Doesn't seem very good to be honest. 15 of them on a planet is 450 minerals at a cost of 750 energy for example It's only slightly better than 2 to 1 deals with enclaves.

How can genelets even compete?

>Doesn't seem very good to be honest. >15 of them on a planet is 450 minerals at a cost of 750 energy for example >It's only slightly better than 2 to 1 deals with enclaves. Eh, it allows for total self sufficiency; it's not quite as effective as trading with others, but it's better than the enclaves and lets you focus on isolationism.
That said, it's still rather inefficient; a Dyson Sphere could only support 20 of these things, max.
A habitat alone can't even support more than 1, even if all the rest of the tiles are energy.
Jack Reyes
I'm brainstorming an idea for a machine intelligence empire, but I don't know what starting civics would be appropriate for it. The idea I had for its backstory is that an automated probe would land on an uninhabited planet, infest the ecosystem with a nanotech payload, and eventually assemble enough robots to achieve the processing critical mass needed to achieve sentience.
Samuel Turner
don't worry, you'll see it's flaws after a few games you'll see that every faction plays very similarly and is essentially the same thing dressed up a bit differently that warfare is only based around who has the bigger stack of ships that diplomacy, the main alternative to warfare is very basic and doesn't offer a lot of options that most of the quests have little to no influence on the gameplay you'll see that the game is like a gigantic kiddie pool - impressive in scope and sheer size, but ultimately pretty shallow
we've all been through it, Stellaris' gameplay is so shit you need to roleplay hard to actually get enjoyment out of the game beyond the initial few games and playing pretend with an inferior product gets boring after a while for 90% of people
Jason Gutierrez
>we've all been through it, Stellaris' gameplay is so shit you need to roleplay hard to actually get enjoyment out of the game beyond the initial few games and playing pretend with an inferior product gets boring after a while for 90% of people This is all true and yet I can't stop playing even though I know it's an unsalvageable mess. Help
Sebastian Smith
>spamming Pathetic.
Kevin Scott
You'll feel better after you play a nice game of SMAC.
Adam Turner
Play Aurora instead.
Eli Wilson
nth for buying a game and then fixing it anyways for free
Gavin Baker
Who Galimulator here?
Nathan Phillips

DRUMPFFFFF
Gabriel Wright
Assimilators and replicators maybe?
Lucas Carter
>whining about Stellaris instead of fixing it
Nice deflection Wiz. Its not our job to fix your shitty game.
>playing something else. I already removed Stellaris from my hdd and i never intend to play it ever again. I play Aurora and DW, thank you very much.
Chase Harris
Here is your Godwiz Point. I hope it was worth sacrificing your dignity.
Xavier Anderson
Replicators, yes, but I'm not sure if the Assimilators default backstory conflicts with what I'm trying to achieve, so I'm trying to find an alternate civic as a backup. Constructobots or Unitary Cohesion, maybe?
Elijah Nguyen
we ARE playing something else, and we're also shittalking Stellaris for being a bad game that's only popular because it's by Paradox and Paradox itself for being anti-consumer, petty and incompetent
these two activities are perfectly compatible and there is no reason to sacrifice one for the other
Andrew Rogers
So let me get this shit straight.
Both MACHINE portrait mods AND ROBOT portrait mods are incompatible with each other and you can only have a SINGLE ONE active at the same time.
WHAT THE FUCK WERE PARAKEKS THINKING????
I have spent 5 hours sitting here trying to figure out why my shit doesn't work just to find out paradogs were retarded as usual.
Please tell me this is going to be fixed or I will have to put my axe through Johan's retarded head.
Dylan White
>PARAKEKS >THINKING You must be new here.
Aiden Gray
you should be able to merge them, but manually
Colton Robinson
anyone knows if pirate dlc works for original steam game?
Cooper Johnson
Wiz is a lich, not a god.
Grayson Garcia
Not gonna happen.
I'm trying to make a priority override like the ! Anime Machine Species Compatibility Patch, but I can't get it to work. It doesn't seem to load first for some reason.
Samuel Mitchell
>instead of fixing it yes goy, do our work for free and dont forget to get the new DLC!
Jace Mitchell
how do i git gud at stellaris? it seems everytime i go to war the other cunt shits out a couple more thousand power ships and mugs me off, i only have success when the ai braindeadly walks into a decent defence station that also has my fleet in system
Jeremiah Ortiz
>It doesn't seem to load first for some reason. nvm, fixed it
Joshua Hall
>civ 6 recent reviews nearly below 50% Where did it all go so wrong
Gabriel Cooper
That's barely a game, it's more of a fancy screensaver.
Bentley Adams
social media and money instead of games

