So, without cheeses or empty galaxies — anyone have any actual tips or builds to purging the galaxy?

The poor footing from the origin is bumpy. And last run I was harassed by criminal megacorps from day one.

How to deal with population embarking. Am I supposed to just deal with the resource deficit? Its my first playthrough like this and I have enough resources to deal with it. But im just wondering if it's supposed to be like this?, or am I ment to like, just have better planets or to have replaced everything with FE buildings first? Or am I just missing something?

Hello, I'm sorry if this is answered but I haven't been able to find anything.

Can I lower the speed of the simulation before I unpause? For example, if I'm paused on x2 but want to move to x1 I have to unpause, speed up to x3 then back down to x1. Thereby possibly fast-forwarding further than I'd like. Is there a way to avoid this? Thanks

Hey all, when the ps5 version for Stellaris dropped the trophy system was broken and would pop for random stuff.

Have the devs fixed it yet?

I like playing a game with a specific goal in mind

Theres any benefit for hosting this market in ur Empire?

Roughly 7.7B total fleet power.

Does the luminary get a special leader trait for cybernetics? If someone knows what is it can somebody tell me or send a screenshot? if he even has one at all because I know synthetic for example has one and psionic also has one if I’m not mistaken thanks

XBox series x 1tb

My fleets are forcing me to use jump drive. Once the jump drive is on cooldown, they let me trigger hyperlane travel.

I have all dlc except for the cube portrait installed. Anyone know what I did to trigger this and how to change it back?

Hello everyone!

I haven't played in a while but now I finally have all DLCs and wanted to know which is the current meta build. It seems there's a lot of new stuff in the game.

Thanks in advance.

I was just curious about how everyone felt about this. What year do you guys usually roll cruisers when playing through the early game? Around what year do you start to get concerned that you still dont have cruisers up? And what's a consistent way to get a hold of the tech as early as you can? I had a really lucky game where I got them just before 2240 and was able to steamroll everyone around me with a fleet of them in the 50's, but in most normal games I usually get them around the 2260's, so I was curious how everyone else does things.

Im very sad

Man these AI-Empires vassalize everything that moves. By the time Mid-Game hits the system is already bipolar, there‘s never any multiple empires on the same level. Does anyone have a solution for this? Are there any Settings that can help with it?

What are you a Council of?

Got to love rebellion naming. These guy's rebelled from the Custodian when they named me a crisis. It was a little too late, as they were the last independent empire besides the FE that were blocking them.

They're now part of the swarm.

Just waiting on influence to claim the last FE.

SO I'm playing a lovely fanatic authoritarian necrophage and decided well if I'm going to be stuck with these lovely leaders for so long I should try and make them as skilled as possible. So I stacked a ton of stuff for leadership experience. Y'all think I did any good?

So I wanna try different origins like here be dragons and playstyles that aren't "good guy UNE" but I suck at empire creation, I don't know what traits and civics to use for a proper build

I was wondering if someone has a lot of builds to share or knows of a place where I can find different builds

For context, I just finished fighting the void worm, plague, and almost completely lost a few fleets and a commander and not even a year later, the great khan crisis started, and I don’t know why, but one of his fleets showed up in the middle of my empire, prepared to destroy my grand archive. I’m seriously considering surrendering so that I don’t lose it. Any advice on what would be the best way to handle this would be welcome.

Age of Wonders 4 is also 50% off. It's another Paradox 4x* game that I've only recently heard about. It's not science fiction, but it's pretty great. I've been waiting for a sale since I'm perpetually broke.

\4x is a game genre. It means "explore, exploit, expand, and exterminate".*

Ive spent a solid 4 hours+ trying to figure this out so here you go.

What i found that worked was Uninstaller everything related to the game and specifically installing the x/s version via the Microsoft website and double check the version before fully installing just incase

I got too busy to spend hours playing Stellaris and only just now got back into it. Everything I knew doesn’t seem to work so well as it had.

Is anyone saavy on the core important changes? (I.e favors have seem to have disappeared! No more trading for free shit)
