The Nicoplia Show how about I send a somewhat experimental robotic AI companion? It not only serves as a flashlight, but a close friend, an alarm clock, a calendar, and my favorite and the feature I use the most, it can help find things you lose in your home, which I do a lot
For colonizing, i would also look for the tiles that give food and minerals- the later ugprades for the main building in the colonies produces both and benefits from them, when you build, for example, a mining facility on that spot, you will loose the food and vice versa. With the planetary main building that is not the case
redskull44 or build an orbital hydroponics farm, but the spaceport slot could be used for better things like assembly yards but a spaceport can have up to 6 slots and there isn't much to build on them
I remember thinking that the call to battle stations was just another training drill, or a prank. But then I saw the pirates on my turret's scanner. I didn't hesitate to open up on the scum. We at the Venture science station gave it are all.
10 years is the minimum for a trade deal, so giving them one monthly energy credit is the same as giving them 120 energy credits as an instant transfer, with the diffrence that the monthly one is bad for your economy.
Captain James Pearson reporting for duty. I have recently graduated the imperial high command course at the empires most prestigious academies. I would be honored to serve as captain to any ship and am also trained in the duties of grand admirals and grand moths. Hail the great and glorious emperor shack. We shall expand and purge the galaxy of our enemies. Hail empower shack!
Wow the excitement is mounting! Don't forget you have defense platforms coming up soon. There is a trick I found for defense platforms which is really useful. You can place a defense platform in close proximity to your colony spaceports. That creates a powerful defensive barrier.
Very IMPORTANT tip: When colonizing; Always place on a tile that has minerals and food. If none have both, either or will do...You get no benefit from energy at any point of upgrade on THAT tile. The benefits u get later only effect minerals, food and energy that are next to the capital structure. It will never boost research tiles. So look for the best spot to get most benefits from later upgrades; mineral and food on specific tile, and mineral, food, energy on tile in a plus, ( + ), fashion around landing site.
17:36 The mod Improved Space Battles [Balance] changes a lot of things. One of these is that the core-system-cap is increased from 5 to 10 (This was done in the update "Update: 25 Jun @ 9:23am"). It probably also tweaks the research system.
Lol I love these news network broadcasts you do at the beginning of each episode. Your playthrough is pretty good regardless though, so congrats on doing such an excellent job.
i find it hard to believe that they had a problem with that colony since it was with in your own borders to begin with, i also say change policy to give you breathing room.
Rival the predators. It'll give a pretty big chunk of opinion with the bugs who will also be FAR more likely to enter a NA or Defensive Pact with you, which will allow you to build trust. Your ideologies are somewhat comparable, so it won't be hard to make friends. They also won't want to jump on you because the bugs will jump on them if they leave their territories undefended.
j have to say it. what your doing leting us have some kind of power with you is awsome! The story as will is well done too! I cant wait till more videos are coming.
In case you were unaware as to how research rewards work (such as the 90/90 you got from the event chain), it is placed in a pool for that science type, and your research gain is doubled until that pool is used up (ie: your making 6 physics a month so each month you will gain 12 physics towards research completion, with 6 from your natural science gain and 6 taken from the reward pool, giving you 15 months of increased gain)
Owen Thomas A civ that just encountered them wouldn't know they're a clan of predators or their symbol either Or that they dislike you But a civ that knows everything shack does would know their name, given they would probably introduce themselves as such
Having this start fits quite well. Facing a hostile galaxy the Empire is forced to become highly militaristic. Almost like The Imperium Of Man in Warhammer 40K.
love these series, keep up the good work!! :D you should do a huge scale Star wars Interregnum series with multiple enemies and 3-4 stars with many planets each. just a suggestion don't have to, once again keep up the good work we all love you captain!
You said Anthropoid but you meant Arthropoid. Anthro means human such as in the study of humans called anthropology. Arthropods are things like insects and spiders
The weapons available do the job; hold off on the physics edict until defence stations are completed. Better to have a secured frontier, shortly to be reinforced, than the threat of bigger guns but little to prevent incursion.
emperor shak The empire has a duty to protect and strengthen itself to protect our citizens from the threats of space, our great empire will not be intimidated by xenos, currently our resources are limited that is our reality, but as emperor you will see that these races of Xenos can quite useful as a labor force once conquered. They would be under strict and meticulous control to assure their complete "coperation" in the growth of the empire. I thank you for allowing me to speak today. Glory for the galactic empire, long live the emperor shak
honestly, I feel like that demand from the predator clan to destroy the colony would have been a perfect ending place. let the imperial senate discuss what to do and all ;) either way, great work here, have a sub.
