You're an excellent teacher. I work as a teacher myself and a large part of the training for that is about learning how to present the material in the right order to understand it by building the foundation blocks of knowledge first, and then building up from those. This video does exactly that. I had given up on Stellaris after they changed the planet management to this new system and even ASpec's explanation didn't really help. Your video has and you've earned yourself a sub!
@@CommonSenserules1981 It's still the same. 2.6.2 did not change any of the trade mechanics. Neither did the Federations DLC. I have a guide for trade right here. And it shows clearly how to setup routes and manually route them at 7:35 ruclips.net/video/75yaV1I8a1o/видео.htmlm35s
I'm also a teacher and I second this. I haven't played since before the new planer management system and this answered a lot of questions. You structure the material really well. Also, you make it clear why you make decisions you make (some commentators give advice but don't actually explicate why they think it's better or worse to do a certain thing a certain way).
Dude, that is how you make a tutorial. Not a 1 hour gameplay full of "mmmm... eh... ". I used to play CIV, and I wanted to play Stellaris, but there are so many diferent concepts between both games. That is exactly what I need to learn and enjoy the game. Thanks so much for your effort.
@@ColorsFadeGaming Great video! Subscribed! Just picked up basic Stellaris during last week's Steam sale - so I've been checking out newbie videos - yours are the best! Indexed with time stamps, clear explanations of the screens - and you have a nice calm speaking voice. This is a professional grade tutorial and Paradox should show you a considerable amount of appreciation for making their game vastly more accessible to a newbie. And I thought Civ6 was complicated...
@@ColorsFadeGaming Your videos changed the game for me. I liked it just playing willy-nilly on easy/normal mode. You taught me to play like I know what the hell I'm doing and I didn't have to 'trial-and-error' through another playthrough. For real, I just started, I have 19 hours in this game and it feels like a completely different game. Now I want to tackle different empire and species types. I want total war, no war, hive minds, corporations... This one video made the game come alive instantly. And I now feel capable of seeing the neccessary nuance in the rest of the systems without being blinded by the variety available in the basics. I know where and what to look at in some core mechanics. And that gives serious clarity into a lot of other mechanics, and informs how a lot of systems play together. This video is beginner level, but still imparts deep understanding. EXCELLENT. Thank you!
There's another reason to clear blockers: the Hidden Worlds archaeology dig site has a chance of spawning every time you clear a blocker, and if you complete the site it can give you +20 administrative capacity.
The level of passion and care you give to this Stellaris presentation is amazing. Your voice is hypnotising and calm to listen to. I've learned so much about this game because of this video I never knew before!
This is hands-down the best tutorial on Stellaris that I've ever watched. I've developed technical courseware for a living for years, and your layout, what information to include and how to represent it, is outstanding. I've played Stellaris since inception, and I learned more than a few things from this tutorial. Thanks for your hard work.
Of note: When resettling pops, don't forget to consider the stratum (type) of job they're trained for. For example, If you resettle a specialist, and the new planet only has worker jobs....then that pop will be unemployed untill retrained.
Yes, this is important if you're moving them to a planet with open jobs. I'd say 90% of the time, for me at least, this is not an issue though, as I'm moving pops on a high population planet that doesn't have anymore available jobs to a colony that is just getting started. Those colonies aren't going to have available jobs of any kind; you just gotta move the pops and load the build queues. But good point for the other cases, yeah.
@@ColorsFadeGaming Yep. I ran into this by not paying attention to the pop I clicked on to resettle, now I had an unemployed pop on a planet that had jobs it wasn't trained for. Couldn't move it back, cuz the original planet promoted a worker to the open specialist job. Love this game❤️
Just started playing Stellaris yesterday and after watching a few videos, yours is clearly a cut above the others I've seen. 10min in and I already liked and subscribed (it was the red and green diagrams for the food and mining world that did it). Really well organised and I appreciate that you break down exactly what will be covered as you go. Great tutorial.
I swear, I have restarted my game at least five times trying to figure everything out. Then I found your videos and I am actually getting the hang of it now, it's really fun when it finally starts to make sense, lol. Thanks for the videos, such a huge help :)
Thank you so much for this. Clearly put a lot of effort into not just the video itself but the time stamps afterwards as well, without a single ad on the video. You're a legend.
