Stellaris Dev Diary #379 - You Are What You Eat

Post

by PDS_Iggy

Good afternoon fellow organics! PDS_Iggy here with the latest evolutions to our organic forms.

Way back when, in the summer of 2019 Eladrin (then a simple Game Designer) was left all alone in the office with the Lithoids DLC. Once people came back to the office they were greeted with the Lithoid traits! Since then Alfray Stryke further experimented with these phenotype-locked traits back in 3.1 Lem for Plantoids and Fungoids.

Well, now we have reached the DLC that is all about genetics and organics, so of course we had to take this to the end game. For that reason I started to work on Phenotype Species Traits and that naturally led to the Evolutionary Predators Origin!

PINNED: Where do I find my Stellaris: Galaxy Edition upgrade content?

Post
    /u/ on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hello!

If you're having trouble finding content included in the Galaxy Edition upgrade, never fear! Most of this content is automatically loaded into your Stellaris folder as soon as you complete your purchase, but some of the content can admittedly be a little hard to find.

By default, Stellaris is installed here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stellaris\

If you’ve installed into a different location, you can find the location in Steam by right-clicking Stellaris, going to Properties, and clicking Installed Files, then click Browse. This will automatically open up your Stellaris installation folder.

Stellaris Novel/Digital Collector’s Book - both of these books can be found in Stellaris\ebook\ as PDF files. The Stellaris Novel also comes in .epub and .mobi, so you can read them on eReaders.

Stellaris Signed Wallpapers - can be found in Stellaris/wallpaper, and come in various sizes so they can better f... Read more

Fixes and Improvements​
  • AI now uses the focus system

  • Civilians now appear in the jobs list correctly when it is collapsed.
  • The ANGRY RED BRIEFCASE of unemployment will now only appear if there are 100 or more unemployed pops on a planet. The orange briefcase of migration will still ...

Stellaris Dev Diary #378 - Genetic Ascension, Traditions, & Advanced Government

Post


Hello Stellaris community!

I’m PDS_Bojj, a content designer on Stellaris, and as someone with a deep love for storytelling, weird science, and moral quandaries wrapped in biotech horror, working on BioGenesis has been an absolute joy. This expansion dives deep (like deep deep) into what it means to reshape life, not just physically, but culturally, philosophically, and even politically.

In today’s diary, I’m thrilled to share a look at something we’ve been brewing in the gene-vats for a while now: Biomorphosis, our brand-new Genetic Ascension path, and all the squishy systems that come with it: situations, modular traditions, and yes, even genetically-themed Advanced Authorities! It’s evolution, but make it playable.

So whether you're here for the cloned bureaucrats, the flawless über-citizens, or the writhing mutation-hives of your dre... Read more

Stellaris 3.99.6 'Phoenix' Open Beta Release Notes

Post

by Eladrin

Today's update includes some major changes to the planet view, and some very, very basic gestalt functionality.

Planets now start with six building slots in their Urban District, with two Zones available to customize its output. Your homeworld will generally begin with an Industrial (Alloys + Consumer Goods) and an Archives (Unity + Research) Zone at game start. These changes have not been replicated to gestalts or special planets or starts yet.

We are planning one more Open Beta update (3.99.7) this Friday.

Stellaris 3.99.6 'Phoenix' Open Beta Release Notes
Beta Features​
  • Planets now have six building slots by default and two zones that can be used to specialize their urban districts.
    • Most empires no longer start with the early space age industry buildi...

Stellaris Dev Diary #377 - 🥩 MEAT SHIPS MEAT SHIPS MEAT SHIPS 🥩

Post

by Alfray Stryke

Hello everybody! Welcome to our first BioGenesis development diary!

Today we will talk about ships. That are made of meat.

—

Several weeks ago, Eladrin mentioned that the ship designer changes originally planned for 4.0 "Phoenix" would not be included in the Open Beta, as they’re now needed for our upcoming Q2 DLC release. We’ve since seen a fair amount of speculation as to what we might have been cooking that’d require such changes… So please allow me to introduce our Biological Ships!

MEAT SHIPS! MEAT SHIPS! MEAT SHIPS
In BioGenesis, we are adding two distinct Biological shipsets, with unique ship classes and technology.

Our goals in adding Biological Ships to Stellaris were to ensure that they are not only different in appearance from mechanical ships (and space fauna), but also in gamep... Read more

Stellaris 3.99.3 ‘Phoenix’ Open Beta update

Post

by Eladrin

Another update today for the weekend! Lots of important changes in this one.


