The Obligatory Stellaris Strange Screenshot Thread

[Jorrhast]

Prethoryns were fixed, they now make RW segments completely unrepairable.
Anyway, remember those guys?

After arrival to my empire they have psi ascended and became this

You know that event chain with alien virus on some random planet? Turns out it is so contagious it can affect both organics and synths.

Not so strange, just mind-boggling why we still don't have message filter while this is such a common situation for rampaging warmongers.

Sometimes you just have to facepalm.

208 years into the game and the Prethoryn have begun devouring the galaxy. The Spiritualist faction just now spawned. I guess the master plan is... umm... The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Ruckus Bot?

Maybe it's just a prototype, and what they're really developing is the Stinkmeaner Bot...

The strange thing is that I have spent 1,660 hours playing the game (mostly ironman, but about 300 hours split between the Star Trek and Star Wars mods), and this is the 2nd time I've seen the Prethoryn. First time was way back in patch 1.2. I've seen the old AI rebellion more times than the Prethoryn

Why do all the weird replays have to be, like, exceptionally weird?!

I landed on the planet in a last ditch attempt to prevent them from taking yet another allied colony, but I didn't quite make it in time. Sort of. But now what? My armies are apparently there, since they took the planet and all... But I no longer have access to them. I wonder what will happen when I finish bombing it.

I guess, keep holding that line troops! You got this!

Vassals, vassals everywhere

What is this sorcery?

And yes, green ones are friendly to it. The only explanation I have is

They have accepted the Contingency as the heralds of a new age

What mods did you use for this picture? Also, did you create all those one-planet vassals? There are a lot of them it seems .

 

[Jorrhast]

I use many mods. The ones that could've changed the UI/galaxy view are

• 2d galaxy
• enhanced galaxy - dark core
• speed dial
• subdued borders
• tiny *(many mods for tinifying different interface parts)
  
• ui overhaul 1080p

And yes I did. Started as OPE for about 1.5 centuries, then killed off AFE and decided to keep their main 2 planets, then released all tributaries and went full "one-planet vassal" mode. That fleet capacity? It doesn't depend on mods at all, you can get it in vanilla too. Just a crapload of vassals with GFP, and Domination ascension.

Gangsta Syndicate? Some sort of mafia?

Can you go to the armies via the outliner ?

Gangsta Syndicate? Some sort of mafia?

Is there any other way of playing as OPE except having many tributaries(=mafia)?

 

[VoidEmperor]

for an upstart pathetic protectorate thats the subject of an empire i have federation association status with that is a hillariously bold move.

 

[Shachza]

Can you go to the armies via the outliner ?

Nope.

The armies are in the outliner, and the general is still in my leaders pool, leading one of the armies, but all interaction with those armies doesn't work. Can't get to the armies tab of the planet they're on, so I can't interact with them.

Is this an event by a mod cause I don't remember seeing this in Stellaris? I only played around 100h though so I could've obviously missed it.

nope, not from a mod, this ones part of the base game But its very rare afaik and the empire sending the assassin is picked at random, could even be an empire with +100 opinion of you. on that note the save from the screenshot i posted was completely without mods

This is very funny, I just started a new run and guess which event I got. What are the odds .

 

[Jorrhast]

It can even be your own federation member with 300+ opinion. I guess pdx just forgot about coding opinion check in there.

Can I just mention how fitting that name is

What's it look like if you load all those babies up with Swarmer Missiles and send them into battle?