These videos are remarkably well articulated, I subbed within 5 mins and have been watching the Newbie Play through vids. Also, if we ever become technologically advanced enough to explore space, I'd feel comfortable with you running that program of works. Thanks.
I have just recently purchased the game and found myself in a total struggle trying to learn it! Reading reddits, watching 10 min tutorials, etc etc. If I had started here, things would have been much cleared. I have now subscribed and if anyone ever asks me who to watch for a stellar Stellaris tutorial, I'll send them here. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into this!!
This reminds me of the "how to operate your cash register" videos when I worked at Walmart lol No offense. Your videos are actually very helpful. I'm only talking about the very beginning where you point out what we are going to learn. Just thought that was kinda' funny.
I was starting to think I was stupid because after watching several ASpec’s tutorial videos, I still didn’t understand anything. After watching your videos, it all makes sense. Thanks for being such a good teacher! Subscribed!
THIS, right here, is how you do a tutorial video! It gives you an overview of what you're trying to and then breaks down how you do that in to bite-sized chunks. There was a LOT here that I completely missed from other vids and my first two play-through's, but after watching this, several mechanics just went 'CLICK' for me and make so much more sense now. Solid work my friend!
This is very professional content - subscribed right away. No time was wasted with useless bla bla. For an older player like me, this is delightful because many youtubers are not able to structure, let alone verbalize, their thoughts in a clear and coherent way, thus making listening to them a painful experience. The timestaps with the respective topics is also a nice bonus. Thank you for the time and effort you put into the video!
Well done man. This game is killing me because I want so badly to love it but I am way too impatient for it! The planets was one space that was killing me- right when I got kind of used to them- BOOM they're now totally different. Appreciate you demystifying this for us all. +1
This is an incredible tutorial, so well thought out and broken down. I am a middle school teacher myself and I just have to say you have a knack for instruction, consider teaching :)
Thank you! I've been trying to figure out a way to make a career switch to something that allows me to do knowledge transference. So far, coming up empty. But I feel there has to be a gig out there that's right for me!
As others have said, this was a fantastically organized tutorial right up to and including the Summary at the end. It was great to hear you prioritize certain things, build a structure, and reinforce that idea throughout. Thanks very much for this!
I realize having 100 hours in a paradox game doesn’t mean much, but I was floored by how little I actually understood about planetary management until I watched this guide. Sure balance changes happen in patches but holy crap a year later this is still GOLD. Really well done guide, can’t give enough praise.
Man, what a great video. Really thoroughly put together, really structured, really well explained. You don't waste a second for nonsense, love it. I wish all youtubers were like you when it comes to guides... if not that, at least all school and university teachers and professors! lol
Ah, thanks Seeyan86. It's just a result of having to listen to tutorials myself. I hate the amount of time people waste, and I hate how much pandering for clicks and likes and subs they do at the start of their videos. So I decided to put together something a bit more "professional". Maybe I should do a tutorial on making a tutorial LOL
Played 40 hours without knowing how to add districts. Was wondering why resource management was so hard and why housing was non existent. Thanks for the tips.
Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much, there were some details I never understood. I am pretty noob at stellaris but I am loving the game. Again, thank you for your work.
Dude!! This is awesome! A buddy of mine is trying to organize a weekly stellaris game with like 6 of us but wasn't sure about joining cause I havent played much since they changed all the planet management stuff. This video not only helps me catch up but makes me excited to play again. Super well formatted and love the use of your graphic overlays. Reminds me of commercial grade how to guides I write for work (in a good way). Keep it up!
Thanks man. I've had to write some documentation in my own work in my earlier years, and I've always been kind of disappointed in how bad some documentation and guides are done. So I just try and do my best.
Thank you so much, your tutorial series for Stellaris is the BEST. I finally can build up a sustaining empire. Every time I create an empire after I recently got Stellaris several days ago I would build up a moderate sized empire and then it would collapse under its own weight of upkeep costs and a few other things.
