one strategy I found while playing involves a standard hivemind and nihilistic acquisition. you declare war on someone, steal their pops, then farm their pops for food. for added funnies transfer all your livestock pops to a single planet, and build a crap ton of city districts to house them fully.

After consuming almost the entire galaxy, the Prethoryn Scourge collectively decided that trying to consume what remained in this galaxy, only to fail over and over and over again, was simply not worth the effort as they would start to expend the biomass they absorbed if they kept trying. So the swarm eventually left this galaxy, searching for new feeding grounds, leaving only dead worlds behind, drained of all life. For the first time in over a century, the Grand Recyclers left the confines of their heavily fortified borders and ventured into the empty galaxy, repopulating it with life using their own rapid growth as well as the Omnicodex, turning the galaxy into a lush, peaceful oasis amidst the dark, uncaring void. And while there was no indication that the Scourge would ever return, the great fleets of the Grand Recyclers remained ever vigilant, and the defenders of the galaxy patrol the stars until the end of time itself...

Yes! More weird ways to play Stellaris for the God of weird ways to play Stellaris! Why playing efficiently, why making good decisions, if it always leads to the very same results? IMHO, it is much more interesting to have a lot of different experiences from this game, than playing one exact empire over and over until hellish boredom overtakes everything, forcing you to abandon the game and never play it again. I am speaking about single player games, of course. If you decide to play ascetic legion hive mind in multiplayer, the other players would make a chop of you.

"Growth Required Scaling" would make a lot more sense if it would scale for each planet individually and not for the whole empire. If you have a large amount of pops it should make it faster to populate a new planet, but massively populated planets should get diminishing returns on growth, so your pops don't grow exponentially forever.

@RobBCactive 2 жыл бұрын

It's the anti-snowball factor slowing empire growth that people complain about, nevermind that huge empires with a hundred colonies to manage make the endgame laggy micro hell. You can defeat the crisis and be #1 on every measure with just 300 pops. But the pop spam habit takes less imagination and game knowledge

@tylerlambert8400 2 жыл бұрын

@@mso2013 no it doesn't. Having a large amount of pops increases the growth needed for every planet equally. So even a new planet will need the same pop growth as the capital to make a new pop.

@proxy4620 2 жыл бұрын

Does it work the same way for machine intelligence empires and lithoids?

@RobBCactive 2 жыл бұрын

@@tylerlambert8400 There is planet capacity where growth points are reduced when approached. The empire wide increase to points required to make a pop is there for game play reasons. If you don't want an anti-snowball factor and no brake on the most populous empires you can set the scaling to zero from the default x0.25.

@@omegaentertainment01 I never played hyperdrives before they made it mandatory. It seemed so bland and also kinda weird that everyone is stuck using randomly generated galactic railroads but i understand why, from a development and gameplay perspective, it was the right move. There was almost no way to actually balance the three against each other and wormhole was so disadvantaged that any wars fought had to either end immediately in a rapid victory or you’d just watch as fleets moved around areas you couldn’t go and then destroy your shit. Jump drives do kinda make me sad since they are 1) quite short range all things considered, 2) extremely painful to use making them only viable if both jump points are 150% safe, and 3) tied to an insanely long cool down. But it does amuse me that in some games you can jump drive from the edge of the galaxy to the L-cluster and avoid the need for L-gates once its discovered.
