The Stellaris Trade Masterclass

Yay Kizzy's back!

OFFICIAL JHON STELLARIS?

Adding on to your point about consumer benefits being good for specialization, it also means you can run militarized economy with no downside. Producing consumer goods through trade does not get affected by the consumer good malus of militarized economy, allowing you to specialize your industrial worlds for alloys and get a 20% increase in output! A similar idea applies for virtual research focus as this reduces unity from jobs but not unity from trade.

[@KizzyNoodle]

That's a great point! It's a super nice thing to have when going trade c:

I'm so excited my favorite Stellaris youtube person is Stellaris youtube personing again.

[@KizzyNoodle]

asdfasfasdfds thanks :D

[@StellarisOfficial]

Am I a joke to you? 🤣Just kidding, I'm excited too!

[@robertjohn6585]

As a londoner i can confirm it is indeed 0% habitability here but it's fine, we're all too nerve stapled/chemically blissed to care.

[@KizzyNoodle]

Was wondering how much time it would take for someone to comment on the habitability joke xD

[@IKaktusJackI]

Awesome edits. Glad to see you back.

[@KizzyNoodle]

I had to do it for Timmy

[@No_12c.]

Really great explanation had a really good game experience using one of your suggested builds!

[@CarrionCrowMW]

This was easily the best way I’ve seen Stellaris trade value explained, thanks Kizzy!!

[@KizzyNoodle]

Glad you found it easy to follow! I sometimes worry I'm bad at explaining things like these in easy terms x.x

[@dfredericks86]

That's awesome advice for my next playthrough. I've never done a trade build before but....the numbers don't lie here!

[@SyntheticSilverGem]

With worker cooperative you can eventually have each individual clerk pay for themselves.

[@KizzyNoodle]

I tried a couple builds with worker coop, it's definitely a different civic than the rest, maybe I'll release a build guide on it :P

[@winund8088]

@@KizzyNoodle I love worker coop. Its definetly not the strongest way to play trade empires but its really interesting and nice for roleplay

[@KizzyNoodle]

@@winund8088 yea i wish the trade policy for worker coop was a bit better once you get into a trade fed, like more unity or w/e

Timmy's noble sacrifice on his quest for knowledge shall always be remembered...🗿🗿🗿

I like the content, the avatar a bit scary though but overall it’s really funny and helpful, thank you !

[@KizzyNoodle]

didnt know i was scary o_o

[@warpup7778]

Most informative and entertaining Stellaris video evvvvaaaar! So happy our noodle dragon is making things again🎉

[@magitsu]

Very readable presentations, good work.

[@KizzyNoodle]

Thanks! glad you enjoyed thems presentations

[@naijt]

omagah. Welcome back Kizzy! We missed you! Awesome video as usual!

[@KizzyNoodle]

Omagah thanks!

[@Zaws21]

I like this editing, and once again I've learned a lot from a video of yours, guess I won't ignore trade value anymore lol

[@maikel974]

Absolute banger of a video! Thx

[@Gokudo01]

good guide, nice and funny transition 👍

[@KizzyNoodle]

Hope you enjoyed the dank memes 😎

[@alexanderwilson2763]

Very enjoyable video, let the trade flow!

[@KizzyNoodle]

yes, lets make trade great again :D

[@styrfry]

Aside from not mentioning bypasses and how they function with trade - being a mid-lategame alternative to the chain of starbases - this was a nice tutorial on trade.

[@KizzyNoodle]

wdym with bypasses, like gateways/wormhole?

[@SyntheticSilverGem]

I really like your voice and I like that you displayed the totality of information.

[@artemisfaul3445]

[@gman7378]

Love your guides

[@arbikiuszelemelek3347]

I LOVE trade value, im not very good and it allows me to simplify my economy, also allows me to produce easily enough trade goods to run utopian abundance which I like to achieve for roleplay reasons. I also really like mercantile diplomatic stance and the ability to run militarised economy for basically free. Great video and Timmy is so smart

[@KizzyNoodle]

Time to make it popular again! ;3

[@jeremywright5036]

Good video on trade.