Wow, returning player here overwhelmed by the new system, you just broke it all down in such a descriptive and concise manner. This should be a tutorial every player watches first!
this was seriously great! I can't overstate it. Thank you. I was getting angry at some of the "beginner tutorials" I've seen. They gloss over so much. I get it! After so many hours played it can be hard to get into the noob mindset. That's why I think this tutorial is so great.
@@ColorsFadeGaming Well you have helped me today with your clear, concise guidance! If I hadn't seen this video, I could well have given up after a few more hours. This has given me hope that I can get my head around this game! That is a priceless Gift! Thank you!
THIS is the best tutorial for planets bar none. I love how you broke down and presented the material in such a way that builds upon previously mentioned knowledge instead of vomiting it all at once. Thank you!
Just started playing this game recently, and though this is a bit out of date now, it's still insanely helpful. It should give me enough of a basis to figure out how the consumer good districts fit in. I assume they count as a jobs district. Anyways, thanks so much!
I find there are not many truly good guides for this game for completely new players. I appreciate this very much. Incredibly detailed without being too overbearing. It's a bit out of date but still very useful.
This is perfect. I constantly struggled with getting a good start because I tried to do everything with my starter planet. Would usually lead to me being massively behind and slow to expand, which was a major frustration I had. This is a great help.
I think that's normal. When you only have one planet, it kind of has to do everything. But that's why we want to expand quickly, and then this video's tips come in
@@ColorsFadeGaming Can you also do maybe a topic regarding managing multiple planets and refugees? (If it's already included in the video I apologize, I'm only half way through this course of yours sensei)
Came here after seeing the video on Steam discussions, very well made this video. Every new players who want to know about this mechanic should watch it. Keep up the good work! Cheers
Youre one true teacher coz listenig your lecture at normal pace will make you sleep but at 1.75x you make a lot of concepts clear like all good professors.....
This was one of the most comprehensive tutorials i ever saw. So much attention to detail, it looks way better than 95% of the presentations/lectures that i saw in all my life. Great job !
I was huge into this game on the console before the big update. After everything changed, I quickly became overwhelmed and stopped playing all together. I felt the pull to play again and decided to try these tutorials. The official one helped, but not in the way I needed. I saw this video and almost didn't give it a chance when I heard his voice. I'm used to big and energetic voices and his softer approach was jarring at first. But once he got rolling, I was glued. This video is very clear and extremely helpful. I am so excited to start playing again. Very well done!!!
I started playing this game when it came out but have not put any significant time into it since they reworked the planet systems. Every patch felt like I was further and further behind on what I needed to know to be successful. Quarantine got me wanting to invest some time into it, and this video absolutely is the best guide for learning how to handle your shit. Thanks for making this, it is incredibly helpful.
Crystal clear, concise and comprehensive. I quit this game and uninstalled it back when they overhauled the planetary management system. I recently decided to give it another shot but I was still just flailing around desperately with the PM system. This tutorial cracked it wide open for me and now I know exactly what to do. You did a damn good job, dude. Now I think I'll be watching all your Stellaris tutorials, even for the things I thought I understood, just in case.
I came in 5th in a multiplayer match but dropped off at the end with a bunch of guys I met. They asked about why I fell off so hard. Then asked if my districts were messed up. I said “you can edit the districts?” Never felt more stupid in my life at that moment. Figured it out after one more game but this helped clear things up, thanks man.
This is an excellent presentation! I'm so glad I found your channel! I've told my Stellaris buddy about this, because he's just starting out in the game, too.
I. Love. This. Video! I am only 12 minutes in and you have taught me more than a couple of hours from other tutorials. I appreciate that you go deep into detail on why and what and how. After watching the first 10 minutes I have started to save my colonies and stop operating in the red and massively increase output. Thanks so much!
I played this game for 6 hours and led my people into stagnation. Frustrated, I turned to the RUclips and happened across this video. You turned my game around. Big thanks.
