Stellaris Dev Diary #300 - Happy Anniversary! 3.8 "Gemini" and Galactic Paragons Release Notes

It's been seven years since Stellaris released, and with this anniversary and three hundredth dev diary, I'm happy to bring you the Stellaris 3.8 "Gemini" update and the Galactic Paragons expansion. Here are the release notes for the update, which will be going live later today IS NOW LIVE. Galactic Paragons is available here. A Review of the Year Since the last anniversary, let's look at some of what we've accomplished together. Last May we released the "Cepheus" update and the Overlord expansion, introducing the Situations system, updating subjugation mechanics, adding five new Origins, and a huge amount of empire emblems, backgrounds, and flag colors. In September, the "Fornax" update and the Toxoids Species Pack added new difficulty settings, allowed you to spawn all the crises, and brought us the epic tale of the Toxic God. Fleet combat rebalancing was the primary focus of the "Orion" update in late November, which also added some new galaxy shapes and added roles to the ship designer. The First Contact Story Pack started this year alongside the "Canis Minor" update, adding Cloaking to Stellaris and improving Pre-FTL civilizations, while also adding some challenging Origins and focusing on game stability. And now the "Gemini" update and Galactic Paragons adds the Council, revamps leader mechanics, updates armies and bombardment, and introduces two cooperative game modes (in a beta state). Over the year we also had a number of Open Betas. Many thanks to all of you that played in them and helped us find as many issues as possible. We've had a busy year! We'll be skipping this Thursday's Dev Diary to keep the team focused on post-release support, and will be returning to our regular once-a-week cadence. Since next Thursday is a holiday in Sweden, the next Stellaris Dev Diary will be on Tuesday, May 16th. After that, we plan on returning to our normal Thursday slot. See you then! Please note that save file compatibility between versions is not guaranteed. If you have an important game going in a previous version, please back up the save file before trying to load the save in 3.8.1. You can roll back to a prior version by right-clicking on Stellaris in your library -> Properties -> Betas -> choose the desired version from the drop-down. If you experience crashing or other issues, first disable all mods and start a new save. If the issue persists, please report it on the Bug Report forums.

Question: What happens if I, as a gestalt, do not like the traits my immortal nodes get? Can I "retire" my nodes and get new ones? Or am I stuck with it?

Gestalts have an Agenda to purge their Nodes of negative traits, though they lose some XP for each negative trait removed.
