Experimental Subspace Navigation does not work properly for me.
The MIA will expire and the ship returns to where it started instead of the destination.
This is an issue that already occured with the previous beta update.
Wonder, if you guys have the same issue.
Edit: Reloaded old save and It just worked for me.
My save from 2025-07-29 (two versions ago I think?) still has that issue where buildings on planets don't register as existing unless I force an update by demolishing an existing building, causing unemployment events and economic upheaval on month tick, though it also fixes itself after that point.
Hmm so Mutagenic Habitabilty got nerfed. May I propose it be set to 180% or a flat 20% boost? That’s a net 20% nerf and would be a nice round number as opposed to having 75 x 0.25 = 18.75% that it’s at right now. That would shift Mutation Authority cap from 250 to 260 or basically another ~2.5% overall. I mean 250% is crazy but results in 150 x 0.25 37.5%. Making it an even 40% is mathematically pleasing to me.
Another week, another update. The Wilderness Open Beta has been updated again today, with a large number of changes. Today's update includes a lot of fixes and improvements that we did during the summer but hadn't cherry-picked into the Open Beta earlier, so it's a long one.
There are some UI changes of particular interest to modders - Districts now support overlay icons to display resources associated with them, and Building icons are now centered rather than offset.
Balance
The Charismatic and Repugnant traits (and their robotic, cybernetic and overtuned equivalents) now additionally provide job efficiency modifiers for elite strata and bio-trophy jobs. Go forth and pamper the galaxy's most adorable creatures! (For real this time.)
Increased job weight for genomic researchers
Knights of the Toxic God balancing:
Knight Jobs now receive a 15% base upkeep increase everytime they unlock a quest reward that increases their base unity or research output
The impact of knight jobs on the speed of the Quest situation has been reduced from 0.5 to 0.2
Squire jobs now also grant a slight increase to the upkeep of Knight jobs

Slavery Updates for non-Slaver Guild empires: Unemployed Slaves intentionally do not demote into Civilians, but remain as Unemployed pops in the Worker stratum. They do not gain additional happiness penalties beyond those they already have due to being enslaved. Unemployed Slaves can now auto-migrate without requiring a Slave Processing or Transit Hub building. Slaves in Domestic Servitude will continue to take Servant jobs instead of becoming unemployed, but will not auto-migrate.
Increased the thresholds for "Rising Unemployment" events. Unemployed Slaves do not contribute to "Rising Unemployment" events. (They're not upset at not being forced into the mines.)
Added Coastal Hamlets district specialization for empires that are both Anglers and Agrarian Idyll. These give Angler, Pearl Diver and Trader jobs (35 jobs of each type) and accept both Agriculture and Urban buildings. The starting Aquaculture district specialization is replaced with this if you have Agrarian Idyll.
Subterranean Urbanization district specialization now grants 75 miner and 75 trader jobs per district (up from 50 of each)

Re-added support for "add_trait = <trait>" syntax for leaders.
Here's the complete list of changes so far:
Improvement
Significant quality of life and system changes to Wilderness empires.
To prevent issues with biomass not being available on planets due to construction, all Wilderness jobs are now automatically worked without requiring biomass. These jobs are worked by your primary species.
Jobs for Wilderness are now also properly represented instead of being worked by a single pop with massive workforce bonuses, you now see exactly how the job is worked, and the sliders are also now usable to customize how much of each job will be worked.
These changes are intended to prevent situations where some jobs would go unworked, make Wilderness less bug-prone, and are intended to give you more control over your economy in deficit situations.
Grown pops now spawn in a default stratum and job (like “Civilian”) instead of being unemployed their parents' stratum
Planetary Automation no longer actively tries to keep some civilians around.
Improved planet modifier tooltips so they display a better source than "From Buildings”
The Technological Ascendancy AP now unlocks research policies allowing you to increase the draw weight for technology categories

Various guardian space critter factions will now ignore ftl inhibitors.
The diplomacy tradition "The Federation" now also gives 25% progress in the Federation Code technology
The Holo-Museums acquired from the Curator enclave now swap Entertainers (or Evaluators) to Curators (or Curator Drones). These jobs produce Unity and Amenities, with each Holo-Museum adding additional job upkeep and output. Holo-Museums can now be constructed in research and resort specializations. Finally, these buildings are improved by the Archaeo-Engineers AP.
Galactic Curator civics also swap Entertainers (or Evaluators) to Curators (or Curator Drones)
Substantially increased the base Command Limit of fleets and most sources of Command Limit. We know you were going to doomstack those fleets anyway.

We'll go into the ongoing plan for this patch in the dev diary later today, where I'll also list a few more changes that aren't in today's update.
To opt into the Wilderness Open Beta, go to your Steam library, right click on Stellaris -> Properties -> Betas -> select "wilderness- Wilderness Open Beta" branch in the Beta Participation dropdown. You may need to restart Steam to get it to appear.
does the change to charismatic apply to overtuned and cybernetic versions of the trait? i've never done a start as biological, side with the AI uprising, become rogue servitor run before because i have no idea how to provoke a rogue servitor outcome. but i always had this idea in my head before 4.0 of building the perfect biotrophies before an uprising and then becoming rogue servitor. now i might just take this more seriously and take a closer look at if there's any way to guarantee a servitor uprising lol
I now understand why I was having so much trouble figuring out what was going on. Thanks for the fix!
Also I agree trutleturtle, it would make way more sense to have asymmetrical quest stages for KotTG, then nerfing early game scaling even more. Players should be rewarded for managing to get their knight count up early when it's the hardest.
Halving the purity imperial bonuses seems a bit harsh when they were already kind of mid? Deserved for oligarchic and whatnot but I do think they were in an okay spot.
Slavery doest work if you have xenophobe. Start as xenophobe necrophage and the slave pops never employ. Also slave and worker bonuses still don't stuck like the did prior to 4.0
Slavery doest work if you have xenophobe. Start as xenophobe necrophage and the slave pops never employ. Also slave and worker bonuses still don't stuck like the did prior to 4.0
They never will. Population doesn't work jobs anymore they only supply workforce there is no slave jobs only slave pops providing workforce. Those modifiers need to be moved to something like like slave worker job efficiency.
We haven't made any changes to that in specific, but we'll investigate. Their job weighting should have them restore the jobs if crime increases, so if it's not doing that it's definitely a bug.
IRC there is some kind of thing where the AI doesn't bother working the jobs if it doesn't think it can actually reduce crime meaningfully. So there may be an issue with it not accounting for job efficiency causing false positives on that.
Assuming you guys keep the nerf on imperial purity, would you consider taking a look at the agenda? It's laughably weak compared to cloning/etc and I thought that was counterbalanced by the governments.
Annoyingly, you have to turn it off and on again (which takes 10 years), but you can make them Residents, then swap them back to being Slaves, and it will work properly.
I'll third imperial not needing the nerf, since its purity buffs are way weaker than the others. Have you considered improving democracy's, since they already are good at making people happy?
You finally fixed Cybernetic Creed after 3 1/2 months (and please don't break it again, like you did after 4.0.13). Pop growth seems to be working for Ritualistic Implant pop.
However then you failed to mention it in the patch notes (or am I blind?).
