same for all Gestalts basically, see my above comment. Paradox also quietly removed them being free from the strata system, so Drones also no longer choose freely from open jobs. Also they still dont get acces to the holo theater or equivalent building to at least offer some respite from the lack of amenities.
What I would really also want to point out, is that if you have a bio-shipset, the platforms you get are not biological but standard ones.
"i am not saying PDX are willfully scamming people..." then its not a scam. Besides, theyre working on fixing the mess. What more can they do?
do it like EU5 and release it to creators well in advance to get reliable playtesting and feedback so the updates dont release in such a sorry state
Not fixing bugs, but rather fixing bugs with semi-daily patches (that barely allow any time for development, let alone testing) after a botched release is.
Just build drone housing or hive warrens. They heard people complaining, so they made the problem trivially easy to solve in a way that's compatible with pre-building your planets.Please tell me the devs at least aknowledge that amenitiy production is a major issue for Gestalt empires rn? As they can go without civilians completely, you have to manually micro every single planet so that there are always drones unemployed so they default into maintenance drones. Please give Nexus districts the maintenance job back, so we can freely assign them. Machines are just unplayable rn and nobody seems to care
Not good enough! Any regular empire can have a world soly dedicated to research or alloy prodution. As Building slots are now tied directly to districts, with a large planet you are looking at dedicating more than half of of your building slots in your nexus districts to buildings only to fill your amenities, as they dont scale at all with the number of districts. It would be fine-ish to just make the flat bonus scale as well, but why not just give us back the job, it is not that hard PDX.
If your empire is running out of space and you need to reclaim the building slots to make more jobs... just let drones pile up to be maintenance drones. Then turn housing into jobs, slowly.
again: unnecessarily hard, just make the jobs assignable in the first place.
Ok, but "this doesn't perfectly match my preferred method of manually microing amenities" and "this is unplayable" are two extremely different statements.
Try doing that for 100 worlds, have you ever actually done that? My latest attempt to somehow get past this had my capaign crash and burn due to low stab on all colonies in year 11 (!!). After 200 Years, those planets will all be inhabited by 20k+ pops. This cant seriously be intentional, or the devs just hate gestalts, because regular empires will never have this problem.
You have 100 worlds, all of which are so full of pops that you've already built every district, upgraded every building, and are now looking to reclaim building slots for more jobs? You have 2 million machine drones?
Sounds like you should build Drone Housing on those colonies, since you definitely won't have completely full colonies by year 11.
Regular empires are more restricted, not less. They can build Luxury Housing (same stats as Drone Housing) or a holotheater, and get the same number of amenities from a building slot. They can assign pops to amenity jobs, but those jobs come from building slots (except on an ecu).
As in: all terraforming links now cost the same biomass, but the ones that actually change the class have energy cost as well?
