man how are you even supposed to take planets? destroying all the bunkers on a planet doesn't even seem to effect how much damage a defending army takes from bombardment. and they are so loving strong its ridiculous. 30 clone troops should not have trouble taking on 10 defenders.

So everyone thinks the marauders are fine? How do you deal with them? I can't find any way to pay tribute even when they have one of their raiding fleets in my territory.

If they haven't contacted you, you don't pay tribute. If they're still in your territory, you're on their path to another empire that they're raiding.

I just got a refugee pop with 6600 days left of stellar culture shock and 1600 of "was enslaved". Was that always a thing? Never got refugees with such severe modifiers before.

I finally explored the wormhole in the middle of my empire and horrors! It lead right to the heart of a powerful fanatic purifier empire on the other side of the galaxy! Alright, what a great story, let's get this going, this is what wormholes are for! Except... I can't declare them rivals for some reason even though we have equivalent power. Nor can I make claims on them. They've done nothing to acknowledge me. I don't think the game actually knows we're neighbors. God drat it, I just wanted to play DS9, why does this of all features have to be kinda broken.

I just got the self modified event chain. When everyone flipped over to xenophobe/militarist their happiness all cratered instantly turning a nice happy 0 unrest core planet into a 140 unrest planet.  Guess its time to endorse some american style egalitarianism by declaring martial law and setting up a deep space black site and paving over some labs with strongholds.

I think I will leave this newly formed nation alone for a while. They have no planets nearby and they swore fealty to me as I brought them up from their machine age into the space age. Still waiting to get the tech that lets me uplift pre-sentients. I want these arctic people to get on my planet with a 15 mineral for 4 energy factory. It's the sole reason I am going to uplift them. And, well, bring them into my fold as we accept everyone. Except fanactic purifiers. Or hivemind bugs. Or robots. No vacancies in my lands for thsoe.

IIRC the capital building will suppress every resource, including energy already there, so it will only ever produce the energy and unity it is set to (plus any bonus from POP happiness).

Fanatic Purifiers + Post Apocalyptic is a fantastic combination. Armageddon bombardment takes awhile to uncolonize the planet, but instant habitable tomb world for you once you finish. Also empires seem to be hesitant to finish connections with you since that will give you CBs, so you can avoid expanding to their borders until you want to declare war. Edit: The fleet manager is insanely buggy right now. Mine keeps bugging out and declaring that all of my fleets are empty and need to be completely reinforced, thus rendering it useless because I can't use the reinforce button without creating a million fleets and going over naval capacity. Also half the time it splits up the build queue very sensibly, and the other half it sends it all to a single shipyard station. Zeron fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Feb 24, 2018 |

I haven't had any issues with 2.0 so far, including the fleet manager. Well that's not true - my issue with 2.0 is that the armies aren't hooked up to the fleet manager. Goddamn are armies still a pain in the rear end.

Eiba posted:I finally explored the wormhole in the middle of my empire and horrors! It lead right to the heart of a powerful fanatic purifier empire on the other side of the galaxy! I had a similar issue, it was quickly resolved when the Determined Exterminators expanded out and claimed the empty wormhole, thus giving us "official" borders and giving us the appropriate containment/extermination CBs. The game could probably stand to consider wormholes adjacent for the purposes of borders, though, yeah.

Man, the improvements to Stellaris with this update are crazy. The pace is more slower and thoughtful, which I think really helps the game. For example, I actually feel like I get the chance to sort of know my local galactic neighborhood and have to consider how I'm going to expand for the future. Well past my expectations. I got a neat Curator Think Tank on a starbase. That was cool.

I'm a pacifist and the fact that I can't set aggressive war goals means everyone refuses a federation with me. I sort of feel stuck. My neighbors regularly declare war on a place I have a defensive pact with and we win but I can't claim anything! I just want a federation :-(

First time playing, figured I would wait till 2.0 and start. Is there anything that forces the AI to fight in a system? What I mean is, if I nab a chokepoint system and build it up as a fortress, is the AI compelled to fight in it, or can they just pass through and ignore it? With the defenses in the center at the star, I am worried they can just come in and gently caress up planets or move on while ignoring the defenses. Probably a noob question.

hobbesmaster posted:I don't think thats a bug, but yes they are a separate main entry. That's a shame. I'm pretty sure it is a bug, because the code that creates them is still pretty much the same as it was back at launch, and it means there's no longer a way in the event scripting to create a subspecies. My understanding is that's "is_mod = yes" is supposed to do this, but currently doesn't. And it leads to weird poo poo like if you take the psionic perk as the Commonwealth of Man, for example, you then get situations where the United Nations diplo screen starts using the word "human" like it's some weird alien species "oh, your human culture is so interesting" or "humans and humans must work together for peace" instead of the special dialogues which show up amongst empires of the same species.

So for some reason even though I have all the techs and unity stuff done... I still cant build a ring world or dyson sphere. I can build Habitats and science nexus's, but it just wont highlight anywhere to build the others.

Probably a noob question. they must capture the starbase to invade planets, and once you get the FTL inhibitor tech, they can't go past an upgraded starbase or an inhabited planet until they take them so yeah very early on they can technically just dodge your defenses to an extent, but the AI probably doesn't do that much; a player might though.

I think Ring World and Dyson Sphere both can't be built in a system with habitable planets or something? And a Ring World needs x amount of planets as raw material (the planets are consumed in the building process)?

 I bought fifteen cruisers from the nomads in 2243 more than tripling my fleet power. Also I am only paying one naval capacity per CR, barely any upkeep and they seem to not take part in the fleet manager thing. Is this intended?
