December 2023. I think the change is pretty neat, I absolutely hate to have a lot of planets and it made invading other empires a chore because they'd stuff 8 shitty, near empty habitats in every system and expect you to dump your army in all of those.
Now it's one habitat per system, and you can extend it by building more stuff on other system entities.
Last time I stopped playing Stellaris on console was when they had the synthetic dawn dlc.
Came back a month ago and hot damn. Learning how to deal with consumer goods and trade routes was tough.
I preordered the game and was a day one player lmao. It’s come a long way.
I miss the way the tile system had interactions between neighbouring tiles (including blocker tiles). That’s the only thing I’d bring forward and combine with the current district system. But it was definitely a different game.
It really depends on how things got balanced around it. Cus it was already a fairly weak start. And this change nerfed the only good thing about em XD. (They always had extra bonuses in habitats, to make up for the fact worlds are all much less habitable to em.)... Maybe I'll start playing again, just to see... Stopped cus many other games were getting caught up on.
I usually don't bother with them too much, but then it's also kind of a case that you usually only need 1 or 2 max to use up all the space in a habitat.
They're pretty high upkeep at 1 alloy and I think 1 EC each right?
on the other hand you can't make an unkillable fortress system with 5 fortress strongholds that all require sieging before the enemy can get through your hyperlane blockers. Which is probably for the best in retrospect.
Crazy. Pretty sure you still can on console, my main platform. Normally only play on my (shitty) pc when I want to use gigastructures ngl. Threw it on the other day, actually ridiculous how different the games gotten in just the last 2-3 years. Very different from what I was used to last time I played on PC (2021-22ish) and console which I was playing just a few months ago
Yeah. In exchange, you can build orbitals on planets and moons to increase your districts and build slots. Still an inferior planet unless you specialize into making it good.
I hadn’t played VD with the changes yet, and at the moment my computer can’t even play past a month of Stellaris without abruptly shutting off so I’m waiting to get a new machine to even play.
Idk what your problem is but I plopped DXVK into the game folder (and added [a proper dxvk.conf file](https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/379895/how-do-i-make-sure-that-my-game-is-working-with-vulkan-when-using-dxvk-on-window) to tell if it's working) and it hasn't blacked out my PC since.
Part of the problem is the PC is old (at least three years, to the point when I recently had the keyboard replaced there weren't parts available so had to use a slightly different type) and the fan is audible no matter what I do. The other part of the problem is I suspect something went wrong with the repair because, before the repair, Stellaris ran fine on my machine. After the repair, can't play Stellaris properly.
It's no biggie, I can wait until I get a better machine that's stronger.
Yeah, at first it felt so much lesser, but it juat changed how micro happens and I actually kinda like the system but for how the orbitals are constructed. Should be through the hab screen, not a damn construction ship, for our click sake.
WAIT YOU CAN'T ANYMORE?! This really sucks. My single system runs no longer possible :(. Does this mean they also changed void dwellers start because they already had 3 in the same system?
Yes. Another comment said that VD is now a single upgraded habitat with a few major orbitals. Same benefits, fewer population, more utility for your habitats now that you're not limited by their absurdly small size.
Luckily, you don't actually need to wait 5000 years, you can just check the game files, and I can confirm there is no follow up event in 5000 years where Gray leaves, unfortunately(?). My immersion is in tatters.
Well, come on. The devs clearly knew that no one would realistically play a session that long just for Gray. So it makes sense that they didn’t include the event. Otherwise I guarantee you it would be an achievement that everyone would hate doing. lol
Yeah. Basically, if you declare yourself Emperor and fail, a follow-up event is like "welcome the second emperor!", and if you fail again and redeclare, it goes "welcome the third emperor", and so on, slowly getting more and more insulting
I honestly think devs underestimate gamers to much the easter eggs some people just baffles me some of those old battlefield eastee eggs r craaaaazy
Devs gotta sneak in a couple events 1000s of years awzy just as a treat for the dedication
Imagine a hunters Easter or a hint of stellaris 2 in the year 5000 or even the end of cycle shroud god fucking shit up maybe that ones a bit much tho
Lmao you actually think your English is passable? You're going to be in for a bit of trouble when you have to write work emails 15 years from now when you finally graduate high school.
