Sectors really that broken?

@TempusxX Exactly. You have the freedom to do so and I applaud your decision, instead of crying about removing them from the game.

to me sectors are boring and do not add fun to the game, takes the fun away from the game which is why I don't use sectors I use mods that increase the planet core limit so I will never have to use sectors

And what when you're late game with almost 100 planets? That drop-down planet list must cripple your game.

Sectors are fine.

They still need some work in-regards to slavery management and it would be nice to be able to confiscate some of their resources when you need them.

The Sector AI behaves a bit weirdly, It tends to be generally poor at building on planets, such as upgrading food on a full planet +5 food already when it has three empty tiles that could be build on instead.



It isn't broken, but it's not particularly good. Normal empire AI builds better as well oddly.

In my opinion, introducing sectors is one of the most elegant game design choices: simple, removes tons of micromanagement and indirectly makes rapid expansion less effective. Not without flaws (resource hoarding), but still very good.

On paper, I actually agree.

To bad about the practice, I guess.

Hardened sector critic here but no I don't think a rework is necessary at all. That's an optimisation objective for Stellaris 2 perhaps but for now sectors are doing their job.

The issue is that people expect too much of that 'job'. the AI will never ever enslave, purge or build in a manner that mirrors a human in terms of efficacy or efficiency. At the same time though, I'm yet to encounter any game-breaking sector behaviour. And if it ain't broke...

Well the worse behavior is that you cannot have redevelopment on without risking it destroying the unique building on the planet, outside of that I am usually fine with sector behavior, but I mostly put my sector on research if it doesn't involve slavery, so don't really care about the resource, as I get 100% of the research, so I leave it free to do whatever as long as it has a sustainable economy and only start to tax when I see it having very comfortable revenue or I am in need.