Thank chuu

[@itsJustAnotherViewer]

Corvettes, on top of being cheaper to make more of, they also have a the highest piracy suppression rating of all the hull types. (Frigates as well)

[@KizzyNoodle]

That's what I mention in that section c:, I mention that in terms of ship hull which is what determines piracy suppression corvettes are better

[@crimsonfoxonusae4472]

This run I went with trade to help my eco and a pre ftl species in one of my systems became ftl capable and ask for the system back. Usually I say no but that system wouldn't be able to expand and didn't have anything there so I agreed and turned out to be a megacorp civ. That was huge since with me giving them their system meant I could instantly get them to be vassals under 5 years and they became quite successful because despite being only one system they spread branch offices everywhere since I was trade maxing too (just not as a megacorp but as a void dweller empire making that every single one of my system had a trade center)

[@KizzyNoodle]

yea its crazy how big your eco can be as a megacorp just because of branch offices :P

[@DarkCrimson25]

Nice explained. ^^

[@matheuspenchel]

I simply love Timmy 😆

[@avefreetimehaver5154]

i go trade empire most of the time because it's just more convenient. all i need to worry about is research and alloy.

[@RobBCactive]

There are in general problems with upgraded star bases belonging above the first core planets. You want the capital to collect directly from the planet hubs in the core sector so the populous mature worlds with vast trade volume piracy free. The capital hub fits naturally a gateway network later, which made Galactic Doorstep a good mid/late game slow burn origin, as Megacorp could set up exclaves by taking Leviathan out or bases from genocidals to become local to new markets. Since they introduced Mercantile, you have difficulties with specialised star bases as even without a trade hub they collect, creating very high trade volume that needs a chain of bases that prevent piracy. So the star bases should be beyond the initial habitable planets controlling hyperlane junctions. Later on the propaganda black sites and fortress planets work together to inhibit FTL, but the trade volume is much lower.

She js back 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@KizzyNoodle]

Kizzy's back, tell a friend!

[@starmiz1740]

Trade builds are nice but I wish it was less of a pain in the arse to manage the trade routes. Having to redo trade routes when key starbases get knocked down is such a hassle. Also love the shade you threw at London :D

[@KizzyNoodle]

I wish it was more automatic yea x.x

Irl unhappiness can actually boost trade.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

Snails?! I use the modded species pack of animated mermaids, the iron man compatible version. ^^

[@shards7992]

But what if I have extreme social anxiety and don't want to meet anyone (until I have the funni jump drives in games where that is allowed)?

[@KizzyNoodle]

You can release a sector as your little pet project :3

[@JoViljarHaugstulen]

But why make trade yourself? When you can instead have others do it for you? Be a MegaCorp then you get 12% of others trade value when you have a commercial pact. Then be in a trade federation so you get 12% of the trade value from all the other members. Then create a trade planet and release it as a subject so you can tax them for 75% of what they produce (and they also get 10% of the trade value of all the other members of the federation if subjects join the trade federation) and also get energy credits from the trade value directly with a branch office. The more subjects you release the more the trade value is multiplied because if you have 10 subjects and all of them produce 100 trade value every subject will get 90 trade value for free which adds up to 900 worth of free trade value for you to tax and 120 trade value to you directly (100 if you aren't a MegaCorp)

[@KizzyNoodle]

True! but if you also make trade yourself you also benefit from the other benefits a trade federation gives you on your own trade c:

[@bradleydelay]

I randomly saw your channel reccomended and just, a Stellaris nardo vtuber!? Shut up and take my subscribe!!!

[@KizzyNoodle]

Waa waa thanks

[@Maxpell.classic]

Why you didnt mention about improoved version cyber megacorp and synthetic megacorp with their own specific trade policy and other benefits?

[@KizzyNoodle]

Cyber/synthetic megacorps don't have their own specific trade policies, but they do give place to nice build ideas for trade, I agree. With synthetic specifically, you can go clerk heavy since clerks will give you % research output too which is nice, and with cyber, I prefer going for the government type that gives more trade value from living standards, just adds a chunk of trade value per planet you got its pretty nice

Your editing needs seizure trigger warning with all the flashes and fast movement

[@KizzyNoodle]

noted! if i edit a video in that style again I'll for sure include that

[@wastedthyme-thegame]

At 8:48 the video says that the council position gives a percentage modifier, but that is not correct. It's far better, you get a flat increase to the trader's output which is then increased by all of the other modifiers.

[@KizzyNoodle]

Yee, all of the modifiers compound together it is super nice and makes trade a lot better because of the way the modifiers interact with each other, I love this about it
