I have a bunch more tips, but I decided to keep this video at 10mins long! Want part 2? Watch all the way, like subscribe etc! What are some tips I could include in future episodes?
One small addition concerning the diplomatic stance. Expansionist lowers outpost build cost by 10%. Thats not only the alloys but also the influence. So instead of 75 influence, it costs 67 influence to build an outpost. That adds up quite a bit.
talking about the alloy trick - you should either use the alloys to get more science ships or you can sell 25 *a day* to get enough energy to buy minerals for an immediate(around 10 days) research lab
That’s true, I tend to hoard them for the colony ship and outposts. But yeah if your energy can’t handle the 50 minerals best to sell some alloys monthly!
Jesus i have 600 houers in this game and Evan I never did the math on the hole expansionist vs isolationist thing, thank you good sir I will use this to purge so much more zenos
Haha no problem! Tbh I didn’t know about it till recently and it blew my mind! A little side note I forgot to say in the video. The outpost construction cost for expansion also includes reduced influence cost! So bare that in mind too!
@@areon5312 yeah! In ‘meta’ games people tend to not expand past their guaranteed planets, so isolationist is more appealing. Obviously these tips aren’t a ‘do this all the time and win’. more so to point out these options exist and you can choose it depending on your scenario! As I didn’t know changing stance early was viable yet alone sometimes better!
Of cours i agree i will tipicley full tilt expand to like 15 systems dreaning my influens to the bone then undergo a decade of solitude before going to war then repeting the process but for a more careful player id go for what you said thank you for the extra strategy for my collection
Intermediate tip: Migration treaties worth very valuable influence, so instead of keeping them, just form it, send a colony ship with the new specie or species, then break it for a temporary negative diplomatic minimal hit. Get the new specie and safe influence for expansion and non-aggression pacts instead, a win-win.
You can start your first colony ship on month 2. Montu Plays had this tip, but you empty your ships to get the 120+ alloys, then sell 50 alloys for energy, set up the monthly trade to get rid of your food surplus, then wait one month. You should have just enough energy to buy 100 consumer goods. Testing this with a normal empire just left me with 204 food, 203 consumer and 208 alloys, which you can then start your colony ship.
Oh damn you’re right! Montu will always top me min max wise but hopefully I can bring to the table just a bunch of random mechanics that can be optimised in this way!
Right at the Start: Unemploy both Administrators: They use 2 Comsumer Goods each and are totally worthless until you are about to finish a tech (over 70 months) or adopt a tradition (21 months). As a result you have safed 21 x 4 = 84 Consumer goods. Those are greatly needed for the Colony Ships.
I usually switch over to isolationist after my first 1 - 2 colonies. If you go hard into the Expansion tree and you're playing a spiritualist, then you've already got plenty of unity, and you'll get a lot more benefit from developing colonies earlier. In general, though, isolationist is definitely better
I tried the this and now my minerals consumer goods and energy are permanently restocking to full stockpile capacity providing a maximum snowballing economy effect. Its the real deal
After learning that hive minds didn’t need consumer goods I have been trying to find better ways to get my resources pumping this can help me a lot though I don’t think I can change my trade policy if I go swarm
You forgot the crime deal tip. If you get rid of your ruler/specialist jobs at the beginning then wait a day, then activate the crime lord deal in planetary decisions and then fill the jobs immediately you can get a free 10 stability. (Non-gesalt empires only)
I think they do, just as they weren’t employed it didn’t show. According to the wiki non lithoid pops produce +1 food and lithoid a produce +1 minerals. However, my point still stands as the normal jobs produce a bunch more resources, and you don’t need amenities etc as of the start of the planet!
@@Ep3o Hmm, I thought it was more, maybe 4-5 food. But still less than regular farmers, so with the buffed designation, rather useless until 5 pops, where you lose the designstion.
I have never liked the naked ship 'hack' to be honest. The first game that I ever played, I had some people walking me through it, they told me to do that and I did, and then the Cult (Final Crucible) showed up, and I was left with my pants down and forced to upgrade my ships again, in order to go to war with them. Since then I've had better starts, I've had worse starts. I've tried doing the 'naked ship trick' sometimes, sometimes not. And from my experience, I personally DONT do it from now on. And here are my reasons: 1. It's annoying. Having to do that and then remember to equip your ships again when you want to use them is kind of a pain in the ass to be honest. 