I played the game for years - I didn't realize you could even automate research choices.... Picking them is the most fun I have in the game a lot of the time why would you ever want to automate that?
I gotta disagree with the early aggression. Captain difficulty at the least will always take out a weaker neighbor. Either to "protect by vassalizing" or straight conquering you. Easist way to avoid early war is to plan for war. Max your fleet cap while colonizing your first two planets.
I too question the idea of minimal early navy. Perhaps this works at lower difficulties, but as you up the difficulty (not even the aggression) you should be more prepared to have enough military to dissuade neighbors from warring early if you seem weak (low military). While you certainly need to be prepared to fend off aggressive neighbors who want your stuff, at higher difficulties you should be aware that even "nice" neighbors may declare war to vassalize and "protect" you. At the minimum, I'd urge people to be very aware of their neighbors. Sometimes you can get away with nothing but friends nearby. Sometimes there's a fanatic purifier who will start trying to purge your species at year 10.
I already avoided mistakes 2 and 3 (well ok I sometimes tend to place starbases at every system I see...) but didn't realize that I was making mistake 1, lack of many science ships. I guess I'll try to add more science ships to my fleet from now on.
First thing I do is start a science ship building. Then I take my admiral led fleet and use that to map out hyperlinks and find planets. After the first 5 years I max my science ships and keep them maxed. Don't go over your cap though because all your scientists will get less experience.
No.1 mistake that stellaris players make is not selecting a Fanatic Materialist + Militarist ethics with the Imperialist + Ascended Meritocracy civics and a cool blue flag with Earth as it's motif human empire.. Would you like to know more?

You can explore with a military fleet that has an admiral. That can let you get your bearings in the local area to send the science ships to a better plan of expansion. If you have too many scientists they will level slower. A larger early fleet can be very impactful as it will give you some influence and the relative strengths may be rated widely in spite of only being a few hundreds power apart.
"You are not going to be attacked in early game" The gegemony that spawned near me and immediately declared war on me as soon as I found them: "I don't think so"
and no military till 2250 can be an bad mistake depends on your situation and what are thos tips you can go to like 4 over on starbase and you shud be fine unless your energy and alloyd starvd
@@JaxRayneif your lucky and your starbase cunter the enemy fleet and you have few chokepoint and have buld upp station then normaly yes agenst ai but if you have many choke point or are unlucky with your tec then normaly buld ships i wud say the first 20 years witout navy is fine but you can have many dofrent things like an total war empire that things tour yummy and so on and normaly like to atack you between 20-30years in if total war if not total war nabor maybe 30-40years but 50 unless it is pve multiplayer that wud probobly a bit too late in many of the games i have done (But the best way to learn is to play and let the ai roll you till it dosent anymore i guess)
i just got started on this game i was told by a friend it's very immersive and you can make lore do you know how i would be able to do something like that?
The game is basically jam packed with scifi tropes. You roleplay as different sci fi empires based on the ethics. Species traits, and origin you take. Want to cosplay as star trek's federation? Play vanilla UNE. Want to play as the Protoss? Make a spiritualist militarist race with the teachers of the shroud origin. Want to play as the zerg? Hivemind ravenous swarm. Imperium of man from 40K? Go fanatic purifier. Etc.
Its a sandbox empire simulation game, you make your own roleplay based on how you play For exemple I made an utopian empire with everyone equals in a 6 planets empire when my population had decadent lifestyle and everyone was equal in wealth. (Fanatic egalitarian) But said perfect utopia was founded by profond imperialism and tons of slave vassal brutaly colonized and bled. 70% of my income were from my 6 vassal states My empire was also the eternal president of a federation of other country and the eternal custodian of the galaxy. I had every international instance agency based on my empire. Basically england empire mixed with usa but communist

Im all for spreading out wide and extending borders as far as possible.

Correct! This mainly applies to low difficulty and pve as well.

Exploration is key!

A great tip! Balance is key.

😅 I should add that it’s most likely not going to happen
and no military till 2250 can be an bad mistake depends on your situation and what are thos tips you can go to like 4 over on starbase and you shud be fine unless your energy and alloyd starvd
It can be depending on your situation like you said. Adapt to the situation at hand.

It’s like what others said, you can design any race you want and role play it from there. The game will throw random events at you as well.
i have playd it for around 1.8k hours and normaly 1-2 sience ships is plenty for me i normaly newer do more then 2:)
There ya go!
The Imperium of Man must claim the stars that's why I must have 5 or even 6 for the second the Xeno is found they will die
only good tip i saw here is no auto resertch
Glad you saw a good tip!
