A new build already! You just jumped out of nowhere with great explanations for why you're picking things and why that makes the build work well. Looking forward to more!

Now *this* is a build. Didn't expect it based on a Democratic government instead of an Oligarchy.

"Well, Men. We did it. we've researched out to build a dyson sphere. Now we just need to build it" "Sir, we are -874 consumer goods a month, and +12 alloys a month, where are we going to get the resources to build it?"

Very nice! I appreciate the detailed breakdowns as well. I think the most important part of this game is decision making, so you explaining each decision and thought process is just as valuable as the build idea itself. Looking forward to the next one!

Really appreciate the structure and focus of this build guide. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Love the videos. Im hyped to see mote content like this, your doing this really well! Good and clear tips and explanations, cool builds. Love this!!

This video takes me back to the days of stefan anon. Clear, concise and simplistic. Every step is made clear, thank you so much :)

Welcome to the Stellaris community! You definitely deserved my like and subscription 👍🏽

Councilors *stack* tech weight bonuses with Technocracy now?? My god, I hope they keep that in the way it is. This is incredible, thank you for showing me this.

good build tutorial bro! so easy to follow and very understandable. keep it up!

Very solid video :3 It's nice to see a new build channel doing some interesting stuff.

Great job, clean and straight to the point with a voice that is some how fitting to boot lol

Didnt know repairing the shattered ring counted to get the ascension perk. Will try something similar to this soon.

Rooting for you brotha! Keep grinding out videos and you'll start gaining traction very soon. Cheers, and thanks for the guide!

Best Stellaris channel Ive seen. You deserve so many more subs.

Really awesome builds and channel! Thank you bro!

This build looks fun, might try it out. Thanks.

Look forward for a determine exterminator build, subbed 🎉

Nice video! This is very similar to my play style.

The improvement to the AI voice was significant in this next video. Keep up the good work!

This gives me some ideas. I am going to try this with lithoid (quick learner, intelligent, incubator) + void dweller + eager explorers & technocracy, and otherwise do it the same as you. Void dweller start + eager explorer start should accelerate getting the needed techs, as will having early research habs. Pop-wise, with lithoid you can still settle every planet with only a bit of effort into improving habitability.

I would probably still go oligarchy for the effective councillor skill but this is cool

wouldn't it be better to take masterful crafters first and add meritocracy later? With meritocracy being a scaling bonus, it's less useful early on, whereas trade value, cg and building slots are all vital from the get-go, especially with shattered ring. Depending on how the early game goes you could build to either 3 or 6 industry districts on the first ring section, getting the ball rolling on that alloy accumulation, and those districts can be turned into housing districts later when you have more pops and are ready to upgrade the research labs. Additional alloys from additional indy districts also allows you to clear the -hab blockers earlier, and gives you more chances to upgrade starbases where and when you need them, not to mention habitats also what do you think about the unyielding tradition for people without the dlc ie access to the aptitude line? really well made video, great insights, thanks! 🙏

The Ring. Again! Nice.

meecantile instead of dicovery to get consumer benefits trade law would be better in my opinion. You can dedicate the 2nd ring section as a trsde world and you dont have to worry about your economy collspsing

what mod is that you're using for seeing the tech tiers?

Did a couple of quick searches. I don't see that "Charisma" leader trait directly increases the chance for a void craft scientist. Did I hear that correctly? @ 1:40 seconds? Please explain.

love your build and explanations too, say great AI do you now a good build for rouge servitors? i have seen them in many Tournament but i cant find a guide to play them.

Oh, this is a wonderful build! Just a question, how did you get the Psionics trait as a Materialist? Did you switch out of the ethic, or just got very luck with the anomalies?

Loved the vid! What are the mods you use to show the tech trees?

Shatter Ring is one of my favs after the huge nerf but I play it a bit different: I go for fan egalitarian/materialist, racial traits are the same (including incubators) but for civics I use Parlamentary system and tecnocracy (of course) the third one depends on the game (usually: beacon of liberty, meritocracy or master crafters) I have a question though: How do you got psionic theory so early? being a materialist is terribly hard to get no?

What is the mod that lists technologies that this one leads to in the tooltip? I struggled finding it on my own to no avail(

How did he get the psionic ascension perk in the second slot? Don't you need 2 ascension perks before you can take it?

I'm start to think about similar enginering build for synteticks rush)

I wanted to try this build, but technocracy doesn't unlock council spots nor does it add an additional trail. Am I doing something wrong?

Dude, whoever's doing the narration is absolutely great. I'd listen to audio books in this voice all day long.