2. It invites attack. Doing this will reduce your fleet power to Zero. That will cause the AIs to say 'hey look he's weak, let's plant claims and go to war now!' The more 'benevolent' AI will see that you're weak and try to vassalize you instead. Either way, very annoying. 3. Even if you are alone for quite time or you're surrounded by Xenophiles who have zero intention of going to war with you, you are STILL going to run into random hostile aliens that will block your expansion paths. Vanilla or DLC, this is unavoidable. You'll have to reequip your ships to deal with them. Unless you like random space ameobas/crystal beings/mining drones telling you where you can and cannot grow. 4. Relegating to 2 and 3, when hostilities do start, you'll have to waste time putting weapons back on your ships in order to actually fight the war or skirmishes. Time that they will then use to get a leg up on you. Time you could have been using to beat the breaks off of them. "Buhbuhbuh you can just put defense platforms at the choke points early game and whittle down their fleets while you -" Well that kind of defeats the whole point of doing this, doesn't it? You're making your ships naked to save alloys... which you then spend on defense platforms to buy time for you to regain alloys for you to upgrade your ships. Or... you could just not try to be too clever and just spend the alloys on the ships and not have this issue in the first place. 5. You still have to pay to re-upgrade your ships. All you're really doing is shifting the costs ahead of time. Better to just pay once and be done with it, especially when it comes to throwaway ships like corvettes, than to do this nonsense. If you want extra alloys, you're better off buying like 5-10 per month when you start while selling off items you really don't have much of a use for (food, c. goods) for extra credits (which you can't make much use of early on anyway.) "But with the alloys I get from the 3 corvettes I can get two more science/con ships right away!" ... Yeah, and what are you going to do with them? You forget here that science ships need scientists, and you need unity to hire those, so you're still capped at how fast you can get those out and surveying. As for construction ships, having more than two early game really does you no favors, as you are capped from building starbases by three things: alloys, influence, and how fast your ships are surveying systems. Even if you nip the alloy problem in the bud, the influence problem will still slow you down, so even if you're just fast-building starbases to expand your borders as fast as possible, it really does not pay to have more than 2 or 3 (one or two for building starbases and one for building mining/research stations). So you got 200 alloys and spent them on science and/or construction ships. Neato. Now watch them mill about your homeworld for 5 minutes because you can't do anything with them yet, and by the time you actually could buy the scientists and/or have enough worlds surveyed with the one you actually CAN make use of, you've have the alloys to buy them anyway for some time (provided you aren't being an idiot with your economy).
Tip for making a colony. When you de-prio the colony work jobs they will be unemployed for 800+ days before switching to worker and the planet will be very unhappy. The best thing you can do is make a building (Robot assembly) asap and put that specialist to use there. The best minmax is to allow 1 colony job and when u got the assembly allow 0 If you have expansion tradition and got 2 pop U will have to make an extra specialist slot even for mining/farming/gen worlds I recommend holo-threater and put that pop as a muscian, since u will end up needing the amenities pretty fast since nobody likes to do manual labor lel..
It's will be the same for a month, then the price will go up because the demand went up. I usually put a price I'm willing to pay and it will only charge you the current rate.
Reminds me of my trade playthroughs with my militaristic friends. Barely producing 23 surplus goods; While I'm exporting 4,000 alloys, and hundreds of rare resources. Some people just never learn that 'less' is more.
Im a new player learning from a friend and he's told me a lot of these. I had a question he wasn't able to answer. > When looking for habitable worlds why not send your starting fleet to look for them? I get the alloys but wouldn't finding your initial worlds off set that a bit?
This video is super outdated, exploring with your fleet wasn’t added till recently. So yea, exploring with them to find planets / choke points it’s great now! Once you’ve found them, you can use your science ship to survey directly to them
If you start in the solar system the guaranteed habitables I *think* are always in Alpha Centauri and Sirius. The Alpha Centauri habitable is one I always will name Planet or Chiron if I'm playing UNE.
if u dont change the body type for the ships when u strip them u get 145 alloys rather than 126 also remember to disband ur worthless ships so u dont pay that upkeep and to remove ur crew quarters or equivalent and trade hub for that sweet sweet extra 2 energy per month
Consumer benefits only makes sense if consumer goods are worth at least 2 energy credits -- i find that after using consumer benefits for a while the price tends to drop
