The Obligatory Stellaris Strange Screenshot Thread

[HFY]

The incredible ingeniosity of people of this times was to use with such efficency the limited ( by today's standards) resources and theoric knowledge they had. No need for aliens or modern tech to build pyramids or nazca lines, just very efficient peoples.

I mean yeah IRL -- but here in Stellaris: First Contact it was aliens.

It was totally aliens.

This pose the existential question of who tech this to the first aliens to exist?

Was it aliens?

I've never seen Message in a Bottle not spawn on a star, though

I mostly see it spawn on barren planets.

Well...Where it that new cloaking tech if i need it...

At least protection until midgame

Any chance you still have the save game for this at 01-01-2200? It would make a perfect start for a low-tech civic empire.

I found an interesting... synergy with the low-tech civics and Imperial Fiefdom origin:

I don't have Corvette tech yet, but as I chose Bulwark specialization, I instantly got Destroyer tech. It's most definitely intended, I just thought it was funny..

 

[Dragatus]

Neat. I probably wouldn't even research corvettes in that case unless I wanted a research option re-roll.

Sorry but no i played it until the patch came out. And because of the high chance for broken safe games at patch start i abandon all existing ones to start new games and delete the old safes. And it was iron man anyway don't know if that would has helped you here.

Started as a Slingshot/Stargazer Terravore (sweet 95% Influence reduction for distance modifier on outposts), my next door neighbour (Shattered Ring) is hemmed into 3 systems, one of them being my Catapult, which is also the only system i can hop to ... I suppose I'm not trapped with them, but they're trapped with me.

Completely regular Large galaxy settings

I'm proud of my space miners, they are brave and cunning enough to maintain mineral production and stay safe in this situation.

... but these purifier guys aren't so clever to keep distance.

Ah well, no worries.

I had to learn how to edit stellaris save files since I wanted to increase the tech/trad cost to x2 in a pre-3.7 game, so converting an iron man save into a normal one is quite doable.

I don't know how rare this is, but it's the first time I've seen it in my 1200 hours in this game. Mining drones base popped up in Tiyanki's Home World. The chill space whales have no problem with that of course, but then a space amoeba also wandered in and a fight ensues between the amoebas and the drones. That's the first time I've seen three of the five space aliens in the same system. I'd be cool if anyone ever seen all 5 in the same place lol

I though I got lucky from getting two events to give me two free planets, not so much. I give you, a planet in a planet. Yes, I already reported it as a bug, but a funny bug nonetheless.

Am I looking at planet cancer or planet porn?
