Because they constantly whine and rebel like stupid pieces of shits that they are after I conquer their planets in wars that their own empires started?
I wish there was an option to just tell them to completely fuck off the planet and give them to a planet owned by the losing empire. That planet gets some overpopulation/refugee debuff that drains resources/increases food consumption for some years depending on how many pops you kicked there and that's that.

I kinda wish the Sector Limit +1 technology instead gave you one more core planet instead.
Like there's a use to having more then 3 sectors max.

the biggest problem during the war was enemy fleets waltzing through my territory like through a park, and they gained random +1 warscore increases for hit and run attacks on my main fleet, as well as constantly occupying planets which I would have to take back. Question is, when I inveitably go to war with them again, how do I control their movement and win as fast as possible?

GalCiv3 lacks the efficient planetary management list that GalCiv2 had, making managing anything above 6 planets a massive pain and timesink.
The amount of clicks has increased too, making simple actions from GalCiv2 take twice as long in GalCiv3

It has prettier graphics.

Other then that its near identical to GalCiv2, but without any of the fun stuff that the expacs introduced; so no asteroid mining or terror stars.

I liked the campaign, but that was about it. GalCiv2 was better.

You can just give planets to a governor in GC3 , which is the less retarded way to do automation than sectors in stellaris.Still dont know why the used that retarded, buggy sector mechanic.
Also, the act of using an automated governor doesnt create independence movements like secotrs in stellaris do. Iautomation is both forced on you, and penalized.
Which is why most of us raise the core cap.Between that mod and the auto upgrade one,its a straight improvement to user experience.

>>144888524
224 pops? I forgot about it in the early game since the tech didn't pop up, and I've been going rather hard on terraforming and a 'humans first' policy.
I didn't think it'd be that bad though, the game is still early enough that I've only conquered my three nearest neighbors.

>>144888524
>>144888958

No wait are you fucking serious?

You don't see how it would be a bigger advantage than your mother to see a clear list of all colonizable planets, where you can list them by size and modifiers?
Instead you think it is just as good to click each individual system in the galaxy one by one to look through all the planets?

Maybe you are just retarded anon.

>>144891350
I think so. Plus, if you only allow original "humans" as leaders, then xeno humans will allmost always that debuff. The good news is, over time genetic traits can be passed between xeno humans and original humans, so eventually you will have xeno humans who are not considered "xeno" for the purposes of politics

But, that takes hundreds of years, and you need unrestricted migration, which can cause other problems

>>144892565

Are strategic resources fucked since the new patch?
Tried building some space port addons that require shit to maintain but it shows that I'm not using the resources and I'm not sure if the ships build there actually get the bonuses.
Also lost a betharian mine, build it back, and it still shows that I'm using it all up despite having my previous betharian power plant offline due to lack of resources.
Not even using sector bullshit or mods that fuck with the resources.

Did the new patch make the game good?

>>144891860
>you know about holding alt right?
You can toggle that option as well, but that is irrelevant since a list would be superior. You still have to go click on each system, and each planet in the galaxy to see the modifiers and planet sizes.
Holding Alt and looking over the galaxy shows you planets in different colors to show habitability, Hover over them and you get planet type.

Imagine you had a list like you could make in excel.
Where you sort by largest to smallest.
Then you see all the big worlds you want.
Or you sort them by modifers and you quickly see where the Mineral Rich planets are and where the stone age primitive planets are.

It is objectively faster to sort a list then go through every system.

Even if you saw size and modifiers by hovering over the systems like you see planet type, a list would still be superior since you wouldn't need to scour the galaxy to find what you want.

>>144892753
KNOW WHAT?!?

>>144892928
Maybe you build one too much?
It is not consumed until build so you can quene few when you have only one unit of strategic resources.
Or you have some on some annexed planet.

It's weird to think of gengeneered humans are xenos though. Do they really lose their voting and/or leadership rights?

if you can build up an economy without metal spots you can build up a stronger economy with mass farms and metal spots

if you can build 4 cities up to a massive size you can build 20 cities up to 5 times that size

"tall" should be a temporary advantage at best, where you focus on early power rather than expending your resources on a benefit that takes longer time to come in

>>144899375
that's not intrinsic encouragement, that's just not having a limiter, which will lead to ICS shit

which is the worst possible way to do things, make expansion incredibly powerful and provide zero hints that you MUST do it. great gameplay senpai

star ruler 2 says that you must use smaller colonies to support larger ones, but if you have too many small shitty colonies your economy will crash, 100/10 system which demands expansion of the player from day 1 and punishes you for not having a solid core to support it all from

just having no limit still means you can sit in one city building and not really notice anything is wrong until you get steamrolled with no feedback as to where it all went wrong

Not without other bonuses. Even then by the time you get the highest level of physics labs research isn't a problem.

>>144901550
Assuming the planet isn't you capital planet the most you can get out of them is 6 without other bonuses. The bonus is applied to the tiles and not the total output of the planet.

>>144902226
Yea it show me that they dislike purging and resettlement but I can't tell what their ethics have shifted to.

>>144902270
>Assuming the planet isn't you capital planet the most you can get out of them is 6 without other bonuses
I assumed Planetary Capitol, not Empire Capitol, so 4 from each lab.

>The bonus is applied to the tiles and not the total output of the planet.

Which doesn't matter because 4*1.1+4*1.1=8.8 just like 8*1.1=8.8

>>144902517
I think maybe pops may dislike those things unless they have certain ethics.