In general I disagree. Freeing up all of your industrial sectors to be alloy producers is pretty powerful. If you have heavily focused on building solid trade value then your energy income is already going to be powerful, and the subsidy it gives to your consumer goods is so high that it should easily cover your early - mid game consumer good needs.
Some of these Tips are based on Your Race only, and cant be done by other empires. You might wna say that in the title lol My race doesn't have all the options your showing. Although my race has -100% pop growth speed and -75 pop assemble speed lol So it might just be the way i made my empire lol ^_^
Living Standards affect the weighting of the Happiness of different social Strata, such as making the Happiness of Ruler POPs matter more while Workers matter less. This weighted Happiness is the Approval Rating on the planet, and it has a serious impact on the planet’s Stability, which in turn affects productivitu.
I think it depends on which living standard you pick, e.g. academic gives 15% happiness to ruler and specialist and then none (unlike -% like others) to workers and slaves! But yes you’re right. Early on I don’t think there’s much point switching unless you have academic hence why I only suggested that early on. Later on in the game you can probably afford to increase standards for better weighted happiness depending on your empire!
@@Ep3o Honestly, it really annoys me how materialist is so much better than spiritualist in un-modded Stellaris. Between the research speed buff, the academic privilege living standard and the technocracy civic.
Here's a Tip: The easier your starting location turns out to be the less nice things you will find. Seeing planets you can use right off the bat means your less likely to get other "good things" early on like bigger planets a few jumps away RNG at its best lol Using this thought process if your starting location looks easy and you have a 25 world right their.. START over as that means something nasty will also be close. if its to easy its not worth it lol you ether get spanked or you find no cool things close. Although that could all be rubbish, lol as its just my observation of playing 2.5k hours I'm sure many have double my play time lol That being said i do only play on admiral or grand admiral. My goal is not to "WIN" but to survive lol
This has recently changed with the Lem update. You now need the mercantile tradition tree to unlock the other trade policies, I think its in the first tier after unlocking. If mercantile is worth taking depends on your empire type - trade in general and clerks specifically are not that good the policies however are pretty good.
I've never played console, but asked people on my discord they said "You click on the star base then in the bottom left of the menu it will say trade lanes. Click on that then go over to your capital system in the galaxy map and press X on it if Xbox."
im retarded at math so correct me if im wrong but the retrofit thing you did the alloys makes no sense to me. it looks like cheating to farm alloys and i don't feel satisfaction from doing something the developers probably didnt intend for you to do. no hate or anything just saying lol but i will do the isolationist trick
It essentially is creating more alloys than you’re meant to start with, but they start you with 3 ships so maybe it isn’t. It defo is worth it though, because an early planet is super super valuable and getting resources from this trick helps you get a colony ship building by month 2! You don’t have to use it if you don’t want too, it’s a bit exploity xD Glad the isolationist trick will help you :)
@@Ep3o OHHHH I GET IT. I dont know why i wasnt understanding that lol yeah if you're just recycling your own corvette's that totally fine. derp. i wonder why they let you yank out the hyperdrive
@@Ep3o I read the tooltip and it was like "These ships will not be able to leave their home system" and now im imagining some crazy dude playing stellaris making an entire fleet of ships with no hyperdrives to just sit there forever lol
He said 5 mounths takes 5 minutes so then 31/60 = 0.51666667 seconds a day passes in whatever speed he uses and then it means he has a good pc and good internet speed
OK ---. You are not running a RACE here but trying to Teach Students! Slow down and Give your Students time to soak in What you are Talking about.. As well as see what your Hyper Mach number Curser lands on before you jerk it away. At the speed you are Blabbing and Jerking, most of what you are saying goes in one ear and out the other if they understand it at all!!! Ask any Teacher and they will tell you teaching is not a RACE or Auction... It is a marathon so slow down and pace yourself!
this is interesting and useful but the the video seems slow and not very entertaining. I watched purely because I am a noob a Stellars and I need as much help as I can get. but to educated people that just want a few more tips would probably rather figure it out for themselves than watch this video. now don get me wrong the tips in your video are extremely helpful but as a youtuber you need to make it more entertaining. me personally I am not a youtuber but I specialize in marketing and I have a few successful youtuber friends. by the way I love your RUclips profile pic I used to love the movie (iron giant).

