It is time to leave our flawed biological vessels behind. It’s my pleasure to announce that The Machine Age major expansion will be released alongside the Stellaris 3.12 ‘Andromeda’ update.

Focusing on cybernetic, synthetic, and machine themes, The Machine Age will begin during the second quarter of 2024.

In pursuing the divine calling, we shall achieve the fusion of the exalted body and sacred cybernetics.
The Technophants and Haruspex of the Cybernetic Creed will guide their flock to the perfect union of flesh and machine.

Cybernetic augmentation is not solely the province of the materialists.

Playgrounds stand empty. In time, we will cease to be.
For now, ou... Read more

Hello,

Our latest patch is now live and ready for download, fixing most but not yet all of the issues reported from the 'Eridanus' release last week.

Please find the patch notes below.

STELLARIS 3.11.2 PATCH NOTES
Balance

The Opener for Domination now gives +5% Worker Output and +5% Slave Output instead of +10% Slave Output so Egalitarians and Xenophiles aren’t sad.

Hi everyone!

Today we’ll be taking a look at the state of the game, the upcoming 3.11.2 patch, talk about the Subscription FAQ, look at the Q&A transcript, and give a taste of what’s next.

Let’s get to it.

State of the Game The Stellaris 3.11.1 “Eridanus” update was released last week, and I’m happy to say that the build appears quite stable crash-wise.

The number of crash reports is very low for a release, with approximately 90% of the ones we are getting being due to mods that haven’t been updated. Of these, more than half are specifically related to mods that affect the Galaxy Settings screen. Metrics so far show that Multiplayer seems to be significantly more stable than 3.10.4 as well, though an issue has been raised regarding observer mode causing major performance issues in multiplayer that we're cur...

Generally issues with DLC verification can be solved by right clicking Stellaris, Properties, Betas tab and Verify Local files.

If the issue persists past that point, you can go to support.paradoxplaza.com and open a ticket, and Customer Support will be glad to help you!

The Expansion Subscription is primarily to lower the bar to entry for new players, if you have all or most of the DLC, its very likely that the subscription will not be worth it for you.

New DLC will *not* be subscription only, and you can still purchase them on Steam (or other platforms) as you could previously.

People joining the game you host, have access to the dlc you own, if you have the sub, most likely mean they have access to it too.

This is correct, subscription DLC behave the same as normal DLC, and are shared in multiplayer as long as the subscribed player is the host.

Hello everyone!

We've gathered up some of the most frequently asked questions from the launch of the Stellaris Expansion Subscription.

Will I lose access to my existing content purchases?
No. All existing purchases will remain, and you will not have to sign up to the subscription service to maintain your access to your previously purchased content.

Will future content be subscription-only?
No! Our main model will remain focused around expansions and other content, as we have done so far. We have introduced a subscription service to lower the barrier to entry for new players.

Who asked for this?
We are experimenting with this additional option to provide players access to the full Stellaris experience. We are simply offering another choice, as we understand that many players would be interested in trying Stellaris with all the content without having to commit to purchasing all the existing content.

Hi everyone!

Last week we went over some Community fixes that we are incorporating in the 3.11 “Eridanus” update. Today we’ll be looking at some of the changes the Custodians have been up to. This is not an exhaustive list as while we’re rapidly approaching Code Freeze, it hasn’t hit quite yet so bugs are still being worked on.
Bugs, Balance, and Polish As I’ve mentioned previously, for the Eridanus update we focused mostly on bugfixing and polish.

Hi all!

When we first announced the 3.11 “Eridanus” update, we mentioned that for the patch the Custodian team would be largely focused on fixing bugs rather than new features. As part of this initiative, PDS_Iggy reached out to some community modders and incorporated some of their fixes into the base game. I wanted to spend today highlighting their contributions.
Community Fixes
Some changes from these mods are being partially incorporated into the base game in the 3.11 “Eridanus” update:

Ariphaos Unofficial Patch
Developed by Ariphaos with assistance from Fireprince, and incorporates multiple other mods:

Risa's Unofficial Patch by Risa
Bug Fixes by alexrider903
Bugfixes by ECHO
Community Flash Patch by Roverstorm
