Found one bug: Multi-stage anomalies keep failing silently on me. I'm guessing the game wants me to use the same scientist to research the next part in the chain? That isn't stated anywhere though, the only requirement listed for these quests is a crewed science ship. AllI get is a ping when the research project is done and nothing else.

Like sure it looks like there is a bit of missing logic in there, but you have the tools to make it a non-issue. I mean yeah, if I had infinite minerals and an unlimited core planet cap I could do that, but since I have to use sectors and building something on every tile of every planet in my entire empire would be both too expensive and also soul destroyingly tedious, this isn't really all that useful advice. Since sector ai is going to spend all their resources building food on every tile, I'm probably going to restart with a less broken race.

I have a bug in one particular save where every time I establish communications with a new empire, I have to go through the greetings options dialogue at least three times before both it and the pop-up alert for away. Otherwise the patch and Distant Stars are good (but would be better without planet tiles)!

Play Exterminators or Assimilators. Not being able to build food-producing buildings seems to unfuck the sector AI a bit. Well, unless it decides to start forgetting to replace the capital buildings on conquered planets.

It's the deployment post instead of the Admin Array it should build. And it plops it down in the dumbest spot possible, every time. Still, Assimilators for life. No food rules.

In my current game, the Pulsating Stars project fails when I use a different scientist from the one mentioned in the mission text. It's a bit misleading, as the requirements list only "scientist is present", and I happened to have a science ship in that system, so why not get it done more quickly  Same thing happened in my previous game, but I can't remember the name of the anomaly unfortunately.

Does, uh, anyone know what happened to NSC? The website just went to this 'currently under construction' page and the Steam Workshop page has been straight-up deleted. Edit: oh, I pulled up a cache of the workshop page and the author was talking about possibly retiring due to people in the comments asking things repeatedly. So I'm gonna assume they got tired of people wanting an update to 2.1 and removed it either to actually retire development or just to work on NSC2 Season 2. Edit 2: Cool thanks for that I hadn't at all written that in my post and definitely wasn't asking if anyone had more information or knew about the other thing in my post you apparently didn't read.

There's a bug where if you click the arrow in the solar system view to move to the next system and then try to go back the camera will pan to the edge of the screen and keep bouncing off it and you can't do anything till you hit the map button at the bottom.

I've been taking a break from this once since before they fixed scaling difficulty, so I'm not sure precisely how it works: does the scaling bonus top out at whatever difficulty level you set, or is the "maximum" something else? I turned off Glavius this time around to take a look at the AI fixes and I'm actually surprised by how well they're keeping pace with me on a difficulty setting I used to steamroll (though from this I begin to realise that my early game needs refinement: my focus on locking down promising-looking chokes to backfill from means I'm shorthanded on actually colonizing, building infrastructure, and fleets, and that gets me into dangerous diplomatic/resource situations - and also swarmed by pirate spawns).

I don't know who decided to improve the AI, but wow, the changes are great and they kick my rear end. The binaries and trinaries are a nice touch, though I haven't really seen all that much of a difference in how they work compared to a regular system.

The AI is now much, much better. My first game on 2.1 I lowered the difficulty and still got my rear end kicked. The writing on the new anomalies is ace.

Very brief diary for this week - now that 2.1 is out they'll be focusing on support for bug fixes as new feature diaries take a back seat again pending their next announcement and a series of rolling beta updates will be coming as soon as next week (including the new peace type). The full diary is just one paragraph long: Wiz posted:Hello everyone and welcome to another Stellaris development diary! This one is just a short update to let you know what's going on in the development team and what you can expect in the coming weeks and months. As we just released Distant Stars this week, we will now be entering into an extended period of post-launch support with a rolling beta patch similar to what we did after the 2.0 release, both to sort out any issues with the 2.1 launch and to give us time to work on older bugs, QoL improvements and so on. We expect to have the first version of the rolling beta out early next week, with OOS fixes, a fix for starting planets sometimes spawning far away and some other priority issues sorted out. I've highlighted the part I'm most interested in. Hopefully that will help make starting a new game less of a slog.

Please swap the hotkey for move to survey. Or give survey a hotkey of it's own. We need to hit survey constantly (to queue up survey commands without endless right click -> survey) and you basically never need to give a dedicated move order where a simple right click wouldn't do.

