/civ4xg/ - Stellaris, Civilization & 4X Strategy General

I have a bugged leader

I wanted to replace my fleet leader with a new one because he's already 120 years old and now he is stuck in that fleet even though it claims the new one is busy in that fleet as well

and I placed the old one into several other fleets...

>>144188223
Kick him out is the only way to fix it

Does anyone have screenshots of crisis events?

Thanks Paraducks. For the first time ever you make a game that doesn't always look like a piece of shit and you still manage to ruin it with a messy UI that can't be turned off.

Also did they increase the rate admirals acquire traits?

>>144189369
Ask again when it's possible to afford wasting a surface tile on non-research or energy buildings without gimping your empire, and when spaceports and ground based defenses are actually worth their energy upkeep.

How do you manage resources?
Frontier Outposts?

>>144190074
1 big planet for energy 1 big planet for science and home planet for minerals

yeah, I have a couple outposts but I think I regret this already

I constantly struggle with energy because I have too many

fleet is only 100 energy but stations are 200... so I am thinking about destroying some stations... or maybe take a 4th planet and make it energy science hybrid...

why you do this paracucks

Now that corvettes have been nerfed, what are the most efficient fleets and with which sections/weapons?

>>144190909
Research your weapons and figure that shit out on your own

>>144190232
To punish you for your shitty memeblog.

>>144190216
How much have you done in physics research?
Got the weapons you want?

From your battle screenshot it looks like you're pretty powerful, so maybe you should expand more for energy/mineral and other kinds of research.

Maybe find proles/earthbounds to uplift for efficient nminerals and energy if you have the 2 +trait points tech in society.

BB/rangefinder y/n?
Also are there any actually good mods besides expanded war demands out there?

Is genetically enhanced still considered a difference race in 1.1?

>>144191269
Enhanced tooltip looked kind of neat, but after you've already played the game and studied the wiki maybe it's not that important.

By hovering Individualism it lists the unique buildings you get access to for example.

Curious to hear about civilian trade if anyone has tried it.

>>144189893
>and when spaceports and ground based defenses are actually worth their energy upkeep.
When they work. in MoO planets have stronger versions of shields and shields had flat damage reduction part so planets could be literally unpenetrable to anything but top tier weapons.

>>144191269
Beautiful Battles is neat, but all it does is scale the ships down and changes some ranges. Formation spacing stays the same, so ships are super tiny and very far apart.
It definitely makes for better scale, but I can barely see any of the ships in my fleet if I zoom in to watch the carnage.

Rangefinder I have not messed with.

>>144191337

exp war demands don't work for me on 1.1. Has it been updated? Every time I try to use one of the added demands the war never starts.

Yeah what?
BB is 8 fleet cap. Could be boosted to 5500 HP at 16.5% dodge. 823 EHP per 1 fleetcap
Corvette is 1 cap. Combat corvete is 600 HP at 55% dodge. 1330 EHP per 1 cap.
Shifter Tankvette is whooping 960 HP at 55%. 2133 EHP per 1 cap.

>>144191431
That is exactly the point.

It is ridiculously easy to take a planet, even though orbital bombardment does fuckall damage to population and structures.

Planets need to be harder to take, and it should be a meaningful strategic decision what kind of invasion I pull off.

Do I use surgical strikes and drop a batallion or three of Marauder-suited Mobile Infantry into the enemy capital, army command psts, etc., leaving most things intact?
Or do I carpet bomb a drop zone the size of Montana, land with ten Space Marine Legions and a Titan Legion or two and fuck their shit up?
Or do I combine both approaches?

The game mechanics to pull this off are actually in place, 'morale' damage and actual damage is simulated.

I know, I know.

I'd like it if they didn't necessarily engage in battle just because you landed.

Like you land armies, they take control of a few positions and then they fortify there or something, while waiting for more reinforcements and/or bombardments.