You should mention being able to terraform whilst colonizing.

Expansionist lowers outpost build cost by 10%. Thats not only the alloys but also the influence.
So instead of 75 influence, it costs 67 influence to build an outpost. That adds up quite a bit.
And influence is the most important resourse in the beginning of the game imo, at least if hyperlane density is low, because it lets take chokepoints.
nah maybe if u have enough area to establish your country, maybe around 5 years? u can change it to lsollisionist
talking about the alloy trick - you should either use the alloys to get more science ships or you can sell 25 *a day* to get enough energy to buy minerals for an immediate(around 10 days) research lab

Downgrading ships no longer gives alloys. Upgrade cost now has a minimum cap of zero.

Since 3.4.5 the extra alloys exploit doesn't work anymore.
I have never liked the naked ship 'hack' to be honest.
The first game that I ever played, I had some people walking me through it, they told me to do that and I did, and then the Cult (Final Crucible) showed up, and I was left with my pants down and forced to upgrade my ships again, in order to go to war with them.

I've been playing Stellaris for YEARS and didnt know about Academic Privilege's secret bonus!
I don't know man I'd rather have 10% lowered influence cost on stations than 10% more unity at the beginning.

The only Trade Policy I have available is Wealth Creation, how do I get access to Consumer Benefits and/or Marketplace of Ideas?
This has recently changed with the Lem update. You now need the mercantile tradition tree to unlock the other trade policies, I think its in the first tier after unlocking. If mercantile is worth taking depends on your empire type - trade in general and clerks specifically are not that good the policies however are pretty good.
That last part is gonna need a second watch.
but what if your robots on a ringworld. isolation vs expansion. tough questions
Wish Xbox had mods, I would bring in Halo ships and have so much damn fun
Oh yeah.. I might use a Covenant ship mod though, since they're way more beautiful than the UNSC versions..
Isnt Xbox getting mod support soon
@@notthatguy424 That's more news than I've ever heard?
How do I connect my star bases to my trade hubs on console?? I try but it never lets me. I’m confused
I've never played console, but asked people on my discord they said "You click on the star base then in the bottom left of the menu it will say trade lanes. Click on that then go over to your capital system in the galaxy map and press X on it if Xbox."
@@Ep3o I do that and no matter where I go, if I push X it does nothing. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m missing something.
@@DanielFernandez-gv6iy are you running them all to your capital?
@@Ep3o I believe so unless I’m doing something wrong. I just started this game a few days ago lol
@@DanielFernandez-gv6iy it should be working then! No problem!

Wait I already know this
I tried the fleet tip, I upgraded but they aren’t attacked any hostile ship just flying around it??
bcs you dont have weapons on them when u reset the design
@@LordmkKING67 thanks
Nice. Thank you.
i will drop dead if you tell me bulding emoty hulls and then filling them later is cheaper.
oh shit these tips is what i needed, yesss ,yesss! aaaaaahhhfvfvjhfdhdjkhf. I'm happy.
Enjoy :D
Just me or do non Americans tend to play games more where you actually have to think to play ?
Just you
yes bro we know ur brain is too small for that
I am just here for the YT algorithm!
I’ve played this game on and off for about 2 years, I suck at it tho lol
im retarded at math so correct me if im wrong but the retrofit thing you did the alloys makes no sense to me. it looks like cheating to farm alloys and i don't feel satisfaction from doing something the developers probably didnt intend for you to do. no hate or anything just saying lol but i will do the isolationist trick
It essentially is creating more alloys than you’re meant to start with, but they start you with 3 ships so maybe it isn’t.
It defo is worth it though, because an early planet is super super valuable and getting resources from this trick helps you get a colony ship building by month 2!
You don’t have to use it if you don’t want too, it’s a bit exploity xD
Glad the isolationist trick will help you :)
@@Ep3o OHHHH I GET IT. I dont know why i wasnt understanding that lol yeah if you're just recycling your own corvette's that totally fine. derp. i wonder why they let you yank out the hyperdrive
@@christopherjones5700 no problem! Glad I could help! Hyper drives are the only non essential part on the side bar apparently! XD
@@Ep3o I read the tooltip and it was like "These ships will not be able to leave their home system" and now im imagining some crazy dude playing stellaris making an entire fleet of ships with no hyperdrives to just sit there forever lol
@@christopherjones5700 the ultimate playing tall ship build haha! Save some alloys at the very least
Not anymore, soon tm
Not anymore! It has been patched.
*BananAnon*
He really be appealing though
He said 5 mounths takes 5 minutes so then 31/60 = 0.51666667 seconds a day passes in whatever speed he uses and then it means he has a good pc and good internet speed
Can confirm xD r/theydidthemath
this aged well
big brain cells game
Too many cuts and jumps. It was definitely not an enjoyable video. Good tips though.

*RUclips maker explains certain aspects of the game*
A person who is born from syncretic evolution: huh?
OK ---. You are not running a RACE here but trying to Teach Students! Slow down and Give your Students time to soak in What you are Talking about.. As well as see what your Hyper Mach number Curser lands on before you jerk it away. At the speed you are Blabbing and Jerking, most of what you are saying goes in one ear and out the other if they understand it at all!!! Ask any Teacher and they will tell you teaching is not a RACE or Auction... It is a marathon so slow down and pace yourself!
this is interesting and useful but the the video seems slow and not very entertaining. I watched purely because I am a noob a Stellars and I need as much help as I can get. but to educated people that just want a few more tips would probably rather figure it out for themselves than watch this video. now don get me wrong the tips in your video are extremely helpful but as a youtuber you need to make it more entertaining. me personally I am not a youtuber but I specialize in marketing and I have a few successful youtuber friends. by the way I love your RUclips profile pic I used to love the movie (iron giant).
oh, just another note your intro was awesome I loved the banana meme lol. you did a good job there.
oh fuck it wasn't iron giant it was c3-p0, I feel really stupid.
Oh god vtubers 😔
Huh?
@@Ep3o I swear you said vtubers somewhere they are wild and unpredictable!
@@corinthiansdaniels3728 I have no idea, I didn’t think I did in this video xD but true
@@Ep3o I just seen 1 too many of nux taku video and anytime I even think I hear of vtubers I just remembered his redo of healer video..... Don't watch it save yourself the mental scars
@@corinthiansdaniels3728 okay lmao I shall not google it xD
