It is weird to me just how much the wider internet is whining about the changes despite how much they are obviously better and more fleshed out than what they are replacing.

Darkrenown posted:If you kill the Vanguard fast enough the main fleet fucks off. Darkrenown you don't know how much it tickles me to learn this is intended behavior. I had a game recently where I played as friendly, largely pacifist birb people in a workers collective megacorp. They ascended synthetically and earned the ire of...basically everyone not in their federation of friendly peaceniks. This resulted in a hellwar with the Spiritualist FE where they were beaten back barely, their tech scavenged, and then a round two where I destroyed everything they ever loved. The once harmless trader birbs become extremely angry robots enforcing peace on the galaxy at sword point. So when the Prethoryn landed directly in my territory, my incredibly well fortified territory, it went uh super badly for them. If only they'd landed...anywhere other than in the territory of the highly militarized corporate robot birds.

The major concern is less how much over the cap you are and more what is putting you over the cap. If you're building a ton of districts on multiple planets long before you need them, then that's a massive drain on your economy and research progress for no good reason as it will be many years before the population growth will catch up and get you anything useful out of the empire sprawl you're causing. So yeah, go over the cap, but don't go massively inflating empire sprawl off the bat by pre-building districts and such decades before you can actually use them.

what would cause pops to stop assimilating in 2.2.6? i've got flesh is weak but i'm not going full synth, i'm happy to borg everyone. i have xenophile ethics and am just attracting waves of immigrants to boost my numbers. i have plenty of species which assimilate just fine but then others which never do - i set a group of them to assimilate and they just sat around, not assimilating but reproducing, to the point that unemployment events started to fire and i had to wait out a decade to switch them back to full citizenship. is it because i set AI rights from servitude to citizenship?

Assimilation has a bug  quote:As a workaround if you aren't in ironman you can select a planet and run "event action.65" via the console. Note that this is the yearly "convert 3-12 pops" event, so you will need to run it multiple times to convert everyone. No DD today, Daniel is off at GDC. DDs are currently "only if we have something interesting to talk about" rather than every week.

If you spin off sectors or do liberation wars things as a Megacorp you end out with Megacorp vassals... which means you can't open branch offices on them. This is uh extremely non ideal.

Taear posted:Dev diary on more fallen empires/end game/mid game crisises please! Having both a regular (gospel church?) megacorp FE + criminal megacorp FE would be really nice. Maybe a genetic ascension hive as well? I was thinking the hive FE would ask for pops to integrate into their hive for genetic diversity, and if you're playing a hive they'll try to force you to accept random pops to integrate into yours. When they awaken they would be like the machine FE where they could be nice, or they could awaken as a devouring swarm. Megacorp FEs would be a bit trickier to figure out what sort of mechanics they should have, I'm guessing it would be something like joining an EU4 trade league.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I was under the impression that post-patch support was supposed to be winding down by the end of March - am I wrong? No. quote:We don’t have anything specific to talk about or show, but we thought it would be suitable to let you know we’re still working on the final post-release patch. We’re aiming to release the patch sometime in late February. And then the next dev said that 2.2.6 would go live March 7 and had a list of future possible items, with Sectors and Pop Growth were their two biggest targets for the near future. quote:I have a lot of thoughts of what I want Stellaris to explore over the next coming years, but first I would like to talk about some of the things we want to tackle in the near future. Pop growth and sectors are two systems that we feel are not in a place where we would like them to be. Of course, whatever Darkrenown says is probably more accurate.

I'm on the 2.2.6 beta branch and all the empires on the empire select screen are showing the same ethics. When you boot up the game they are their usual ethics though.

All the sprawl and the undeveloped colonies from the other founding members cost far more in upkeep than the income from the gained mines. There's a bug right now where once you form the federation you lose your trade routes which is probably the cause (normally the federation just explodes once formed and becomes unstoppable) https://www.reddit.com/r/STNewHorizons/comments/awz9a2/guide_to_fixing_federation_trade_routes_bug_using/

Kept the economy going but failed to get the Andorians into the Federation. They now hate me at ~ -250 and I'm blocked on every side by another faction. At this point it looks like the Ferengi like me the most, closely followed by the Klingons?? This is a strange, strange world. Also, would that assimilation bug from earlier affect Borg gameplay? Do they use that or are their abilities homebrew?

Once Borg ground troops take over a world it turns Borg, the Borg gain control and the pops very quickly either turn into a Borg variant or die. (You're expected to migrate the pops to the Borg unimatrix at that point as Borg pop growth is super slow) Weird about the Andorians as they're set to prefer joining federations.