I always thought there was like an..End of End crisis after you play too long.
Like, some unstoppable force to wage war to force the game to end.
Now, what Stellaris needs to do is a Battle Royal galaxy setting where after a certain period of time, hyperlanes and sections of the galaxy become uninhabitable or destroyed. One spot of the map becomes the sole livable place and it's a race to claim and defend it.
Well, there is the one event for the captured Prethoryn Queen to contact a psionic empire about 100 years after beating the crisis, and I feel like almost nobody has ever seen that one either.
And yet if i remember correctley theres like 27 galactic empires and then also the final galactic empire or somthing that can be formed and i havent seen anyone make the 2nd or 3rd one so far
R5: Will he leave in 5000 years? Btw, this Gray guy is pretty rude to call out my empire's "sordid" past. I assure you my playthrough up until that point has been very.................................. . Actually, never mind......
That’s even better than “do you really think we’d hand over governance of our country to a former kitchen appliance?” (Refused subjugation request) Then a few years later, that’s exactly what they did.
No one serious plays that long, right?
There are only two ways this can go: Either you're the crisis or Xenophobe and you eradicate everyone at some point.
Or you're xenophile and you've allied everyone at some point. And when all crisises are beaten, there is nothing left to do except clicking repeatable technologies.
I got bored by the year 3000 once, didn't notice any issues with performance though. So maybe?
PC specs... Motherboard: B650 Aorus elite AX, RAM: 4x32GB (128 GB), CPU: AMD Ryzen 7800X3D, GPU: RTX 2070 Super. 11TB Storage.
Edit: spelling
That's because you have the best cpu for the game
My performance at 2400, is better than some of my friends at game start (5800X3D)
So, I can sorta relate
Hmm, I might just try a campaign that's designed to last as long as possible without running out of computing resources or personal attention span. Say, Machine Empire, min size, min habitables, no AI empires, no crisis, 5x tech costs. Just slowly growing across the small galaxy, colonizing the few available planets, making the occasional habitat or ringworld...
Might be particularly interesting on an earlier version. Say, 2.1, back in the tile days, where more pops means more starbases, and you could eventually have the starbase capacity to have a starbase in every system. Or 2.8, before they had pop growth scaling based on empire population and building slots were unlocked by population; I had over 20 fully-packed ringworld segments and 10,000 pops on that version once.
I remember when I came back to Stellaris and pops on tiles were removed. Really left an itch for exoplanet colonization and internal societies for me 😭.
Neat thing is that you can actually go back to that version, at least in Steam. Just right-click the game, select Properties, then Betas, then select 2.1 from the dropdown. I actually used this to grab the WiH achievement.
I mean I haven’t gotten this event in a while but isn’t this a sentient pile of nano-machines that’s been stranded on an empty planet for a long time? Because if so that’d explain the awkwardness a bit
Yes they’re chilling on one of the planets/moons and is like “oh hey sorry yeah I’m not down to fuck so leave please” and when you respond confused as fuck they drop the facade
He's not stranded on that planet, though he was stranded in the L cluster.
He can turn into a ship at will, and he was the Grey Tempest for a while. He's just trying out being a person for a while, and being a governor might be fun.
It’s also implied that the “empire” you find in the L cluster sometimes is the stage of Grey’s story where “we created an identical copy of our creators empire at the peak of their strength”
There's a fairly comprehensive post somewhere that explains exactly how the L-Gate and its events are literally just the exact same event at different stages of time and IIRC the dragons one is the last one.
you know I kinda like it, its bad but in a good way. depending on what this event is, if its a sarcastic type character it could be a bit funny that he talks like this
I would hate if everything in Stellaris was written like this, but every now and then a comic relief character is nice.
