/civ4xg/ Endless, Stellaris, Civilization, and 4X

I have to choose an ideology now, I want autocracy, but brazil has freedom and he has a tourism of like 203. If I pick autocracy my citizens will likely eventually riot what's it matter with 80 unhappiness though, but I need it.

I'm lubed up and gonna let them take it because I've never seen it happen

what are some unskippable mods for stellaris?

civic redux
more events mod
guililililis planet modifiers
and UI mods

13th for Jadwiga, eternal waifu

how should I build this planet?

energy farm

Should I build any science buildings?

FOOOOOOOOD

all mines

Remove Lumeris from galaxy.
Do your part.

Those are some very antimerchantic thoughts right there

Sirry for bothering, if i change clock on my computer to 21 or 22 of January can i get Endless day quest in ES 2? or am i shit out of luck try next year?

GoG fixes most stuff, so don't worry.

It should work.

>Sophons got science victory on my first vaulters game 7 turns before the limit
Jesus I should have squashed the little shit while I could. Taking 3/4 of his systems wasn't enough it seems.

Thank you!

See .
If in doubt, the answer is always mines

I have a deal for them, one they'll pay with their lives.

>more events mod

peak humor

>space cancer

if paradox were to make more species packs what would you like?
for me personally I would like a stereotypical aliens one
>generic Grey aliens
>generic lizard reptilian aliens
>flying saucer shipset
the only problem is that there would not be much content to pad it out
also a fish/aquatic species pack would be neeto as well

>space cancer
Are they talking about Stellaris?

>cure space cancer
>it alt+F4s the game

I shamelessy pirated Endless Space 2 with Vaulters DLC too but does this screen means i have also all the other goodies?
Also, any 4x first timer tips? I promise will consider buying the game if i enjoy it

Bad pirate, bad!
Yes, you have the whole package, these ones are free updates.

>space cancer
wtf

I've never seen this event before are you sure it's from mem?

Good god, what the fuck happened here?

I'ma colonize it. Maybe the ghosts of the dead will make this a shining new capital for my empire. Whats the worst that could happen?

Modded Stellaris is the best

Oh this is actually from Extra Events, my bad. I'm guessing from all the reactions that More Events is actually a competent mod?

I was wondering why people were praising More Events when the first quest is to survey 8 stars - different mod entirely

Here's another example of how pants on head retarded Extra Events is: my fleet is in combat with an enemy fleet and this event started saying that I lost two ships during a training exercise. Gee, thanks.

>first game of stellaris in several months
>contingency arrives shortly after I go full synth ascension
>Machine fallen empire on the other side of the galaxy wakes up with the sole purpose of fighting the contingency
>due to distance and AI retardedry contingency takes enough planets to get the cybrex to come back
I love robot wars

>download more events mod
>179 Mb
Jeez and it said it only uses vanilla assets? What am I downloading?

>the accident is the fact that they didn't realize this was an actual battle and not an exercise. to cover it up they BSed something to central command

I dont see any problem with this

It's mostly trial and error.
You won't get a perfect first run so best jump in and figure things out, I find that more fun.
You can always look how people play afterwards.

it will seem overwhelming, if in doubt or feeling in over your head, just wing it. you will sooner or later realize what that thing actually does
A few games and you will be in the groove of things.

Also, this is a game wehre reading the tooltips and flavortext is more than worth it

...

is it just me, or is it retarded that I have to research lower tier techs for techs I already have a higher tier for?

How do i make mor elabs in aurora? They don`t show up int he installations thing

>is it retarded
yes

You have to have Trans-Newtonian Elements researched first to build the research labs.
Don't ask why - it's just one of those things we all hope Steve will fix.

>Playing Xenophiles
>Take some Fanatical Purifier planets in a war
>The Xenophobes are now wrecking me internally

I just know a civil war is going to break out.

>best looking reptilian race
>has terrible looking clothes
Fucking pisses me off. Some of the clothes ingame look good and fit the sorta-detailed artstyle races like pic related were painted in, and there's this fucking shit that really looks like it was made by a worse artist
I don't suppose there's a mod for this?

>22 tile gaia world with 2 betharian spots

caching

I think you mean 'kaching'.

what if he's planing on naming it "Cache"

>try More Events mod
>get this at the start of the game
What do?

Forgot to add: it doesn't matter if I close the windows, the game every two second or so pops up 5 new empty event windows.
I'm sure this is caused by More Events

OK

OK

>Falling for the overpowered synth pop meme
Do a galactic smash on any ethic-attraction means you can find, but due to your amount of influence you're partially fucked. Try to increase the pop's life standards and start building a shit-ton of defense armies on all affected planets

they're not synths, just normal murder-bots

Doesn't excuse that game-start robot empires are fucking overpowered, though
>Build a specialized template for every tile
>No factions to worry about
>No need to manage food, only energy
>All bombardment policies available except for armaggedon (if you do not play determined exterminators)
>Can build equivalent of organic-made buildings
>Can purge pops or even absorb them based on what civic you have
>Faster creation time than organic pops
>Only civic that actually requires skill is the servitor one but that only makes you micro-manage your empire
>Can colonize anything from the start of the game
>Only real challenge comes from the crisis that appears later on and gives big debuffs to every robot, but crisis power is downplayed when the cybrex appear and give you a critical advantage over them
They're like hive minds, except robots are better. Only way to balance it out is downloading a mod that adds more traits to the game, because that way organics can have an advantage by virtue of having better traits

I tried! But it was to late! I even got my projected xenophobe faction to 2% but they just didn't switch fast enough.

