Stellaris "Lem" Update Discord Q&A

[MrFreake_PDX]

Have a question about the Lem Update, named for Sci-Fi author Stanisław Lem, or a question you've always wanted to ask a Stellaris Dev?

On Thursday, September 9th, join us on the Stellaris Discord for the Lem Update Q&A!

Join here: http://discord.gg/stellarisofficial

This should probably be stickied until the day of the Q&A, so more people can find out.

I will likely be unable to attend the Q&A. I had a whole series of bug reports on the AI and economic behavior being broken on default settings in 3.0.x. They are among the most popular/upvoted bug reports on the forum for 3.0.x (actually, for all time!).

Here is one example of somewhere around a dozen posts:

Stellaris - [3.0.2] [91c1] AI doing bad economic things (5/many)

Description [3.0.2] [91c1] AI doing bad economic things (5/many) Game Version 3.0.2. really you want this twice? What version do you use? Steam What expansions do you have installed? Do you have mods enabled? No Please explain your issue...

I will likely be unable to attend the Q&A but I would like to know what was done to improve the economic AI so that AI empires are competitive at default settings through the course of an entire game. Or, at the very least, not obviously broken in the ways that I documented in all those bug reports. Were the issues in my reports fixed?

If I were able to attend the Q&A, I would also like to ask about what actions were taken in response to the AI feedback threads for 3.0.x. For example this feedback thread has exactly one dev response, asking for a save file:

Stellaris 3.0.3 AI Feedback Megathread

Hello Community! Please be sure to read this post in its entirety before responding to this feedback thread. Posts that do not follow the rules will be removed. As you know, we’re always looking for ways to improve the Stellaris AI, as such...

forum.paradoxplaza.com

but it has nearly 100 posts discussing specific problems in great detail. What action was taken on that for Lem?

I also am incredibly curious about the ai, but will be unable to attend the q&a. All info i have seen so far was a paradox staff comment under the last dev diary stating that the ai improvement is "bearing fruits".

Yes read about all the latest news

Do we have any write up with the QA results?
Maybe the community manager could add the brief version?

They did a good job with that for the last Q&A, so I would expect the same.

Yeah, it's been formatted, just being reviewed. Expect it next week sometime
