      Beware though, as the earlier versions of stellaris (after 2.2) have a notoriously terrible AI that tends to cripple itself and stop doing anything after early to mid-midgame. A mod like Glavius' AI can largely fix that though.

      @maledwarfwarrior 5 років тому +2

      @@Ileko1Good luck with that, the reason it is still there is that fixing it is VERY hard. Since the game uses supply & demand to determine prices, deliberately crashing the market & buying at rock bottom prices to hyperinflate the prices is going to be possible without completely rewriting the pricing system.
      The reason it works here is that the Empire domestic market is much more susceptible to this tampering, due to it being a much smaller scale than the galatic market. I would personally remove the domestic market and have genocidal empires have a huge penalty to prices to represent the need to work through fronts to get anybody to sell to them. Even the Imperium of Man has rogue traders after all. This would prevent buying and selling through the market before its creation, but I'd say that is just an added challenge to ensure early game empires are actually self sufficient.

    Here's a suggestion: one of the post-2.0 versions had an insane algorithm for generating fleets for the Robot Uprising event. It generated such large fleets that you could literally smash through Fallen Empires while running on 0 energy and 0 minerals. Sadly, I don't remember the exact version, but it should be possible to track down by looking at the patch notes for when it was fixed. It was before 2.2 though.
