I've gone from sort of understanding the basics of the game to not having an idea what I'm doing in any way. EDIT: Not that it will stop me from spending most of the weekend playing the game!

This is probably a dumb question but am I supposed to be pooping out outposts like crazy to grow my empire? I started next to a peaceful empire of the same strength and they grew fairly quickly while my borders stagnated. There were only two habitable worlds but I didn't want to rush and colonize them. Even when I did things still went slowly. EDIT: Also I researched robots. If I colonize a low quality world will it stick a human pop there automatically, or can I choose to only have robots there?

On the edge of my empire, on the far side of my ally I saw a system with a crapload of minerals. I slowly built my way toward it. When my farthest outpost was attacked by new, stronger pirates I decided to send one of my two fleets out there to defend my construction ship. Fought through the pirates, reached the mineral system and built a ton of of mining stations. Since it's at a chokepoint I built a starbase and began improving it so it could fend off pirates. I docked my fleet there to protect the construction ship until it was done with the mining stations. Well, something went sideways, a bunch of aliens popped out of the asteroids and destroyed the construction ship. My fleet is now trapped at the starbase surrounded by a ring of nasties that I assume will all jump me if I attack one. So I'm trying to build my way out by pumping up the starbase and its defenses. I'm curious to see if this will work.

I got wedged in between a hostile shithead empire and friendly guys. There are two paths through the friendly empire to free space so I picked one and started building on the far side of it. Turns out the other path has the friendlies hemmed in by space amoeba, mining drones, void clouds and something called a "stellar devourer" so for once the Parallax gods smiled upon me.

I have trouble figuring out how many offensive armies to make for a war. In CK II it was simple because I generally had feedback on how many soldiers both I and my enemy had at any given moment so I could just hit the button to raise the levies and my personal fighters, blob up and off I'd go. In this game I never know how many armies will be enough before I find out the hard way.

After a war with a purifier where I reduced them to just two systems before declaring a status quo end I later went back to finish them off. My fleet blew up all the ships in the first system and then bombarded the planet until all the defensive armies were gone. I tried to land my assault armies but got the message that they could not land on an uninhabitable world. The world is 95% habitability for my race. The tiles all appear occupied with the purifier race, but most of them have the icon on them to indicate that they've been destroyed. I have no idea how to finish this empire off if I can't land my assault armies.

When I loaded the save up again I could land and finish off the purifiers.

I've been having a strategy issue where I find myself grabbing alot of systems to reduce pirate spawns as well as try to capture chokepoints to hold back nearby empires. As a result my research costs go through the roof. I find that pirate spawns quickly outpace my fleets, especially if I'm expanding and need to have multiples to stay close to spawn points or hostile emps. In my most recent game due to the hyperlane layout I had to spread little blobs around to keep from getting trapped in a very small area, and then my pirate risk skyrocketed so I had to try and fill in the spaces as quickly as possible. It's really squeezed my ability to research.

I haven't played in a long time but I downloaded it anew this morning. I remember my chief complaints from before being how difficult it was for me to understand the mechanics of space combat, and how every federation/alliance seemed to have one member demanding I do stupid poo poo and growing hostile when I refused. It looks like an awful lot has changed so perhaps those things have been remedied.

I'm a bit lost as to what to do with my planets. Before I would watch my tiles closely to go for the resources I prioritized, made sure they were getting upgraded, etc. Now I get one tile with an admin building on it and watch my planet struggle. I might have an option to clear a tile blocker. I understand that the tiles are for buildings, and buildings create jobs, etc. but I feel like there's little I can do to solve specific problems like not enough housing.

Splicer posted:Build districts. See those coloured blobs on the left? You can turn them into mines and energy plants and farms, which also give some housing, and cities, which give dedicated housing. How did I get through the tutorial without learning that I can build districts? EDIT: Hahah that was so easy. Thank you! Dick Trauma fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Nov 28, 2019 |

My territory seems pretty small, but a colony at one end is listed as being in a frontier sector. It appears to be connected as much as any of them.

Loaded up Stellaris again. Last time I played was just after they changed how planets are managed. Things look similar, but there's the new galactic community thing which I don't quite understand, and combat feels different again. I'm letting the game handled ship design and am still in the corvette stage so I don't think it matters yet.

I'm in the middle of a difficult game where my territory is stretched and squashed and I only found three decent world, and then I was rushing to wall off a nearby aggressive xenophobe when I found not one but two gaia worlds! I've never actually colonized a gaia world before. And both were holy worlds.

I didn't know what a holy world was and actually colonized one, and had a second ship on the way when I found out I was going to get squashed like a bug. Had to blow up the colony I'd started.

Is there any way to get xenophobic isolationists to open their borders. We're on good terms, but their closed borders are blocking off almost the entire rest of the galaxy from exploration. EDIT: Also I'm curious if there's a way to extend sector sizes. I have a few planets that don't appear to be close enough to one another to be included in a mutual sector, but I don't want a bunch of one planet sectors.

PittTheElder posted:Any truce will do that, including just breaking a non-aggression pact. I broke the non-aggression pact and their borders opened! I immediately set all three of my science ships to auto-explore. And then I received the notification that I'd completed researching "speculative hyperspace breaching." Does that let the ships jump anywhere they want?

I used the sensor link method to make the three little unexplored parts of the galaxy accessible for breaching and sent my three science ships off. I waited, and they didn't reappear. Then I noticed a new icon, listing the date and time each would emerge from hyperspace. One was going to take six months, another two years, and the last four years! I feel like I owe my crews an apology, especially because there's maybe twelve systems left to explore.

Do AIs every attack hostiles in their territory, like pirates, amoebas, etc.? When I see them on the map they seem to stay there forever.

I don't know if a mod is responsible but there was an event where one of my planets found a device that creates edible "dust" in great quantities and got a nice boost from it. Well now a few years down the road the device is out of control and producing huge drifts of the dust and they can't shut it down!  EDIT: I just recovered a "maniac orb" that crashed onto a primitive world I was observing. It is definitely malevolent but I have an opportunity to negotiate with it. What's the worst thing that could happen? Dick Trauma fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Nov 18, 2020 |
