Not do with sectors >not allow them to redevelop buildings to prevent them from fucking up a planets entire purpose in my empire >only give them a planet after I build the building on every tile Anything else?
Hudson Harris
I have never even seen this trait how do you get it?
Jayden Gutierrez
It's an uplifted species trait only
Tyler Carter
If you go that rout you unlock a bunch of new traits.
Genetics Engineering >>>>>>>> synth
Zachary Richardson
and the little brain symbol is the >tfw to intelligent trait?
Colton Perez
Useful for gaining "Influence", which is a quantified resource in Stellaris rather than a vague notion and is for non-democracies otherwise a difficult thing to acquire.
Nathaniel Peterson
>only useful if multiple species minmax
Oliver Torres
Erudite 20% to all research and leaders get +1 level
Jace Lopez
Never played Democracy myself(Dictator and Imperial cunt).
From what I read somewhere:
Democracies and Oligarchies get Mandates every time a new president is elected. Mandate is like a small mission available while the leader is in position. I.e. something like "Build X amount of mining/research stations", " Colonise X amount of planets", something of that sort. Once completed they reward you with Influence. There's no penalty for not completing them.
Also, Democracies and Oligarchies might have somewhat of an advantage against others because of elections. They don't have to wait for their leaders to die and the Empire-wide perks they receive are a lot more fluid.
Tyler Russell
What is good to minmax now? Technology and Unity?
Jordan Cruz
There is actually a trait that's literally callled "Intelligent" and it's a mortarboard, not a brain. The brain trait is "Erudite", is basically superintelligence, and you can only get it if you become a 1337 gene h4XX0r
Christopher Hernandez
Oligarchies don't get mandates, they get Agendas instead, which are a passive bonus.
Oligarches work by electing 1 of 4 leaders, each with a different mandate. There's no objective to complete like you do with a Mandate.
Kevin Ross
The game really need balance. >synth ascension is useless >megastructures are bad except habitats
Liam Walker
How do you manually install mods in 1.5? The old way doesnt seem to work anymore, they show up in the launcher but not ingame
Colton Campbell
>new content needs balancing
who would have thought
Xavier Collins
Yep, my bad, somehow was certain that Agendas were only for Dictatorial and Imperial authorities.
James Perry
The people who are supposed to play test it in QA for 300 hours?
Don't excuse paradox for being lazy.
Christian Harris
Oh fuck what do I pick?
Thomas Cook
yes, new content in any game ever has always been perfectly balanced
nothing has ever been overpowered or complete garbage
fucking moron
Christian Ward
So after talking out of your ass about pacifist, you decided to prove that you have no clue about how QA works? Nice. Epic. Much proof. Such stupid.
Julian Collins
