Stellaris 3.12 Andromeda
- Thread starter Thorvard
- Start date
Expensive, but it's getting rave reviews, which is pretty rare for a Stellaris expansion lately.
I always wait on the DLC until a Steam sale puts it at ~50% or so. Full price just isn't worth it.
I just started a v3.12 game, and so far I'm liking the automod traits (e.g., Adaptive Frames for robots). No more micromanaging species based on their job. Only minor drawback I'm seeing is that I have to keep the Robot Assembly Plants around even after gaining Engineered Evolution and building out Clone Vats/Gene Clinics. (This dev diary describes it.)
Not really liking that robots have a habitat preference now, however, though I get the logic of it.
My nice Singularity suddenly needed DE which I didn't have yet so my save nearly died. caught it quickly and disabled the building until I get the research for it.
SO if you have all crisis on and they add a new one, will you get the new one in the existing save? curious.

I continued a game from prior to the latest DLC set to all crisis curious to see how it would play out. Spiritualist empire awakened and I promptly got 6 event alerts related to it. rounding PI to a whole number, messing with the fabric of the universe, and spawning shround entities.
The annoying thing? It is 2440 and still no megastructure research.

Picked up Machine Age and started a new game for the first time in... 18 months or so? Promptly forgot how much of a stats time sink it was when I looked at the clock last night and realized I'd played till 2:30 AM and had only advanced things around 10 years. I can't resist micro managing All The Things.
Playing a Gestalt machine caretaker civ for the first time. The Supreme leader's name is Norman. And he wants to take care of you.
Edit: once again, though, I've got to find a better portrait gallery for machines that don't look like 1960's B-movie props. Devs/artists should take a page from Cyberpunk.

As much as I wanna experience new Stellaris content, unless their free weekend is all DLC enabled for free too, the game's DLC is just too expensive.
Even when they're on sale, I feel like I need 3-4 DLC to actually have a significantly different experience in the game, and at $10 a pack, that's $30-40 bucks. Even the oldest larger DLC packs don't go under $10. It's not even like the oldest DLC becomes cheap over time, MegaCorp and Utopia are still at the asking price of $20/$10 (on sale). Those came out in 2017 and 2018, they're well over 5 years old.
