First time Machine Empire, Machine intelligence. I need tips!

Any current version (season 8) tips for playing a gestalt conc. machine intelligence? It’s my first time doing so, only ever having played ‘regular’ humanoid empires without doing any ascension paths.

I was looking for some good current tips from the community here. Things I should know, do or think about before I start my save?

If I buy the 2025 version of Stellaris on my Xbox, do I still have access of the DLC I’ve bought?

Yeah I know this is kind of a stupid question but I’m not spending $40 without knowing for sure.

I just started playing again a week ago or so and just found out that there’s a better version of the game on consoles thru my Xbox app.

I’ve bought ALL of the DLC available on the store so, if I were to buy this new and updated version, would I have all my DLC still?

I just started the GDF on the old version and it’s so laggy it’s almost unplayable unless the game is paused so I’m hoping I’ll keep everything.

Cannot upload videos anymore, all of a sudden.

For months I haven’t been able to post any kind of videos saved to my gallery. Only photos. No matter what subreddit it is I get the same error message.

Can anyone help me pls fix this? It worked a year ago and now it doesn’t.

I’m on iPhone 12 promax if it matters

If I activated Dolby Atmos on a previous headset, and I get a new one, does it carry over to the other headset

I bought a headset years ago that came with a card for the Dolby atmos for free. However I had to put in a code for it. I’ve had two headsets since then and idk if I still have it or not.

Thank you!

Major City incident every single time the volcano goes off on Cinis

I’m out of options at this point. I can’t really rearrange things cus the island is pretty much completely full. It’s pretty optimized for fire safety and other stuff.

However every time during volcanic winter I have either a plague or an inferno or an uprising while having an inferno on two different islands at the same time. It feels like this shouldn’t be normal.

Are alliances even possible anymore??

It doesn’t matter what ship I’m in or what ship I encounter. 100% of people I run into are all hostile af.
Squeakers flying reaper emissaries, PvP’ers running normal emissary flags or guild emissaries.
Getting chased for over 60 minutes straight when I have no loot and even told the people chasing me.

It seems like every single time a ship spotted my ship they just turn right for me and are completely and utterly unrelenting in chasing me down.

I remember even a year ago I used to be able to run into people who were friendly pretty frequently. Now it seems like everybody and their mother is out for blood.

Why not just run THE PVP GAME MODE if that all you’re going to do??

All land military units are fully automating themselves??

I tell land military units to go walk somewhere and they will either walk there and almost immediately:

  1. Start randomly patrolling areas of my island
    Or
  2. Randomly walk to the middle of my island and sit there walking only within about a few feet of the middle (????)

Or they will, in the middle of walking to where I told them to go, stop and start patrolling random parts of the city or group up in the middle of the map for some reason.

All land military units are doing this in my MP coop save. Haven’t tried SP.

It won’t let me change any of their stances cus when I do it immediately resets to default stance. wtf

A Turbolaser ship weapons mods would be absolutely amazing. Any similar recommendations?

We got tons of cool weaponry and naval guns from the Matilija mod. I just wish I could change some of those kinetic projectiles to a laser projectile. Thought it would be suuuper cool.

Any other r commendations similar to Matilija a ship weapons would be welcome.

Over a dozen different modded ship builder parts crash my game upon selection or flipping

Everywhere I go the same modded ship parts do this weird thing where they overlap eachother. Probably over a dozen parts do this too.

Whenever they do this and I try to select them or flip the part is crashes my game to dashboard 100% of the time. I’ve never seen anyone else with this issue after looking online. WTH is going on here.

FYI: ARC-170 on Amazon has a ~$8 coupon on it until May 18th.

Just thought I’d share this since this ship is a bit expensive.

I’ve been wanting one for a while and it came out to $27 after the coupon.

Xbox cannot download ANY apps, Spotify doesn’t work either. wtf

I’ve encountered the weirdest shit ever.

My Xbox can’t and won’t install a SINGLE thing. Spotify does not work with my phone and it refuses to connect whatsoever.

I’ve hard reset the Xbox by holding the button. I’ve unplugged it from the electricity for several minutes.

NOTHING IS WORKING.

Akila has always dropped my frame rate whether it was on the One S or my Series S.

After downloading this mod to make it looks a lil better, Every time I go there it is a frame rate bomb.

And tbh, I didn’t even notice anything different other than the green river that I never see unless I’m in photo mode and the ground is paved.

Just got back into Starfield recently and have been playing with a bunch of star wars mods.

I’m not a professional but I think they’re good.

u/BackwoodsSensei — 5 months ago

I don’t understand how people with ships half the size of Akila city can land effortlessly or with HUGE M-class ships have no problems landing anywhere. My ships is about 80m long in each direction and the game bugs tf out and/or crashes every single time I try to land anywhere.

A lot of scaling had to be done with Stellaris of course. Here’s what I did:

An entire galaxy is under the control of an endgame, post-singularity Stellaris empire.

Population of the empire is in the several trillions, controlling hundreds and hundreds of worlds.

The Empire has all of the in-game technologies and tech trees completed.

All of the max upgrades in their ships, ship weapons are all archeotech weaponry. All of their warships are fully automated with the deadliest, most advanced *sentient Ai*.

The empire is so advanced, they’re only about 1 decade away from completing the “Horizon Needle”, a ship that is capable of manipulating the spacial fabric of reality itself. (Originally its purpose is to leave their current universe for another that they themselves could customize—however it could be used as a weapon instead)

(Idk what else I could distinguish about the Empire, but they would be very op, even as individuals given that they’ve far surpassed what most scifi tech is even capable of)

Vs.

Current Superman. The man of steel, said to be indestructible. Capable of felling gods and cosmic beings (I think, I honestly don’t know that much about Superman)

It’s my very first post on here, sorry if I’m breaking some sorta rule. Got bored a long time ago and I came up with this idea. Thought I’d share it since I don’t see anyone asking this specific question lol