I realize this video was made roughly 3 years ago but wanted to drop a comment anyway. Wow, just wow. This was extremely well done. I am a new player that just picked up the game and I'm playing on the console so there are noticeable differences but I was still able to pick up so much. Thank you for speaking in a calm and proper pace so that my brain was able to process the info as you gave it out. Some of the videos I've watched recently are being narrated as if they are being charged by the second. I hope you are still making videos for the newer versions of the game. I'll look for them but will make sure and watch all of the videos for this playlist. Thanks again.
Thank you for the Tips and trick, after watching this video I am now can understand how to manage everything inside the Planet, Sectors, Governors, etc.
Stellaris always scared me, because of it's complicated and overwhelming Mechanics. With your amazing tutorials I feel like i could play it as easy as an TD. And now thanks to you i'm starting to play the Game in mid 2021. Best tutorials of any Game, ever. Thanks for your hard work.
I only played gestalt-consciousnesses for quite some time and I had struggles getting back into the economy-thing. But this video was a great guide for helping out my economy. Thanks really much! 😊👍
You know what? I've watched alot of tutorials around this game just trying to get to grips with it all... this guy's are top notch, so clear and easily understandable. Stellaris has a lot of systems within systems and is very overwhelming for a newbie but with these tutorials it is broken down nicely and I finally feel that i understand what is going on...thanks for this brilliant content...subbed👍
Superb tutorial! I was struggling to get a grasp on the mechanics of stellaris and your tutorials have helped me so much. Kudos to you! Ps - Can you make a video regarding ship designing ? And how to react to each situation? When to make fleets, like to create fleets right from the beginning or from mid game. Something like that would really help.
I knew I was doing something wrong by trying to generalize all my planets. Didn't even know about specializing. your tutorials are going to make me have a fresh start on a new game where I actually know what I'm doing. Thanks!
I was about to giving up on this game because it's so complicated, I couldn't find any good tutorial, but then I found your tutorial and you put back the flame in me, thanks a lot !
One cool thing i learned about clearing blockers by trial and error. You can actually start clearing blockers during the colonization time and they will complete on parallel
brooo I was going at this all wrong i tried making equal destruction and buildings of each amd i was always barly scraping by on good smh, then again I also played the first 4 hours without researching anything so I was hella behind i fell but God is this game fun
Coming here after just getting stellaris, this is still one of the best tutorials I could find and I'm absolutely loving your way of teaching. Outstanding work, thank you!
Your videos have really helped me out getting started in stellaris. I usually play with a friend and I've been gradually getting closer to his level of skill. Super helpful
Your videos are great. I am brand new to Stellaris and it's pretty overwhelming. I got 2.5.1 not knowing much about the game in general and I've now come to realize this is a pretty new patch! Does anyone know of any other guides or online resources for 2.5.1?
This is super usefull, thanks! Most people just play a game and explain along the way, but I don't want to watch 6 hours of gameplay to find the information I was looking for.
@@InvalidShortcut Not really. My next plan was to do a simple Let's Play Tutorial series, like I did for Galactic Civilizations 3, and just try, as best as possible, to explain every move I make while I play, and hope players can glean what they desire from it. I have considered doing only one other stand-alone tutorial, and that's for war/victory, but I'm only going to do that if I see a real demand for it.
It takes time. You can watch a load of videos, but there's no substitute for playing. I never watched a single video; just played it and learned. Give it time. It's fun once you get the hang of it :)
You are not alone! After a week, I am part way through my first game... Which I am now abandoning. Needless to say, with virtually zero understanding what the hell was going on! I didn't even know how to merge ships! My economy went BOOM in no time at all and I was chasing my own tail trying to manage the chaos. Anyway - after ~10 hours of fiddling and 5 hours of watching videos, I am starting to believe that I might figure this game out at some point! I used to play Stars! and I'm hoping this game may be a substitute for that game.
With my paltry 196 hours of stellaris from when you could only colonize systems with influence(!), I feel like this is the video I have been waiting for to help me get back into the game. I will favorite it as a reference guide for sure. Thank you for the clean, easy and informative presentation! Cheers!! :D

They made the game alot worse now - I still do not know how to creat trade links or how to gian enough power.
@@CommonSenserules1981 It's still the same. 2.6.2 did not change any of the trade mechanics. Neither did the Federations DLC.