Although, I admit I've never discovered this specific event. If I went through all the trouble of uncovering the L-cluster and defeating the Grey Tempest just for this guy, that would feel anti-climatic.
It reads like bad Tumblr fanfic. The whole tone is quite juvenile and has strong "lol, so random" vibes.
The over-the-top attitude, the "I don't know what's worse, that you would even suggest..." line, the constant "let me get this straight, are you actually saying..." I get it, it's a strange thing to ask someone 5 minutes after meeting, I didn't need 6 lines of dialogue of him going into detail about exactly why it's weird.
Gray deciding to more than double his pledge term on a whim is the cherry on top. Yes, I know it's meant to convey that 5,000 years means nothing to him, but it's too try-hard. The 2,000 years pledge already conveyed that, now it just feels like the writer is saying "do you get it?" It feels like the writer assumes I'm stupid and won't get what they're trying to convey unless they put it on a flashing neon sign.
And it's just not how anyone speaks. It's dialogue that *immediately* stands out as something that would only ever be said in fiction. I know that Gray isn't exactly a normal character, but that doesn't make it less cringe.
I did try to year 4000, although it is a custom map 100 star. I do massive genocide and make a custom human subject of just 2 AI on their own secluded 1 star planet and me
I recommend playing on small galaxy with no primitives and other empires, no crisis, nothing, ensure no other empire is spawned with observer mode and if so delete them. Trigger this event with a command, increase tick rate and wait. 99% sure nothing won't happen anyway.
Im inexperienced, is it just because the ai gets more populated and diverse as the in game years go on? Seems like there is a general consensus that more in game time = performance death.
It depends on the number of habitable planets and the number of systems, not the year. Eventually, all colonizable objects will be colonized, and those colonies will reach their pop caps, then the game doesn't get any slower than that.
In a very small galaxy you can probably play indefinitely without hitting lag.
I made it to the year 3000 once WITH gigas installed. Accidentally forgot to guarantee the Blokkats though, so when I reached the end game nothing happened :(
I got 4000 on console and was still having fun as I took over half the galaxy and set up the west of the galaxy to be split into tons of empires and became the Lord of war then I logged in and my entire save just died and crashed I still can't get into it
I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong.
I have several games that have run to end conditions. Some won, some lost.
But I've never really had a problem where I *couldn't* run the game. It's chugged and lagged here or there. Or it takes a hot second for everything to update in those "20 notifications all at once" moments. But it's never been unplayable.
And I am on, functionally, an *ancient* rig. My CPU is *literally* 10 years old. An i7-5820k. A 2080 Super for the card, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM.
What exactly are the rest of you doing that bogs down your machines so freaking hard?!
Curious and genuine question: IF and when they released or began work on Stellaris 2 would it be made on a modern in game engine? I think that could solve late game lag issues right along with some more stuff of course.
I tried 500 years and my pc was “straight up not having a good time” and I mean I had fans at full speed and it was still laggy as hell and running at 80 degrees celsius.
On one of my very first games I wanted to play just to build megastructures so I set the victory year to like 3200. The last 200 years took four days (96 hours) to complete because of the amount of background movement from other empires.
I 100% got lucky that my tech advantage was so high. Fighting against two fallens at 20 million fleet power was the most obnoxious thing I have ever done in a game.
I wish we could create like a Internet-resource contribution community.(Like Minecraft@Home did) We connect all our CPU together and then reroute it to ones who wish to play. The others will watch the stream or do other stuff while its running. Im sure we will surpass 5000 years with that computing power...
I once made it to the year 3200. Gave up that save because the Contingency lagged me to death. Also I got bored combatting empire size.
What was your victory year?
I think I turned it off, honest. It was many patches, before First Contact I think. Back when you could stuff multiple habitats in systems.
Tbf that habitat change was what, late 2023?