"Can't wait to get a view of those distant systems sir. And whatever new goodies we can get the Empire too." -Gwendolen Alphonse, captain of the Howlrunner Science vessel?
If the homeworld is being wrecked by natural disasters, consider abandoning it (via purge) so as to stop bordering the Predator Clan... after colonizing a new homeworld that doesn't border the Clan. You have the RP reasons to do so. Just something to consider.
This is doctor Jhonmary Len, of the imperial association for scientific research. I act as its representative in the senate. The imperial senate is now in session, please declare your generalities, including the party you represent. The agenda items are the following: The situation regarding the neighboring empires. The policy regarding ship construction and colony defense. The handling of piracy and space born creatures. The purge policy. IASR suggests to pool the resources to start building spaceports on the outer colonies, their firing batteries will make excellent defenses. While also make preparations to claim the tropical world in Hoshir. Also we need to form a temporary defensive pact with the Themlar hegemony and then try to neutralize the predator republic, possibly annexing some of their territories, being militarists they could be useful to our cause, even though their background could be a problem. My stand regarding the purge policy remains, we could have more success enthralling them, either by annexing them or safely force them to become our tributaries. Glory to the Empire and the mighty Emperor.
Senator Servious I agree with you, the hegemony will make a good temporary ally. After annexing the clans they'll surely see us as a threat but by then we'll have enough military power to defeat them and annex them too. I agree with you regarding the colonization of more worlds, more colonies will speed up our growth exponentially. We'll need to built spaceports quickly though, so that the citizens will be safe and our naval capacity will raise. I agree on the treatment of the pirates. All the ones guilty of crimes starting from and including rape and up to and including murder should be executed right after trial while they others will pay their debt to society in the factories. Regarding the creatures. IASR can observe them in their environment, we can even drive them in empty star systems so that they won't be an obstacle for mining and research purposes. Capturing them would be too dangerous. And besides IASR doesn't test on living subjects.
Senator Servious Oh I see you should have specified then. In case they become a danger we should indeed kill them, and their remains will be useful for studying indeed. IASR has already been making interesting conjectures with what we know so far, the possible applications of their biology are quite fascinating.
Hereward Lockhart of the United Evolution party. I agree that we have to side with the Thelmar for the safety of the empire from the predator clans; The pirate menace should be deal with swiftly and permanently so slaves or enemies can't run off and join their league.
Senator Abe Ron of the Imperial Martial Progression Alliance, as it stands we are in a weak position with two hostile alien nations north of us. It is in our best interest that we start expansion that of our own, focus on conscription, and double the production of our ships. I also suggest issuing search and destroy missions of pirate fleets with the use of the Armed Wing of the Imperial Senate (AWIS). I shall also address that this is the proposed name for the Senate's private army. It is subject to change.
Imperial Intelligence has found that the strange numbers the Themlar Hegemony uses for its acceptance rating of trade deals is equivalent to the amount of change in our standing. If they have a 4 on the trade deal, your standing increases by 4. Trade is good for small changes in relationships
I loved that part in the into where it said at the bottom that a person demanded a system be called the clip-cilp system and was sent into psychiatric care... WAIT what if a system IS named that and a mining station is built in orbit and a team of miners is sent onto the surface of it and later in the series it is found out that there is a small team of "pirates" on the surface of a another planet in the system and a strange suit is stolen from ign's arsenal...
Physics research grant: yes Purge Palicy: not worth changing build another construction ship and use them to build defense platforms around your colonies. also build a space port on new colonies first thing.
Shack, looking at the map I have to say that based on my own lets play of Stellaris you have to expand south west and try not to piss off your neighbors... too much at least.
Shack look at your lead scientists because sometimes it can be beneficial to switch them from one position to another if a scientist has a bonus for a specific research and some scientist have bonus that will apply to all research
When it comes to the purge policy switch it for now and after the bug people like you and you've gotten what you need out of them switch it back and purge those bitches like it's klendathu
If disallowing slave procreation causes slave pops to dwindle over time, you could get the same eventual effect without the policy hit. That assumes that slavery don't become a hot-button issue itself later with other factions, of course.