Wait are you building one science ship before the two colony ships and then another science ship?

This voice reminds me of an audio book, "first of my kind" by Marc Stevens narrated by, Ramon De Ocampo.

Is it just me or does this guy sound like Martin Sheen? Love the build btw, thanks :)

How the heck did you get psionic theory so fast?

are your videos recorded on a lower res than 1080p? or is it the upload to YT?

works great in theory, but my game ran for 150 years and i never saw a single voidcraft scientist

Would this build be good for a one system challenge?

What mod are you using to see the details on the research options? (hope im not just a dumbass and its some keybind)

Good Build. Specialists = Scientists.

Problem i am facing is that on a shattered ring there are only 2 segments that you can use. One you start at and one is available for colonisation. For the 3rd you need megastructures technologie. And it comes late in game so how does he says to use it in the beginning of the game?

Wait, Psionics as materialist? How would you make that consistent? Did something change from previous versions?

yeah, for that amount of time I can rush trade league and farm 20-30k trade value per planet counting as how many Dyson spheres ?

Good build, but you are going to get mega engineering by year 65-75 anyway, if you are playing correctly, wouldn't it be better to prioritise repeatable specialists, like particles , propulsion or military theory? I did a run where I had over 500% research speed in physics and by year 400, I had repeatable 65 in attacked speed and repeatable 50 in damage.

what are counsels?? i dont think they have that is consol edition

Can anyone explain why sometimes my energy goes from +500 to -500 and my minerals does the same as well for no apparent reason and if there is i cant seem to figure out why?

i don’t see how the psionic part contributes to the whole strategy. Can u explain the why here?

what mod allows you to see the tech tree path? at 5:42

In my most recent game I can't colonize the other ring sections. They need to be repaired like regular destroyed megastructures instead of the blockers.

It's probably less difficult and more powerful to rush ecumenopolis

5:39 - what is that mod? Cuz I need it

How are we reliably getting psionics as a materialist, am I missing something?

4:50 Robotic Workers

Is incubator available for console?

What year did you get megastructures?

I don't know if it's my headphones, but this makes me feel like I'm being yelled at by a drill sergeant for sucking at this game

You have an amazing voice. I just like to watch those just for the voice 😅

I think my shattered ring is broken lol I don't get 2 segments to colonize only 1. Settings is set to 2 lol

Why the hell is your mic quality so good?!?

i feel shattered ring should have innate bonus to rolling the techs

I would watch 1000 of these. I would love if you could add some very minor RP elements to each of your builds. Just one of two pieces of lore!

Are you using a TTS bot? Your voice sounds very similar to one I've used in the past.

I would repleace technocracy with parlimentary system and go fanatic egalitarian, later on if you really want that 5th sciencist in the government you can always reform the goverment. This strategy (if you use academic privlege) gives you insane amounts of unity, more than even spiritualists.

why am i feeling like ben shapiro is telling me how wrong i was playing stellaris until now ?

Has anyone ever told you that you sound like the Elusive Man?

soulless machine

The AI voice is crazy 😂

the major problem with this build is that going so heavy in research means you will need a dedicated factory world, which you are not producing the alloys to actually build the damn thing. Your economy is going to be so bad and you won't really have the means to field a fleet to defend yourself from all those militarist neighbors you have that just hates your guts for no reason at all. You'd be force to submit yourself as a vessel and surrender 30% of your economy that you don't have. Unless you are playing on civilian or get really luck this won't work.

whats is wrong with video quality? how do you watch this?

Not this exact build, but just a comment: I have shattered ring origin, 1 citadel, 5 star-fortresses, 8 other starbases, ruined strategic coordination center within my borders, a void craft head of science with 35% chance to get a voidcraft tech, I have had citadel, battleships, and zero point power technologies for 35 years. I have been pumping out engineering techs. Still nothing. This is why (after 500 games of stellaris) I have never built a dyson sphere, matter decompressor or ring world. Games are over by the time I might see the tech.

A.I voice lol

Cool build, but is very RNG.

Doens't work well. In my huble opinion you need to have a lot of luck... I tryed this build 5 times and always get humiliatet at year 30-40 because Pacifist sucks 😀

These tech rush builds have one tiny problem. You're gonna get absolutely rekt by your neighbors, unless you just happen to spawn among happy xenophilic federation builders... Which doesn't really happen. Any aggressive empire nearby will punish you severely for not pursuing weapon tech.

You sound a bit like Ben Shapiro

Nice guide, but i have just one ring part to colonize, not two

Rip to all chodes playing time gated games in 2023.
