[@austinmatney4707]

My favorite one is the Squidward one. Just so on the nose that it is hilarious. Stellaris is one of those games that doesn't care what you are doing or your goals. It will just wake up and chose violence. Plus, it just embodies the saying of "F**k around and find out." or it goes from zero to sixty in a heart beat. I love it. Stellaris has no chill or in between. It is either freaking terrifying or laughably bad. Loved the video man. Keep it up.

Genoside is eco friendly type of gameplay, its also has impact on personal energy bills

[@Galen55]

[@RovingTroll]

Why genocide when you can turn every pop into gainfully employed, chemically blissed out clerk drones with machine leaders doing all jobs above clerk, and speaking mass crime to galaxy while deleting stars with stellarite eggs?

[@martenkahr3365]

Also, slaves are always going to be unhappy, which makes the Stability number of planets go down and Crime go up, and then I have to waste pops and building slots on Enforcers. And when I'm trying to play a non-purifier xenophobe it gets even worse: the MERE PRESENCE of Xenos on my worlds causes a significant portion of my main species population to slowly drift toward Xenophile ethics, and once the Xenophile Faction spawn, all its members are somehow even more miserable than the slaves because of how much they hate my policies on alien slavery, again making my empire need more Enforcers to maintain stability.

We are pouring every last resource we have to contain them there. Who knows how long this onslaught will last. The galactic community just voted military sanctions in."

The final meme, imagine that, in a MP game, during the Great Khan and a player decides to open the L-gate at said time. Said player end-up on everyone’s target list very quickly.

[@martenkahr3365]

There's a video out there, of a particular multiplayer game. Where a player pledges they will be the first one through the L-Gate because they haven't gotten one for so long. And they accomplish it by 2265 or so. Hilarious panic ensues, because of course it's the Grey Tempest. Ah, and I found it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6uylYqKpLKsZ6c

That thing at the end about the L-Gates is exactly the "problem" with current settings for your videos. Games are over so fast the AI doesn't have a chance to do it.And Problem is in quotations because it's not actually a problem unless you want it to happen obviously, to be fair.

I like to antagonize the xenophobic FE. I wait til my fleets are large enough and then i park an outpost into their exclusion zone. I then laugh as they bash their face into me on repeat. I like to imagine it becomes a sporting event with gambling for my empire.

[@darkbeetlebot]

The reason empires randomly generate opposing traits is because of two reasons: 1. Positive traits (xenophile, peaceful) are notably rarer than than their negative counterparts, so the chances of getting buddies when you make a peaceful empire is much lower than getting rivals when you're a warmonger. 2. The game is hard-coded to produce random empires that oppose your ethics, especially those that spawn around you. On this note, Democratic Crusader is the best ethic combo.

[@log-urbex]

im playing commonwealth of man (i am a xenophile player) while watching this and it is perfectly fitting the playthrough

[@ferretzim8694]

I've had a game where my empire was dominating a war, and I used a deluge colossus to turn a planet into a water world (don't remember if it was inhabited), only for the xenophobe Fallen Empire to have an anurism. Like old man, I'm not even close to you. Why are you taking offense to me terraforming? I think the same empire actually caused the Grey tempest to escape. I had set a couple of blocking fleets in the Terminal Egress, blocking the swarm from exiting, when suddently the FE started screaming. Now, this was mid-game, and I was busy dealing with the Tempest, so I didn't really have any spare fleets to potentially deal with the FE. So when they threatened war, I was forced to pull back my blockade. But then the FE did nothing, which meant all that happened was that the Grey Tempest got to invade the galaxy, because I didn't have any blocking fleets there. Thankfully I later got to destroy the FE, and enslaved them with the worst conditions I could (I think I also gene-modded them to be dumb and suck at leading, just out of spite)

One pop in stellairs is equivalent to 1.1 billion individuals meaning a empire with 1000 or more pops is in the trillions people wise meaning combined with average length of a game and wars can be drawn out that means in one game alone there could be deaths in the quadrillions so yeah stellairs players are screwed

[@samuelcrow4701]

11:29 (this is HEAVILY modded) The empire of sildoria is the result of a lost colony like the confederacy of man, though they could not find any habitable planets and settled in the upper atmosphere of an unusually stable gas giant. The unique and challenging conditions of the floating habitats gave them the traits very adaptable, sedentary, conservationist, and slow breeders. Their government is highly industrialist, materialist, cooperative and pluralist, and is structured as a socialist democracy. They will become machines wholly during gameplay. Life for an average citizen is strenous but rewarding, as they are encouraged to be as productive as possible, a leftover from early colonization days when low populations upheld massive workloads to keep their rickety habitats intact. The intense labor is thankfully rewarded well thanks to their utopian abundance policy. As such, sildorian worlds maintain high stability and great productivity, enabling them to become one of the most powerful economies easily and quickly. They are not especially diplomatic, mainly ignoring neighboring empire unless they wish to form a reaserch cooperative and of course, influencing the galactic community for their benefit.

No wonder machine exterminators are my favourite empire, you can even get machine worlds to not care about base deposits on planet andbe able to focus it on something to the fullest. Although there is a quite funny empire to be played with the escaped slaves F. Egalitarian militarists, going for the composer of strands psionic ascension, with shared burdens up until you can sustain utopian abundance. Then you have the "You are being rescued. Do not resist." kind of empire. Play aggressive, use automation past the amount of planets you're confortable controlling and have fun liberating the galaxy under your rule.
