Just trying to get the best bang for my buck here. I know there’s a ton of DLC, anyone have a list of ones you absolutely need? Or should I just aim for all of them?

Howdy all. I currently have “the flesh is weak” as an available research project. However, when I have a scientist assigned to research it, the time left to research continues to grow. For example, it will jump from 140 months left to 148 months left, while being actively researched. Am I doing something wrong?

Is this a bug or nah?

Good morning !

I recently downloaded the game on Xbox series X, and I finished the tutorial. I thought "nice game, but it's a bit buggy, and there are a lot of translation issues " (I play the french version )

I saw the "Beta version" so I thought the game had just come out. Then I searched online and saw that the console version is from 2019 ??

Is the console version being abandoned in some sort of endless beta version ?

Hello, I was thinking about getting this game but I'm afraid if it doesn't have this setting.

A couple of months ago I downloaded crusader Kings 3 and I couldn't play the game for this exact reason.

Before you tell me to adjust the tv settings I want to tell you that my tv is old and does not have the option to adjust it.

Here's a civilization that I occasionally play with but more often than not like to have as one of the NPC civilizations in my galaxies. Hopefully you see where I'm going with them in terms of theme, that having been said, how wouldnyou go about changing/improving them whilst still being consistent with their overall theme? Perhaps a change to some of their negative traits?

I'm trying to build a Forerunner empire and make the entire rest of the galaxy my subjects. A good half of the galaxy was just me completely by myself and a good 44 planets ( The entire west of the galaxy except the fallen empires. YES two!!! Remember that). The ally empire is completely to the east and no easy access to the west, and limited access to the south. I don't have the navy for it!! Maybe one but not two!

The enemy fleet was in range. Alarms were blaring ship wide and the panic of the crew was tangible. I had just started my shift, and as always I inspected the Tachyon Lance array. It was time to fire. Fighters had launched already, but it’d be nearly two weeks before they made it to the enemy formation. I entered the codes and spooled up the lance. I spent my entire 12 hour shift typing and aligning. Double checking that the gargantuan array wouldn’t misfire and incinerate the entire ship. Finally, the last beam focus array was in place. I pressed the big red button, and with an immense power fluctuation, the ship rocked as the tachyon lance fired. Trillions of joules of energy were sent hurdling through the blackness of space, and the fleet commander awaited with bated breath for news of its impact. I spent the next four shifts just monitoring the beam. Making sure the system was operating normally, and nothing was overheating. On day five, the beam powered down, and command announced with a triumphant joy, “The enemy corvette has been destroyed!” Yep. Me and seventy other people worked five days straight to fire the most powerful weapon the galaxy has seen to date to destroy a single corvette.

As like many of us, I can't wait to get my hands on First Contact and Paragons. Together with the fleet rework and Habitat changes, the near futur looks exciting to me.

Archeotec, cloaking, the empire council all the new traditions and civics.

My first run after the update will probably be a Archeotech Relictworld start. Maybe as a Technocratie.

for my next run I will probably use the pirat theme. I am thinking of a criminal heritage megacorp, with letters of marque, and using the emnity tradition.

What 's on your list?

I tried to be a ruthless overlord but it's too much work to be xenophobic. Even isolationist me needed a few xeno

Anyone happen to know when 3.6 comes out for console? I'm dying for the cordyceps trait/civic.

I recently started an empire. Got all the DLC today, should I restart a new empire or keep going? I just want to experience all the content. If I need to start over I’m okay with that.

Im stuck in a part of the tutorial which says press R3 to open “system view” or smth like that, but I don’t know what to do because when I press it it does nothing.

Hi so i bought stellaris expansion pass 6 on ps 4 wich included the first contact but nowhere in the game i can find the dlc not even in store the yet it cleqrly says its part of the expansiom the toxoids dls works fine along with the portraits but the others won t even appear. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I feel specially dry today, got my first towel 😎

As I was making a new empire I was reading the salvagers civic and it says it can sometimes salvage ships from the scrap, Does this include escorts and battlecruisers or even FE Titans? Or is it not possible because blah blah fallen empire advanced too much I don't know how to command these ships, Genuinely asking though as the only other post that asked this had no questions (Will look into it myself and will update with my findings)

Has anyone found a fix for game saves that won't load? I've had two games in a row on Ironman go bad near the end of the mid-game period. It's really frustrating when it's already bogged down to the point it takes nearly an hour for a year to pass, only for the whole playthrough to go belly up.

