This New Building Made Fishing A Powerhouse! | Stellaris Build Showcase & Gameplay

I'm now In my 30s and I can fish if I want to! This is a style of build I've always loved but always thought needed a little more to make it more viable!
With the new building and the change from a patch some months ago so you can use Agrarian Idyll and Anglers in the same empire I think it's finally where it should be!

This man literally turned Stellaris into Pro Bass Fishing

[@SephirothRyu]

One day, out of the blue, the ships show up. They begin fishing the planet for its people. You get caught, and taken by one of the orbital fishing ships. You are then transported to some ocean world where you are put on essentially a cruise ship with lots of fishing gear, and then become a fisher yourself. Just nice, relaxing fishing, and the fish have an excessive tendency to go after just about anything you think to use as bait.

[@Jukantos]

Fishing for populations too, kinda brutal

[@Speedster___]

Lmao

[@SephirothRyu]

Nihilistic acquisition is merely... a creative form of fishing.

*3:38* Just so you know, which Precursor you get isn't predetermined when you generate a galaxy. If you like a start you can copy the save file and _(as long as you saved _*_before_*_ you found your Precursor)_ keep rerolling your Precursor.

[@xiiiiv70]

For me it seems that 7 out of 10 precursors I get are the baol and it wouldn't be a problem if not for the fact that I play machine empires

[@nathansheppard1088]

close but no cigar. precursers are prespawned when the galaxy is generated. however surveying systems in each precursors"territory" causing you to get that precursor if you disable ironman mode and go into debugmode you can see which part of the galaxy has the precursor you want and survey in their domain.

[@steffangriffiths7508]

@@nathansheppard1088 do you have to input a command to see the precursor regions?

They actually are coded to spawn in specific parts of the galaxy iirc.

I've used a VERY SIMILAR build in my last 3 competitive games with friends (last time I ended up a Megacorp and the income was ABSURD), after finding the synergy. It is a BEAUTIFUL empire to play so I'm ecstatic to see it here!

[@timjohansen5045]

Lathrix should not appologize for not uploading. Rest is required to keep Lathrix happy and Lathrix has to stay happy or he will not be able to produce happy content. And we require happy content to stay happy.

[@SephirothRyu]

Lathrix deserves to go on a fishing trip, where he can fish for people to send back to his world to fish for him.

[@giaxo1739]

I always hate super negative and angry content. It's just such a downer. Lathrix's happiness is such a pleasant difference from what a lot of other people make.

[@SkyForceOne2]

I dunno the problem with "Anglers" is, to make it viable, you have to take 3 specific Civics to have uncapped alloy production. 3! And it also leaves you with the "meh" pearl divers. Now, in comparison, with the addition of subterranean, you only need the origin for the same effect xD

[@caphalor7252]

Jeh but fooooooood

​@@jakobknudsen6864 Yeah you're right. I had an ultra wide condensed shared burdens empire that I let automate itself and it ended up working with only a small deficit in consumer goods every so often.

I adore your stellaris vids. Some content feedback: maybe you could add channel memberships to offset the algorithm poison and loss of revenue of longer from playthroughs. I for one would be willing to pay a buck or two a month so see this series continued in the future, and I'm sure others would too.

[@robertpeck434]

Hope you're excited for Galactic Paragons, Lathrix. I'm excited to see what new stuff is coming and I'm hoping you will do a roleplay-focused run featuring all the new leader mechanics.

[@molybdaen11]

So your people, while on another peaceful night fishing trip, realized that there are aliens out there which are not able to live such a peaceful life. So you advanced science, build up a space program, found the poor creatures and showed them the new, better, way of life. And once they have they gills you can show them your fish collection too.

[@Sarsenwood]

Alternatively, fishing is work, not war, and all they're doing is fishing for pops!

[@rainbowchutney]

It's great to see the new building and patch changes in Stellaris making unique builds like this fishing powerhouse possible! Lathland's enthusiasm for the style of the build is contagious, and it's exciting to see it finally become viable with the recent updates. It's always impressive to see players think outside the box and come up with creative ways to play the game. Looking forward to seeing more showcase videos like this one!

[@spacedaniel492]

No way an actual human wrote this bot ass comment.

Man I am so glad they removed the restriction on using agrarian idyl and anglers togethers

[@elshano_]

“For some reason, all the pearl divers are *really* unhappy” Old school pearl diving was really freaking dangerous! Being an angler sounds much safer

[@JusDoc]

hey Lathland, next time you need to farm for a specific precursor and don't want to use a mod, heads up that you can actually semi-force a precursor for a build! When you open a new system, open up your save in a text editor and go find the section on that system. It will tell you which precursor starts are in the system and what orbital bodies they're tied to. Tell your scientist to scan just those bodies, and if you don't get it, go explore the next system. If the wrong precursor pops up, just hit alt+f4 before the save updates and try again. It's a bit jank, but it's the system I used when I was rounding out my last achievments and was missing the Zroni because I'd somehow absolutely never seen them before.

I enjoy the implication that your species is dangling fishhooks down from orbit and snagging pops as they swim/walk/fly by.

Always fun to see takes that make Montu scream distantly in the background; they famously HATE farmers in Stellaris!

[@fabucla]

Builds that require a specific Precursor are really unnerving, but cool thing, if it hits. Also is there a trick to finding out wich one you got early, or do you have to find the first site?

[@VORASTRA]

Yeah, basically send multiple science ships on survey. Usually you find out in first couple of years. Zroni doesn't give you default precursor warning, but you'll see it through lost colony archeological site notification.