Elijah Davis
So, here's where my stellaris game is at: >Machine Civ >150 years in >tried to build tall so little to no expansion >have 6 planets RN >boxed in completely >two massive blobs of federation glomping up smaller empires left and right >they are allied >one is my neighbour >declaring war on anything results in everything zeroing in on me >they all have around 1.5 times my fleet strength EACH >be friendly with almost everyone >enemy far more advanced than me >just now starting to terraform to machine planets >just now developing jump drive >hyperdrive only game
Should I just wait out the big crisis and wait till all ym enemies get eaten? I'm kinda friendly with two of the three dormant empires. I also have like 3 planets within my borders with less than 16 tiles, should I colonize them for maximum ressources?
>gets bored of stalearis and starts playing ES2 halfway through the video accurate
Connor Baker
yea, but unlike enclaves it will be increased with mineral collection efficiency bonuses of your species and empire wide modifiers
Elijah Clark
it's good for what it is
Blake Robinson
It's decent. The new features are quite good but the AI is still dumb as fuck.
Aaron Robinson
Are you enemies with both federations? If not, try getting association status with either or both of them.
Landon Harris
>ES2 vaulters, Civ 6 rise and fall, and Stellaris Apocalypse all releasing every 2 weeks What did they mean by this
Austin Reed
/pol/ and trumplets abused social media too. and liberals are a ameritard thing only, atleast in the way they are described but social media cancer is everywhere.
Luis Hall
>B-BUT WHAT ABOUT DRUMPF Fucking eurotrash commie nigger
Samuel Powell
This is great user thanks for reminding me it exists.
Austin Johnson
Playing Civ 6 and R&F; Fighters I have embarked on Carriers can suddenly only deploy within a small area adjacent to the shore station I rebased them from.
Tried re-loading save games, restarting game, rebooting, deleting the fighter and using another existing one, building new fighters, building new carriers and a few other things.
Has anybody encountered this and fixed it? It's completely taken the shine of R&F dropping.
Wyatt Evans
I got bored and started another game before I even researched aircraft
Aiden Anderson
So I want to start a "beneveolent" wide empire, built on a caste system and religiousness. Anyone got any tips? Is it easy to befriend people into becoming vasals? Can planets convert over to my empire or do I have to take them by force?
Ian Edwards
About time they removed retards from the general.
Julian Bennett
It's almost as if games are better when they're made to be games and not political messages, huh?
Owen Jones
What happened? Are based mods finally kicking Stalearisposters back to /gsg/?
Tyler Young
No, they're removing the stellaris haters back to /pol/ where that trash belongs.
Parker Diaz
"normal" ethics races will do ok unless you go purifiers. hard mode: syncretic evolution, decadent, secondary race is livestock only, no farms allowed.
Adrian Harris
Do Cims teleport? I`ve made a industrial zone far away from the city and connected it using highways, the only traffic I see are trucks but the companies are full of jobs
Carson Ramirez
traffic isnt representetive of any mechanic
Wyatt Watson
>40000 faith Spend it already.
Luke Cox
I like the new golden/dark age mechanics in Civilization VI.
Henry Bell
in the new dlc they have the route thing they stole from a mod
Julian Ward
>hard mode: syncretic evolution, decadent, secondary race is livestock only, no farms allowed That sounds fun actually, I'll give it a shot
Tyler Hernandez
I've never actually got a dark age yet, just normal ages because I miss the golden age threshold by 2 points or something
Alexander Barnes
In my first game I got a golden age, because I expanded fast, got eurokas fast, built districts early, found natural wonders, conquered a city state, etc. But then I got a dark age, because having rushed all the bonus points stuff, I couldn't get enough during my period of consolidation. So it seems its either smooth cruisin without special ages, or peaks and valleys with them.
Michael Cook
Had an early dark age due to a bad start and hoo boy, it actually ruined that game for me.
Connor Evans
>it actually ruined that game for me
Why? The only penalty is lower loyalty, and early when your cities are close to each other and you haven't conquered any, and there are no spies and governors trying to flip, its not a problem. If anything, it almost seems like getting an early dark age so you can get a heroic age (from dark to golden is reward like 3x golden) seems like a powerplay.
Joseph Brown
Bad settlement near my capital meant that my first city was not close enough that the loyalty penalty could be mitigated by my governor.
Julian Torres
t-thanks
Aiden Carter
Why do the Avian ships in Stellaris look so good? And why do they look like sea creatures?
Henry Cook
>not building enough walls
Chase White
I found the meme stars.
James Gonzalez
Does the Vaulter DLC add things that aren't related to the Vaulters faction?
William Johnson
Molluscoids look more tentacular. Avian ships have beaks.
Adam Thompson
Yes, new ship modules and a minor faction.
Carson Martinez
it also adds boarding pods and pirate diplomacy it's not worth it unless you want to play as or against vaulters
Grayson White
I got a boner when I found Astartes once
Lincoln Howard
>tries Mordheim >play tutorial >loses half of my team >only one sister of Sigmar remaining >prepare an ambush >nothing happens >10 turns later >decide to hunt her >suddenly she goes toward my weakest party member, kill him in one hit I starting to think that I'm going to hate that game.
Camden Jackson
>Astartes It's literally a Semitic braphog goddess of war you retard
Carter Butler
Some of them have beak-like fronts, yes, but they look more like sharks/dolphins/whales/mantas to me due to many of them having fins. One of the cruiser combinations almost straight up give you a hammerhead shark.
Easton Stewart
>hammerhead shark Meh. Normal sharks are cuter.
Christian Mitchell

