Stellaris Dev Tracker

Hello everybody!

Today we’re going to look at a likely 3.10 feature, some changes that we’ve called the Leader Consolidation.

With leaders becoming more important to your empire following the 3.8 ‘Gemini’ release alongside Galactic Paragons, there were some rough edges leftover and experiences that could be better. Some of the changes we’re implementing during this leader consolidation were things we talked about during the development of Galactic Paragons but decided against for various reasons, or were out of scope at the time, while others are based on data gathered since then and community feedback.
So What’s Changing?​ Some of these names are still being argued over, so are subject to change. Hate one in particular? Let us know. One of us probably hates it too.

Hi everyone!

It’s been exactly 100 dev diaries since we introduced the Custodian initiative[forum.paradoxplaza.com] alongside the Lem update. With that milestone met, and 314 being funny math number, I thought it would be a good time to review what the Custodians have accomplished, some of the process they use, and where we could go from here.

To review, the original idea behind the Custodians Initiative was to do some of the following:

• Tweaking game balance
  
• Adding new content to old DLC
  
• Polishi...

Happy Thursday!

Thanks for all of the feedback you’ve provided in the 3.9 Open Beta, and the surveys that you’ve filled out[www.surveymonkey.com]. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to get your eyes on things early, and it gives us a chance to see how you’re using certain things and tweak them before the actual release. As always, things in the beta are subject to change before release, and some things in there are still placeholders.

We’ve been polishing it and chiseling away at the various issues you’ve found, and are updating it today with some additional changes, and have opened up a ... Read more

Hi everyone!

This week we’ll be going over changes to Humanoids, Necroids, and more. We’ll also look at how habitats have changed over the past few weeks, and when you’ll get to play with them and give us direct feedback. (Spoiler: Now.)

First, I want to make a correction to the infographic we posted in Dev Diary #308[forum.paradoxplaza.com] - due to a misunderstanding, I had the “lava” and “geode” humanoid lithoids listed as two separate portraits in the infographic, but they’re going to be variants of the same portrait. I apologize for the error.
