I am currently playing my first game as the netherlands and was just wondering if colonizing gives significant advantage over nations that dont do it or if you can focus on your own territorry and get similar/ better results. Also would you recommend making a colonial subject or having the territorries be part of you own country? Also where in your oppinion is the best place for colonies and when should i start with colonizing/ exploring?

If i want a balticrawler farm in a region is it recommended to persecute/exile/ slaughter everyone exept garthimi? Or does it not matter what race lives there?

So i have been playing for a few weeks now and in my recent games i have thought about this a few times. For example i have basically stopped producing textiles and clothing in my last runs since, at least at the start, the demand for them is very low and they are cheap to import. This saves me from building an entire cotton/taylor infrastucture. Also i often entirely skip on iron for the first few thousand pops since it is such a labour heavy industry. I just unlock the tech to build spears and hammers at the carpenter. This way i can equip spears, shields and leather armor to my troops (would need a taylor for the armor) without a single iron mine, coal mine, smelter or smithy. All of the little iron and tools that i need (basically only for hospitals before you unlock techs for toolls) i import. Saves a lot of pops and leaves me with fewer bigger industries, which makes all techs for these industries more effective. I was just wondering how you handle this and if there are any other good examples of this that you use.

Basically the title, for example do my humans expect more services to stay happy if my dondorian population increases? If yes, is it exactly the same as if i got the same number of humans instead? Is it the same if i get slaves?

Im a preety new player and so far there wasnt any immigrants at 4k pops, even with more than 100% happiness. So there is probably something im missing, right? Also do they reproduce?

I just unlocked bathhouses and was just wondering how many people one bath can service? I currnetly have a population of about 3.4k

New player here, i have been playing for a few days and my first 2-3 cities i gave up at a few hundred pops since i didnt plan sufficiently for the future. My current city has finally reached the point of nearly 3k pops.

The city is currently humans only, though it isnt important to me that it stays that way. I have thought about introducing some dondorians on the western riverside once i expand there in the future, since they are better at most industial jobs. I would then convert most of the eastern riverside into science jobs. Does that sound like a good plan? Or should i stay purely human to avoid racial conflict? Also in that situation would dondorian slaves be better or free ones?

I no longer have any raw material production except the few pastures and fields near the river. At the Moment i have around 10 regions that pay me taxes in raw materials, enough for my Production. The last thing i did was building the big masonries in the south. The masonries and the Bakeries in the north are supplied by having my taxes be delivered to them via import depots (only exist to collect my taxes not for import) and over time i will probably replace the smaller industry buildings in the city with these bigger designs.

My current bottleneck is workforce, which is partly caused through my bad throne placement (in the west near the river) which causes excess taxes that cant be delivered to import depots do be dumped on the ground there. This causes the warehouses to hire an excessive amount of people to transport them the long way back. I could alleviate this problem by relocating the throne closer to the warehouses, but i want to later build a palace on the western riverside, so i would love a less temporary solution if you have any. Still, even without this problem i feel like im hiring a lot of logistics workers (400+, excluding science). Is this a normal amount at this point?

Any advice is welcome, especially any tips on how i could improve my general logistics and supply chain. Also, in your oppinion, what should be my next focus be? Any refined material or industry that would be particularly usefull at this point in the game? Anything that you notice that could be improved about my designs/ city?

Thank you in advance for any help or usefull tips!

I am not asking how to mechanically do it, but was just wondering what jobs your nobles have. As a pretty new player it seems to me like at some point you want most of them to produce gov points, right? Do you keep some of them for your cities industries? What is the best strategy?

I a new player and was just wondering what the difference is. Looking at the numbers it seems like the orchard is just a better version of the farm, right? Is there some drawback on the orchard? Or is the farm only usefull incase the prospects are significantly better?

I am a new Player, i currently have a few regions outside my capital that are paying taxes, and every day they come and deliver it. The problem is, that they only put it on the ground around my throne even though i have plenty of space in my warehouses. This leads to my warehouses having to employ absurd amounts of Workers just to fetch these resources. Is it possible to somehow decide where my Taxes should be delivered to?

New player here, my current city is around 1.7k pops large and i wanted to consider building a school system but i dont really know much about how many schools and daycares i need. I have looked at my pop numbers and around 400 so 1/4 of pops are children. At first i wanted to build enough daycares and schools to have one slot for every child, but i feel like that cant be intended since i would essentially end up with around half my city beeing daycares and schools, right? Or do you seriously have to use that huge amount of space? Assuming that isnt the case, do you have rule of thumb how many spaces i have to build per kid? I am playing humans btw. I cant really find much info online since apparently the daycares are new. Also i havent unlocked them yet, but how do universities Work? I havent tried it yet but i am assuming i can increase my max study limit with schools and universities, right? Is it optimal do always have it as high as possible or do i limit it at some point, considering the diminishing returns?

Any help is appreciated!

I am a new player, currently in my second game and have just conquered my first region. Now i have some questions about how i should manage this region.

1. What should my strategy for upgrading it be? Should i mostly focus on resource buildings or other buildings?
2. I heard elsewhere that i should keep my army in the city since it gives a loyalty bonus. When can i recall my army to the capital to train it and stop paying the upkeep? Or do i have to keep it on the world map? If yes, can i still somehow train the army?
3. Are gov points even usefull to me right now? From what i can see their only use is to upgrade the main building to the later stages, which i dont even have the tech for anyway.
4. Should i use the persecute/ exile/ massacre options for certain species? What difference does it make to me what species live there?
5. Do you have any other tips regarding regions?

Any help is appreciated : )

New player here, i want to plan the layout of my city, but i dont really know how enemy armies work. Do they only attack my city from the pathway entrances on the sides of the map? Assuming that, can i just focus on fortifying these areas with walls etc? Or can they appear from any map border? Would this mean that i have to build walls around my entire city? And by the way, how many tiles wide should i make my walls in your oppinion?

New player here, i want to start my first real playthrough and was just wondering how important the main road should be in my considerations on where to settle first. Is it viable to more or less ignore it in favor of better resource access?

Im currently playing Synthetic fertility the first time and have unlocked Colossus just now. Both neighbors i currently have access to are hiveminds. So i wanted to ask: if i use a devolving beam on a planet with hivemind pops, will they after beeing uplifted no longer be part of the hivemind so i can integrate them into my main species?

I just feel like there is a lot of information missing. Like specific buildings for some origins or ascensions are not on the wiki at all or not properly explained. Aditionally there is a lot of information ommited, for example in my last game (it was my second game as a new player) i picked colossus project and only then realized that there is an additional total war casus belli from the colossus which wasnt mentioned at all in the description of the ascension perk on the wiki or in the game. I also feel like a lot of things that deserve their own page, like the player crisis paths are just summarised on one page, which makes things harder to find. My first paradox game was ck3 and it had simminlar problems with the wiki imo but the tooltips in stellaris in that game make up for it by beeing waaaay better. Havent played many GS games aside from these 2 and civ so i cant really talk about other GS wikis but my idea of a good wiki would be like Elden Ring or Hollow Knight. They could probably at least make subpages for the player crisis paths and some ascension paths like archeoengeneers or colossus project imo. As a relatively new player i just wanted to know if u share this sentiment?

Edit: Not shaming the writers here and i dont feel like im experienced enough to help writing the wiki, just wanted to see if other people feel the same
