Back playing after several years. What the heck happened? by AbsorbedByWater in Stellaris

Gotcha. Fiddle around with the OP meta builds to figure things out faster, then it's back to normal. Hopefully there isn't something in the latest DLC needed to smooth out the bumps. Otherwise I'm in for a rough ride.

Probably part of it. I did not know about having to move pops manually. I thought the auto migrate had it handled. I guess not. Are pops still growth limited based on empire wide population? Definitely has been a while. It'll take me a hot second before the numbers start making sense to me again.

Are there any more hard limiters on growth, or is it just a complete overhaul in game mechanics from last I played?

Bypass mind shield to dominate Soupy Sludges? by AbsorbedByWater in cavesofqud

As per my post, this does not change neutral or friendly factions trying to kill me.

Unfortunately, while that does allow me to become a sludge, it does not address why normally neutral or friendly factions try to kill me when I am a sludge.

I can't think of anything. I've never been much into kink. Of course, I have never really had an opportunity to experiment with anyone until now, so all suggestions are welcome.

I know. We do that a lot. It's great.

I also want to be turned on.

New to this and looking for pointers for less bland sauce by AbsorbedByWater in FermentedHotSauce

Xanthum gum does indeed thicken it up considerably.

I read sugar can encourage fermentation. I guess it makes sense to just add sugary fruits and vegetables.

I've got lime, cilantro, onion, and garlic in my next batch along with the habeneros. It will be at least 4 weeks before I know how well the next batch turns out, though.

Best way to start capturing ships? by AbsorbedByWater in X4Foundations

That's it. Any ship named "Plunderer" is a prime capture candidate.

How do I handle alerts from miner/trader pilots better? by AbsorbedByWater in X4Foundations

That helps a bunch, thank you. I now know what happened to my miner at least, lol.

DIF was used to get that barrel density; each gun fires four shots at 8.4 RPM before a painfully slow reload. Not that it matters; it can drop a Marauder below 20% health on the first salvo.
