2nd for Stellaris update and vegan sandwiches with plantoid

>>167965865
Mh, alright.

I think I'm gonna try using the Commonwealth of Man preset, I'm gonna change their FTL to warp though.

4th for ISB finally letting me turn xenos into money

>>167976823
This actually should be a option in Stellaris - having refineries that turn biomass(food) into minerals or energy.
Whole 2 and half resources really piss me off.

That's what I did. Just changed it to warp and gave them kinetics as starting weapons.

I like still having their backstory missions.

At least the ai built stuff to keep the cities that aren't the capital happy.

Though england came to be from a revolution with the US, 3-4 of my cities earlier wanted to leave and form the ottomans.

The day Stellaris become a fraction of a game SMAC was is the day I'll praise Paradox.

>>167978118
Better at shields, worse at armor. Overall equal

>>167978118
Not much of a difference really. I think statistically they're slightly better late game when you get kinetic artillery, but you can change over to that anyway.

Countering ship type makes a bigger difference. I just like the look of guns over lasers.

>>167978059
Yeah, they go looking for the lost sister ship of their colony vessel.

>You were able to capture all infantry in this game, only Colonel Burton was not able to be captured. Most of them have unused surrender animations and voices for surrendering. Each faction had their own way of capturing infantry:
>America used the flashbangs to collect prisoners of war. Some removed voices for the Ranger directly reference this. The POW truck took them to the detention camp, where they powered up the CIA Intelligence special power.
>China used stun bullets to collect prisoners of war, which were removed from the final game. The POW truck took them to the Propaganda Center, where they powered up the Defector special power. This special power, removed from the final game, converted enemy units to your side.
>The GLA used tranq darts to collect prisoners of war, which were removed from the final game. The POW truck took them to the Prison, a building which was completely removed from the final game. There, it powered up the Demoralize special power, which made enemy units fire at only one fourth their normal rate.

>>167981649
>Walls were planned for this game, just like in the first Command and Conquer game. They were removed, presumably because they needlessly slowed down an otherwise fast-paced game.
>There are various straight and corner pieces for walls for all factions, as well as selection pictures and tooltips. Presumably you would build the walls using the removed line build feature, which allowed you to build buildings along a straight line. Each faction got a specific wall; according to the tooltips which are left in the game, they were as follows:
>America got a security fence. It blocks vehicles from passing and triggers an alarm if enemy infantry tries to pass it.
>China got a concrete wall, which just plainly blocks troops from progressing.
>GLA got a burning barricade. This one does not really block anything, but the fire damages units passing by.

Fuck you for removing these. I like walls.

>>167989095
These things, they take time.

>>167989209
I unironically don't understand why they didn't put in at least a basic trade system

I mean they're happy to rip off plenty of other stuff from civ or sins of a solar empire, both of which have easily stealable trade mechanics, but the one thing their game needs more than anything else still isn't in it

FUCK. I wish the other ethics/government actually played differently, because as is there are only 2 builds in the game and choosing anything else cripples you for literally no benefit/fun. For example pic related is the best build in the game and any deviation from it hurts you.

Like, why did they make the bottom row have the best government forms, when it's available for everyone? Shouldn't you lock away the best governments behind shit ethics for balance (aka, how pacifist worked in the past)? This is driving me insane.

>>168007531
Oh come on 3.75 is best.

Sooooo...
Auto-cannons or plasma throwers?

I heard plasma throwers are the best thing of ever but right now it says my level 3 railguns are better, AND cheaper. Auto-complete gives me one of each, level 2 plasma, level 2 auto-cannon, and level 3 railgun.

And my auto-cannon gives my ship such a bigger "damage". My combat speed is pretty high so I can't imagine the difference between starting to fire at 40 distance as opposed to 20 being the selling point.

>>168005016
Well.

Talk about sub-fucking-optimized.
>Warp

>>167993638
The other one is way less dense so you need bigger shoes or you fall right to the core.

>>168009328
You typically want the longest range weapon to do kinetic and then everything else plasma. Short range kinetic weapons are a bit pointless. You use kinetics to strip the shield from range and plasma up close to cut the fuckers open. So Railgun, Plasma, Plasma.

>>168010403
Oh. I'll try that but my railguns only have 5 more range than plamsa. They do fire a bit faster so hopefully that makes the difference.

Also doing the corvette spam to see if that works. Pretty neat seeing the first few volleys completely miss. But then it's sad when the next one all connects and it explodes without a chance.

Would have been much better if resorts gave a steady income based on how much traffic they get.

Being "repurposed" doesn't sound all that comfy, no.

>>168022089
All the assets have been (supposedly) lost.
Meaning it would have to be reverse engineered which is too much effort for something which is not considered canon.

I would love a decent and faithful remake of Cata even if the only thing it did was gave it a less shit UI.
But I really don't want anyone to do a half-arsed stuffing another games ill fitting mechanics into it, like remastered.

>>168025126

can't help you there but there's usually some anon here that plays it.

Dogs are like humans. If they smile, they're usually okay.

If they try to bite you, they probably don't like you. Or they're zombies.

might as well just jerk him off instead

>>168028705
that just results in my hand bleeding. And thats pretty gay.

>>168028581
What the fuck.
Good thing you warned before, I was certain that jerkass was beating his cat.