finaly a planetary guide that isnt using a diffrent planet UI and gives the information in a consumable fashion for beginners who have no idea.
I aim to please. Especially beginners!
Totally Agree! Very digestible information. Just what I'm looking for.
Jesus Christ 45 minutes for planetary management
Edit: never mind it was totally worth it.
Do I already know all of this? Yes.
Do I have more than 1000 hours in this game? Yes.
Am I still going to watch this and thoroughly enjoy it. *Yes.*

I appreciate the sentiment :-)
I have never heard someone explain anything as clearly as you do.

I have never seen such a detailed tutorial before, this is isn't only because of effort, this is a prime example of talent
I'm so glad for your Tutorials, because I always got my ass wiped mid-game. This makes it so much easier to understand what I'm aiming for.
Glad its helpful!
Thank you so much, your tutorial series for Stellaris is the BEST. I finally can build up a sustaining empire. Every time I create an empire after I recently got Stellaris several days ago I would build up a moderate sized empire and then it would collapse under its own weight of upkeep costs and a few other things.
Glad to help!
This guide is excellent! I'm just starting Stellaris, and wanted some guidance on the district interface. You nailed it!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!
Wow, returning player here overwhelmed by the new system, you just broke it all down in such a descriptive and concise manner. This should be a tutorial every player watches first!
Glad you found it helpful Kirb!
this was seriously great! I can't overstate it. Thank you. I was getting angry at some of the "beginner tutorials" I've seen. They gloss over so much. I get it! After so many hours played it can be hard to get into the noob mindset. That's why I think this tutorial is so great.
Thanks Zen. I'm glad it helped. That's basically why I have this channel; that's how it all started. I just want to help players with games.
@@ColorsFadeGaming Well you have helped me today with your clear, concise guidance! If I hadn't seen this video, I could well have given up after a few more hours. This has given me hope that I can get my head around this game! That is a priceless Gift! Thank you!
THIS is the best tutorial for planets bar none. I love how you broke down and presented the material in such a way that builds upon previously mentioned knowledge instead of vomiting it all at once. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Just started playing this game recently, and though this is a bit out of date now, it's still insanely helpful. It should give me enough of a basis to figure out how the consumer good districts fit in. I assume they count as a jobs district. Anyways, thanks so much!
I find there are not many truly good guides for this game for completely new players. I appreciate this very much. Incredibly detailed without being too overbearing. It's a bit out of date but still very useful.
Glad I could help!
This is perfect. I constantly struggled with getting a good start because I tried to do everything with my starter planet. Would usually lead to me being massively behind and slow to expand, which was a major frustration I had. This is a great help.
I think that's normal. When you only have one planet, it kind of has to do everything. But that's why we want to expand quickly, and then this video's tips come in
Most youtubers bombard you with information and go over things so fast, you go slowly and explain every single thing. You should be a teacher!
I am. I'm teaching you to play Stellaris :-) Thanks for the comment!
@@ColorsFadeGaming Can you also do maybe a topic regarding managing multiple planets and refugees? (If it's already included in the video I apologize, I'm only half way through this course of yours sensei)
Came here after seeing the video on Steam discussions, very well made this video. Every new players who want to know about this mechanic should watch it. Keep up the good work!
Cheers
Thank you! Glad you found it useful.
Youre one true teacher coz listenig your lecture at normal pace will make you sleep but at 1.75x you make a lot of concepts clear like all good professors.....
LOL
Excellent video! Thanks!
Best explanation I've found on covering planetary stuff. I stayed out for almost 2 years because i couldn't figure it out.
"Gene clinic" immediately starts thinking of the elders from XCOM
One of my all-time favorite games.
This was one of the most comprehensive tutorials i ever saw. So much attention to detail, it looks way better than 95% of the presentations/lectures that i saw in all my life. Great job !
This is by far the best video on the topic I have seen. Very logical, understandable and pedagogical.
Glad you liked it!
