Has Grid Amalgamation not producing resources been fixed yet?
>let's push a patch that literally breaks devouring swarms as well as every single machine empire because their purge types doesn't collect the resources they create
Thomas Kelly
Reminder not to fall for "every system is valuable" meme iirc no purge creates resources currently
Ryder Bennett
HAK HAK HAK
Gabriel Parker
There has been no patch yet. Devouring swarm is fucked even harder by this.
Brayden Foster
Goddamnit. I specifically built my economy up on being able to subdue and farm my neighbors, so now I'm making 1.000 minerals a month, while 600 credits in the hole. And I've already out-traded the other AI empires that wants to deal with me; They literally don't want minerals anymore.
Luis White
Does neutron sweeping a prethoryn planet represent an opportunity to keep a planet from becoming barren?
Joshua Clark
Why does the 4th image have such a resource boost?
Hunter Hernandez
Trader enclaves should be able to help with that a little.
Jackson Walker
rearranged sectors to cut off as many systems as possible (look at planet count in main sector)
Josiah Cook
This seriously pisses me off.
Levi Nelson
>can terraform an arctic ocean planet to a desert planet >can't terraform mars into a desert planet ?????????????? terraforming needs to be reworked
Gavin Martinez
Are the Humanoid and Plantoid packs worth the dosh?
Brayden Perez
no
Andrew Morris
Won't this create a big pirate problem?
Brandon Campbell
So why Spanish
Julian Nelson
stop
Liam Hall
enjoy your pirates
Dylan Roberts
I don't want to deal with pirates and I'm not sure I'd like to trade mineral/energy production for science/unity output.
Angel Ortiz
In reality terraforming and planet habitability should be a lot more complex. The main decider of habitability is atmosphere, not climate, and climate is behind other things like radiation and gravity in terms of making planets truly habitable, rather than degrees of comfort. Similarly, species should have different atmosphere and gravity preferences.
Landon Young
...You paid for Stellaris?
Lucas Peterson
Not when you have 3 rapid response fleets
Noah Hernandez
lurk moar
Nicholas Powell
Like £5 yeah
Henry Cox
Reactor boosters aren't really worth it, are they? There simply isn't enough to do with extra power to justify them over swapping armour for a shield, let alone swapping shields for an armour-heavy build.
Landon Howard
Which of the dlcs are worth getting for stellaris? Which ones aren't??
Daniel Lopez
Utopia is the only one approaching the necesssity of one for EU4 or CK2. Armageddon is basically gimmicks for the late game, and the patch actually thinned out some of the paywall from Utopia.
Luke Ward
Maybe leviathans. That's it.
Alexander Scott
Leviathans adds boss mobs around the system than will block you from expanding with the new hypermeme only Utopia adds some overprieced unique buildings and ascension paths Apo adds meme ships that make big explosions Rest is just aesthetic stuff
Dominic Watson
Armageddon has marauders which might add something interesting to the game, but currently it looks like they will get tweaked.
Josiah Ward
>when a craver playthrough loses steam and suddenly you realise that you're stuck with a bunch of empty planets, loads of unhappiness and non-competitive yields while everyone else pulled ahead and are starting to form alliances I blame the map and a neighbouring Sophon bastard that rushed me with medium ships after failing a stupidly cheeky forward settle a jump away from my capital. While I was trying to drown him in corpses everyone else was busy claiming the best spots in the galaxy. God I hate Sophons and their speedy dick ass ships.
Jordan Myers
>Armageddon has marauders which might add something interesting to the game If you've played it, you'd know it's a shitshow. The little runt empires sitting in the corner hording gold throw 5000 energy in order to get a 12000 strength fleet to destroy anything in their path and fuck up your economy, and your fleet if you let them get caught. They're even more annoying than the horse lords in Crusader Kings, who you can have some interaction with.
Nicholas Baker

Caleb Wilson
It was on a sale last year or so.
Cameron Lopez
If you conquer them, do they simply die or do you keep their habitats?
Grayson Kelly
how's this for a science heavy build, with eventual machine ascendancy feel like democracy would be better because of the boost to influence meaning I can run the science grant always while not getting fucked over by spacebases
Lincoln Turner
>if you play the game, you lose the game
Is this the pinnacle of game design?
Cameron Nguyen
>brainlets ignoring the point
The game punishes you with pirates if you don't expand and punishes you with science loss if you do expand, it's a shitty design.
Carson Miller
Well, people asked for tall playstyle being viable.
James King
What's weird is there's no real reason to punish science for obtaining more resources.
Daniel Butler

