I'm playing authoritarian so I can scoot people out of my habitats, but I can't build colony ships for the 3 other species of the other nations I've been buttering up and I've lucked into 3 non-FE Gaia Worlds ready to go. Have you checked the species rights and also tried to build the colony ship from the target planet?

Guilliman posted:Now onto crashing; rarely (and I mean rarely) will a script event cause a crash. Most crashes I've encounter/read/saw are caused by graphics parts (ui, ship models, portraits mods, shaders). I'm not sure to what extend that naming (name lists etc) can destabilise a game. Judging from the mod lists it could be an odd combination of things (sorry this isnt helpful I know). Short of making a test save, and disabling one mod, load save, see if it crashes and repeat I don't think there's a way to learn which mod is crashing it. You could do it much faster by enabling/disabling half the mods at once, then (if it doesn’t crash) enabling half of what’s just been disabled or (if it does crash) disabling half of what’s just been enabled, i.e standard binary search procedures.

And Tyler Too! posted:Warfare in Stellaris is a total shitshow unless you're playing as a a genocidal empire (Devouring Swarm, Fanatic Purifiers, Determined Exterminators, or Terravores) because they completely do away with the dumbass claims/casus belli system. You pick a target, click the war button, and go straight to slaughtering without having to drain all of your influence. The halfway mark is Driven Assimilators, which can engage in diplomacy at a hefty penalty but also have the total war cb. Or, yeah, Colossus Project.

ZypherIM posted:One big benefit to psionics is (unless I'm remembering something just completely wrong here) that you don't have to spend any time/research beefing up your pops. So you basically get an immediate power boost, which can give you a leg up in that mid game time. Psionic ascension is the lowest maintenance. Just “boom, all our pops are better, no projects to research. Hit the slot machine shroud every so often.” It can get slightly more fiddly if you want to psionicize every species, but it’s still less annoying than having meat bags immigrate to your empire after synthing. And bio is incredibly annoying.

CapnAndy posted:Because if you set Default Rights to Assimilation, everything else hard-locks to "doesn't loving matter, pop won't do anything because it's waiting to be borged", and if you don't, there's no way to cyborgify naturals who weren't present for the initial Flesh Is Weak event without going down the species tab and doing it one by one for every natural species variant. But if you do, since Default Rights now only deal with the pre-assimilated, if you want to change living conditions or literally anything else, you've got to go down the species tab and do it one by one for every single species and every species variant. Fun! Same for Psychics. And if you want to uplift any new conquests? Have fun wrecking your economy!

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:"Piracy" which "builds up over time" causing bloodthirsty fleets of genocidal ships to spawn that go on a descructive rampage, then sit there waiting to die isnt motherfucking "piracy". It never should have been a thing and should have been removed by now. It forces you to either micromanage patrol fleets or daisychain your starbases across the galaxy just to avoid the stupid mechanic. I only play the daisy chain star base way, which is fine. I only have minor issues after a massive war and then everything’s good again.

Staltran posted:It's only less fiddly than genetic if you can't stop yourself from fiddling with genetic. Just make one template and apply it to the whole species. Make planet class variants if you really want to. It’s one template per species, that has to be reapplied whenever new pops immigrate or are conquered for each species. Psionics I can just set to “assimilate.” I do try Cyborgs now and again, and they are fine (they also have the “assimilate” option), but I just feel like I’m missing something not pushing all the way to synthetic ascension, and I don’t enjoy synthetic ascension. Maybe I’ll give Bio another shot.

Which is very possible on high (but not 100% ofc) habitability planets, of course, but outside of that specific niche I doubt they're worth it even now. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3850079&pagenumber=1349&perpage=40&highlight=5#post514404641 ulmont fucked around with this message at 01:00 on May 3, 2021 |

So...when you research synths, you can download stored mind scans into them. If you do that, the next choice lets them colonize an uncolonized habitable planet in your borders. You know what that event doesn't check? If it's about to settle a holy world of a fallen empire...

As with most other things in the game that offer a potential reward but take work or have a risk of failure, I instead just take the safe option because the cost of failure (losing a colony) is far too high. ...but it's not, is the point. Just don't push the button until you have a 1k army to park on the planet.

And you can raise generals but armies are not particularly well integrated (although the descriptions of the higher level armies are very cool) and essentially you build a brick of around 2k army power and then that’s your army, you move it from planet to planet to invade during wars and reinforce periodically.

Gateway Construction requires mega-engineering (is that new?), so you should be getting the other non-Galactic Wonders megastructures around the same time as (non-restored) gateways. Can’t afford the influence for the other megastructures until you’re done spending it on gateways, at least in my experience.

Staltran posted:Just how many gateways are you building? It's only 100 influence each I think, and at that point of the game you don't have much else to spend influence on. Plus you probably get Ascension Theory before Mega-Engineering (depending on how much genetic modification you're doing, I suppose), so you can turn on Will To Power for the +5 influence/month. Even if you don't have Ascension Theory yet you're probably not far from it. About 10 gateways usually with about 5 before I turn to other structures.

Zane posted:i haven't bought it but a lot of people are saying the espionage interactions aren't powerful enough. Espionage sucks because, at a minimum, all of the information I used to be able to see about other empires regarding why they like/hate me and relative strengths are now gated behind having a sufficient information level on the opponent, which requires a) sending envoys b) having a massive tech lead and c) against fallen empires and gestalts you can go gently caress yourself. So at best it’s a click tax and at worst it just steals info from me on that front. …haven’t tested any of the other interactions because I could never build up enough visibility to get back to where I wanted to be before branching out… I do like the new planetary carrying capacity piece though. ulmont fucked around with this message at 05:59 on May 21, 2021 |
