Stellaris Dev Diary #185: Announcing Necroids

[Cat_Fuzz]

What about all the new rooms that were found in the files months ago? I expected them to be part of the anniversary update, but weren't. Please don't forget these rooms exist and make them available to us.

There's a mod that does exactly this.

 

[alteration]

Do we know that there won't be a fix anytime soon?
And why does this have anything to do with what the art team's projects?

They are silent by half a year about AI, also this DLC brings not only art but also new mechanics.
On top of that, if they want me to keep spending money on their game, they should make it playable/enjoyable first.

Because whiners gonna whine.

And simps gonna simp

Now what about a patch for the game?

Every expansion and flavour pack in the history of every modern Paradox game comes with a patch, are we expecting this to be the one that breaks the pattern?

And we saw how these patches fixed the game

 

[Juboboman]

The fact that war AI has been allowed to remain in its current state where it gets stuck in movement loops for months and crisis AI has been allowed to remain in its state where it just stops expanding for years is unacceptable. I'm not interested in any more fluff features until the broken basics are finally fixed.

Enough is enough is enough.

We are expecting this to be one that not breaks the game even more.

Dear Devs, honestly that is quite nice, would mean i can make a voidfaring Aztek empire, BUT you guys will see no penny from me, if you don't deal with the more important problems fellow writers here have already uttered. I have no interest in playing a game like that in that condition. NO, THANKS.

 

[Olterin]

... So wait, have the past few dev diaries been about DLC features? Or are those going to be in a free patch?

Unneeded

 

[Hundar]

The ships look nice, i couldnt care less about everything else, fix the crysis ai instead

 

[methegrate]

I love the thematic and narrative ideas you're going for here. From the Borg to the Necrons, space-undead open up a lot of room for creativity.

But almost all of this is just an art and aesthetics pack. And while new civics seem to be narratively interesting, Memorialist is just a flavor-variation of spiritualist.

For players who get excited about new art this should be a lot of fun. Personally, though, I'd have a hard time getting excited. It feels like this is lining up to introduce death empires that are basically the same, but with a different picture or with slightly different modifiers here and there.

Obviously.

Because whiners gonna whine.

If you have an issue with a message another user has posted, try speaking to them directly - don't hide behind the Like/Dislike system like a child. Better yet, don't dismiss legitimate grievances with the state of the game as "whining."

EDIT: The more you stack those dislikes up the stronger my point drives home. Talk to people, chaps - it's good for you.

 

[InvisibleBison]

Another expansion to add to my never-buy list. Oh well, maybe the patch will have something worthwhile.

 

[Spartakus]

Cool concept, would love to get it but...

• Military AI unable to play the game
• Sector automation not working at all
• Late game micro hell
• non-functional crisis

All these points have been known for at least months - some have persisted for years and not one is even acknowledged by Paradox.

Hard pass.

And for the record: This kind of consumer treatment is the single reason I havn't aquired CK3 as well.

 

[Silyus]

Wow, that looks amazing

 

[Primarch Victus]

If I wanted Space Zombies, I would tbe taking my sweet time playing Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 2 against the Necrons or shooting the creatures of The Hive in Destiny 1 and/or Destiny 2, not playing Stellaris! And yes, I read when you told that the species aren't necessary undead, but the fact they look like undead is more than enough to me to lose interest in this pack.

Next time, try to come with something more interesting, like a Amphibian/Aquatic Species Pack or a Eldritch Species Pack.

 

[Kautz]

It would be cool if there was a new death or undead themed crisis to go along with this.

AHAHHA the current crysis don't even work and you want a new crysis?
