Stellaris - DOOMSDAY: Mistakes Were Made #2

[@bozzutoman]

11:53 - "We've so ecologically _doomed_ our world that we are forced to flee it. In these coming years of desparate struggle, hoping to find refuge elsewhere, our species' must find the wisdom to restrain our recklessness, and greed to exploit resources.... oh, hey, let's research geothermal fracking!"

[@josephdedrick9337]

its already broke how much worse can it get.

[@PyrusFlameborn]

@@josephdedrick9337 if the planet will explode anyway might as well squeeze it dry first😂

[@caeligocielo5634]

I can hear in your voice how much it's hurting you, but I LOVE that you're choosing the roleplay options over the more min-maxed sensible options. I mean, if your race was sensible they wouldn't have doomsday'd their home world.

[@poilboiler]

What does this big red button do? Let's push it and see. What's the worst that could happen?

[@nevilleneville6518]

Yeah this. Just RP and go with the flow.

[@MrAzhrarn]

@Quill18 : May I recommend finishing the Grunnur precursor chain ASAP? It gives you "the last baol" artifact, which lets you turn any world you have colonized into a Gaia world once every 10 years as well as spawning some Baol pops. It is extremely fortunate that you've gotten this one as it solves the problem of not finding suitable worlds. That 100% base habitability is awesome to have.

[@TheKonkaman]

You need to be doing your precursor dig sites ASAP, The reward from it WILL save your game!

[@MAskedGoblin]

Imagine the comedy if the second planet was the space dragon egg.

[@spraay6776]

You don't do the archeological site and you gained a relic planet......

[@TheDeliciousOne]

@@spraay6776 You're thinking of the rubricator world. The space dragon egg will erupt on its own regardless of what you do. Then the world dies and you're kicked out of the system.

[@spraay6776]

I'm talking about the kleptomaniac rats digging site in the relic world.

[@TenyoS]

Given what's happening to your homeworld, unstable tectonics is pretty ironic.

[@Kitanin]

When you mess up your planet's tectonics so bad, it sets up resonance in other planets...

[@SoSezTheDude]

How typical of quill, starts with the doomsday origin, then has the incredible luck of rolling the grunur (the precursor that gives you a free gaia world, and the ability to turn every other planet gaian) and he. Doesn't. Fucking. Study. It!

[@demonac]

If all your planets have unstable tectonics, you may have to rebrand as scientific sand-surfers.

[@rahilhiccup7672]

The story of the Baol is a sad one indeed however it may just save you for the reward is in my opinion the best of all precursors except maybe the cybrex since they give you a ring world but still pretty good

[@docgratis]

Hey Quill, it looks like planets show up when traveling through systems BUT the indicator can disappear when leaving the system if you didn't survey the system (WHICH seems like a bad design choice or bug by paradox) @22:34 the Meneth system has a planet but then your ship leaves the system at @22:50 and the planet indicator disappears... you may need to change your survey approach...

[@docgratis]

and it happened again at Ishtrum

[@jonnunn4196]

I'm thinking that whenever Paradox fixes this for most players they should keep the disappearing indicator for those with the "Slow Learners" trait.

[@SteveBlewett]

I don't think it is a bug. I think that is intended.

[@elastichedgehog6339]

I've never played this origin before but you've inspired me. I think I'll give it a go next time I play Stellaris.

[@Kaleidoscope-Crew]

One of my favorites was a megacorp with that colonization civic. "We'll save the species... for a price"

[@pattondurio]

I can already tell, if Quill continues to be “in character” for the worm questline, he’s gonna end up spiritualist worm weirdos. I already know the rest of the episodes are out but I’m guessing anyway.

[@williek08472]

The "Silent Shout" event gives you slug aliens with the Proles trait (can later become Very Strong) and Arctic planetary preference after you research Cloning. You could use them to colonize any frozen planets you find.

[@nickcrusaire]

game really maximizes the "youtubers are blind" trope lol.

[@vampdan]

Wouldn't be so influenced capped if you went into Expansion. Your leader's discount on tile blockers makes clearing the slums on your homeworld for extra pops cheaper. Do that. Arguably you should have trashed the bureaucrats from the start. You need a colony ship on stand-by. Build one ASAP. They take a long time to build.

[@peterknutsen3070]

Expansion doesn’t reduce the Inf cost of new Starbases by all that much.

[@saqwana25]

I think 80 habitability you get at max on a new non-gaia world.

[@poilboiler]

Yes. Except for special planet and/or racial modifiers of course.

[@TheDefiantPirate]

Quill: "Unstable Techtonics!?!? YUCK!!!" Me: YOU CANT BE PICKY RIGHT NOW!!! YOUR PLANET IS ABOUT TO GO KABLOOY!!!

[@JaneXemylixa]

I'm just imagining the "purple rain inspires artists" event as triggered by some artist who's finally expressing in their work the longing for a better, safer world, a promised land, that their recklessly technocratic society didn't really talk about out loud before. I'm picturing something like Monet's Impression.

[@dunn0r]

You spot planets immediately when your Science Ships pass through a system that has one. But if you don't survey it (just the planet is fine) the little green/yellow/red blip that shows that a planet is there vanishes as soon as you lose sensor coverage.

[@adaml5886]

More alloy! More science ships! Only explore, no survey!

[@meau400]

Haha homeworld goes brrrr

[@TeamBizzaro]

Space Monsters! No biggie, Cthulhu is just passing by.

[@jasonarthurs3885]

There was a planet left not surveyed at Meneth star system for a criminally long time, lol.

[@photinodecay]

The Baol organisms are very important to how we digest fiber

[@photinodecay]

Your Federation should be called the Grand Unified Experimenter Syndicate Symposium -- GUESS

[@mikebaker2436]

That's just insane. Why would a species damage their only planet without successfully colonizing an alternative one first?

[@veri745]

I was so confused starting this episode and being like, "that's not what the map looked like before".. Looks like I need to (re?)-watch episode 1 again because now it's different

[@SteveBlewett]

I find interesting is trying to figure out which version of Stellaris that Quill is remembering. Unstable Tectonics is not bad since I started play with Synthetic Dawn

[@alessiobenvenuto5159]

What the hell, by 2208 i was already declared war and losing

[@MaliciousMarvel]

6:40 If you're lucky, they're Space Clouds. Edit: Turns out, you weren't. You're wrong. Crystalline study is the thing where you study them. Shooting down would require different ethics in order to be available. You have the standard thing or the thing where you just co-exist and get them to be neutral to you. Studying is usually worth more. Quill, one word of advice: Please check your precursors. If you don't know them all by heart, maybe take a second to look them up. This particular precursor would have been worth to beeline. It's just some excavations which are pretty easy. The benefit would be REALLY useful for your special situation. Well, you started it by the end of the video. Please make sure you put max effort in ending the precursor chain ASAP. This is important.

[@papafranklive]

20:21 - Obr-Wun... HAHA! Is that an Obi-Wan reference? =D @quill18 You have to make him a fleet admiral, you're wasting precious potential here!
