  • Broccoli: It's what's stinking up your galaxy. Playing on Grand Admiral (scaling) difficulty with a species setup that is... somewhat less than optimal. This is going to be my hardest game of Stellaris EVER.

    Regarding Broccoli and bad smell, be aware that the cruciferous family (like brussel sprouts) has an off gassing that smells a lot like fart or poop, so a bad smell on a sealed item of that family of plants is not necessarily an indicator of spoilage.

    Noxious + Subterranean has been my favorite build for a while now (I play multiplayer with a couple friends, usually).
    The fact you can settle pretty much anywhere (80% min and max habitability) is insane. I picked the redcap mushroom people for the spreading spores idea.
    My traits were something like budding and radiotropic. Only civic that matters is relentless industrialists.
    I settle as many planets as possible, turning them all into tomb worlds.
    But the real kicker? I'm not there to have a good time. I'm there to make everyone else have a slightly worse time!
    I make migration treaties with as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. The AI sees they have a pretty good species that can live anywhere, grow anywhere. So they settle literally everywhere with my mushrooms. By the mid game there are like twice as many of my species outside my empire than inside. My mushrooms in democratic nations inevitably become their leaders. The spores spread!
    Does it actually help you at all? Not really, it is funny, though.

    Once my dad bought onions and kept them on top of fridge so that it is easy to access, since it is in a cover and was hidden by other things we forgot about it and it was lying there for about 6 months or so one day a weird smell was coming in the kitchen and when we checked these onions got surfaced attacking us with its stench and you wouldn't want to stay even 10 mtrs away from it. it was the warassttt day during pandemic.

  • @Cideous

    know your weren't looking to min max but as a plant species, budding would have fixed a lot of the pop growth stuff... concentrating on pop assembly and letting pop growth tank.
    just a thought
    interesting mix you got here, think I'll try it out myself :D

    • @roboticgamer8990
      @roboticgamer8990 Рік тому

      if he goes genetic ascension there is a trait that increases pop assembly at the cost of pop growth. also nonadaptive is free points with this species build. instead of purging aliens he could turn them into livestock that way they produce food and give pops that can make his main pops happier.

    Personally i prefer 4 fallen empires so that you can guarantee that at least two of the opposing fallen empires spawn. If you select just three then you can get a situation where you get the xenophiles, the materialist, and the caretakers. The chance for the war in heaven to trigger is extremely low if you don't have two opposing fallen empires. I find the war in heaven the only mid game crisis that can be actually difficult. The ai will never open the L gate so the grey tempest is never a concern. The grey tempest also only has a 35.7% chance of even spawning. The great kahn usually dies from an event or dies in battle before he can actually become a major threat.

    Step one: Find a good slave race
    Step two: Make a Thrall world to grow them on, set every other world to grow your own species.
    Step three: Distribute them to your other worlds, 20 pops max, giving you the happiest pops ever everywhere.

    So an FYI with the leviathan.... Stellaris currently registers new species contacts if your ships are in adjacent systems of them, even without visual confirmation. It's a bit annoying, and I cannot tell if it's a feature or a bug... (It might be a few adjacent systems in some cases for some reason, and THAT might be bugged, but again, not sure)

    I'm pretty sure you're entirely wrong when you're explaining the species habitability cap when discussing the noxious trait. It works the same way the minimum modifier does, except it sets a maximum. A 40% habitability planet is going to be 40% habitability for them.
    The species habitability cap malus makes it so that a 80% (or 90% or 100%) habitability planet is going be experienced as 70% by your pop (as your habitability cap is 100% - 30% = 70%). But it doesn't change anything when the habitability of the planet is below 30%.
    So noxious pops are, without any other modifiers, going to have anywhere between 30% and 70% habitability on any planet.
