Stellaris - Ocean Paradise Mechanics (With a Chonker of a Planet)

Ocean Paradise is one of the two Origins included with the Aquatics pack and is great for setting the scene for your empire. Is it particularly powerful? No. Is it a fun spin on the idea of building an empire? Absolutely! So join me on a wonderful adventure in the cold void of space, as well as the depth of the somehow inflatable planet.

The video glosses over the guarenteed nebula. With it you can go for the engineering tech that gives nebula refineries. Build your starbases in the nebula's for the juicy non-worker mineral income. With all the other space rocks you mine you're good to go. - catalytic processing for alloys on food - anglers and mercantile for CG and energy - selling excess food income on the market for energy With this set up you only need to build food and housing districts on the main planet. Later on off-worlding alloy production to other worlds.

@Grothgerek 2 жыл бұрын

Why should you ever skip a planet? Especially since admin cap now also uses districts and pop, in addition with the new growth rates making it harder to fill huge worlds. (And even with the old growth rates, I settle every planet, because growth is based on planets not on pops). If you use the right civics, than having many small planets is even better, because you get more ruler jobs. There aren't really any advantages of having big planets...

Anglers, agrarian and catalysts is silly broken. you basically start with +30 or more for energy, food, consumer goods and alloys per month. make your pops strong or very strong and this goes out of control very fast. also, utopian abundance lifestyle means you can have as many unemployed as you want with no problem at all. you do not need to do any science and it actually is cheaper that way. and of course, going robots is still broken for a race with limited habitability issues. you don't even need to ascend. just make robots settle planets and work for you. untill you can get terraforming. then you can terraform those worlds, keep the robots and still settle over.

I feel like I'm missing something here. So the ice planets and asteroids are used to upgrade your planets, to a maximum of 3 times. So once you have all of your planets increased, do you need to keep the ice mines? And can they actually run out. For example, a frozen world gives you 3 upgrades, so let's say you upgraded your capital 3 times, does that mean you can't upgrade anything else because those 3 were used? And you now need to find more?

realistically the limiting factor for any galactic colonization should be the long term effects of differences in the constant effects of gravity exerted by the colonized celestial bodies compared to the homeworld therefore if we were to encounter real aliens they would probably be aquatic because living in water reduces the effects of gravitational forces on biological lifeforms allowing then to expand to celestial bodies of different sizes without as much of a consequence as non aquatic life forms