[@jots083]

if you ever want to test a specific precursor, rather than playing until you know it spawns, you can press tilda and enter the dev tools. There type debugtooltip and it will list the precursor that can spawn from that system. It really speeds up that process. Once you get the one you want, turn off debugtooltip just by typing it again. The list of the precursor number is precursor_1 Vultaum precursor_2 Yuht precursor_3 First League precursor_4 Irassians precursor_5 Cybrex precursor_zroni_1 Zroni precursor_baol_1 Baol

[@PerfectAlibi1]

I have a better set up for this. Anglers + Barbaric Despoilers + Catalytic Processing Militarist + Xenophobe + Egalitarian. Food and Consumer goods from your agrarian worlds. Science and Unity from Utopian Abundance. And offcourse a few forge worlds for alloys ^^ All pops you steal are either working the anglers or unemployed giving science and unity. Amenities from the 5 city districts giving 2 clerks each, needed to get all building slots unlocked. ^^

[@geoffreyentwistle8176]

This vaguely reminds me of a different build I've been told about, from early times in Stellaris. Basically you produce an absolutely ridiculous abundance of food, and make sure you make your neighbors happy by trading them the vast excess food you produce. Then, before you go to war, you cancel all trade deals for food with that empire. Essentially their population would have grown rampant with all the excess food, and they wouldn't have enough food stockpiled to pivot into producing enough food to avoid starvation. They'd start having to deal with massive Civil unrest and rebellions, and THEN you'd go to war with them. XD

[@markthompson6139]

I tried this a bit, and boy oh boy. Learned some things. So agrarian idyll made rolling anti grav impossible as they have a different tech called idyllic housing? So you couldnt make ecunopoli. Which means the grunur could be useful in making gaia forge worlds for at least some help. However…i ended up with the first league instead. And “secrets of the first league” gives progress on antigrav engineering. So i was able to restore the league world int an ecu that way. Still didn’t see arcology as a pickable tenet. The strength of this build is in how , like most trade empires, you can completely ignore one or more resources. I only made agri districts, idustrial “forge” districts, and science. Marketplace of ideas straight away for unity until unity rush complete thing back to consumer benefits to backfill my academic lifestyle. I didnt integrate anyone, as keeping some of their pops and using them as a scholarium was great, with a mere 15 minimum tax my minerals were solved all game. So i had a super tall empire, rapidly vassalized a nearby megacorp so i got buildings, and spammed research habitats. Had 15K science before 2300… yeah it was nuts. Other weirdness, had a colossus but no total war allowed, boo. Ended up in a big secret fealty war just as the xenophobe FE awoke. They ate the overlord while i ate up the one gestalt they had. So i felt trapped a bit by pacifism but also relished how tall play was easy.

[@0IHasanI0]

Happy the Birthday 🎉 Suggestion: Subnautica would be a good one if you haven’t played it yet. Of course here you will need to record everything. Interesting story. Subnautica Below Zero. As a follow up for the first one. More I don’t remember currently 😊

[@danielgloyd4529]

I think instead of repugnant, using nondaptive might be better. Aquatic gives you extra habitability on ocean worlds anyway canceling nonadaptive out. You won't run any risk of low amenities this way. -Extra edit after watching a bit. If you're resetting for the Baol, you will probably be going for Gaia worlds also so taking the negative habitability makes even more sense it will easily be overcome by tech by the time you start converting planets.

[@Nicmadis]

Lathrix: Of course, we are pacifists. Our "resource" acquisitions are perfectly legal and we'd be happy to receive the foo-... Your ambassador, I mean. Which is certainly more to us than a food source we will then sell for profit.

Suggestion/Request for the channel. Don't know how much content you can get out of it, but have you seen or played any of Dyson Sphere Project? It would defiantly have to be more episodic than long format, though.

[@NeoSyncPrime]

Lathland! Software Inc. Might be something to try out, its a management game but something that requires a lot of detail and even allows plenty of customization in terms of what you release. It could be something interesting either as a video or just as a personal passtime! Have a great day/night/evening :D

[@wagz781]

As someone that's been kinda defaulting to anglers since it came out: The major issue is the pearl divers. They take a not insignificant amount of minerals for what they provide, and generally aren't very good. As for suggestions on what you could do: I'd love to see you branch out into more strategy games. Age of Wonders 4 is trending atm, and there's a definite hole in the market for certain play throughs. As a matter of personal bias I'd like to reccomend deity empires.

[@mcuschie6331]

Hi, first I want to say that i realy like the style of videos you do and that you explain the empire at the start. Secondly, since I might start playing Stellaris again, I want to ask if you could explain a bit more about the settings of the worldmap at the beginning. paradoy changed quite a bit since I was playing back in 2016. The first half kinda explains itself but the bottom ones like popgrowthrate etc. I kinda do not know if to change or not. What is your opinion on all the settings.

[@serafira]

my friend and i accidentally stumbled into this build a couple days ago in a co-op save, and we arent that good at the game, but we ended up selling upwards of 900 food a month by like year 80 (granted our entire economy is reliant on the +angler output edict, i think it was giving us +750/month or so)

[@ashnagog8534]

Happy belated birthday Lathrix!

[@Tamizushi]

I agree Nihilistic evolution is the most underrated perk, especially since pop no longer grows linearly. It's really difficult to grow a large population on your own since each new pop increase the cost of a new pop by 0.25 growth point. Empires with low pops can grow them a lot quicker. This means as you kidnap other empires pop, not only are you crippling their economy making them an easier target later, you also boosting their pop growth, meaning their future pop harvest will be more interesting. It combines well with the necrophage origin or the synth ascension so can combine all their pops into your own.

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

30? That is still young enough to start a new graduation, change fields, have a child, maybe even a marriage. It's also time go back to your parents or anywhere that will take you when things fail due to increasing costs and productivity met with stagnant wages.