Guess I'll have to bring in the fleet.

>to further study machines and techniques of utilizing TN elements you have to first research said elements
>thats strange

Im sorry what ?

>you have to research something
>but you can't build research labs
I'm sorry - what?

>play modded stellaris
>wow this is actually really fun
>realize that the AI doesn't properly use many of the new mods on top of vanilla retardation making the game piss easy
>already most powerful fleet in the galaxy despite barely trying because the AI doesn't fucking know how to put some mines down on their planets or build literally any megastructures
Do any of the AI mods actually fix this?
Im about to give up on trying to make this game engaging.

Are Endless Space achievements ironman mode only?
My interest in Stellaris died because of achievements being exclusive to ironman mode, along with me losing before reaching 2300.

well, I've never played robots before so I thought I'd give it a go. What are some of your favourite builds to play with in general?

>along with me losing before reaching 2300
Given that it is impossible to lose after 2300, you shouldn't feel so bad, user - early game is the only time anyone loses

We did it! We weathered the storm! I didn't even need to glass any planets either! Time to kill those fucking cyborgs to the north of me.

>Build a specialized template for every tile
>Sectorise planet and the AI immediatly fucks everything up
gr8

I use this mod
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1140543652

Most of the time it works pretty well. Like pic related. I'm fucking terrified of it. Its already killed two Latvians and WON a war against a five empire strong federation that formed to kill it. I'm so glad I'm in the north and they are in the south.

That said if you have any mods that add buildings that focus on adjacency effects it can get confused.

Well, it's more that I quit when I was about to lose my homeworld or fleet than another empire achieving a victory condition that is the problem.

>the absolute lack of dimorphism in the humanoid pack
>this is worth 9 dollars according to paradox

>specialize planets
>only give planets to sectors after everything is built
>forbid redevelopment
Bonus points for a mod that removes systemcap

is there a way to have sectors only upgrade your buildings?

Seems annoying to have to regrab planets wehnever a new tier of buildings are unlocked

What was the most absurd game you had in stalearis?
>One planet strategy with vassals and shower
>With spaceport mod and a bunch of others but without ship mods
>by 2350 I have 2 fully developed ringworlds with ancient buildings, 2 science nexi and a dyson sphere
>the entire galaxy is my vassal, released from ceded planets, so equivalent in tech
>about 5M total fleet power
>decide to spawn a crisis
>vassals took care of it before I was able to send one of my fleets

They autoupgrade unless it's something like basic labs with multiple options, it's just that they're too retarded even for that and it may take them a while even if you shower them with minerals

Oh boy! I wonder what it could be!

>"I feel like the day you were born was... like a lifetime ago. It went by so fast!"

war wariness is a mother fucker!

Who the fuck wrote this shit?

huh, didnt know that. that saves quite a lot of tedium

i'm not a native English speaker, so tell me: the fuck is that supposed to mean?

The best i can come up with is it being a "wordplay" on the time since a guys birth have been a lifetime? Thats shit tier

it happened again :(

kill yourself you fucking reddit faggot

The problem is it's a contradiction. First she says "It feels like it was a lifetime ago", i.e. it seems like a long time; then "It went by so fast", i.e. it seems like a short time.
It's retarded.

It sounds like someone who attempted to write a casual conversation while forcefully trying to make it seem like it was natural.

The first sentence suggests that the speaker feels like a long time has passed since the listener's birth, yet the second sentence implies that she feels like it wasn't not so long ago.
It should either be:

>"I feel like the day you were born was... like a lifetime ago. It was so long ago."
or
>"I feel like it was yesterday the day you were born. It went by so fast."

What?

Well they spawn at start so...

The virgin craver vs. the chad sophon

But thats not that stupid.

"I feel like you were born a lifetime ago BUT it went so fast and now you are a big boy yadda yadda yadda".

Then it should say BUT.

BUT it doesn't. It's a contradiction, and not making the speaker point it out makes it sound like they have some kind of brain damage or Alzheimer DIsease.

You're special, aren't you?

That UI is disgusting

Check addon's to see if you got Pathfinders and Cravers Prime and the extra Sophon hero.

Word, I prefer clicking undersized windows each turn for every little thing.

The chad is the Lumaian. The first scene is the sophon and craver as friends.

>year 2355 in Stellaris
>still no signs of crysis

civ 5 ui is literally the most o k ui I've seen in 4x
