AI Question

[Sector001]

Do I need to increase AI difficulty so it’s less unresponsive? I haven’t played this game since Apoc was released but I don’t remember the AI empires being this unresponsive or just sitting idle for some reason.

Difficulty will help, but not much. Difficulty will give AI more free stuff, so it can do "something extra" with it. But it doesn't cancel the fact that AI is unable to make anything on his own (without free stuff). ATM AI is just in very bad state.

The AI has some major issues right now, but pdx is working on it. In the meantime it's OK-ish if you use Glavius' AI mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1584133829

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.

if people always endorse a third party mod then PDX will never fix the game. why bother when players will do it for you?

Bethesda blew it not when they made Fallout 76, they did it when they made game unmoddable.

The 2.2.1 beta fixes some of the most glaring bugs, though the AI still isn't great. It's back to being passable by Paradox's low standards.

Glavius AI is actually good, but it's not fair to compare the two. Glavius is a whole one person with access to modding tools and workarounds, with all his spare time to work on it. Paradox only have a few dozen full time employees with access to the source code.

maybe PDX should hire Glavius to consult them on AI optimization a little bit

Worded to perfection.

Increasing Difficulty will not alter AI's behaviour, but rather grant it significant bonuses (cheats) (extra resources, Naval Capacity, etc).
Glavius' Ultimate AI however changes AI behaviour, NOT adding any bonuses, making the AI challenging on Ensign (that was definitely the case in 2.0+, 2.2+ is shaping up).