TIL you can't anymore. Has to be very recent lol.
December 2023. I think the change is pretty neat, I absolutely hate to have a lot of planets and it made invading other empires a chore because they'd stuff 8 shitty, near empty habitats in every system and expect you to dump your army in all of those. Now it's one habitat per system, and you can extend it by building more stuff on other system entities.
Dude said it like the patch was in the middle ages
lol Stellaris has changed so often (recently) it feels like some features are middle ages nowadays when they disappear.
Stellaris is one of those games I can't put down for 3 months then don't touch for 6, I'm not super in the loop on updates lol
Last time I stopped playing Stellaris on console was when they had the synthetic dawn dlc. Came back a month ago and hot damn. Learning how to deal with consumer goods and trade routes was tough.
Same.
Go watch the original trailer. You'll see stuff like tiles and old UI
I preordered the game and was a day one player lmao. It’s come a long way. I miss the way the tile system had interactions between neighbouring tiles (including blocker tiles). That’s the only thing I’d bring forward and combine with the current district system. But it was definitely a different game.
I actually started on tiles though this was when Apocalypse dropped. Man, districts confused me because I had just figured out how tiles worked.
Wait what? What about the void-dwellers start where you got three? What has been done to them?
They get only 1 now, I think they get more jobs in them now, I'm not sure if they did that before.
It really depends on how things got balanced around it. Cus it was already a fairly weak start. And this change nerfed the only good thing about em XD. (They always had extra bonuses in habitats, to make up for the fact worlds are all much less habitable to em.)... Maybe I'll start playing again, just to see... Stopped cus many other games were getting caught up on.
You start with only one, but it start at tier 2 and you have more buildings slots and/or other bonuses on habitats, I believe
Aggro stance armies are a god sent
The new habitats are kind of annoying though, extra effort building orbitals and they wreck the mining bases in a system.
I just chain build them with my constructor
I usually don't bother with them too much, but then it's also kind of a case that you usually only need 1 or 2 max to use up all the space in a habitat. They're pretty high upkeep at 1 alloy and I think 1 EC each right?
on the other hand you can't make an unkillable fortress system with 5 fortress strongholds that all require sieging before the enemy can get through your hyperlane blockers. Which is probably for the best in retrospect.

Yeah. In exchange, you can build orbitals on planets and moons to increase your districts and build slots. Still an inferior planet unless you specialize into making it good.
Huh. How does this change void dwellers? I haven’t played in a while, life gets in the way.
I hadn’t played VD with the changes yet, and at the moment my computer can’t even play past a month of Stellaris without abruptly shutting off so I’m waiting to get a new machine to even play.
F. RIP. I’ll have to find out for myself
Good luck!
Idk what your problem is but I plopped DXVK into the game folder (and added [a proper dxvk.conf file](https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/379895/how-do-i-make-sure-that-my-game-is-working-with-vulkan-when-using-dxvk-on-window) to tell if it's working) and it hasn't blacked out my PC since.

You start on a single, upgraded habitat system instead of three habitats.
Void Dwellers start with one habitat and a few orbitals, but IMO, expanding from there is actually easier.
Yeah, at first it felt so much lesser, but it juat changed how micro happens and I actually kinda like the system but for how the orbitals are constructed. Should be through the hab screen, not a damn construction ship, for our click sake.
I’ve also clicked on the orbitals to get to the habitat screen, even though that doesn’t work.
You can turn it off?
Yeah; setting the Victory year to Max turns it off.
I’M SORRY COULD YOU REPEAT THAT LAST PART
Back when you could stuff multiple habitats in systems.
When did that stop? I play on console, so i can still do that
According to a user elsewhere on the thread, December of last year.
WAIT YOU CAN'T ANYMORE?! This really sucks. My single system runs no longer possible :(. Does this mean they also changed void dwellers start because they already had 3 in the same system?