I've spent several hours playing Civ6 recently to see how much it has changed since its release, so here's some bullshit bullet points that mean about as much as the shit I just took in terms of its worth:
>civ starting distance is still clearly designed for an E-sport circuit which never took off. my last game as Georgria had me spawn 3 tiles away from Australia's settler, so my warrior capped it on turn 0 >the tech tree, civic tree, and civic cards are not a bad idea in and of itself, however, they lack any meaningful strategy outside of which tech to do first based on your start and even then its a no brainer. In addition, while the boost being reduced to 40% instead of 50% is sort of a step in the right direction as you'd have to do some weird shit just to get the boosts that are often counter intuitive to your strategy. >the quotes are shit, but who the hell cares when other more important things are even worse. >the AI still declares wars that it wont follow through with and will just sit there until the mandatory turns have elapsed so they can peace out >the era system isn't worth the money nor are the civs from what I've seen so far. >the map algorithm for island plates is misleading from my games, but that can be blamed on the designers wanting smaller maps overall for that lucritive E-Sports gig for a game that's often played solo.
Parker Jenkins
bitching is off topic. Please relate your crying to 4x related criteria
Charles Lewis
>implying the true meme star isn't Belgium
Austin Taylor
AI still being dumb as fuck and maps being smaller than they should be
Jason Johnson
Whining is off topic.
Angel Perez
Got Civilization VI yesterday. There's quite a bit that's meh about it, but here's what stands out more than anything:
Who is the dumb motherfucker who designed the religion system? If you don't found a religion yourself, you're completely fucked, because you can never convert to a religion founded by someone else. And when all the great prophets are used up, that's it, you're SOL. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
Grayson Reed
>imblying he isn't eXploiting the situation
Alexander Diaz
Yep, and the AI typically can spawn more missionaries than you can reasonably combat
Welcome to Civ VI
Daniel Cruz
Someone call the space police on this degenerate.
Charles Cox
Knowing what we know from developer diaries, how would an ideal fleet composition look like? I'd probably do: Corvette Interceptor: Kinetic/Plasma/Kinetic (swarm) Torpedo Boat: Kinetic/Missile (picket) Torpedo Boat 2: Plasma/Torpedo (Swarm)
Battleship Artillery: Kinetic Artillery x6 (artillery) Fuck You Boat: Energy Torpedo x6 (line) Carrier: Fighter x2/Bomber/Swarmer (line) Meme Ship: Swarmer/x4 Energy Torpedo (line) I can finally do this with the fleet manager. >yfw imagining doing this on the current version I'd just field cruisers with corvette and destroyer screeners and be done with it.
Nolan Sullivan
Did they list all of the combat computers available to each ship yet?
John Clark
>implying posting sharks isn't expanding my dick
Brody Sanders
Sharks aren't related to our general's topic.
Isaiah White
I'm going with what we know from DD#96. I would love it if you could put swarm in cruisers but likely you wouldn't