In future scouting expeditions i'd send a colony ship with a construction ship so if you come across a planet you can colonize then you can capture it faster
shack I'm playing in a situation like you. what I did was I built defense platforms in each of my system's since you only have a few it should work better than after that I focused on getting the next tier of weapons on them. after that you need to get your resources up you need to get a mining and defense station in that system with the mass amounts of minerals so they don't just walk in and take it. once everything's locked down you should br set for awhile then you can focus on your fleet
A couple things to know when founding a new colony, is the adjacency bonus' only apply to minerals, food and energy, not research. Also, another thing to consider is the capital is the only building that can draw from 2 resource tiles, in this case its food and minerals, though the minerals are buried till the next upgrade, so placing your colony on top of energy is losing that energy tile, while you had a mineral and a food tile with 2 adjacent energy tiles that could have benefited.
Also, the increased amount of colonies and larger fleet are both a result of the one mod you are running, the one that is required for the SSD's from the imperial ships mod. Otherwise you would just have 5 colonies and a naval cap of about 16-18 about now.
upgrade your mine on your home world, then build a frontier outpost in the system with 9 minerals, if your lucky the boarders will also have the polaris system next to it, the mine the hell out of them.
+TheXPGamers In a time when the Empire needs him most Darth Babies goes to the Crossroads Nebula in search of great power spoken of only in legends... and comes back the galaxy's greatest blues guitarist.
Shack, while new weapons are very useful, if u pick engineering u will b able to build defense stations in your territory and on tour borders. also i'd change the purge policy just to get the Hegemony on your side against the Predators until u have the tech and fleets to stand up to them alone
You should check out the post on Reddit that's called Stellaris Fleet Guide - Build the Best Navy or something like that, it's really helpful, especially since you're kind of new to Stellaris
you should also set planets (and their space ports) to specalize in a certain thing; like one with lots of bonus research points, get it anything to boost research skill, a science ship to boost etc. planets with poor minerals should focus on energy and vise versa for planets with low or non existing energy boosts. shipyards should focus on a single type of ship or in the case of lower end yards, a pair of ship types like corv/dd's, while traversal times may become an issue, it does free up slots on your base for things like observatories on science rich worlds, or hydroponics on food poor worlds etc
Since the Predators already loath you, embrace that and use it to your advantage, declare them as rivals and you'll get a nice boost with the hegemony for shared rivals That and a purge policy change should give you decent positive relations
Yes to Edicts. You have a bonus for edicts due to your empire and haven't used one yet. I allways have one of the empire wide edicts running, usually society, and switch between them as required. Net gain is + 10%. Yes to Purge policy change. Themlar is at minus 10% because of it, BUT, Predator is at minus 20% because of it. Win + Win! Allways use your planetary tiles for the bonus they give! Stupidly built a mine on a food tile when you had vacant tiles to use if you wanted another mine. I face palmed at that, my god.
For those of you who didn't notice, Wolfram42 said we should name something the clip clip system, and was detained for it, as seen in the crawls in this news broadcast
Hmm, I would suggest disallowing Purges for now, but reinstating them when necessary for the development of possitive diplomatic relations with our only possible allies. As for the research, I say start the physics grants. It makes logical sense to do so.
Good afternoon, sir. It's a damn shame to hear about the loss of our fine corvettes- but between you and me, I'm glad I wasn't on them. We certainly seem to be in some dire straits here; as much as we'd like to go it alone, we should try to get on the good side of the bugs. Disabling purge would do the trick, hopefully. Now, as a lowly Commander, I can't say how the research grants will affect the long term, but for now, we need those new weapons. I'd go for it. Thanks for seeing me, my lord. I await your command, and mine as well.
Shack, all your pausing is slowing you down. This is why you keep getting "surprised" that you have no minerals. You spend 5 minutes paused and then run at single speed so you've had less than a month pass for 10 minutes of footage. You either need to run at a higher sim speed or stop pausing so much. It's hurting the pacing of the series too.
