RECOMMEND GAMEPLAY MODS FOR STELLARIS

FUCK

youtube.com/watch?v=DnleA4IcC-o

5th for Distant Worlds and Aurora are the best 4x games and you should drop ES2 and/or Stellaris to go play them instead

Preach.

That's nice, but maybe kind user upload it to mega or something?

i think there was a mega link here, I downloaded it, but can't find it in my history

Did Stellaris get good or is it still a barebones game like it was on launch?

big guy stalin representin

HAK HAK HAK

Ill just wait...

THERE AREN'T ANY

well there's new ship classes but that's about it

ASS AND TITTIES

Guys, help me find a good filename for this.

Im sorry but Im not autistic enough.

I want to live in a science fiction world, guys.

arent we all?

Anyone else spend more time autistically planning Colonization in MSPaint than actually playing the game?

is that a Children of Atom random encounter recreated in the Source engine?

No?

No it's from a classic G-Mod series.
More specifically from this episode.

Given that in ES2, "visuals" actually set-up questline, Riftborn population building (but VoidAyys Ark system is tied with fraction trait instead), race specific techs and ships models and slots - what is, in your opinion, most powerful combination?

I tried making overpowered custom race with Horatio gene splicing trait and Void visuals, along with Riftborn +5 industry/gold/science production and +3 food on ferile planets. Funny enough, scout ship could "drain essense" in system despite race having no such mechanism on its own, due to lack of Ark system.

I just wonder if there are even more overpowered combinations, before Amplitude will rebalance aka nerf everything.

Distant Worlds really doesn't require that much autism tbqh

I've got something for you

I did NOT argue that it's perfect now, or at the release they were. It's just that ES2 will improve, but, for example, people are STILL angry about Stellaris's sector AI.

In es2 how exactly does trading work?
Each HQ traces route to each sub, but do overlapping paths add up? Does dropping all HQs at the tip of one galaxy arm and subs at tip of another arm generate the most income?

I think they add up, but I'm not sure between what things are trade routes formed.
>best company has 20 ships
>the rest has 14

>imblying Distant Worlds requires autism

Looks like for me.

Game before hours is beginning so get in, in about half an hour.

ours*

...

>DW
>autistic

bitch plz.

...

Is it possible get other empires to sell you their planets in Stellaris? I see the option, but none of the other empires will even consider it.

Wished this system was bigger.

Kurwa wybór patrycjusza.
Popieram.

...

At least you've got dust here, which can be used everywhere. Small industry systems are shite because they won't outperform bigger nor will contribute significantly to the empire, I always terraformed them.

Get in now. Our match is about to start.

COME ON HELL MARCH

are you the manager

we need less stellaris memes in our team, spread them out a little

There is no manager.

>autistic pirate happens
>attraction become spam

I agree but there was a poll with 32 votes.

>Player names are all shitty Stellarimemes

Thank God Wololo made it

This is what happens when they hold the name-deciding strawpoll a month before the game takes place.
MEMES CHANGE YOU NIGGERS

Has anyone tried rushing Super Biofuel Factory as Unfallen/Horatio and just terraforming for maximum food?

>burn your country
>sacrifice your own people by the millions >genocide the nazi assholes
>AND SOMEHOW I AM THE BAD GUY?

>Half-Life: Full Life Consequences

Man, talk about a blast from the past

I'll give you some thermal contact user.

FCUK

ARE YOU SERIOUS

FUCK

>believing in the Hyperlanes Only meme

No fucking way

>The futile attempt at a forced truce as your planet cracker orbits their Capital

>Genocide the nazis
>He's surprised he's the bad guy

60 years now since the first Synth sabotage event happened. They're still happening. They're still bombing my planets, they're still scuttling my spaceports.

WHEN DOES THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT EVENT END?

I crushed and wiped out the synth population from their Junction homeworld ages ago. Still not getting any way to stop this bullshit.

Why is youtube.com/watch?v=3tBqdKGiqnI not a goalhorn?

...

ES2 needs to add a warning for when ships come into orbit with ships you have guarded

>I hereby declare EXTERMINATUS upon this World

Fucking cravers leave me alone god damn

>Discover Earth years after they have nuked themselves
>Look at the planet's surface
>Find out Turkey somehow survived

what the hell is manlet cabbage

yet another stalearis meme

It's still completely barebones but the dev team is insistent that "mid game" is in a good state right now and anyone who thinks it isn't is a troll :^)

DAMMIT

HAK HAK HAK YOU LEGEND

HAK HAK HAK

>hak hak hak

HAK HAK HAK

YES FUCK YES HAK HAK HAK

>he doesn't believe in the manlet cabbage

Fucking stalin did nothing but FAIL holy kek

>this ruins the thread

They have a discord for it because it triggers some people.

and people wants to convince me that discord isn't cancer

We should win the next two games to be honest.

>do nothing
>somehow I'm the bad guy

It is a mystery.

Discord isn't cancer, Veeky Forums general discord channels are cancer.

That's like saying that skype is cancer.
It all depends on the people who post on it.

/agdg/ is srs bsns

Are reinforcements a thing or do I need to run?

Run

heros cant be pernamently killed
but you should run

Go shit up a different general you fucking weeb.

And here I wanted to be a smartass and reinfoce in the nick of time. Guess regrouping is in order

>Primitive XCOM

Your ships can drain essence because the Vodyani scout ship basic design starts with an essence module. While it gets replaced on the colonizer, it stays on other base designs.

We are if you think how our world would look to those natives living out in the Amazon.
