Stellaris Dev Tracker

Hello Stellaris Community!

During this year’s summer vacation in Stockholm, we’re doing something a little different: each week we will be highlighting a selection of the fantastic mods made by our modding community. As some of you may know, unless you own one of the most popular mods, or submit something brand new to the workshop, getting discovered on the workshop is.. difficult. We hope to help out some of our modding community, and highlight some of those mods that might not otherwise be seen.

In this week’s Mod Highlights, we have a selection of mods that will add more unique species and give you more abilities for existing species in your galaxies.

Apparently we’re not the only ones who have seen calls for gaseous/energy based species, as our first mod clearly shows:

Hello Stellaris Community!

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do as a part of the Community team is to try and come up with a format to better highlight Community mods. The Steam workshop is a wonderful, almost magical place, but from a Mod Creator’s perspective unless you’re in the top 20 most popular mods (a hard place to reach after mods that have been there 7 years), or post a brand new mod (that gives you 7 days on the front of the Workshop, if you’re lucky), your mod will never be seen by someone who doesn’t actively search for it.

Since it’s summer, and it’s the time for experiments, we’ve started a small-scale experiment to see if we can highlight some of the lesser well known mods in the workshop. This is currently limited to a small group of modders, but should it turn out to be popular, we would like to eventuall... Read more

Hello everyone!

The ‘Gemini’ 3.8.4 update has been released today. In it, we’ve continued post-release balance work. Some of the bigger changes in the release include the conversion of several leader traits into Council Traits either to reduce micromanagement (moving a governor from planet to planet to maximize benefits of some traits) or to address undesired stacking issues.

Hello everyone!

Now that the 3.8.3 patch has been released, and it seems so far that multiplayer and co-op stability is in a pretty good state. We’re continuing work on a 3.8.4 release planned for a few weeks from now, to get some more fixes in before summer hits.

A few highlights include changes relating to ground combat collateral damage and bombardment (specifically Raiding Bombardment).

We’re reducing the amount of collateral damage ground units deal, as many invasions were destroying the colonies before the battle completed.

The base rate at which Raiding bombardment steals pops will be dramatically reduced. Each army present on a planet will also protect 3 pops from being vulnerable to Raiding bombardment. (Raiding bombardment is always unable to steal the last pop of a colony, so on a colony with three def... Read more

Hello again!

We’ve been working on a balance and bugfixing update, which should hopefully be coming to you early next week. Today I’ll be going over some of the things that will be in it, as well as go into why we’ve prioritized certain fixes over others.

Hi all!

Galactic Paragons and the first hotfix have been released on all PC platforms, and we're working on a balance and bugfixing patch that we're currently targeting for the end of the month. Please keep on providing your thoughts and feedback.

Based on the feedback you've all provided thus far, we are creating a plan for fixes and improvements. While it's possible that we may release a stability hotfix before the balance patch, it will not include any design changes.

Cooperative Mode and Out of Syncs
The 3.8.2 hotfix took care of a number of out of sync issues, but there are more to hunt down. The programming team is focusing heavily on clearing these up, so every bit of information we can get is helpful.

If you're running into frequent out of sync issues, you can help us out a lot by having the host ad... Read more

Following some quick work from the team we have now produced a patch aiming resolve the high priority issues coming out of the Galactic Paragons + 3.8 release. 3.8.2 should be available for download via Steam and GOG now.

Unfortunately there is a delay in the deployment of the patch to Microsoft Store, and players on this platform should expect the update to arrive early next week instead.

We will continue our efforts fixing and balancing where needed, so keep your reports coming!