>>144192713

Desu crystal plating should just be removed from debris and armor tech split into ablative (+hp), reflective (+percentage reduction) and absorptive (+flat reduction) armor modules.

I'm new to this and have the basics down, i only have one autistic request and that's custom ship designs.
I am too retarded to search and there is too much shit,
my request is for someone to point me towards custom ship design mods and how they can be applied to a race of my choosing that i want to start with.
Don't like the Human ship designs, but would also like to see what custom fan made designs there are, just don't know where to look for this.

>>144193047
using 1.1?

New-ish (ie: just dicked around and learned some tutorial stuff, played a couple failed states) to the game. Building a race of militaristic, individualist materialist bird people with a military republic.

Can someone give me some advice towards building Influence? Every time I've messed around in game this seems to be my downfall.

>>144193278
nope, is that a bug?

>>144193297
Don't waste it. Influence is very limited resource. Only enact edicts and policies when you can afford them.
Don't overdo frontier outposts as they have have both high upfront cost and monthly upkeep. Dismantle them as soon as you don't need them.
Keep a reserve of at least 200 at all times so you can afford a frontier outpost if you need it.
Research the influence granting techs and build the empire capital complex as soon as you can as that gives bit more extra influence too.

I you like any of the in-game designs from images\units\ships you can go into races and change DesignsPictureFamilyIndex to whatever you want in human.txt, otherwise you'd have to go digging on the forums.
Also, I'd generally recommend using the AI improvement mod merged (drag and drop on top of it) with the Chrome UI mod.

>>144193812
Colonizing doesn't require influence.
Just don't rely on frontier outposts too much. They should be used to temporarily secure an area before you colonize it, secure far out strategic resources or otherwise extremely rich areas and holding key areas from enemy border push. They shouldn't be your way to expand.

Ah okay.
Still Earthbound+Thrifty for energy planets is nice.
They'll have +20% happiness for being uplifted as well.
I add strong to mine as well since earthbound gives +20% army damage. Not that armies are that important.

Any presentients except for proles can become decent researchers by adding Intelligent+Natural X, better than main race even on their preferred world due to the +20% happiness.

Natural Intellectuals can get even more society if you're lacking that and want more of it.

>When you click on a pop of a planet if you have -10% ethics divergence for capital world for example does it show as -1%?

If you have -10% ethics divergence modifier on a pop and there's a 1x multiplier to ethics divergence, it should be -10%. If you want a -10% ethics divergence to be -1% you'd want a 0.1% modifier which in defines.lua would be .001.

I thought resources get shared now
otherwise resources are still locked into sectors which don't utilize them. therefore there is no point in having rare resources at all. I thought this is fixed in 1.1. now. So I don't follow your conversation

>>144199932
StarSector is still being developed?
I'm impressed. Has the Mount&Blade (campaign) part of the game been developed or is it still stuck in the same system?
How's the game going?

>>144199571
I know I know anon, but it still doesn't work in-game, i've edited the defines.lua with Notepad++ in administrator mode and it just doesn't reflect ingame.

It's weird because I changed for example Core planets from 5 to 10 and it shows, but this doesn't, which makes me think they've touched the formula, something we can't access.

>>144200106

base game is still just a few systems, there are great mods that add some well done additional empires though.

Well, that's strange, because all my homeworld pops say they have -10% ethics divergence like they should, -10% for capital, -10 for content, +10 for free thought trait. Now, if what's being displayed is accurate I can't tell yet in my new game, but I have it displaying like it should.

I don't even understand why you'd have a base modifier to ethics divergence rate anyways, doesn't make any sense, the base rate is plenty, but expecting coherent design decisions from Paradox is like expecting is like expecting charity from a Jew.

Can you enslave an alien babe species in Stellaris and get a population boost from it?
I can't take a game seriously without this.

>>144198987

>Name 1 game where the AI actually gets smarter with increased difficulty.

