AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:What is the best way to deal with a Void Cloud early game when I have tier 1 weapons and have not seen any potential weapon upgrades until I just now started researching Space Torpedoes? I would really like it dead but I have lost a good 20 Corvettes trying to bumrush it and i never get it below 600 health. Missile boat corvette swarm, no other weapons other than nukes, no armor, no shields. Each ship will cost about 115 minerals each. Any cannons are a waste, those shields are too thick and a waste of minerals. Same with armor and shields. Retrofit to a sane design once your cloud hunt is done.

Woot took out a devouring swarm with my tomb world foxy floofs. in Celebration, I made all the pops of the insect races of my desert worlds into copies of the insectile hive mind with genetic ascension perks and gene modding.

So, I am finding that having battleships and corvettes is working well for me. I load the corvettes in 2 designs. The first is picket corvette with flak/autocannon x2. the 2nd is swarmer missile/autocannon. the battleships are set to artillery, with an all energy load out. The corvette swarm rips shields apart, allowing the big beams of the battleships to work as soon as possible on armor, the battleships are X bow, Large stern, carrier core, with auto cannons in the small slots, and flak point defenses.

The cultist chain needs a sanity check. right now, its considering gates and wormholes for local star systems to seed the bases and corvette fleets as local, when you are just starting out and have non of that tech.

I have the bug where the terraforming equipment summoned the mutants. They took over the planet, and tore apart the droids i had as placeholders to coax some people to move in.. and stopped. a human moved in before the purge was complete, and now there is a size 23 continental world with no tile blockers in the middle of my empire loaded with bugs, humans and foxes just mooching free food an providing nothing because its says its occupied. I cant build, i cant land troops and i cant bomb the place. Is there a command or something I can do to purge this place and start over?

Thanks to Guill's planet mods, I stumbled on a RP concept race that I am rather enjoying.   The Valdari became aware their planet is alive, and that planet views them as unnatural for being sentient and not part of its hive mind. This drove them into a religion devoted to killing this malevolent god. Their entire history is a war against this Planet God. National win condition is to planet crack their home world, but before that, pollute it and poison it as hard as they can with droid slaves and the fires of industry. Terraforming it is not an option to kill Arakim. Its not final enough. First act is to evacuate everyone to a new homeworld with the first colony ships and forced relocation. All other non living worlds are to be cherished as a promised paradise. Any other living world similar to Arakim is a target for Holy War to kill the Planet God no matter the owner.

I was going to say, destroy your outpost, then send a ship in works to trigger it. Its a dumb bug, and annoying, but I never thought what would happen were it in a colonized system. The bonus you get for the chain isnt that vital, at least if thats the situation you are in.

A few custom designs that work for me as a general I dont care what I'm fighting in early game Corvette Interceptor Point Defense Hull Flak, Auto Cannon/Kinetic, Plasma/Laser Armor, Crystal Plate/Armor, Shield Swarm Computer Afterburners Flak there has decent dps, has tracking to hit other corvettes, and is a generic damage type. They tend to be right there as the enemy missiles are fired and weight of fire pops them Plasma and Auto Cannon just do bonus vs everything in turn. Two armor because one damage type with missiles bypass shields completely and shields, even weak, regenerate. replace with crystal plate to allow corvettes to survive defense by pass attacks and withdrawal more likely. I pair them with these. they add punch to the corvette fleet, and are nearly as hard to hit. Corvette Guided Missile Hull Auto Cannon/Kinetic, Missile Armor, Crystal Plate/Armor, Shield Picket Computer Afterburners I tend to ignore destroyers. But I go with gunships. Medium x2, Small x2 hull layout Medium slots take 2 lasers. Kinetic cannons in the small slots, they have the same range as medium lasers. Half damage medium lasers still damage shields decently Armor x3, Crystal Plate/Shield, Shield x2 Line computer Afterburners An amusing option late game with either AI or better Psionic computers, is an artillery brawler. Large/PD hull Kinetic Artillery/Large Other, x2 Laser point defenses Armor x3, Crystal Plate/Shield, Shield x2 Picket Psionic Interface Enigmatic Decoder You have a cheap ship flying in with a hugely over sized gun with absurd tracking for its size. With top sensors, that Artillery has a tracking of 60 or so. A top dodging corvette has an evade of 90. tracking 60 makes that 30 evade. 30 evade vs accuracy 80 on that big gun means half of those artillery rounds are hitting corvettes.

Everything flows from mineral production. Im regularly hitting +1k a month by about 2300, 2k a month by 2350. And thats without hitting anything special as far as mine only planets or the like. I just put every mineral deposit as a mine, never minding its dual use, and put a power drill robot/droid/synth on it. If I wanted to, any world that is not my type can be made into pure mines with droids. even with just t2 mines, a tiny size 10 world is 30 minerals a month, then you factor in mineral processors and droid bonuses, you can get it to 40-50 easily. If you care about energy or research, take habitats, and put a solar collector habitat in orbit of it, then use that to power another pure research habitat to pay for the added cost of the power hab and mines. Added unity cost can be offset by buying an Art from the artisan troupe for each of these clusters. you get 5, so you can have 5 of these clusters going with no real loss in Unity.

On building multiple gateways at once: build one construction ship per gateway. once the ship finishes building, double click the idle ship. It will be parked next to the partial gate. Start the finish stage, decommission the idle builder. Construction ships are very very cheap by the time you are looking at gate building, there is no reason to not have them be disposable per construction project, vs the early game of one constructor queuing up 5 star systems of mines. I typically put gates in all settled systems, choke points, fleet construction yards, and any systems that might be teraformed into colonized. I've managed to have 3-4 gates building at once, my biggest hindrance is Influence, even at 9+ a month, its one gate a year.

hobbesmaster posted:First tier of terraforming is to clear all the blockers. This. Weigh the cost and time of all the tile blockers, if you have the blocker tech, then if you need the planet now, or if years + energy is a fair trade. If you have gasses and liquids, the balance really shifts toward terraform. You can shift the planet back with another round of terraforming if it matters too much to you to not have off class planets colonized. You could if you want terraform off class worlds just to clear em, and drop droids on them. winterwerefox fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Jul 21, 2018 |

As far as building robots on a world, i think I would like to see a tag per planet or a global policy that says "Robot Workers (Mines)[*] || (Farms) [ ]" with however many jobs you think you want robot workers in. organic pops fill in those roles first, and robots build until they displace and replace all the roles you have checked off. Ones the jobs you want run by robots are filled, you stop making them on that world. You might need a template designation for (Farmer, Miner) for your bots, to tell the system build this, its a miner, build that its a farmer, fill my jobs. Beyond that, with synths and research bots, leader/unity bots, what have you, just add more designations and jobs to check off to be filled.

Baronjutter posted:Ok I hosed up bad and did the worst thing possible, I colonized a planet while an event that adds a trait to your species happens so now I have TWO meta-humans in my empire. Like 100 pops of "uplifted" meta-human and 11 who have spread out to 3 worlds of non-uplifted meta-humans. This is greatly upsetting my racist faction due to genetic impurity. How do I fix this? I've never been able to fix this, even with species-entries of identical traits. Apply base human template to the smaller population on all worlds. Then, when that is done, modify them to the majority population or uplifted meta humans

A thing to do as a good guy, is make friends but not Federate. Federations tend toward dumb wars that dont do things for you. Make non aggression pacts, attack any rear end in a top hat empires near you with liberation/ideology wars. Make them like you. Play as the belligerent and go to wars over morality, but dont make them your vassals. be a force for chaos. Edit: BaronJutter, what are you looking for in mods? Most of my subscription list is portrait packs.
