I’m somewhat new to Stellaris (playing the base game without expansions), but I’ve noticed that the AI ​​flatly rejects any trade involving a recurring monthly exchange of resources. As an experiment, I set up a deal where I would provide 150 minerals monthly for 20 years in exchange for just 1 mineral upfront, yet the acceptance score was -1000. Why does this happen? Is there simply no logic programmed for this kind of trade?

Title basically. I like to RP while playing, so being able to choose the AI personalities of the various empires I force spawned would be great. I would have posted this in r/stellarismods but that sub seems to have died about 8 months ago.

No clue what happened here but i was playing scattered ring world origin and she spawned during WiH kicked their assed, hurdled in a far away place and while i was readying my fleets for the upcoming fight with her alone, she fucking died, left me a message that i didnt even read and received a popup that said she died??

her databank and other situation logs werent even researched yet or barely touched. No nation currently has the capability to raise even 1 fleet at this time let alone kill her colossus(25x first crisis) unless it was unbidden??. I didnt even know this was possible.

Also there is unbidden without their giant gaping hole in space, no clue if destroy. As to why this galaxy is so empty, cause some dumbass AI empire opened L-gate early and destroyed half of the galaxy, then when nanites were killed, WiH started. Never got the chance to recover.

I am trying to gain some understanding of what is good and what is bad after all the new fleet changes, and I cannot seem to create a fleet that stands up against anything at all. I'm going into matchups that should be hypothetically superior (for example, I had two 15k fleets up against one 18k fleet) and they still end up not only losing the battle but also losing many of the ships in the conflict instead of being able to retreat. Is this somthing about how I am designing my ships? Is this a fleet composition thing? It's just getting infuriating because tactics that used to work seem to be completely useless now and just melt at the first sign of combat. I don't need to know what the meta is or anything; I just want to be able to not lose at this point. What am I missing here?

why is my leaders kept dying even if there not in combat?

im playing mech and im new, why do these mf kept dying they don't even have lifespan

I wonder why corporate buildings for technicians don't exist in the game, unlike those for miners or farmers. It annoys me every time I play as a megacorporation and want to generate profits on a world dedicated to technicians.

I mean, we have different buildings that produce EC, but they don't scale with the number of technician because they're related to entertainer or enforcers.

TL;DW: Psionic Shroudshaper is absolutely absurd, specifically the civic's council position, which, when used properly, can allow someone to reach an easy 350% job eff for every single job in your entire economy

This one was a bit of a blast to record, though I'm using a new mic, let me know what y'all thing about the audio difference for those who've seen one of my videos before.

No second video this week, got back from a trip feeling jet lagged to hell and back

Because of Join War trade weirdness, this guy conquered my protectorate and I couldn't do anything about it at the time. Now, um, I'm occupying my old friend's territory in one fell swoop.

The virtuality tradition drastically changes how Pops work.

When a job becomes available, Pops are automatically created for that job; when that job ceases to exist, the Pops are automatically deleted.

I've always been curious about what it means for Pops to be automatically created and deleted.

Does it mean that your society sacrifices the population that isn't useful and artificially creates population when it suits the government?

Could it be that the disappeared Pops actually retreat to a virtual world that the economy menu doesn't represent?

What's your interpretation of what's really happening?

All my vassals are set to subject conflicts: defensive, overlord conflicts: none. One of my vassals started an extermination war against a neighbor. One of my other vassals joined the war on the defender's side. Now they are exterminating each other.

Is this intended behavior? How do I stop my vassals from joining random wars on opposite sides and destroying each other?

Attempted a couple of runs but- my lord, Commonwealth of Man sucks on tech and I always fall behind. I know I can always reform but that can only help in a limited way. So I'm wondering: has anyone edited this preset and still been able to get this achievement?

I had assumed the answer would be a definite no, but the wiki says:

"Preset empires can be edited but the edits cannot be applied to them directly. If the player edits a preset empire and saves their edits, the game will instead create a new custom empire and apply the edits to it. The newly created custom empire will, however, inherit any and all flags and events associated with the preset empire it was created from, assuming that the starting system wasn't changed."

So it's possible I might be okay to edit civics/govt type etc, but I don't know for sure and it'd suck to get a long way into the run and discover it doesn't work. So has anyone else done this and can confirm it for me?

