Slave can't rebe...

[oak]

Don't worry lads slave uprising dlc incoming

 

[Exemplar Voss]

But really, what stops me now from sending the traitors who have left the true cause to the gulags?

Nothing. But the better thing to do is simple: enslave the objector.

 

[Christopholes]

It is utterly immersion breaking, and several of the works cited as inspiration for Stellaris feature slave revolts as parts of their story. I for one am going to make a mod for it/use a mod if someone makes one first.

 

[Christopholes]

Also to go on, DDRJake utterly eradicated separatist rebels from a newly conquered empire simply by enslaving them. The revolt quickly fizzled.

 

[Wizzington]

Where did you get that from? After reading those two tweets, it looks like they actually removed them permanently because they don't believe slave revolts are needed. Or are you making a joke that's going right over my head?

We will almost certainly add them in the not distant future. They just were not prioritized for release because we chose to prioritize other things.

 

[BestOfTheWest]

Should (in the realistic, not a moral sense) slaves in the ages of FTL-speed tech be able to rebel at all?

The problem of rebellious slaves was already solved in the Fallout 3. Slave collar, anyone?

Thank you

But in the Quill18 stream today you said it was an exploit to have slaves right now. I'm a little confused right now.

If you're going to add them in I hope that you make it so that some empires don't have the revolts since maybe they are built around slaves. If I make a empire that is all about slaves and super tolerant of them I don't see why they would revolt as it's just expected and totally normal.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek, its a bit sploity but it's not all that bad. Exploits are also rarely top priority.

In my opinion, alien slaves should always be prone to revolts (in big numbers of course).

How positively barbaric. Those who walk and sail among the stars are too civilized to use slave collars.

Or neural bombs, or super advanced soldiers as guardians, or systematic termination for potentially dangerous individuals, and there's still so much more possibilities.

At which point does it become easier to just not have slaves than to have expensive equipment to keep them in chains though ?

Also, can slaves still join other factions ? Because if they can't, it would be an easy exploit to just enslave every dissenter and assure you eternal stability.

 

[xsubtownerx]

@Wiz Ok. I can deal with little "spoilty". Later on in the Quill stream we saw that supper happy POPs (joyous?) actually produce more than slaves. I'm still worried that the Decadent trait will be abused however. Too easy to get a Slave right off the bat with no real worries.

In DDRJake's slaver stream he got rid of an independence faction by enslaving them so yeah.

You just had to say it. Now it becomes super 'sploity.

 

[[Q]uik]

Wow, well.. that sucks really hard

Let them work so much that they can not think about freedom or something like that.

Fortunately we have something called self control (except Arumba) so simply don't do it. Not hard at all.
