This game is great. Got hooked during the recent free weekend. Just discovered the magic of designing my own ships and it is hilarious. Corvette swarms are now mopping up CONTINGENCY fleets twice my strength.

Fister Roboto posted:Yeah this is exactly the problem I have with it. It's not just a random system, a lot of it is obfuscated for no reason. Literally the only way to influence what tech options you get is completely hidden from the player, unless they use mods or dig through the game files. I dare anyone to call this a good system. Yeah, like, I threw my back out immediately after buying this. Got ~100 hours in over two weeks. Great game but lovely tech system. I haven't played a game this much since Civ II as a kid and I'm missing their tech tree a lot right now.

Finally taking the Colossus for a whirl. Aliens keep declaring war just because I ate my neighbors a few centuries ago? Won't even let me send fleets to combat the prethoryn scourge? That's okay. I can just scrape the galaxy clean of habitable worlds instead. (mua ha ha)

I turned my event slider up too high. The Unbidden showed up in the 2450 with millions of points of ships. Next to my homeworld. (I've only got 4 colonies)

Is there a 'recommend solution' to the invincible fleet bug in Ironman mode? Ironman is starting to feel less 'no backsies' than 'unfixable bugs'

Just did the Horizon Signal event chain. The worm loves us, and we have loved the worm. I went for maximum cooperation so now every planet in Sol system is habitable and the sun is a black hole. This game's writing is just delightful.

Ugh, I just found a perfect little gated community -- Life-Seeded / Inward Perfection empires should have the option to spawn in something like that. Barricade the entrance then never come out.

Newbie here, too. My last game went swimmingly. Strategy was:
It was my first time building habitats like these --  -- and I developed a massive tech advantage. Game was Life-Seeded / Inward Perfection so I just secured a tiny area then built up my homeworld's support infrastructure.

Staltran posted:Are those housing districts? Why no research districts, not enough housing that way? (in case you don't know habitats get energy/mining/research districts if the planet they're orbiting has a corresponding deposit, and strategic resources let you build e.g. mote mines) Haha, oh. I see. I'll have to toy with those next game and see which style generates more research and gets up and running quicker.

Surrendering may kill your leader! I had no idea. I needed a route to prethoryn territory so I declared war then surrendered on my obstruction. At the treaty signing, they assassinated my immortal god-emperor. (A Colossus is building as we speak.) Accretionist fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Jul 21, 2019 |

And Tyler Too! posted:I should do a robot run eventually. Dunno why I've been skirting around it for so long. Robot runs are great. I'm doing my first Rogue Servitor run and the flavor text's hilarious. All biologics are, "bio-trophies," that you stick in, "organic paradise," domes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjbfU7XkPoQ Habitats support 'organic paradise' structures. I found a system I could build 9 habitats in. Gonna concentrate the galaxy's truculent host into the domes where they will lead richer, freer lives all watched over by machines of loving grace. Note: I was confused by the absence of Paradise Domes. There was a very recent patch change. There is now just one building for bio-trophies. It's all you need since a bio-trophy job now counts for both job and housing.

Leal posted:By paradise dome do you mean organic paradise? There is an upgrade to the organic sanctuary that you start with. Previously, housing and jobs were separate structures. "Paradise Domes," were upgraded Luxury Housing. Googling turned up nothing but older guides so this was throwing me off until I looked up the patch notes. P.S. "Paradise Domes," is a much funnier name and they should've kept it.

binge crotching posted:I just want a slider for number of specials (horror, wraith, dragon, etc), and a slider for space monster density. Crank both of them all the way to max, and maybe add a toggle for if they spawn in choke points or not. This is a good idea. Model it after the Civ games. Crank the slider up and now there's roving hostile aliens everywhere. They're setting up rudimentary bases which spawning patrols. You fight for every bit of territory, and have to defend every bit. That, uh, that would be good.

Once my empire grows my economy becomes extremely unstable and seems to randomly poo poo the bed causing a chain reaction where everything stops working. I had this happening, too, until I realized that I overlooked something: Manual transactions affect automatic transactions' sale/purchase price.

Is there a mod for 'planet template'? Like, a drop-down menu where I select a template then a progress bar fills over 3 hours. To avoid micro, I've never done a game with dozens and dozens of planets. It would be fun to build 50+ rings or colonize every planet in the galaxy except for the micro.

Impose Ideology can be pretty  Being the Chosen of Zarqlan always felt exploitive. Then my benefactors were overrun. Every system annexed. So I invaded using their own ships. Imposed egalitarian pacifism w/Inward Perfection and Agrarian Idyll. They got it all back and they're wiser than ever. Zarqlan Saves!

Guilliman posted:One of the devs has done some big improvements on the AI automatisation code using his spare project time for this update. Next to the industry districts and building overhaul It's the change I'm looking most forward to. I just want templates. Assign a template to a planet size then click 'auto' and that's it. And 'Greater Than Ourselves' should be an early game tech. As it stands, I don't like maps so large that I need more than ~5 planets. 10 is pushing it.

[Ring Origin] + [Horizon Event] is pretty good. Started in a multi-system. Had so many planets I became galactic emperor off one colonized system. Unfortunately, ring-dwellers don't get transformed for Tomb-world habitability. (Spoiler: The Interloper is repaired into a size 5 tomb world )