Just to be a little more specific on this - you have ~45 minutes of in game footage this episode and during that time, you only advanced 50 months. As each "tick" (second) is a day, you had ~25 minutes of actual game time advancement and 20 minutes of paused footage. That's way too high. I think you'd be able to get more done if you spend around 25% of your footage paused instead of nearly 50%.
In one of my playthroughs of stellaris, I focused on gathering resources. Eventually I had about 200 minerals and 150 power coming in monthly so I ended up switching between expansion and building my fleets. Then the unbidden caught me off guard and completely obliterated me and the galaxy..
For all that ask and didn't know yet, the ISB Mods increase the Capacity for "Core Worlds" I use it atm and it seems to be that, as I don't have any ethics or anything similar that improve this capacity.
I watched this 4 the second time in 6 months and when I saw the systems that had I recognized from the first time I'm like "A huge battle took place there! Oh That's the system where they hack the XPGIN facility." That sort of thing.
17 episodes later, the Predator Clan is nothing but a vassal for another Empire that we're going to conquer next time. Karma is a bitch you cowardly hunters.
Last time I was this early the Empire just blew up Alderaan.
too soon
also hasn't happen yet in this timeline
That's how early I am!
That was what she said...

It sounds like the black sector is being discriminated against.
Evolq1 what? NO! It uses a tiny probe chassis that's like 4 inches at most(I never actually measured these things to be honest)
Shack the bug people hate your Purge policy because of what happened to Geonosis.
I3oo1Ve nice meme
For colonizing, i would also look for the tiles that give food and minerals- the later ugprades for the main building in the colonies produces both and benefits from them, when you build, for example, a mining facility on that spot, you will loose the food and vice versa. With the planetary main building that is not the case
Yes! And build farms on the food tiles, at least one or two, for the first colonists so the growth rate is much higher.
redskull44 or build an orbital hydroponics farm, but the spaceport slot could be used for better things like assembly yards but a spaceport can have up to 6 slots and there isn't much to build on them
I always go mass growth for the planet so I can expand more rapidly, but yes, lots of SP options. :)
I remember thinking that the call to battle stations was just another training drill, or a prank. But then I saw the pirates on my turret's scanner. I didn't hesitate to open up on the scum. We at the Venture science station gave it are all.
If I'm not mistaken, didn't you make contact with the Themlars before you made contact with the Predators?
Raj Kapadia he did
+captain Rex lol he said in the intro that he met the predators before the Themlars
Raj Kapadia Conspiracies to discredit the Emperor's voice and will! Execute this man!
The members of the military have the right to criticize the Emperor in private, so long as such criticisms are not made public.
Technically, this qualifies as being "in public"
10 years is the minimum for a trade deal, so giving them one monthly energy credit is the same as giving them 120 energy credits as an instant transfer, with the diffrence that the monthly one is bad for your economy.
Stored energy credits are almost useless, while you have to keep your monthly energy credits positive.
You are my new favorite channel. I love how you make up this lore for your campaign. Keep it up

Hail ENPOWER shack
Wow the excitement is mounting! Don't forget you have defense platforms coming up soon.
There is a trick I found for defense platforms which is really useful.
You can place a defense platform in close proximity to your colony spaceports. That creates a powerful defensive barrier.
i love the beginning of your videos the news report and such really nailed it good video as always captain
I just love the effort you put into the production of your videos; It makes up for the slow release time. Keep up the excellent work!
"That we built last time on dragon ball z"now watching this back I realized he said it
Very IMPORTANT tip:
When colonizing; Always place on a tile that has minerals and food. If none have both, either or will do...You get no benefit from energy at any point of upgrade on THAT tile.

Hello Shack great work keep it up. Have a nice day and FOR THE EMPIRE (i know but come on bit of 40k has to be in here)
i find it hard to believe that they had a problem with that colony since it was with in your own borders to begin with, i also say change policy to give you breathing room.
The intro is really amazing!
Nebula are where you can find Zro Dust which makes your ships faster and see further, it's super helpful!
Rival the predators. It'll give a pretty big chunk of opinion with the bugs who will also be FAR more likely to enter a NA or Defensive Pact with you, which will allow you to build trust. Your ideologies are somewhat comparable, so it won't be hard to make friends.
They also won't want to jump on you because the bugs will jump on them if they leave their territories undefended.