>>168028808
bleeding due to dick barbs or due to claws?
because the barbs aren't tough enough to scratch your hand up
and you're stimulating his prostate to make him cum, that's still pretty gay

>>168028892
Naw man. thats just like helping your bro to turn pages on the hustler mag when his hands are in plaster. Thats not gay. Jerking another dude off is pretty gay.

spanking doesn't work for humans, and spanking your bro's also gay anyway

>>168029437
>spanking your bro's also gay anyway
Well, if it's in a sexual sense I can agree, but if you're doing it to teach him a lesson then I don't think it's gay.

>>168029494
but you're not spanking your cat to punish him, are you?

>>168034647
It's a shame most missiles are one-shot deals.
It is amazing weaving through a cloud of missiles like that, with stuff flying and tracking in all directions. But only 1 kind of missile can do that without diving into the tables and changing things. Pilum

And it is highly unlikely to change away from that because "muh balance!" in a single player game is apparently critical.

I'd much rather have shit flying all over the place from both sides.
Lots of fun.

Friendly reminder that Stellaris was done in spare time by mostly some interns and other monkeys for some quick cash that suppose to help new Hearts of Iron development(Paraducks one of the main titles).
It was expected to earn some money, test some features and check market(as Paradox was afraid touching space 4x games after SOtS II disaster - fuck you mecron) and share fate of similar fast made and fast abandoned games like Sengoku.

Surprisingly for Paracucks there is actually great need for good 4x space games and they hit gold mine.
That is why we get Wiz and other faggots flexing their muscles now(and why HoI and other games slow down). Its just Stellaris earn these fags a tons of money.

It can be modded so they all can happen and even when repelled they can happen again.

More I look at ethics, more they not make sense.
And now they change ethics that actually make sense.
Spiritualist - Materialist
Collectivist-Individualist
These are OK.
Militarist-Pacifist should be changed to Expansionist-Isolationist
and some traits should be added like Militarist Society, Warlike or Pacifist(which grant some bonuses)
Xenophobe-Xenophilia should change into Hierarchism(or Supremacy)-Egalitarianism with Xenophilia and Xenophobe made into traits
That would make much more sense.
You could have then Isolationist Collectivist Supremacy or Collectivist Expansionist Egalitarians with traits adding some more flavors.
Also there should be manpower so you can man ships by different species(with different bonuses) and traits affect fleet effectiveness.

>>168037957
Probably, I just find it weird that they make a perk deep in the tree that is so obviously unfathomably outclassed by other trees. I mean, you need to have a science officer that you put on a planet to assist research, and then, and only then, does it give you 10% increased happiness for that planet only.

It's a perk that is just so obviously underpowered because you do have a very direct means of comparison that I don't get how this happens in the first place. The rest of the tree doesn't sound great either, but at least they're effects where it may be harder to compare how useful they are.

I'm not sure it works like that.

generally vassalizing Fanatical Purifiers is a bad idea since they will never get along with you and are likely to just stab you in the back.

They're supposed to be the violent niggers of the galaxy, who's only value is to be a threat to yourself and neighbours.

although you can liberate them, changing their ethos, and then vassalize them, thats a better idea

hyperlanes and the best weapons are missiles

>>168050098
Warp for Exploration

Wormhole for Warfare

Hyperlane is shit don't use it.

I would prefer better mechanics for low tech/hard sf than mega-structures from the ass.
Only habitats make any sense and still you can put one on orbit of any not populated planet.
Whole 2 and half resource economy is shit and grid buildings on planets don't make sense.
>why the heck you need billion people operating a mine?
Do they are operate shovel or something?
>why asteroid mining and orbital manufacturing is so weak?
I would really like have upgrade able frontier stations
Planets should be mostly source of manpower

BTW Anyone know it is to possible to add buildings that give bonus when not manned?

>>168049791
Nope I want one planet vassalised spiritualist(no robot) fanatic xenophobes and then give them planet full of xenos(that I conquer) which they as fanatical purifers purge for me.
Empty planet go back to me with no xenos and no diplo penalty.
Only to make sure they not populate planet by their own.

90% happy with my pet destroyer.
Just need to replace the lance on the nose with either a railgun or a needler.
Then unlock augmented engines and swap them in for the injector, so it doesn't flame out every time someone sneezes near it.

This guy is right >>168050245
Hyperlanes are the best if you use hyperlanes only mod for anyone.
Other than that Warp is the best.

what game m8?

Frontier stations should produce influence rather than cost influence, and they should be significant military stations as well. I want everyone's borders to be pushing against each other.

>>168050608
Again, i'm not sure that will work, but i could be wrong.

Try it out and post results.

Don't have fanatical purifiers nearby.
Will try next time.
Annexing some primitives, and then releasing them as vassal when they comply to my purging ethics.
>yes master we just cleansed this planet.

I frequently fap to Sonic porn

I love Rouge, Amy and Cream

>>168051195

Real scale ringworlds and dyson spheres would be too OP.

>>168051195
I like feminized sonic. Especially is he is slutty/bimbo

>>168051658
Yeah, surface area of 3billion earths wouldnt translate well to balance.

>>168046463
Pacifist seems actually worth taking now though.

>>168051725
I like femsonic, there aren't enough pics of her. More Amy stuff would be good too.

Y'know, there are a few situations in Vox Populi where religion is just ridiculously OP. This is one of them. The graph for culture looks the same, by the way.