Bravo. I'm just going to spawn the ships there, get fucked Wiz.
Carson Mitchell
Now that AI knows exactly where your fleet's going, when you get the message about pirates and send a fleet to attack their stations, do the pirate fleet always stay in place to defend it? I mean, it happened to me, but I'm curious if it's reliable.
Easton Jenkins
It's time for frivolous conquest.
Josiah Campbell
Only of your neighbours though!
Julian Anderson
Yeah and it's not even a neighbour.
David Johnson
>when cute butterfly rubs your hard, stiff border
Christian Nelson
Friendly reminder that Hollow Knight is /indie/, not /civ4xg/.
Brayden Allen
Still waiting for somebody to tell me what in 2.0 isn't broken.
Robert Lopez
Does anyone have good stories about finding Earth in Stellaris? Whenever I get there it's post-apocalyptic and cockroaches live there.
Carter Wright
you can design ships and colonize planets without too many gamebreaking bugs
Grayson Sullivan
Want to stop that Fanatical Purifier who is destroying the entire opposite half of the Galaxy? Too bad. Your empire doesn't have a direct hyperlane into their empire so they're clearly not a threat worth containing. Want to turn that slaving despot empire into a Federation Builder so you can get them into your Federation? Too bad you're not neighbours so you can't.
Honestly fuck this retarded system.
Aiden Adams
The main menu works fine.
Gabriel Scott
Bullshit, you don't need direct border for game to consider enemy empire a threat
Jayden Peterson
You do need a direct border to declare war on them, dumbfuck.
Chase Carter
I would guess similar to how small fleets can get weird bonuses now this is part of Wiz's push to make tall empires viable. Go big, get big fleet, big fleet not help because small empire fleet gud and space forts gud and small empire tech gud and your fleet slow.
Jaxon Evans
DID YOU KNOW >you need supremacy tradition to actually choose fleet tactics (no retreat, defence in depth etc) >you need domination tradition to create any kind of vassals (besides protectorates from uplifted species)
Daniel Russell
You don't? Claims are just more expensive
Adam Allen
>create game based around 3 types of FTL at start >later change it so only one type of FTL is available at start >game is still balanced as though there are three types
lel
Mason Cruz
There ought to be "send warning" and "proclaim guarantee" in those cases.
In those cases it might be argued that that's to represent the limitations on field of fire for a large fleet versus a small fleet. A lot of the battle reforms seem to take cues from HOI4, but in space there's less justification for saying small fleets are too small a target for a larger navy to get a clear shot at. What is good to represent though is that even if you're taking down a tiny fleet, the tiny fleet has the ability to shoot at the enemy.
Sebastian Ramirez
So what you're saying is if I want to play a specific kind of empire now I have to choose a particular tradition tree where before I would just ignore the trees that look useless? Okay.
Caleb King
Yes you do for Fanatical Purifier's. You need to border them for the containment CB. You can not claim FP systems.
Kevin Young
Shit I can't even open up unexplored systems so I console add ships there. reeee
Gavin Powell
>gets fucked in hyperlanes
Nathan Cooper
>stealing your build but being democratic plant people
Evan Richardson
whatever happened to liberation anyway my favourite thing to do was balkanizing the entire neighbouring region and have them fight against eachother instead of against me why didn't this system get improved instead of scrapped entirely?
Caleb Hill
rip
Julian Butler
you have to check "liberation wars" policy
Thomas Russell
I like the IDEA of how it works now since you can liberate whole empires instead of being forced to balkanise them. I think it's retarded they need to be neighbours because they need to be neighbors for you to rival them because they need to be rivals for you to use the enforce ideology CB though.
Benjamin Sanders
I want to fuck wiz
Owen Morales

Joshua Perez
I prefer Megumin.
David Martinez
Fuck off, wiz.
Benjamin Bennett

Eli Thompson
It's a legitimate criticism that tonnes of events and mechanics still work as if warp and wormholes we're still available FTL types. Stop acting like a spastic.
Julian Jackson
>game is still balanced as though there are three types >implying they were ever even remotely balanced
Mason Cooper
So how does the mongol event exactly play out and can you actually kill the Khan in multiple ways?
Does it pose any threat like endgame crisis do
Oliver Gray
Nothing wrong with paying for the main game, I paid like €7 in total. Totally worth it for the easier modability.
Brody Wilson
Calling "this" getting fucked, lol You have so many ways to progress, unlike me yesterday. Endgame crisis that starts during mid game and ends by itself >can you actually kill the Khan in multiple ways? Without diplomacy and spying dlc? Doubt it I think there only "kill him in battles" or wait until he got assassinated by his general >Does it pose any threat like endgame crisis do It does, even if you aren't near, but mainly because you can't have strong fleet without dedicated habitants to mine minerals
Gabriel Howard
Wish I could find Earth at CW or WW2 era. I never find it as anything except tomb world.
John Evans
Don't you mean fuck on wiz
Nathaniel Davis
>Small galaxy Who cares?
Christopher Hill
>spying dlc Any idea if this is what they're going to do next? The game really needs it.
Asher Ross
I hate how having hyperlanes less than one feels like you're building your empire in a straight line, but having it on one feels like most stuff is connected with only a few broken off areas
Landon Watson
Until they fix traveling speed there no way I will play on large or medium
Jordan Nelson
>manlet galaxy
Brody Mitchell
>rashly remove major mechanics under the pretense of making the game better >forget to change all other mechanics that previously relied on the mechanics you removed to function correctly
I'm sure it will be fixed by the next DLC, which will break something else in exchange.
Isaac Wilson
I wish there was a hyperlanes setting that made it so there were "islands" of connected systems but only 2-4 exits out of each island.
Jesus, grow up, you faggots. If you don't like Stellaris, nothing force you to play it, so why not play something else? Or better yet, make your own game instead of acting like a bunch of armchair experts?
Henry Davis
The change wasn't made rashly though. They had been considering it even before Utopia. And it is clear that many things were changed and added to complement the change. The bugs just mean they didn't do enough testing, which happens a lot with paradox's current business model.