Lol... that last admiral at 24:34 gives you the same effects as tarkin in eaw classic :P
watch the bottom scroll line at 3:19 and comment down below what you saw :) (watch till the the next space)
Emperors landing is a good choice because it keeps your empire consolidated and easier to manage while still having three systems

Shack Im disappointed in you
"The Predator Clan" are called the Yautja, or the Hish (short for His Qu Ten)
tsk tsk
but a civ that just encountered them would not know that.
Owen Thomas A civ that just encountered them wouldn't know they're a clan of predators or their symbol either
Or that they dislike you

Good ideas sir, good ideas indeed.
The ideal ration to destroy the pirate's main hideout should be this 1:3 or 4 attack points.
that colony ship is actually a transport ship in star wars, and the crates are placed on the exterior on the rear of the ship.
Imperial Intelligence has found that the strange numbers the Themlar Hegemony uses for its acceptance rating of trade deals is equivalent to the amount of change in our standing. If they have a 4 on the trade deal, your standing increases by 4. Trade is good for small changes in relationships

Emperor Shack, I request the privilege of commanding an imperial science vessel. Thank you and glory to the empire.

build another construction ship and use them to build defense platforms around your colonies. also build a space port on new colonies first thing.
Shack, looking at the map I have to say that based on my own lets play of Stellaris you have to expand south west and try not to piss off your neighbors... too much at least.
SHACK YOU NEED TO PLAY AGAINST HESTER IN STELLARIS!
Hey listen, when we saw the Jehet and their weoponized ships back in the System Alliance days, we went full ham on them. R.I.P. wolf strike group
Shack look at your lead scientists because sometimes it can be beneficial to switch them from one position to another if a scientist has a bonus for a specific research and some scientist have bonus that will apply to all research
When it comes to the purge policy switch it for now and after the bug people like you and you've gotten what you need out of them switch it back and purge those bitches like it's klendathu
Planet P my friend. Klendathu was a Massacre.
Commissar Darman We can I'll afford another Klendathu.
If disallowing slave procreation causes slave pops to dwindle over time, you could get the same eventual effect without the policy hit. That assumes that slavery don't become a hot-button issue itself later with other factions, of course.
so how many heroes can we submit? I really want to get a whole family line going.
Pirate base is probably in Efrov, you may want to take it out otherwise they'll keep coming, getting stronger and stronger.
This is getting bad, really quickly.
I vote for physics research grants. Anything to defend the empire!
In future scouting expeditions i'd send a colony ship with a construction ship so if you come across a planet you can colonize then you can capture it faster
Shack, as it stands. the Predator clan is only Unfriendly towards us. Not hostile. until they become hostile I highly doubt they will attack.
shack I'm playing in a situation like you. what I did was I built defense platforms in each of my system's since you only have a few it should work better than after that I focused on getting the next tier of weapons on them. after that you need to get your resources up you need to get a mining and defense station in that system with the mass amounts of minerals so they don't just walk in and take it. once everything's locked down you should br set for awhile then you can focus on your fleet

Shack, while new weapons are very useful, if u pick engineering u will b able to build defense stations in your territory and on tour borders. also i'd change the purge policy just to get the Hegemony on your side against the Predators until u have the tech and fleets to stand up to them alone
You should check out the post on Reddit that's called Stellaris Fleet Guide - Build the Best Navy or something like that, it's really helpful, especially since you're kind of new to Stellaris
Physics Grants: Yes, Purge Policy: Allowed.
Those who threat your land will feel our rage on their land ten fold
you should also set planets (and their space ports) to specalize in a certain thing; like one with lots of bonus research points, get it anything to boost research skill, a science ship to boost etc.
planets with poor minerals should focus on energy and vise versa for planets with low or non existing energy boosts.
shipyards should focus on a single type of ship or in the case of lower end yards, a pair of ship types like corv/dd's, while traversal times may become an issue, it does free up slots on your base for things like observatories on science rich worlds, or hydroponics on food poor worlds etc
Shack, when you will have better tech don't forget to upgrade your Civilian ships too.
Survey outward from your starting location so you know what resources and planets are immediately within reach.