I would at least expect some improvement to Paradox AIs over the course of all the games they made, but still the same retarded AI that can't field an army except to follow player ally armies around like a puppy dog, still can't use navies properly, and march around seemingly randomly and arbitrarily rather than pursuing war goals. You'd think over the course of however many strategy games they've done over the years that they'd improve even somewhat.

While my people are happy because they're xenophiles, I had a bad feeling about accepting that Migration Treaty from a neighbor shortly before becoming their ally.

After a short delay, they're now migrating at least 4-7 pops every year into my colonies. They have a bonus to Engineering at least, but their migration is currently exclusively targeting my Ringworld colonies. I can't purge them however as my people are Xenophiles and there's also a newly discovered Fallen Empire that hates purgers and slavers.

>>144201216
How do you niggers manage these fucking crops

>>144200574
Try something please, edit the defines.lua with notepad++ search for ethos_divergence and change the multiplier from 0.1 to 0.01, then in-game check if it worked, you should have 1% instead of 10% which was how the original release had it.

I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong.

>>144201410
But its actually into your favour. The enemy pops get faster assimilated and your heretics also if you get green ethics divergence.

Not trying to purge everything and deal with multiple population is so fucking garbage.
There's only one playstyle viable for the moment, and it's to play as spacezergs genociding everything and disregarding diplomacy almost entirely.

Pasted over a paste without actually checking how it turned out is how you get it to look terrible like that.

On a non-terrible crop related news, I've finally managed to push another neighbor of mine into hating me enough to declare war on me soon. They really didn't like me dropping colonies in their face and cutting off the bottom-left route out of their nation.

Since I'm playing a pacifist this game I can't go around being a warmonger, but I'd really like to have them join me one way or another (they already hate my guts for being an individualist).

>>144200106
The backend for a proper campaign layer is in but you basically need mods to populate the game with content.
Too bad the guy that was maintaining all the API extension mods and the framework for running many mods at once basically left.

The intention is that pops sort themselves out according to biome, but every planet fills up super-fast so there's never anywhere for them to go from or to.

its a neat idea implemented badly, doesnt scale, which it should fighting larger or smaller empires.

yeah Id imagine it like 100 = they cede all their planets, so each planet is then worth points based on how many planets they have vs 100 total points, vasselizing etc would be a little less than 100. Then when you fight youd get warscore points based on how decisive the battles are, so wiping out their entire current battle fleet should be worth alot, if they have few planets occupying one should be alot, if they have alot of planets occupying one would be comparitively less, weighted based on size, occupying their capital planet should always give a bonus.

>>144208282

There is nothing morally wrong with admitting that every person is unique and therefore has different traits (either inherited or acquired throughout their lifetime) The value of a human being isnt affected by how smart or capable they are in a specific situation in life.
Believing all people are exactly the same takes away their human-ness and turns them into random interchangable ants

EVERYONE SHOULD BE THE SAME

START CLONING

>>144208684
Therea no way, no proof.
Thats why leftists can argue equality of outcomes.

>>144208640
yeah just trying to figure a way that would avoid you having to set 10 sets of wargoals, and monitor 10 icons in the corner with percentages, probably need a simplified icon that tracks all your current wars averaged into one number, and then a screen where you can check each wars progress.

Alternatively when fighting an alliance you could chose a primary (or perhaps several) belligerants, and the rest are secondary and then they all count as one as grouping as far as warscore.

I want to go full-synthetic, but at the same time i don't want to go collectivist because i'd lose the +20% robot yeld edict.

im getting real tired of people calling people leftists, or conservatives, or /pol/ or what have you because those blanket dehumanizing labels allow you to conveniently assume that the person has a set of beliefs or ideas you disagree with and then just sweep them under the rug with the dirt.

>That doesn't mean stuff like "Obligatory % of the company has to be [Minority]" is equality
In practice it often does, though.