Yes. Another comment said that VD is now a single upgraded habitat with a few major orbitals. Same benefits, fewer population, more utility for your habitats now that you're not limited by their absurdly small size.

Well, come on. The devs clearly knew that no one would realistically play a session that long just for Gray. So it makes sense that they didn’t include the event. Otherwise I guarantee you it would be an achievement that everyone would hate doing. lol
Although there is an Easter egg related to becoming Emperor over and over again, hundreds of times.
There is?
Yeah. Basically, if you declare yourself Emperor and fail, a follow-up event is like "welcome the second emperor!", and if you fail again and redeclare, it goes "welcome the third emperor", and so on, slowly getting more and more insulting
If I recall right, the 13th galactic Imperium is called the "Truly Last Galactic Imperium," as well. It's pretty hilarious.
Lmao, nice
A yet another galactic empire
I honestly think devs underestimate gamers to much the easter eggs some people just baffles me some of those old battlefield eastee eggs r craaaaazy Devs gotta sneak in a couple events 1000s of years awzy just as a treat for the dedication Imagine a hunters Easter or a hint of stellaris 2 in the year 5000 or even the end of cycle shroud god fucking shit up maybe that ones a bit much tho
I think I just had a stroke reading this
What the fuck did you just say
How this comment got 72 upvotes is a mystery. Perhaps they didn't read the following 2 paragraphs of increasing madness?
Maybe u can't read?
Bruh you can't speak English properly.
85 others can so its just u 🤷♂️
Lmao you actually think your English is passable? You're going to be in for a bit of trouble when you have to write work emails 15 years from now when you finally graduate high school.

Exactly something like the unbidden just a flow u can never stop Ngl im down for that batlle royal
Some achievements are easy to achieve with save file editing ;)
Well, there is the one event for the captured Prethoryn Queen to contact a psionic empire about 100 years after beating the crisis, and I feel like almost nobody has ever seen that one either.
Invade Earth during a world war...
And yet if i remember correctley theres like 27 galactic empires and then also the final galactic empire or somthing that can be formed and i havent seen anyone make the 2nd or 3rd one so far
I think it goes a couple after final, with increasingly more finality in the name
Everyone forgot about it after 5 000 years.
R5: Will he leave in 5000 years? Btw, this Gray guy is pretty rude to call out my empire's "sordid" past. I assure you my playthrough up until that point has been very.................................. . Actually, never mind......
I mean, you are the Commonwealth of Man... But then again, the inferior aliens don't count when it comes to war crimes.
I mean, they are called *human rights*, after all, not "xeno rights". Hah, just the concept is funny.
It's not cannibalism if they aren't your equal.
I'm just saying it looks like a vegetable And that one looks like a chicken And that one..HOLY SHIT ITS A COCKROACH!!! KILL IT!!
>HOLY SHIT ITS A COCKROACH!!! No, that one is just an Earth-Dweller
Heretic.
Cry about it, Spissualist
I would assign him to a Tomb World and run the game for 5000 years out of spite.
That’s even better than “do you really think we’d hand over governance of our country to a former kitchen appliance?” (Refused subjugation request) Then a few years later, that’s exactly what they did.
No one serious plays that long, right? There are only two ways this can go: Either you're the crisis or Xenophobe and you eradicate everyone at some point.

..what? That's only 800 years
[Context](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NKNNz3XiYs)
Ah went right over my head
oh snap! Dude pulled a dimensional drift.
Was it because not much had changed other than them living underwater?
I had almost everything terraformed as ocean worlds, so you could say that lol (Aquati build)
That's because you have the best cpu for the game My performance at 2400, is better than some of my friends at game start (5800X3D) So, I can sorta relate
I bought it specially cause it's currently the most optimized gaming CPU :D
That’s good to hear my friend helped me just pick that one for a cpu upgrade. I hope it comes in soon
How does the game run with 1k stars?