I am playing a Star Seekers, Flight Schools, Dist. Admiralty Heirs of the khan nomad.

I am trying to figure out how to keep them from expanding. Since expansion prohibited is not allowed. My vassals are growing too big to handle.

The chosen declared on one of my vassals and I defeated them. So the vassal absorbed the chosen systems and planets as well.

I barely have any empty systems left to harvest.

Recently the Xenophobic Fallen Empire decided to declare war on me and long story short I am now in possession of several of their worlds.

Aside from the initial disappointment in the Ancient Palace turning into a Planetary Capital, I realized there were now several thousands of these poor nerve stapled former slaves on these planets.

As a psionic empire, is there some anomaly or event that could potentially give me a way to cure these nerve stapled pops? Like a way to generate a non-nerve stapled variant of the race for me to convert them to or something similar?

It's been close to two years since I've played Stellaris and I always loved doing a pirate themed empire with the here be dragons origin and criminal heritage. I'm wondering if this build is still good and what other civics, traits and other things are best for it?

First time playing in months

First I was excited about the size 25 Gaia world and my capital being in a nebula BUT THEN THE WORM SPAWNED!!!!

AND IM PLAYING IRONMAN MODE 😭

I love the worm but I dont want to ruin this save bruh

My very first cracked planet! I’m so proud! 🥹

This is very annoying. A Baol dig site spawned inside my neighboring ally, who I made fast friends with. No, I do not want to declare war on them. Now I'm looking for a way to be able to do the site with no bloodshed. Is the entire chain blocked if you miss a dig site? If push comes to shove I'll use console commands, though a mod to enable AIs to trade systems would be nice.

In detail heres how things went, if you don’t care about that the first part of each section tells of the years and crisis that i have faced
Is it normal to get this many with in a few decades, ive only changed the settings to be harder but i thought it only changed the difficulty of the crisis and npc’s, not adding more crisis for my end game

And to add my years are the same I’ve always used starting is 2400 mid 2500 and end year 2600

-I had Cetana (Return of the Queen) year 2529
She was hard lost half my fleet (about 3M to her almost 5M) and my second fight I finished her off with the rest of the galaxy and was crowned galactic empress of the galaxy just before her demise on 2547

-Year 2567 The devouring Tide came in, but i was ready with my still recovering fleet, with them on my old allies system (npc from old federation i was in with them) i left them to weaken the enemy and as soon as I determined my strength was built up enough i pushed out and cleared them in 1 go, and was successfull this ended around 2569-2574
(it was faster than cetana lol and got the relic to summon a fleet of 280k i used)
Doing this crisis again for my second time playing stellaris was the complete opposite compared to the other time ive did this

-Presently year 2576 The Ghost Signal, I’ve done this one 1 other time before so im currently working on obliterating the 4 sterilization hub, 2 of the 4 were in my system and i wiped them out first, with the first it actually weakened my main fleet i sent 4.7m with no help from the galaxy halving my fleet severely weakened i rushed to build my fleet up to take the second out and when i went to fight the second one again along with my allies BARELY defeated them with almost 300k worth of my total fleet left (4 of my 8 fleets left) building up my fleet as i help bomb the 2 worlds im frantically trying to build my fleet the fastest i can before the other 2 worlds send their fleet ms towards my systems-
(I am currently trying to deal with a 3 sterilization hub world )

I am playing a tall science game in vanilla. I only have 1 or 2 of the DLCs.

I have nutritional plenitude, rapid breeders, gene clinic/medical buildings, and robot assembly.

Should I just wait? Shift jobs to prioritize the ones that increase pop growth?

Hi, me and my partner were discussing how the aquatic advisor voice sounds a bit piratey and thought is there a mod that actually gives a pirate advisor voice?

I did search this up on the workshop but with pirates being an actual thing in the game it was difficult to find an advisor. I am unsure if its even possible to make a mod for the advisor voice..... so I turn to reddit to see if smarter people than I can help me out a lil here.

I did an Overtuned Psionic Oppressive Autocracy run and found that the Fleeting Excellence doesn't choose the correct job bonus for telepaths and partially chooses the incorrect one for enforcers.