>>144209341
Xenophib democratic crusaders will be great danger as they are democratic and because of that they are susceptible to regime and politic change and they don't like you or any xenos. There is high change that voters decide that they suffer you enough or that some politic or party decide that war with you will be easy way to gain votes.
On the other hand honorbound warriors are dependable. They probably fight each other more than outsiders as their social structure rely on their battle skills but they need it to prove to each other. Less to some pacifist xenos. At worse they will see you as easy target at best(when you kick their ass) as worthy adversary or equal. Nothing worse that slavery will expect you. Its even big chance that even if you fail to fight them they will just tax you and move to look for other enemies and let you live and work in peace.
Having working pacifist subjects is actually great buff for any honorbound militarist. No worthy enemies but also no problem.

>get crystal plating
>proceed to rape face
These are too good. Normally you have to make tradeoffs between armor and shields, but with these, you don't need any power for protection and you might end up doubling your hull strength, which means your fleet is virtually twice the size when it comes down to opposing power needed to defeat it.

why is there nothing about addressing the glaring weapon imbalance, energy weapons are just Better, hi we ignore armor, armor >> shields, and if you have issues with shields we have a weapon that does comparable regular damage and 2x against shields. Also not affected by PD.. railguns and missiles can get fucked..

If you're something like Xenophile+Charismatic I can see it being very useful.

If genemodding, uplifting and robotics wasn't such viable alternatives I could see migration treaties being good to get specialized species into your empire.

Why?
Are there not roaming bands of Zulus murdering white farmers?

Is it even worth going for defensive computers anymore?
Corvettes and Destroyers don't really benefit that much from more health as most shots that hit them are overkill anyway, and bigger ships tend to have the hp to survive one or two hits by default.
Meanwhile aggressive computers give you the same damage buff, an extra speed boost, and an evasion chance which rather then a damage reduction completely avoids damage.

So unless you plan to fight several battles in a row with your fleet without repairing, it looks like aggressive computers are just plain better.

So lythuric refinieres and other space modules like that.

IT says ship modifier +something on them. Does this apply to any ships built there, or to all your ships?

>>144211859
Exactly.
Its niggers killing niggers, niggers putting niggers in charge when they have no idea what to do, niggers kicking whites from positions where there is no qualified nigger to do their job. After their kicked white pilots and mechanics their air force sit on ground and rust.

Saw some people in threads that don't know this

shift+left click to select a queue of movements
click the action on the bottom left hand side of the screen you wish to complete (survey, etc) and shift+left click all the ones you want to queue up

this works for research projects as well, but fleets even when set to hostile will move through systems, not just be a pain train rekking everything they come across

>>144212298
Only to ships build there, so only build the module to your BB spec base.

What are you, some kind of space racist n shiet

>>144212634
>shift+left click to select a queue of movements
This should be basic knowledge for anyone that plays strategy/tacics games
It's either shift or ctrl to do multiple things

They're breeding in public in orgies which most other species find kind repugnant?

There's no issue having both of those traits.
It is easily explained in various ways.

This is yet another example of sheltered and ignorant liberals. You are just as oblivious as the redneck working class you constantly berate.

Worse, you wont shut up about it.

On an aside, does anyone have a link for the robot race mod, didn't see it in the mega link.

>>144212127
Pacifist is better, you get bonuses to food and more embassies to negotiate migration access with foolish libtard empires.

>Because they have nothing left after the british ran off with the wealth of India
Absolute propaganda. If anything, British colonial rule turned an essentially feudal, agrarian society into an industrialized state. The problem arose when the new independent government turned to be socialists who heavily subsidized out-dated agrarian-age industries like handlooms because of "muh tradition", severly crippling the economy because they took away the incentive to innovate.

So, given that it's not in the OP links, where can we download Clarke?

>>144213279

>>144212828
Because gene modding would be way too powerful if that was the case.
Especially if you could add negative traits.

Question:
My fleet get generic names like "1st fleet" instead of custom names.
Is this a bug? I did a quick google search, but topics about it either have no post or just "works for me :v)" style replies

>>144211136
But indians are subhumans, like niggers, asians and well, every non-white let's be real.
