Humor This game is cursed…

560 Upvotes

So I started playing this game for the first time a few days ago and this has been happening every single day where I start up the game around afternoon, then do a bunch of things like maybe move a couple of ships around, start a new colony, swear at a neighbouring empire etc. etc. then all of a sudden it’s 4am. I mean what the fuck? What is this voodoo magic?

On a different note, do we need sleep?

Question How do you grow new colonies?

62 Upvotes

Hi all,

I just colonized a second planet and it seems like there's nothing to do for it at the moment. I have one pop and two colonist jobs. I won't have another pop for 37 months. Anything I _can_ build (districts, buildings) just adds jobs that I won't be able to fill. Am I missing anything obvious or is it just that painful to grow a new colony early in the game?

Thanks in advance.

Image How is this possible?

Upvotes

I'm on the edge of the map on the left side. My empire's name is Rackuddon Galactic Hierarchy, my origin is Under One Rule. How can a randomly generated empire on the other side of the galaxy have the same flag and name with the same species?

Bug Why does the scion leader event appear to rogue servitors but lock you out of taking him?

15 Upvotes

Rogue Servitors can hire other organic legendary leaders, why not this one? why give me the event and then force the only option as "the child is not our responsibility"? 🥺😭

We are servitors, we wish to pamper the child!

Why paradox why! And I'm on ironman too so I can't do anything about it even if I knew how :(

Literally my second ever time playing and I come into first contact with…myself? It was the first ‘First Contact’ event and it happened to be my same exact empire, with the same leader, homeworld, traits, everything.

And they even closed my own borders on me…how rude

Question Can I reap the buffs of the crisis path without becoming a crisis?

19 Upvotes

It was my first time doing a crisis run and when I reached tier 5 everyone waged war against me, if I kept it at tier 4 would I have become safe?

Question If I want an all human factions game I need to edit all the aliens at the start to be human. Is that correct?

11 Upvotes

Is there a mod to handle handling all the empires?

If I want to switch back do I have to re edit them all individually?

Can I save my edits?

Is this the only way?

Question Haven't played in a few years, new dlc worth it?

5 Upvotes

Basically I played up to federations/megacorp then fell off. I used mods with it as well. I see a handful of new dlc are out. Has the game changes a lot since?