Captain Invictus posted:goon rookersh fired up his first game of stellaris That 14 hours felt like maybe 3. The gently caress happened to my entire Saturday. I grabbed lunch at a certain point because I started to starve, and left the game running for maybe 20 minutes while I did but ahhh. My galaxy is hosed. I have 4! Hive Minds that basically run the entire northern half, and they are all Defensive Allies. Everyone on the south end is a loving mess of various cultures that are not ready for the Hive Mind menace. Including this dick rear end Slaving Despots that live right next to me. Thankfully I'm slowly but surely uniting the south into my new Federation which will hopefully help against future incursions. Got lucky, and my space samurai blue bird friends that spawned next to me had a government change right as I started building into them and became Fanatical Egalitarians who were super down to join my new Federation. Kinda worried about the L Gate mystery stuff. Like I've so far seen the First League and Old Gods as my two big story moments for this run, and it looks like that'll be it with my current rate of expansion/turning to focus on the actual galactic map. And I'd guess that if I played the game the next 5-10 times I'd probably not see the First League/Old Gods again because there are so many anomalies/story chains now. But every game going forward will still have the L Gate. Maybe it'll get better with future story packs, and they can do the Battle Brothers thing of "we will choose a random BIG story ending crescendo for your galaxy." so sometimes it'll pull the L Gate, sometimes it'll pull the Reapers, sometimes it'll pull actual God showing up. Also I get why tiles have to go, but gotta say I do appreciate them for a singular reason. I've tried to get into CK2 hundreds of times because it seems like it's always been something that'd be my jam, and I think Stellaris is really helpful at being the gateway drug to CK2 as it's got a lot of the same features/designs around it. I loaded up a CK2 game today to dink around in it and test this, and yeah I now know how to play CK2, something I spent years looking at guides to try and figure out.

CitizenKain posted:I like those ideas. Totally. Well I think there's certainly some promise in looking at missiles and torpedoes as being medium and large slots. I mean the sections for corvettes and cruisers are even called Missile and Torpedo sections respectively. I think that even if the devs didn't want to upend the existing system, they could improve it by limiting corvettes to missiles, and then varying the slots available to each section (I.e. the missile guidance system takes up the space of one of the defense slots) to help balance. I think that adding an ammo mechanic might be overly opaque, but certainly reducing the recharge rate more so that missiles don't out-DPS most other weapons would be a good start. Of course rebalancing the weapons brings in many other elements, which is why they've struggled with it. The combat computers are wildly unbalanced and encourage dumb tactics like firing torpedoes point-blank. The weapons ranges are all over the place and don't really seem to impact the fight because the computer generally favors getting in as close as possible. There's apparently some targeting issues that make it very difficult to screen your artillery, because the frontline is simply ignored. Basically the combat issues are kind of egregious, particularly if you compare it to the fairly well-considered systems of Sins of a Solar Empire or Eve Online. It's all stuff that probably made sense in isolation, but collectively has led to the uninteresting monofleets that dominate the game. Fortunately combat is really only a quarter of the game. Hopefully in the aftermath of Niven they'll be able to take a breath and see what they can do to encourage the use of more mixed and balanced fleets.

Combat is much better than it used to be both balance and composition wise, so while it could be improved I want to point out that it already has been, massively.

Guilliman is it your mod that's adding the version of the defence platform sections with guns on both the top and the bottom? Because if so that's a really really neat way to do the extra guns thing, most mods just put two guns in the same place.

I got Horizon Signal the first three times I played MP with some RL friends. It was hilarious.OwlFancier posted:Combat is much better than it used to be both balance and composition wise, so while it could be improved I want to point out that it already has been, massively. Yeah this is very true. Honestly the biggest change I want at this point is to decouple combat/non-combat sublight speed, so corvettes aren't way faster strategically than big ships. Plus it would help ~my immersion~. Some kind of evasion rework would be nice too, but that's obviously a far more difficult change.

Ships have fuel tanks, dodging bullets depletes fuel. Now evasion is also an additive defence, instead of multiplicative, unless your fights are very short. Boring, but effective.