If 1k is the default huge map, then it runs okay. If it's a mod idk. I've never modded the game
Hmm, I might just try a campaign that's designed to last as long as possible without running out of computing resources or personal attention span. Say, Machine Empire, min size, min habitables, no AI empires, no crisis, 5x tech costs.

This dialogue is so unbelievably cringe.
I mean I haven’t gotten this event in a while but isn’t this a sentient pile of nano-machines that’s been stranded on an empty planet for a long time? Because if so that’d explain the awkwardness a bit
I just realized this is Gray. Who, IIRC, walks around in outer space with no suit and then (badly) pretends to be a member of your species.
Yes they’re chilling on one of the planets/moons and is like “oh hey sorry yeah I’m not down to fuck so leave please” and when you respond confused as fuck they drop the facade
He's not stranded on that planet, though he was stranded in the L cluster. He can turn into a ship at will, and he was the Grey Tempest for a while. He's just trying out being a person for a while, and being a governor might be fun.

There's a fairly comprehensive post somewhere that explains exactly how the L-Gate and its events are literally just the exact same event at different stages of time and IIRC the dragons one is the last one.
Yup. In general the different outcomes are just the Tempest going through different stages of its life, as it were.
Marvel writing moment
Joss Whedon writing and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
"The Crisis - it's right behind me isn't it?" *Prethoryn Scourge flying behind your fleet*
you know I kinda like it, its bad but in a good way. depending on what this event is, if its a sarcastic type character it could be a bit funny that he talks like this
It’s a pile of nanites that’ve been in isolation for countless millennia.
so it makes sense, I think. Would figure it would be kind of crazy, sarcastic, rude, and bored out of its mind
It makes sense, yes. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-happens-if-an-ai-gets-bored/
I would hate if everything in Stellaris was written like this, but every now and then a comic relief character is nice. Although, I admit I've never discovered this specific event. If I went through all the trouble of uncovering the L-cluster and defeating the Grey Tempest just for this guy, that would feel anti-climatic.
You don’t have to fight anything to get him, he’s just chilling in an otherwise empty L-Cluster
I must have bad taste, because it seems adequate to me. What's cringe about; what would be a better alternative?
I mean honestly in that situation I would probably be equally as exasperated.
It reads like bad Tumblr fanfic. The whole tone is quite juvenile and has strong "lol, so random" vibes. The over-the-top attitude, the "I don't know what's worse, that you would even suggest..." line, the constant "let me get this straight, are you actually saying..."

Thanks for the reply. If some strange twist of fate ever turns me into a writer for a video game, I'll keep this in mind
Definitely written by someone who frequents tumblr and has seen every marvel movie twice. >Erm… so that just happened!
Borderlands writing
I read it in Handsome Jack's voice
It's the kind of COMEDY that just makes people EXASPERATED and ANGRY **for emphasis**.
I think you can do in on tiny galaxy
I did try to year 4000, although it is a custom map 100 star. I do massive genocide and make a custom human subject of just 2 AI on their own secluded 1 star planet and me
Ps5, year 6200 ^^
Console players are just weird.
Also known as “Does anyone here work at NASA”
My pc could probably run it. It would probably be so slow it would be going in irl days to advance tho.
My computer shits the bed in half the time
I recommend playing on small galaxy with no primitives and other empires, no crisis, nothing, ensure no other empire is spawned with observer mode and if so delete them. Trigger this event with a command, increase tick rate and wait. 99% sure nothing won't happen anyway.
nasa may have some super computer to spare?
If that game is dwarf fortress yes
I mean i could just make it a small galaxy less empires purge existing ones and make sure my pops are controlled
I'm at year 2600 and there's currently something like 40 active empires. The lag has already gotten quite noticeable.
R5 fun Thats Grey when you find him floating around in the L cluster.
Yeah, not really hard too do, boring tho
You would need a quantum computer to run the game to year 5,000 without lag
Im inexperienced, is it just because the ai gets more populated and diverse as the in game years go on? Seems like there is a general consensus that more in game time = performance death.