Stellaris 3.99.3 ‘Phoenix’ Open Beta update Fixes and Improvements
  • Habitats are now semi-functional in the Open Beta.
    • Habitats now derive their maximum mining, generator, and science district development based on the resources in the system. Orbital deposits grant 1 + (half their base value, rounded down) maximum district development.
    • Habitat orbitals are automatically constructed for free when a new district is completed on the central habitat complex, if one can be built
    • Habitat orbitals are now megastructures instead of dummy fleets, preventing them from being attacked (and therefore attempting to to flee from attackers)

Stellaris Dev Diary #375 - Notes on the Open Beta

Post

by Eladrin

Hi everyone!

We’ve entered our second week of the Stellaris 3.99 ‘Phoenix’ Open Beta, and if all goes according to plan are planning another update tomorrow morning with some major changes to the starting situation of your planets. (Goodbye, primitive factory debuffs. I'd say we'll miss you, but... we won't.)

What Have We Learned So Far?​ While we recognize that the early state of the Open Beta makes it difficult to provide balancing feedback, it’s proven itself invaluable already.

The Open Beta has found several issues with growth and decline - from robots causing the inevitable decline of your empire to Fallen Empires and Pre-FTL societies being doomed due to not using standard growth models. You’ve found economic death spirals and identified needs that will help our designers produce a better balanced and fun e... Read more

PINNED: Stellaris 3.99.* Open Beta Opt-in and Troubleshooting

Post
    /u/ on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Hello Stellaris Community!

The Stellaris 3.99 Open Beta is on-going. While we’ve seen a great number of players opt-ing in, and giving feedback on the open beta, we’ve seen a few issues crop up over the course of the open beta that are outside of our control, and as such we’ve put together a document to help those of you who are unaccustomed to opting-in to open betas on Steam, or are having issues with getting the latest and greatest version of the Stellaris 3.99.* open beta on Steam.

How do I opt-into/out of the Open Beta?
It is important to note that this open beta is only available on Steam.

1. In your Steam Library, Right-Click on Stellaris, then go to Properties

2. Click the Betas Tab, and then in the Beta Participation drop-down, choose “Stellaris_test - 3.99.0 Open Beta”. If you’re looking to opt-out of the Open Beta and return to the live version of the game, choose “None”.

3. After the game updates and downloads,... Read more

Are the devs even looking at this board for Beta 3.9 bug reports?

Comment
    PDX_ladydzra on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
The Devs probably aren't monitoring these threads, but it's my job to, and I pass along what I see. As mentioned above, though, a proper bug report on the PDX forums will get faster eyes on issues.

Stellaris Dev Diary #374 - Announcing the 3.99.0 "Phoenix" Open Beta

Post

by Eladrin

Surprise! An early Stellaris Dev Diary!

Last week I mentioned that on Friday we’d evaluate the current build, and I’d see if I could provide a timeline for the Open Beta. Things have been progressing well, so we’ve decided to put a very early version of some of the 4.0 changes to test a few aspects of the new systems.

The Stellaris 4.0 update changes a lot of things - you can find a lot of the details in the dev diaries of the last two months. This first build of the 3.99 Open Beta only contains a focused subset of the changes, and many are still in a work-in-progress prototype state. It is not polished, or even done yet.

The 3.11 Technology Open Beta very quickly found some performance issues with the Breakthrough Technologies that we were experimenting with, and as the pop systems have advanced far enough to be mostly f... Read more

Stellaris Dev Diary #373 - 4.0 Development Progress Update

Post

by Eladrin

Hello everyone!

We’re still hard at work getting the features we’ve been describing into the game, but this week we’re giving you a bit of a progress update, and I’ll be giving my thoughts on what shape they’ll be in when we begin the Open Beta. As with everything over the past couple of months, all of this is still subject to change.

We’ve successfully gotten past the critical milestone of “the game is no longer completely broken”, and things are starting to come together very nicely.

Stellaris Dev Diary #372 - Modding: Pop Groups and Jobs

Post

by Eladrin

Hi everyone!

This week, Gruntsatwork will discuss the technical details of pop group scripting. This topic is likely to be of most interest to the modding community.

The systems we’re implementing now are just scratching the surface of where we want to go with them - we’re looking forward to some of the things we’ll be able to do with these tools over the next few years as well as seeing what you do with them.

As with all of these dev diaries, some of this is still subject to change during implementation and during the beta.
Pop Groups and Jobs​ Hello everyone, Gruntsatwork here! Let us talk about some of the script changes that are coming with 4.0 when it comes to pops and jobs…

As Eladrin already mentioned in Dev Diary 370, we are changing the way we look at Pops by grouping them together int... Read more