Hello, I have a question. A friend of mine bought the Apocalypse DLC and we are wondering if only he has access to Titans and Colossus ships when he hosts or if I have access to them too.

Im not an ultra experienced mangament game guy. I played very very few, like all my experience was rimworld and clash of clans lol. But because of rimworld and how much i liked it i decided to get another strategy game and stellaris caught my attention because of a meme on helldivers sub.

Discovered it a week ago saw a couple of reviews and decided that it might be interesting. The main reason i wanted to get it is because i like playing on ps5 more than my pc but because i played rimworld on pc with the expansions its hard for me to justify why to get a worse version thats more expensive. I dont know why but it just gave me those vibes, i know it is not rimwolrd and i have more interest than just those vibes but idk, its one of those games i saw, have no idea about but liked it for some reason. I am waiting for a discount on the deluxe edition (has utopia, and utopia seems to be a big deal).

I like Sci fi even if i dont see much, and i felt like this was a great oportunity to get into a game genre i barely touched and into a genre i underlook. Any tips for my first 4X game?

So as I was playing a game of Stellaris I found an empire that I subjected, later I was trying to figure out their origin because why not, and for some reason it was "Enlightened, I never enlightened this empire and shortly after meeting them I asked for communications, Do pre-Ftl empires become enlightened no matter what even if it naturally evolved?

Every time I join the lobby the game flashes a text box that says "Paradox Account disconnected" or something like that and then fully closes the game. Really annoying and would love a potential fix. I've tried reinstalling, clearing all data, making a new paradox account, changing internet connections and I'm out of ideas. Any advice is appreciated 😮‍💨

So, I'm trying to change ny gameplay a bit and I wanted to try more diplomatic empire as I've heard people just request to be your subject, but im wondering how? For my first tradition I got discovery and for my perk consecrated worlds but I can get something new rn, what should I do?

What settings should I use for a fast and easy game to scratch my 4x itch on console, base gamepass version. Plan to just relax and try streaming it.

Hi, I have 2 questions.

1 - are corvettes with nukes still op as hell and decent enough ship fleet build? obviously still having a few higher tier ships destroyer/cruiser/battleship here and there but main bulk being corvettes with nukes. does point defence still hard counter nukes or no? note: i usually only play on admiral or grand admiral for reference.

2 - cant seem to get peacekeeper achievement/trophy. is there a trick to getting this easily? cant seem to scum it by starting game with myself and 4 other pacifist empires it just doesnt unlock. i am starting with ironman mode.

im playing on xbox one x and i havent played in about 8 months not sure if any updates have changed meta or whats op or not regarding number 1.

tia.

I’m the kind of player who will go back to old saves if I feel like I made a big enough mistake, so I use Iron Man mode in Stellaris so that I’m forced to pay attention. It helps keep the game fresh after all these years and in many cases, makes for some good immersion.

And then, in some cases, where you get a little too greedy and you figure that 33% odds aren’t that bad, you get reminded that the universe does not take a light hand with fools (of course, I’m talking about the Dimensional Horror and the lolz you get for trying to show off pieces of it on your homeworld).

I put myself in a situation where I lost my capital in an empire with only a few planets because I got myself cut off in a spiral arm by neighboring friendly empires. To top it all off, it was my research planet.

Then, because why not, it set my new capital as the frontier planet in the far reaches, with no starbase, and most of my trade routes broken.

What was it I said about how the universe treats fools?

Anyhow, thanks to iron man, I’m dealing with my folly, but it’s given me good challenges to work around and RP reasons to begin delving into terraforming, robotics, and genetics.

tldr; Iron Man mode makes for the most interesting gameplay; I’d never do Stellaris with it turned off - or I at least probably would’ve stopped playing a long time ago.

relatively new to this game (i know a the basics) and i’m having a really hard time managing my economy as well as my fleets. i have three questions

Any tips on getting a solid production going for alloys, energy, minerals, consumer goods? i find myself every game even with tons of planets not getting good production of these materials

My fleet upkeep is driving me nuts, i finally get a solid fleet that to me doesn’t even seem that big compared to some people i see play this game and they cost unreal upkeep costs. having a hard time not running out of energy credits!

Also, my planets are revolting every. single. game how can i fix that?