So with no ethics they still get mad about purging.

>>144902849
Can pops shift to just have no ethics at all? I hadn't considered that since I haven't seen it before.

>>144903064
Yeah I have some pops like that.

When you uplift presentients they start with no ethics as well, and you get events to pick between a few ethics.

I think it was mainly an issue in earlier patches, where ethics divergence shifted pops to have no ethics, instead of adopting new ones.

>>144903281
Well I have stacked some - ethics divergence so they better shape up fast or they are getting purged.

>>144904761

Which isn't the discussion.
The discussion is about how significant a 10% physics modifier on a planet is.
Planets have more than 1 tile which is the premise that have been discussed by both sides in the previous posts.


>Not planning on feeding those people?
Capitol and orbital with my current food modifiers is enough food for 10 pops.

I have a size 12 planet with 11 labs and no starvation.

Can I use the console to trigger a second and third crisis event?

Or do I need to mod the game first?

>>144905531
So we can gather that if you don't have modifiers for food it's not viable. We can also gather that the fact you can support a planet draining 27.5 energy you really don't need that research.

Viable meaning what?

Having more than 1 physics output from a 10% for a size 10 planet like what was previously discussed?

With no modifiers you'll be fine with two farms.
So 8*4*0.1=3.2
Instead of 3.6.
Still more than 1.

>We can also gather that the fact you can support a planet draining 27.5 energy you really don't need that research.

what mods for traits should I pick lads

>>144913164
Haven't really seen any good mods for traits yet.

They add more stuff, but they imbalance things too much.

Like Weak is the best trait since there's hardly no downside and it gives you an extra trait point.
After that it depends a bit on your playstyle, Sedentary doesn't have that much of a downside so maybe that one is safe.

With the trait mods though you have better negative trait point picks and it's like if you could pick weak 3 times instead.

I saw one that even had negative traits that gave +2 or +3 trait points.
Like fuck you can get Intelligent+Extreme Adaptability that way.
Or pick 4 negative traits with +2 or 3 points each and give you a lot of room to genemod later.

It's nice that they're trying though, but the current way of modding traits isn't that appealing to me.

>go make a new ship class
>have to name them myself

>>144917005
How is this a problem?
There's autodesign if you don't want to name the ship.

Just got two planets from a war. Look at my income. Should I sectorize to maximize income, or should I just keep the planets under my own control, that way I can ensure I get what I want.
Here's a breakdown of all my planets, from top to bottom

Size 16, planned to be a full mineral planet
Size 23, planned to be a full physics planet
Size 21, planned to be a full energy planet, half of the tiles have blockers
Size 20 planets, planned to be an engineering planet (has the 20% bonus)
Size 16 planet, planned to be a mining planet
Size 22 planet, planned to be a social research planet

Sectorize or not? This is pre clarke

Surely this is hugely inefficient, overriding planets natural resources. Why wouldn't it be better to just respect the base tiles, and use the blank tiles for whatever else.

>>144934773
And here I am, letting the game design all the ships for me...

>>144934676
Because Earthbound+Thrifty gives another +30% to energy.

I'm individualist, so I can't resettle pops, so I can't have the earthbounds on every energy tile on every planet, since I have no control over migration.

Also if I were to change their preferred habitat after uplifting them then they wouldn't keep the +20% happiness bonus, so even if it was an option to switch them around, they'd lose efficiency by working on planets they didn't like.

I have a limited number of leader slots which doesn't effect energy, but it does effect research output.
By having specialized research planets I can utilize the +50% research output from assist research better.

That'd be cool if there were technologies and buildings and actions that were unlocked with combos of certain ethics and would add an interesting layer to your government choices. It could also make going fanatical in an ethic worth it because right now there's zero reason to do it, it's just not worth missing out on another ethics unique buildings/modifiers.

ere we go ere we go ere we go

Is there some way of clearing tile blockers before landing the colony ship or do I need to settle for crappy adjacencies

>>144943547
Terramorfing.
Just land remove them and demolish ship shelter then rebuild it on new tile.

>>144943547
When you reach 5 pop, demolish the landed colony ship and build the planetary administration wherever you want.


...Had to do 7 captchas for that.

>>144943758
I never even thought of that, thanks

>>144944489
it's often good to replace the shelter as soon as you build farms for first pops, as it gives -10% divergence

Terraforming takes 10 years. I just genemod first colonists to the needed biome type.

It's pretty RTS-y and we aren't autistic so go on ahead m8

Also anons I want to make a totalitarian human empire but I don't want to just be the stereotypical imperium of man/space nazis. What are some unique ideas for a totalitarian space human empire? I'm not creative

>>144945897
>totalitarian empire
>unique

>>144945897
The game is too shallow to make anything unique at this point.

>>144945897
>we aren't autistic
we're just not cunts, also this general is slow as shit lately so >>144945436 yes this is a safe place anon

>sector missing resource
>have that resource
????

>>144946842
sectors need that resource in the sector. It may also be built somewhee else. Enjoy going thru all your planets to find it :^)

So what happens if I'm acquiring my resource via a trade deal?

For something that's made to reduce micromanaging I'm finding myself micromanaging sectors a fucking lot.

>via a trade deal?
I think only your core worlds can use it. Also if the building isnt built within the sector, and the sector has the resource, your core worlds can use the resource. Core worlds can use resource from your entire empire, sectors only from their sector. However if there are two building, one in core worlds, one in the sector and the resource is in the sector, the sector building will take priority.