I was huge into this game on the console before the big update. After everything changed, I quickly became overwhelmed and stopped playing all together. I felt the pull to play again and decided to try these tutorials. The official one helped, but not in the way I needed. I saw this video and almost didn't give it a chance when I heard his voice. I'm used to big and energetic voices and his softer approach was jarring at first. But once he got rolling, I was glued. This video is very clear and extremely helpful. I am so excited to start playing again.
Very well done!!!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching Austin!
I started playing this game when it came out but have not put any significant time into it since they reworked the planet systems. Every patch felt like I was further and further behind on what I needed to know to be successful. Quarantine got me wanting to invest some time into it, and this video absolutely is the best guide for learning how to handle your shit. Thanks for making this, it is incredibly helpful.
You're welcome!
Thought I knew the game after 4 matches! Didn’t even know I could designate a planet for boosts 😂 thank you for the great video! +1 sub
Glad to help!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank You!!!
Excellent! Glad you like it!
Crystal clear, concise and comprehensive. I quit this game and uninstalled it back when they overhauled the planetary management system. I recently decided to give it another shot but I was still just flailing around desperately with the PM system. This tutorial cracked it wide open for me and now I know exactly what to do. You did a damn good job, dude. Now I think I'll be watching all your Stellaris tutorials, even for the things I thought I understood, just in case.
Thanks Prog!
I came in 5th in a multiplayer match but dropped off at the end with a bunch of guys I met. They asked about why I fell off so hard. Then asked if my districts were messed up. I said “you can edit the districts?” Never felt more stupid in my life at that moment. Figured it out after one more game but this helped clear things up, thanks man.
You bet. Enjoy the game. Totally fun.
This is an excellent presentation! I'm so glad I found your channel! I've told my Stellaris buddy about this, because he's just starting out in the game, too.
The best tutorial, or lecture, for a strategy game.
I. Love. This. Video! I am only 12 minutes in and you have taught me more than a couple of hours from other tutorials. I appreciate that you go deep into detail on why and what and how. After watching the first 10 minutes I have started to save my colonies and stop operating in the red and massively increase output. Thanks so much!
I played this game for 6 hours and led my people into stagnation. Frustrated, I turned to the RUclips and happened across this video. You turned my game around. Big thanks.
That is what I love to hear! Glad it helped!
I realize this video was made roughly 3 years ago but wanted to drop a comment anyway. Wow, just wow. This was extremely well done. I am a new player that just picked up the game and I'm playing on the console so there are noticeable differences but I was still able to pick up so much. Thank you for speaking in a calm and proper pace so that my brain was able to process the info as you gave it out. Some of the videos I've watched recently are being narrated as if they are being charged by the second. I hope you are still making videos for the newer versions of the game. I'll look for them but will make sure and watch all of the videos for this playlist. Thanks again.
You're welcome Max!
Clearest tutorial I've found! Please continue to produce more. Might I suggest Ship Design and Fleet Composition?
I have had suggestions on that, yes. Working on it :)
Thank you for the Tips and trick, after watching this video I am now can understand how to manage everything inside the Planet, Sectors, Governors, etc.
Another well made, no BS video!
Good work bro!
You're an amazing teacher!
Thank you Patrick! I appreciate your kind words. It means a lot to me that I can help new players!
Stellaris always scared me, because of it's complicated and overwhelming Mechanics. With your amazing tutorials I feel like i could play it as easy as an TD. And now thanks to you i'm starting to play the Game in mid 2021.
Best tutorials of any Game, ever. Thanks for your hard work.
Happy to help!
I only played gestalt-consciousnesses for quite some time and I had struggles getting back into the economy-thing. But this video was a great guide for helping out my economy. Thanks really much! 😊👍
Glad it helped!
You know what? I've watched alot of tutorials around this game just trying to get to grips with it all... this guy's are top notch, so clear and easily understandable.
Stellaris has a lot of systems within systems and is very overwhelming for a newbie but with these tutorials it is broken down nicely and I finally feel that i understand what is going on...thanks for this brilliant content...subbed👍
Thank you Jason. I'm glad you found the guides useful!
Superb tutorial! I was struggling to get a grasp on the mechanics of stellaris and your tutorials have helped me so much. Kudos to you!
