Waiting for endless Space 2 to go on sale.

Fuck you.

...

...

How dare you do something reasonable like that.

I'm guessing it will probably be 30 bucks again during the steam autumn sale. It might go to 33% off, but likely not.

>Bio-Weapons and Anti-Machine weapons when?
WMDs are bad.
>Plastic-Eating Fungus and Metal-Eating Bacteria exist already IRL
Why go that far? EMP is much faster.

If it works, it might be the solution to this "seventh continent" I heard of, the one made out of all kind of plastic garbage.

I got ES1 for 1 yuro and EL with all Expansions for 17 Yuro.
I'm poor so I'm waiting.

>Synthetic Dawn released yesterday
>Our guy RezMar still hasn't uploaded the goods

ILL OMEN

>Why go that far? EMP is much faster.

Because Fungi and Bacteria are unstoppable.
The Chernobyl plant is filled with Fungi using radiation for energy like plants use sunlight, but instead of chlorophyll they use melanin DAS RIGHT, WE WUZ FUNGUS.

I have tons of hours in EL and still haven't played over half the factions. Feels pretty good.

How good is this?

>Fanatic militarist, authoritarian
>Industrious, Thrifty, decadent, sedentary
>Mining guilds, nationalistic zeal
>Tundra planet, warp and mass drivers

I want to fight and annex.

reading through the paradox forums right now has got me thinking, is there any game developer with a more cultish fanbase?

>Because Fungi and Bacteria are unstoppable.
Which would make them bad for a weapon. You want control, you want failsafes and you want an easy method to colonize the planet after the weapon was used.

EMP is great because it disables everything electric but its completely safe after usage.

Missiles were buffed considerably in this new patch. I haven't tried them yet but I think they're going to work better.

Yes

Just CreamAPI.

Does anyone know how to delete some stellaris Techs? So they don't show in the research pool at all.

Just buy if you can't wait, you fucking retard.

I dont think you can. You always have 3 base cards plus 1 for technocracy and some tech plus whatever you salvaged.

fucking definitely

Just mod it and remove the techs from the files, m8, it ain't that hard.

Alright, so if I delete them it won't break while trying to search for them or anything right? Mostly pissing me off because this garbage keeps giving me fighter upgrades in the engineering pool and I don't even research fucking fighters, not even the starting tech.

name one (1)

Starbound

That means you prolly salvaged it. You dont lose anything because the base cards are still drawn at random. Only salvaged ones remain.

So what does a late game fleet looks like in ES2? Not sure if small ships can still have some use there

Does anyone know if there are keysites that sell Synthetic dawn for like a dollar cheaper?

>general is already slow again

>cards are drawn
>drawed
>draw...
>?

Something along those lines (cant remember the fucking verb).

Was the "talented" trait nerfed or does it still offer one extra star?

I'm not an expert but my late game war fleets were pretty much all cruisers and carrier/battleships. I still used small ships in my empire, but just as little border defenders because they were cheap. I also made my siege fleets with small support ships with siege modules and escorting patrol crafts. Their cheapness and ability to be cranked out in a single turn had an appeal.

How do species of the same kind work with recognising each other in stellaris?

If I have two empires of the same species name in the same game do they recognise each other as "siblings"?
Do they need to have the same phenotype too?
Do they need to have the same species' traits?

Today I learnt something
Don't fucking complete Synth Ascension until you know what Crisis you are getting
Because the Robot Crisis will Starve you of minerals and power and make you useless
It is literally a no-win scenario because you have to rely solely on the AI's retardation and cant even participate in the fights to get potential research loot

>Not playing with all crisis on.

I am
I had the Scourge and Robots come at basically the exact same time

I'm not sure. I only know that the Commonwealth and the earth-humans recognize each other.

>organic or otherwise

So paradox made it so the AI is hostile to machine empires, but made it so that machine empires can't do anything to fight them? 10/10 design.

He's busy with irl stuff he won't be uploading for a while

I think I've checked same phenotype/different traits too. Not 100% sure though.

If they have the same species name and traits the'll recognize each other as being from the same species.
I think if they later develop different traits they can know that they are from a subspecies of the same origin.

Their dialogue also detects if they're from the same phenotype or a different one regardless of species name and trait.

yep, all your ascended synths have like a 70 or 80 percent Negative Resource Gain, meaning If you had not stocked up to the limit on resources and ready to deal with it quickly you are fucked

This can't be real.

I played United Empire, Sophonts, Lumeris and Cravers in ES2, who should I try next? Really didn't like Cravers, the others were good though.

No fucking way

it is.
I hope its just a fuckup on paradox's part because this is fucking horrible

>Synthetic centered expansion and new AI crisis
>It literally fucks you up if you go machine

Is that even a question

Vodyani are very different, but if you don't like warfare and combat then maybe they won't be for you.

desu I thought about him.
But then, who doesn't? I wasn't sure if that meant I should play him or if it just meant I was a normal human being.

Them next.
And then Unfallen after, I guess.

