Stellaris: THIS SPECIES STINKS! - Ep 8

[@romarlin9783]

The bureaucratic starbase building you were looking for can only be build on Orbital Rings, not regular starbases :) I was super confused by that too until I built my first Orbital Ring, the game doesn't make it very clear. It makes Rings pretty powerful to put around your most specialized planets, especially when you get the equivalent buildings for alloys and minerals.

I love this playthrough... completely hemmed in, there's a stranglehold on overall development, there's no military, and almost zero ability at real diplomacy other than voting in the galactic venue. So much like one of my own games! Quill is doing very well, all things considered.

4:15 yes, yes you should. Unless you're planning on having local fleets stationed in specific areas and even then there's edicts* for networked resources along a hyper relay network.

Flack is for defending against fighters, PD is for defending against missiles. PD is generally what you want unless you know your enemy has a very carrier heavy fleet.

17:33 If you click on the diplomatic map mode and then just click anywhere in open space within their borders (not on a system), you can see what another empire has claimed.

Hyper relays are insanely good, really cuts down travel time when you don't have to spend time traveling across the system. Of course they only really make sense once you have a fleet that needs to travel around 😂

[@aic7tube]

You might wan to re read the forge/factory specializations again. when used the industry districts stop producing the other resource altogether and specialize in one only. so both your factory world produce NO alloys at all and only consumer gods. Hence you're not producing much alloy at all.

I wonder when quill realises his neighbour is a devouring swarm....

To help with the piracy build 3 hangerbays and 3 trade hubs on your stations that help with your trade value to get more money and placing them in good spots and to increase the trade value within your own Empire commercial zones buildings will help too and they will help with an amenities that you're having problems with as well

[@sudirmanyunita59]

you need to build shipyard first before the fleet academy

[@deathshocker77]

defense platforms, why not build a lot of them on star base that boarders of your Over Lord, this why if he gets into another fight you can hold the boarder? hopefully keep your food going.

[@banana_cabana]

He doesn't have enough alloy production to spam defense platforms