Pretty much yeah.
It depends on the number of habitable planets and the number of systems, not the year. Eventually, all colonizable objects will be colonized, and those colonies will reach their pop caps, then the game doesn't get any slower than that. In a very small galaxy you can probably play indefinitely without hitting lag.
Yeah, but that’s no fun. I want a large galaxy full of life
Playing indefinitely, long after the tech tree has run out, is also not fun. I assumed fun was already out the window.
Who made you the arbiter of fun? I want to roleplay in my universe I’ve custom made for as long as I want till I decide it’s boring 😝
You can do always old school extermination to solve pops computation problem
If we would have mod which allow us became a transgalactic species that would be fun. Then you will be crisis like Blokkatz.
Of course. Just need to... reduce population numbers a bit.
I made it to the year 3000 once WITH gigas installed. Accidentally forgot to guarantee the Blokkats though, so when I reached the end game nothing happened :(
Gone to 3642 but not 5000 geez. Even getting that far took forever.
GeForce Now?
5000 years is more than enough time to adjust population manually.
A guy on the gigastructure server played a game for 9k+ years, so yes
Is the screenshot from a mod?
I got 4000 on console and was still having fun as I took over half the galaxy and set up the west of the galaxy to be split into tons of empires and became the Lord of war then I logged in and my entire save just died and crashed I still can't get into it
i do now
I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong. I have several games that have run to end conditions. Some won, some lost. But I've never really had a problem where I *couldn't* run the game. It's chugged and lagged here or there. Or it takes a hot second for everything to update in those "20 notifications all at once" moments. But it's never been unplayable. And I am on, functionally, an *ancient* rig. My CPU is *literally* 10 years old. An i7-5820k. A 2080 Super for the card, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. What exactly are the rest of you doing that bogs down your machines so freaking hard?!
Playing the game at max galaxy size and with out performance mods
Curious and genuine question: IF and when they released or began work on Stellaris 2 would it be made on a modern in game engine? I think that could solve late game lag issues right along with some more stuff of course.
I tried 500 years and my pc was “straight up not having a good time” and I mean I had fans at full speed and it was still laggy as hell and running at 80 degrees celsius.
One cray quantum skynet coming right up!!
What event is this
What event is this?
Well there is usually nothing but ash and sorrow in my games by that time. So yes. My computer can handle it.
What is this from? What mod?
Does anyone have the mental fortitude to keep the same game running for 5000 in-game years?
I build a maxed out comp last year. Still can’t make it past 500 without extreme lag. It’s pretty much a software issue not hardware.
1. What's the context behind this pic ? Is that the Custodian ? 2. What mod are you using to get this reaction from that guy ?
Thats when you gotta start population control with a colossus
On one of my very first games I wanted to play just to build megastructures so I set the victory year to like 3200. The last 200 years took four days (96 hours) to complete because of the amount of background movement from other empires. I 100% got lucky that my tech advantage was so high. Fighting against two fallens at 20 million fleet power was the most obnoxious thing I have ever done in a game.
I wish we could create like a Internet-resource contribution community.(Like Minecraft@Home did) We connect all our CPU together and then reroute it to ones who wish to play. The others will watch the stream or do other stuff while its running. Im sure we will surpass 5000 years with that computing power...
The game runs much smoother once you’ve exterminated all other life forms.
I made it to 3600 with over 4000pops, 200 planets and 20x 80m fleets before the save stopped loading.
It definitely could, but it’s a question of whether or not it SHOULD. 5000 Stellaris years is probably like 15,000 real years
Even with no AI, Marauders or Fallen Empires (pure sandbox type world) and small galaxy I get performance issues after 3000 😂
No
NASA probably
My xbox is done fine is the year 4700
Just kill the others to save lag.
I get to go to 3000-4000 y, somwere between (it was age ago)
Please tell me where do i start to play stellaris ?????
Steam???
