Stellaris Dev Diary #264 - Damn the Consequences

[Gruntsatwork]

Will Mutagenic Spas only work with normal industrial districts or also with their upgraded versions on Ecumenopolis?

Mutagenic Spas will work with Ecumenopolis districts, ringworld districts and habitat districts, with greater scaling for habitats.

I just wanna know where the hell those venomous insects are coming from.

Probably introduced during the Detox process, to convert something bad on the planet into something somewhat less bad. It's just when the something bad ran out, they still needed to be removed.

 

[Eladrin]

Can I combine with pleasure seekers for crazy stacks of pop growth?

Sure.

Do the insects appear in the colony's Features list?

They're one of the blockers that can generate, and can be removed.

Instead of removing these obstacles it would be more original to be able to convert them into something useful

Sounds like something the Knights of the Toxic God would say.

Ni!

So, the noxious trait tooltip indicates happiness changes of "-0.01" and "+0.02" for each noxious/ non-noxious pop on the planet.
Is that 0.0X% or just a weird way to write -1% and +2%

Because the former means that 100 pops cause a change of 1% which is basically no impact for most planets.

It's just a formatting/display error, they are -1% and +2% respectively.

Radiotrophic will probably still be locked to Plantoids and Fungoids

This might be changing in 3.6 Orion if my experiments work out.

 

[Eladrin]

What if I like tomb worlds?

The Situation gives you the option to embrace and study the changes that are occurring.

 

[Alfray Stryke]

Finally we'll get to celebrate toxicity in all its forms.

Not that I care, I'm waiting for the core mechanics of the game to be fixed, but I do find the theme hilarious.

Which core mechanics do you feel are broken?
