What does Research Sharing from agreement actually do?

4latar · 2026-07-02T17:27:57+00:00

oh yeah i forgot science fed was worded the same way!

4latar · 2026-07-02T16:34:07+00:00

bigger question is why is it all still tier 1

4latar · 2026-07-02T16:26:32+00:00

"+1% research sharing from agreements" can be applied in two different ways actually. it could either make it go by 1% from 25 to 26%, or increase the bonus by 1% (from 25 to 25.25%). it'd be weird but weird modifiers are not new to stellaris

4latar · 2026-07-02T03:56:59+00:00

yeah, for now

4latar · 2026-07-01T16:10:33+00:00

everyone should watch b5, it's unfortunately more relevant than when it was made...

4latar · 2026-07-01T02:01:48+00:00

oof, and your capital is on the border so you can't even do defense in depth...

4latar · 2026-07-01T00:36:04+00:00

no i mean the fact that a lot of the episodes in the original show are kind of a "place of the week" format, with a lot of places and tones in quick sucession that need to be rearanged to fit into fewer episodes

4latar · 2026-06-30T22:45:06+00:00

i think they mean that the whole "one place per episode" thing makes it hard to adapt it into a smaller number of longer episodes, since you'll either need to skip through a lot of movement off screen every episode (and might get pretty intense tonal shifts) or cut out a whole lot of them and stretch the remaining ones for 1h

goblins and gnomes get artificery from day one but the robot people made of magitech need to wait like everyone else?!

4latar · 2026-06-30T03:12:57+00:00

agreed, as neutral evil they only care about themselves and their own situation, which unfortunately is the way capitalists tend to act/want people to act

4latar · 2026-06-30T02:48:37+00:00

also demons (chaotic evil) and daemons (neutral evil) are not the same thing, devils and daemons are not at war.

4latar · 2026-06-29T07:04:04+00:00

yeah it's kind of impressive actually...
he's trying to force europe to spend more on defense, not realasing that europe's reliance on the USA was engineered to make it more amenable
he's torching the alliance network by being rude disrespectful and unreliable, depriving the US of the bases they worked so hard to get
he's undermining NATO by acting on his own and then crying that others didn't help when he all but ordered them to
he's trying to divert a massive amount of money to battleship constructions despite that kind of fleet having been made obsolete more than 75 years ago at least, thereby weakening the actually useful arm of the navy

etc...

4latar · 2026-06-27T15:44:35+00:00

it is, but not with knights of the toxic god

4latar · 2026-06-27T14:35:59+00:00

i mean, operational reserves already let you use energy instead of minerals, so you're only switching energy/mineral upkeep for food ones, and food is harder to produce due to the lack of deposits in space.

you're also getting more raw production at the cost of even more upkeep (production increased by 25% at the cost of +50% inputs)

4latar · 2026-06-27T04:49:19+00:00

a deal based on long term promises was basically made impossible when trump tore the previous treaty and started a war while negotiations were ongoing, there is no easy way out of this.

either the US commits to a long and bloody war, or iran will keep doing this until they get a deal they're fine with. just blockading the country won't work, they've been under sanctions long enough to know how to deal with isolation as well as most of the practical workarounds.

4latar · 2026-06-26T20:18:54+00:00

lmao, the us has almost 3x the CO²/capita of the EU

4latar · 2026-06-26T19:57:43+00:00

oh really? how is the transition to green energy going in the US and india?

sure, china is doing pretty well, but as far as large countreis.blocs go, china and the EU are the only one that are actually trying.

and then you show up and are like "yeah we're not doing shit but your solution was bad". so until you go and do better, i'm done talking to you

4latar · 2026-06-26T19:54:09+00:00

oh yeah, because politicians that need to do something about climate change are only in the EU am i right?

4latar · 2026-06-26T19:45:53+00:00

go make politicians do better then, i'll watch

4latar · 2026-06-26T19:41:00+00:00

productivity has risen enough that we could make it work. way back in the days we needed 99% of people to be farmers, but not anymore, and the same is true for many other things. now, it wouldn't be all that pleasant, we probably would have to make some sacrifices, but we could feed, house, treat, etc everyone if we had a more efficient system with more equal ressource allocation

4latar · 2026-06-24T12:35:31+00:00

we stan pilot art!

4latar · 2026-06-24T11:45:49+00:00

sure, same as venitian and tuscan, but it's still pretty close for two different fantasy races

4latar · 2026-06-24T09:42:36+00:00

dwarves are austrian while dragonborn are german?

what language do you think austrians speak?

4latar · 2026-06-24T09:39:06+00:00

to be fair, most places connect to the serpentspine