The colony ship is the Imperial transport ship from Rebels
the Empire kicking your ass for the greater good
I think I'll start up a shop for the predators! They'll be buying better masks to make them look friendlier...
I'd imagine the colony ship makes use of shuttles to move people between the ship and planets
Since the Predators already loath you, embrace that and use it to your advantage,
declare them as rivals and you'll get a nice boost with the hegemony for shared rivals
That and a purge policy change should give you decent positive relations
Yes to Edicts. You have a bonus for edicts due to your empire and haven't used one yet. I allways have one of the empire wide edicts running, usually society, and switch between them as required. Net gain is + 10%.
Yes to Purge policy change. Themlar is at minus 10% because of it, BUT, Predator is at minus 20% because of it. Win + Win!
Allways use your planetary tiles for the bonus they give! Stupidly built a mine on a food tile when you had vacant tiles to use if you wanted another mine. I face palmed at that, my god.
Predators species is called "Yautja".
When the predator clan was the "Biggest threat" now we have the crusaders with a 300k fleet....
For those of you who didn't notice, Wolfram42 said we should name something the clip clip system, and was detained for it, as seen in the crawls in this news broadcast
Hmm, I would suggest disallowing Purges for now, but reinstating them when necessary for the development of possitive diplomatic relations with our only possible allies. As for the research, I say start the physics grants. It makes logical sense to do so.
Is this the Galaxtic News? 0:20
If you're doing grand admirals, you have to name one Thrawn. And make him a warlord
Good afternoon, sir. It's a damn shame to hear about the loss of our fine corvettes- but between you and me, I'm glad I wasn't on them. We certainly seem to be in some dire straits here; as much as we'd like to go it alone, we should try to get on the good side of the bugs. Disabling purge would do the trick, hopefully. Now, as a lowly Commander, I can't say how the research grants will affect the long term, but for now, we need those new weapons. I'd go for it.
Thanks for seeing me, my lord. I await your command, and mine as well.
Shack, all your pausing is slowing you down. This is why you keep getting "surprised" that you have no minerals. You spend 5 minutes paused and then run at single speed so you've had less than a month pass for 10 minutes of footage. You either need to run at a higher sim speed or stop pausing so much. It's hurting the pacing of the series too.
Just to be a little more specific on this - you have ~45 minutes of in game footage this episode and during that time, you only advanced 50 months. As each "tick" (second) is a day, you had ~25 minutes of actual game time advancement and 20 minutes of paused footage. That's way too high. I think you'd be able to get more done if you spend around 25% of your footage paused instead of nearly 50%.
In one of my playthroughs of stellaris, I focused on gathering resources. Eventually I had about 200 minerals and 150 power coming in monthly so I ended up switching between expansion and building my fleets.
Then the unbidden caught me off guard and completely obliterated me and the galaxy..
Purge: Xenos only
Grants: physics
For all that ask and didn't know yet, the ISB Mods increase the Capacity for "Core Worlds" I use it atm and it seems to be that, as I don't have any ethics or anything similar that improve this capacity.
omg this is so late but thank you!! i was going back checking comments to find how he had 10 core worlds. ty again
I watched this 4 the second time in 6 months and when I saw the systems that had I recognized from the first time I'm like "A huge battle took place there! Oh That's the system where they hack the XPGIN facility." That sort of thing.
Hey Shack, the correct term for what the Nuurian are is Hydra. It comes from from Greek mythology. Hercules had to kill one as on of his 12 tasks.
It seems obvious to me that if changing our purge policy will help ensure the furthering of our existence, we should change it immediately.
the colony ship is actually a cargo ship in star wars rebels.
For a new area possibly "The Veil Four" System.
You should create a legacy fleet out of the Grand ship variants as legacy of your leaders over the years
17 episodes later, the Predator Clan is nothing but a vassal for another Empire that we're going to conquer next time. Karma is a bitch you cowardly hunters.
captain shack you'll need bigger guns for those predators
I vote yes to both of your proposals (change purge and physics research)
Predator delenda est! (though you might want to wait till you have caught up to them tech/military-wise :P )
That start is why I turn off Clustered Starts and Advanced Empires. It annoys me so much having people sitting on your doorstep like that.
Been waiting for this all week lol
Set the Predators Clan thing to be a rival.
That will make the other nation like you more and will give you several other benefits
