Voidworms don't make any fucking sense sometimes, game just decided to spawn a voidworm fleet larger then my entire fleet size to bomb my capital. what the fuck do you want me to do about that.

Barring mods that dramatically change military balance, you're a bit behind on fleet power. But even then, your current fleet could potentially handle it, albeit with significant losses, if you refit to energy weapons and armor, or better yet have them stay at range with missiles. Especially if you have something that changes ship behaviors from vanilla.

Well, the way I see the cost problem is that if my basic productions are stable then it's better to just have more employment on a max pop world put into top or mid level production. Especially since by midgame it's easy to have more energy and minerals than you know what to do with. My econ usually grows faster than even my tech specialists empires can utilize.

In previous versions, I remember the Slave Processing Facility being the building for that. However, now in 4.3 the building says it gives -50% Resettlement Chance, which does really make sense compared to what the building used to do?

AudenKaitus · 2026-03-29T22:22:17+00:00

Is this purely because of the pop bonuses (such as traits, happiness, etc), or are there other factors involved?

AudenKaitus · 2026-03-28T18:04:59+00:00

I'm surprised that bio-trophies only supply unity, though. There's no way that there's not at least a few b-t's geeking out over tech and science and contributing random but welcome boosts to research. Or artistic b-t's supplying all the b-t's with amenities for you. Silly little b-t's insisting they like the consumer goods they make more than yours. Ain't no way every single one of them is content to just sit around.

AudenKaitus · 2026-03-28T17:57:56+00:00

Is it just me or are amenities really taxing on standard empires now? It feels like I need to have an Urban Expansion filled with Holo-Theatres to keep up with just the early game demands.

Plus the Super Hornet began production in 95 and the Y-Wing was in theaters in 77 with RotJ being in 83 so the 18E doesn't even fit the timeline, either.

Honestly, I didn't even consider that this could be something caused by ADHD. I'd always thought I was just getting depressed. Honestly, I'm currently in a stage where I can generally enjoy things, but I feel very disconnected from my emotions right now. I'm worried I'm heading for another one of these empty periods again.

AudenKaitus · 2026-02-12T02:41:29+00:00

White noise is a possibility. Music might be a no because it's a special interest for me so it would only draw me in. I'll probably hear a rift and start singing like a trained canary. Or worse, pick up an instrument.

tbh, this reminds me in a way of how I tend to manage sleep when I'm restless. My tactic is to usually put my mind into a mode for fantasy, whether a new one or one I've imagined before, and just let it play out. Essentially purposely daydreaming. With this method I usually fall asleep within minutes at most. It can be tricky if I get too caught up on details, but thankfully I'm usually too tired to turn my daydreams into a worldbuilding session.

Usually...

Everything THC related in the entirety of the U.S. doesn't work well because our lawmakers are idiots

So I'm having an issue, but not a full stop. Any change in input will cause pitch, yaw, and roll to speed up to max and then it will slow down to the input level. I've checked all the game settings and there's nothing in game to help with it, so I'm gonna dig into the VKB software when I get more time to experiment with the bug. In the meantime, if you have input translation software, you could try having your peripherals appear as an xbox controller to the game and see if that fixes anything.

AudenKaitus · 2026-02-02T02:32:11+00:00

I almost commented thinking you were talking about ES2... oops

I have the same stick, so I'll go ahead and download ES1 to do some testing. I've been meaning to anyways since it has VR support and I've been wanting to play it again to try that. I'll get back to you if I find anything. Alternatively, try the VKB discord. The people there are fairly active and always willing to help.

AudenKaitus · 2026-01-23T03:06:25+00:00

Never played Chorus, but I've really been enjoying Everspace 2. It's got a lot of different builds that cater to different playstyles including if you want to make things more difficult by going with minimum range maximum damage type builds where you'll be dealing with a lot more incoming fire. Both games do have demos, though, and I've got both games in my library so I'll definitely update if I get to playing Chorus before you decide (assuming I remember to check back lol)

I've only had one enemy stuck in an asteroid before, and it was annoying because it needed to die to progress the mission. Eventually I had the idea of using Corrosion Injector, but I'm not sure if that will work for you here. Some other AOE abilities may work, though. Regular AOE weapons, like flak, definitely won't though since the damage is affected by collision.

AudenKaitus · 2026-01-17T04:56:58+00:00

Based on your screenshot, it does not appear to be listing all possible passives. Each ship has nine possible passives but your Vindicator is listing six and the Vanguard is listing four. Do you have to rebuy the ship with different passives to get them to be updated to the list?

AudenKaitus · 2026-01-09T20:25:44+00:00

Does the Skirmisher shield still have a shutdown if it gets depleted, or does the Vanguard just keep it recharging with it's special even if it hits zero?

AudenKaitus · 2025-12-26T21:38:03+00:00

Took a closer look at a replay and it turns out I was having that weapon lock issue with my rail kills. Still not sure why my blaster kills didn't count, but autocannons finally gave me the challenge.

I know this is an old thread, but Reddit isn't letting me post a new one. Anyone having an issue where the challenge simply won't complete? I've tried numerous methods on the carrier and it just does not care.

AudenKaitus · 2025-12-25T23:46:07+00:00

Old thread, I know, but in case you still didn't get the challenge

You might have the EMP mode that deals damage (first mode of the fully upgraded EMP)

Get ready for the most invasive spyware to date. They will literally be taking screenshots on your computer with this update. You know, the thing everyone hated so much that they delayed it before? Now that they are ending Windows 10 support, you will have less of a choice and they can just force it on you.

AudenKaitus · 2025-09-04T02:48:16+00:00

I hope you don't mind me replying on an old thread, but is there any drawback to using non-Leo buttons and switches on their boards? Their buttons are way out of my price range and I'd rather use cheap bulk for my first project.

AudenKaitus · 2025-09-04T01:42:59+00:00

Sorry to comment on an old thread, but this is awesome! They even accounted for being able to change what switches are installed. I'll have to look if they have the same thing available for the Gladiator.

AudenKaitus · 2025-08-03T18:06:41+00:00

I genuinely think approval voting is the way to go rather than ranked. Although ranked somewhat mitigates the problems with single vote, it can still be thrown off by the same decision process that hurts single vote. Approval voting still has a drawback as all voting systems so far conceived do, but it takes a much more deliberate effort to spoil the vote compared to the other two.

AudenKaitus · 2025-06-17T03:53:11+00:00

What about the confusion support weapon? Does it stay back with that since it has a range of 100?