Ps - Can you make a video regarding ship designing ? And how to react to each situation? When to make fleets, like to create fleets right from the beginning or from mid game. Something like that would really help.
Ship design is the next one I'm working on. Yep.
I knew I was doing something wrong by trying to generalize all my planets. Didn't even know about specializing. your tutorials are going to make me have a fresh start on a new game where I actually know what I'm doing. Thanks!
You're welcome!
good tutorial. and thanks :)
I was about to giving up on this game because it's so complicated, I couldn't find any good tutorial, but then I found your tutorial and you put back the flame in me, thanks a lot !
Excellent! That's what I like to hear!
Nice work! Helped me figure out this part of the game!
Awesome! Thanks for watching. Glad it helped!
One cool thing i learned about clearing blockers by trial and error. You can actually start clearing blockers during the colonization time and they will complete on parallel
You’re actual guide goals 👍🏽 thanks for the time stamps 😁
You’re welcome 😊
Excellent video, thank you for this one. Now I'm moving on to the trade video...
brooo I was going at this all wrong i tried making equal destruction and buildings of each amd i was always barly scraping by on good smh, then again I also played the first 4 hours without researching anything so I was hella behind i fell but God is this game fun
I hope this helps you out. Let me know!
Coming here after just getting stellaris, this is still one of the best tutorials I could find and I'm absolutely loving your way of teaching. Outstanding work, thank you!
Awesome, thank you!
building: exists
CFG: put it on every planet
;)
Great info! Love the overlay lines and text highlighting the important parts in the game. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I need this tutorial but for intermediate/advanced players. I know how the game works I'm just not very optimal at it.
Your videos have really helped me out getting started in stellaris. I usually play with a friend and I've been gradually getting closer to his level of skill. Super helpful
That makes me happy to hear!
Thanks a lot :) cant wait to see this
Let me know what you think. I hope you find it helpful!
Excellent tutorial.
We would have build a dyson sphere around the sun already, if the humen that are making all the learning material on our planet were as good as you.
You are very kind. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for explaining that complex mechanic that easyly.
You're welcome!
Your videos are great. I am brand new to Stellaris and it's pretty overwhelming. I got 2.5.1 not knowing much about the game in general and I've now come to realize this is a pretty new patch! Does anyone know of any other guides or online resources for 2.5.1?
I know of none. I don't generally watch other people's guides very much.
This is super usefull, thanks! Most people just play a game and explain along the way, but I don't want to watch 6 hours of gameplay to find the information I was looking for.
Glad you like it Ernthir!
F amazing!
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
@@ColorsFadeGaming Do you have in plan to go in details about:
-empire cohesion
-empire sprawl
-sectors etc.
Thank you once again.
@@InvalidShortcut Not really. My next plan was to do a simple Let's Play Tutorial series, like I did for Galactic Civilizations 3, and just try, as best as possible, to explain every move I make while I play, and hope players can glean what they desire from it.
I have considered doing only one other stand-alone tutorial, and that's for war/victory, but I'm only going to do that if I see a real demand for it.
@@ColorsFadeGaming Brilliant. It will be glorious :)
All game tutorial videos should be this focused and straight to the point! Thank you for not wasting our time with puffery and unnecessary game play.
You're welcome!
I have watched about 3 hours worth of material on how to play this game and I still have no idea what I am doing
It takes time. You can watch a load of videos, but there's no substitute for playing.
I never watched a single video; just played it and learned. Give it time. It's fun once you get the hang of it :)
You are not alone! After a week, I am part way through my first game... Which I am now abandoning. Needless to say, with virtually zero understanding what the hell was going on! I didn't even know how to merge ships! My economy went BOOM in no time at all and I was chasing my own tail trying to manage the chaos. Anyway - after ~10 hours of fiddling and 5 hours of watching videos, I am starting to believe that I might figure this game out at some point!
I used to play Stars! and I'm hoping this game may be a substitute for that game.
With my paltry 196 hours of stellaris from when you could only colonize systems with influence(!), I feel like this is the video I have been waiting for to help me get back into the game. I will favorite it as a reference guide for sure. Thank you for the clean, easy and informative presentation! Cheers!! :D
You're welcome!
