Stellaris 4.0 Maintenance Drones

[HFY]

Gestalt Amenities should be changed to come from a Complex Drone job.

Maintenance Drones should be changed to "Spare Drones" and should have benefits from Civics like what Ethics give to Civilians now.

Feels like this patch makes no sense for rogue servitor which I play exclusively.

Seems like the devs have their hands full already and this is not a high priority at the moment. Been trying around quite abit and it just doesn't make sense or is fun.

I think I'll come back to stellaris in 6 months or so and hopefully it's more playable then.

In one of the updates after 4.0 we got logistics drones to provide amenities. They get hilariously outclassed by the flat amenity building, but the flat amenity builds are just way overpowered anyways atm, and they are at least technically there and come with capital building.

from my rogue servitor thread, i'm cautiously optimistic that it is really only a patch away for a servitor fix. someone is actively working on it and it seems like the ideas of what to change are pretty solid.

Didn't they get rid of entertainment districts?

I haven't built an ecu yet since the update, but the wiki says there are only two district types unique to ecus and both provide either clerks or logistic drones.

If that's true, it would be great for virtual individual machines so they could actually use the per-clerk-output modifier from the tradition.
No idea what logistic drones are supposed to be though, the wiki has them not listed in on the Jobs page atm.

nvm, no clerks of any kind on ecus for individual machines, also no amenities district, tier 1 holo theatres it is.

wait... there's no more entertainment districts on ecus now?

Okey, you could be right.

Obviously I'm not good enough in this patch, the mechanics and stuff to say anything with confidence. "Game loop" is very different. For example, biotrophies doesn't grow? How do I even make them grow in new colonies except capital, I can't (find the button?) resettle. They just stay at 0.
I will need to watch youtubers to explain stuff to me, this time I don't seem to figgure anything myself.

I might stick around abit, but I feel it needs rather significant improvement and not just a one patch to be Fun. But at the same time, the stellaris team is really great at figgure stuff out. I have never felt the game being unplayable/broken in all these years.

I think I'll try some other species and see how it feels.

currently pop growth is broken for biotrophies, because there's a -50% on machine intelligence. they said they will be removing that, so that should fix them. they'll also buff the number we start with apparently, and add sanctuary district specialization. i'm excited to see how servitors play after those changes.

but yeah, until those changes there are other species that may be a better experience till the next patch.