>30 years into game
>Get Sentient AI
Thats pretty nice. I wonder if zero point would had been better ah well. Robots are actually very very strong.

...

I want to fornicate with Wiz

I almost don't want to destroy the pirate station. Why are pirates so pathetic?

Neat

>Assault Titan Ultra Mega-Warform
Man, this sounds like some name a 8 years old will come with.

>go robot
>get fucked up the ass during a Crisis event
>can't even prepare for it
>have to deal with getting fucked while waiting a million months to research how to block the signal
10/10 PARADOX. Do the Contingency ships at least drop unique research options like how the Prethoryn drop the Scourge Missiles?

>not using hordes upon hordes of cost effective slave soldiers

So do the robot empires appear in game even if you don't have the DLC or is paradox holding their content hostage?

Should I care about synthetic dawn? I'm only here for the patch. I'm not really missing anything if I decide not to buy it, right?

Also how's the new weapon balance?
>Major rebalancing done to weapons to make more types of weapons useful in different situations
>Missiles can now retarget if their target is lost after they are fired. Missiles can always retarget at least once, and has a decreasing chance to retarget again after the first time

It's just a small story pack, you aren't missing much.

Missiles still get fucked by point defence.

No. We all know how it's going to be.
>"Man, Synthetic Dawn is soooo much fun teehee"
>"Tried it, it crashed 99% of my mods, fuck Wiz"
>"tried it, it's not compatible with the others DLCs, fuck Wiz"
>"not worth the money, fuck Wiz"
>"I don't even play Stellaris but fuck Wiz"

Good good. I had a feeling this DLC was a cash-in, and judging by this thread it's not even play tested.

The most legit complain I heard so far that it completely screws mods due to the game changing how races are handled.

>Complaints aren't legit unless I say so!
t.wiz

Just saying. The others are way too generic to be relevant.

Interesting feature I just noticed they addded in stellaris unless I just noticed it now. When a federation forms all nations in the federations change to the same color.

>100% approval
>Mutinous
what did they mean by this

Skidrow is working fine for me.

Yes, I see your internet history just fine.
You sure these dragon dildo will fit?

>Bugs
Ur fucking trash m8

Do you have enslaved pops on Tsing V? I kinda doubt it, but you never know, maybe it's that.

They're just so fucking ecstatic they can't take it anymore.

which of the two reloaded versions?

>Tsundere bugs
Worst trope for worst faction

> -268 food
Are you ok OP?

Hey /civ4xg/, reminder that in ~24 hours time we'll be playing /gsg/ as our first of two Veeky Forums League 9 friendly games.

For the ones who don't know: Every 6 months the generals of Veeky Forums get together and play against each other in a heavily modded version of Pro Evolution Soccer which gets streamed for us to view. The teams consist of varying memes and aspects of each general with the most popular being the star players with increased stats who tend to be the main goalscorers.

/civ4xg/'s team page: implyingrigged.info/wiki//civ4xg/

/civ4xg/ has two friendly matches vs. /gsg/ and /meg/ before the proper Veeky Forums League 9 which is set to take place in late November/early December.

vs. /gsg/ will be on the 23rd September at 19:30 UTC
vs. /meg/ will be on the 24th September at 17:30 UTC
>subject to stream delays on the day, but won't happen before the mentioned times.

Soon after the /meg/ game a roster poll will be posted in order to update /civ4xg/'s roster (pic related), and I'll be taking suggestions of what to add to the roster poll over the next few days.

Current suggestions to potentially add to the roster are:
Zelevas
Riftborn Bullying
Horatio Sauce
Efficient UI
Craver Neighbour
DUDE Insert something LMAO
Broken Lord Megacity
Cultist Megacity
Nerve Stapling
The Great Wall to that one user: if Great Wall makes it he'll be our starting keeper
some sort of /cbg/ rep

The above will all be added to the roster poll alongside the current roster with the 23 most popular making our team with the top 4 becoming our star players.

As stated, any and all suggestions will be added to the poll.

>Horatio Sauce
REMOVE THIS ONE

And add "Fuck Wiz".

Why not add Urban Sprawl as a player? Or something like it?

isn't corvette spam dead or did wiz FUCK IT UP again
also consider cravers of peace as an addition

>Horatio Sauce
PUT TWO OF THEM

Where do I go from there ? Every planet is some shitty 12 tiles 20% arid or artic. I've already wiped out a mechanical race. Now it's been 15+ years of boring nothing. Exploring without finishing the main quest. I don't even find anomalies anymore.
First perk I choose was the +5 core, because I don't see how everything else compete.

i'd remove cultist and broken lord megacity, add in cravers of peace and WE WERE DIFFERENT ONCE

Riftborn Bullying/Please do not bully the Riftborn and Horatio Sauce are no-brainer. Maybe Destructive Anal for EL.

Add Fuck Wiz The Konosuba Wiz model for the double meaning.

Darker pleasures.

Wiz is not for lewds.

>40 years in
>Im bored
Jesus m8. End game isnt for another 100 years at least. Build up colonize ect.
