Anyone know of a mod that disables random empires? I want only the goon species empires to spawn but I don't want to set them to always spawn. I guess I could maintain two versions, one with always spawn and one without, if I needed to.

40k is pretty easy to hit, build 6 missile bay additions. Then build the defense grid supercomputer and put on two ion cannons and fill out with 7 more of whatever the best defense platforms you have are. Also maybe the ambition that gives +40% home territory fire rate would do something helpful here.

Ok, so my mods list is hosed and I don't know why: If I double click on the grey spots, some of them will beep like they're turning on and off but I can't tell what's what. I'm running 2.0.2, I wound up deleting local folders and trying to verify, etc. Before I deleted the folders I had a handful of mods show up scattered through the list with a red ! warning.

I guess I could maintain two versions, one with always spawn and one without, if I needed to. Not really, but you can achieve almost the same thing. If you have more empires set to "always" spawn than there are available empires in the game, then the game will randomly choose between the "always" empires. So if you have 45 goon species, set them all to "always," and tell the game to spawn 10 empires, then those 10 empires will be pulled randomly from the 45 goon species.

Argh. One of my fleets refused to fight a full-sized enemy fleet, just sat there being attacked by it. So I loaded the last autosave, and in a different engagement, my corvette fleet tried to "fight" a starbase by flying off to the edge of the system and circling around one of the departure points, so no fire could be exchanged at all. I think I'm going to shelve this again until they've fixed some of the more crippling bugs.

ConfusedUs posted:Not really, but you can achieve almost the same thing. Yeah, I knew about that. I was hoping for another mod that disables it entirely as I want the goon species mod to be "enabled" instead of "always". In other news, I made a Fanatic Materialist/Authoritarian species. Couldn't figure out what to do with it until I learned that Synths can be enslaved. Voyager I on Discord posted:creating sentient AIs just so you can properly enslave them is some spectacular cruelty.  This is absolutely my plan now.

AtomikKrab posted:Or just keep repeating techs that upgrade weapons/armor/defense platforms/etc I'm guessing you can't just resettle every pop away from a planet? Maybe try and build 1 robot pop there and then after moving everyone else away dismantle it? If you can't force resettlement at all you could try terraforming the planet to something everyone hates & hoping everybody relocates on their own. Terraforming it twice would be even better, during the second cycle they'll have crappy habitability & a happiness penalty (not sure if that's taken into account for migration). I don't think voluntary migration will ever completely depopulate a planet though.

Okay I'm sitting on about 50k minerals, max energy. The Fallen Empire has not yet awoken, and I'm on the edge of turning Equivalent in fleet power. I already dwarf them in naval cap and could easily afford to triple my fleet size (going from ~60k to ~180). I traded a bunch of energy for an active sensor link some time ago, and they only have ~100k in fleet power. They're still overwhelming in Tech, but I have a colossus and and am working on repeatable techs myself. Should I start insulting them so they declare war, then buy all that sweet fleet power at the steep Harmony tradition discount (plus the unity ambition for it too), and mop the floor with them? All signs point to yes, I feel.

so some of my pops became psychic and the rest of them, most of the race, are now set to be "undesirables" and are being purged. and I can't change the species settings to make it so that this isn't happening. I can reload to a save before I did it, but I'm just curious as to what the hell is actually happening here.

Even if you have 3, you just need 1. Trading basically gives another empire the same bonus for X number of years.

Sector AI really needs to chill out when it comes to food. I'm playing a devouring swarm hive mind so whenever I conquer a chunk of planets I've got hundreds of excess food per month but the new colonies only have a few resettled pops to work the tiles but sectors still put farms as the absolute highest priority for pop assignment.

I just hit 2400 in my current game and the Khan never appeared. Kind of an anticlimax. I know I had midgame crisis set to 2300, does he just not show up sometimes? Or maybe I screwed up the spawn because shortly after 2300 I wiped out the marauder empire bordering me because I didn't want him to appear there. There are two marauder empires still out there but they're kind of irrelevant by now.

I'm having an absolute ton of luck with Torpedo/Autocannon corvettes in droves with cruiser artillery support in about a 3:1 ratio. Double afterburner cruisers don't seem to slow down the group and provide a long-range punch to take out big tanky things like starbases and titans.

Maybe this is because I set the AI to agressive, but is anyone having trouble with the AI just sorta suicide attacking? As in they attack a vastly superior force and get trashed every time. I was sitting in a system with ~10k fleet and a 3k starbase, and here comes the AI rolling in with 3k and gets wiped. Like something is off with how they're calculating their odds?

Hey I'm planning on going to war with a devouring swarm whose planets have poo poo habitability for me. I can get either migration treaties with people that have suitable habitability, or possibly enlighten a vassal, plus I have robots (though not synths). What happens when I take over their planets and how can I make sure they're stocked with suitable species?

I conquered a planet with a couple of organics on it as a Machine Empire and I've decided I'd rather have real robots on it than lovely batteries, but the little jerks refuse to migrate away. I think I've had them set to 'Undesirables' for something like 150 years and they're still just chilling out, miserably working a few tiles on a planet that is now predominantly populated by robots. I even terraformed the planet into a machine world hoping I could 'accidentally' genocide them without pissing off the rest of the galaxy, but they're still sticking around at 0% habitability - they're just slightly more miserable about life than they were before. Is there anything I can do do get these guys to gently caress off short of sending out the killbots? Should I just make them a habitat in some poo poo-rear end system and then release it as a vassal?

If the planet is full of hive mind pops, you'll have to keep an eye on when they start dying. There's only a few months between the first one dying (giving you room to place your own pop there) and ALL of them dying. Note that your robot doesn't have to be FINISHED building; as long as it's there, you'll hold the planet. In my current game, I built a single robot and replaced a single building with a Visitor Center. I put the bot on the building, and waited. Didn't take long for my pops to start migrating once there was room.

What kind of planet do they need? Maybe non of your neighbours has any planets they could be displaced to. Do you have food production? If not, they should slowly starve to death

0.75x hyperlanes on a spiral galaxy really is the way to go. You get some wonderful space terrain, which leads to stories. My machine empire started near some erudite explorer lizards who were pretty chill, except that they took a system that blocked my access to further expansion up-arm. So I declared war, took it, immediately formed a NAP and then defensive pact (No harm no foul, right? Right? Look, sorry, but we really wanted that). Unfortunately for them, their other avenue for expansion was cockblocked by a spiritualist empire, so they just sat there in their 10-star empire until about 2400, at which point they asked to become my protectorate. I accepted, and will integrate them soon (I am running the Machines Co-exist mod, so they can participate in my empire as something other than Matrix pods). Imagine being in that tiny star nation, watching the robot empire neighbouring you expanding and dominating a quarter of the galaxy. "That could have been us. That should have been us. But it isn't us, may as well ask the machines to take us in and make it official."
