I’ve been playing this game a lot the past 4 weeks and I have most dlcs. What are some of your builds that you just play because you think it’s fun. Me personally I’ve been having a blast with a tall necro hive.

Since stellaris will soon be no more on gamepasss, if i buy the Xbox one edition (cuz it's the cheapest I found) will it also give me the next gen version? Like how it does when you buy Xbox one dlc but still get it's series x version

So I play on console and took a long break so numerous updates have come out that I didn't immediately jump into (machine age, cosmic storms, astral planes etc) and so I've been getting the hang of a few of these things since I started playing again and if I'm honest.... it's kinda a lot 😅 like I'm used to the early to mid game being relatively chill for the most part and not until the late-mid to end game all the bigger complicated stuff really starts kicking in but now I'm almost bogged down in stuff and it's not even 2300 yet. Like I shouldn't complain because more content is pretty much universally always good but gawd damn chill! I'm almost immediately swamped in space fauna stuff, cosmic storms & astral rifts to the point I can barely focus on just developing my planets & expanding my territory. Any anomalies I discover are almost immediately forgotten about because I got so much to do.

Is there any way I can just tone down some of this stuff so it's not so overwhelming? I like the content but maybe not all at once? Haha

Very few rules.

1. Don't be a dick

2. No soliciting money from other players

3. Try to have an empire built before the game. If you're experienced and can get a build down within 15ish minutes while everyones loading in, great. (had to add this because a new player took an hour and a half while 3 people were waiting)

If you're struggling with builds, there are a few very experienced players in the discord that can give you really solid advice.

I just found this game and now it’s leaving? Come on…

If I decide to buy, should I go for the deluxe option?

So I am making my first one and you can’t make minerals OK whatever it makes sense but then I realize you can still make consumer goods and alloys, which is impossible without minerals and you can’t make a mineral purification station and everything cost crystals or. Mots or whatever they’re called and to get those you need minerals at the end of the day, so how the hell do you make one without it going into planetary delft

Hosting on PS5 while playing with my friend, have all DLC enabled. The game runs great, up until you start reaching the 2250/2260s and beyond as the galaxy gets busier. That's about when the desyncing kicks off and becomes an increasing problem. Resyncing results in unintended bugs where my friend starts being unable to interact with certain diplomacy or fleet management functions. We end up saving the game and rebooting, and it works for a time... but the moment another desync happens, resyncing results in more of those glitches. The frequency only continues to increase as the years increment in-game.

Just wondering if anyone else playing multiplayer has experienced something similar. My buddy and I have temporarily stopped playing because the nigh endless cycle of desync, resync, glitching menus after the resync, save, reboot game has grown tiresome.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a DLC purchase for me from the new ones. Because I took so long to jump over to the new console version from the previous xbox one, I currently don't own The Machine Age, Astral Planes, Grand Archive, or Cosmic Storms. Which of these would you say is really good and I should get? Do you guys have any gripes with any of them? Does anyone really like any of these?

And I'm a bit afraid to buy the season 8 expansion pass because I saw in the reviews on the xbox playstore that the Rick the Cube species portrait that comes in that bundle, apparently corrupts peoples' saves. Does anyone know if that's been fixed and season pass 8 is now safe to buy, or should I continue to avoid it?

Anyone know some of the mechanisms for when fallen empires “attempt” to punish the player but I set the war goal for taking all but their main core system left and wining said war. Would that awaken them after I win the war even if it’s not endgame? Or would they only wake up if i was the one who declared war for claims and won leaving them still alive?

Haven’t played either of these origins yet, in my previous games i’ve been a more passive empire focusing on diplomacy ect, looking at creating a new empire with one of these origins

I’d prefer ones that have a focus on navy strength and dominance over others but i’m open to hear what other builds people have

Just looking for some fun empire builds, i’ve got all DLC and around ~250 hours on the game.

I tend to play coop multiplayer against the ai so pvp meta builds aren’t necessary.

Just done a tall virtual machine empire and that was fun but now i’m looking for something different, maybe something with a cool backstory or rp elements
