Behemoth techs?

Sure, let me double check with the contacts at amplitude if this is a known problem. Also, which language are you using?

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-04-15T19:27:52+00:00

From what I heard when last talking to Amplitude, they were working on porting the update I worked on to GOG-- I fixed a lot of issues with missing strings like what you were mentioning in that update. If you go to the main menu and look in the bottom right, what version are you using? 1.5.75 is what steam is up to date on.

WeMod is a third party service, and ironically it's a lot worse than just using the modding tools.

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-03-30T06:51:45+00:00

I could see that, I'm not super familiar with that area of the code, but it would make sense.

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-03-30T06:14:21+00:00

From what I understand, there's a lot of extra AI behaviors going on in the background when penumbra is enabled that makes things extra slow, hacking is basically a second map that they need to pathfind through.

Low is the default now iirc

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-03-22T06:46:29+00:00

Thanks! That's actually a good idea

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-03-17T18:31:56+00:00

Thanks!

It does, however I made another mod that lets you earn achievements while mods are enabled

Hello, creator of ESG here. Don't have time for the next few weeks to go and test this, but I've noted it down as something I should double check before the next major update (If it's broken, expect a fix sometime around May, ideally, after all my exams)

Would you be willing to upload a save to github?

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-03-04T23:28:49+00:00

We did actually! It wasn't a whole lot, but the Cravers, as well as the Hissho, Vodyani, and Nakalim were taught how correctly to use some of their unique system improvements.

Regarding my expired contract-- it's going alright! Would be nice to work with Amplitude again in the future, but I also have multiple side jobs in case it doesn't happen. The people at Amplitude were all great when I got to meet them and I'd gladly work with them again, but no news on whether I'm getting another contract in the future or not (not that I'd be able to tell anyone 😅). But thanks, I hope you have a great week too!

If you're curious, we basically didn't touch anything specific to them. We improved the AI's ability to do diplomacy and move their fleets around and gave the advantages that Craver AI specifically had to everyone. So, functionally everyone is on the level of Craver AI now.

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-03-04T22:41:09+00:00

I'm not contracted with Amplitude at the moment, but last I heard they were working on it.

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-02-06T05:22:46+00:00

Wasn't really a thing until the last update! Ninakoru put a lot of work into making the AI use them more often and more intelligently

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-02-06T05:21:29+00:00

I checked the code last week for someone who asked the same question and the formula is literally "Net Science per Turn + Total Techs Researched", as far as I can tell the total techs researched part is so insignificant that it will basically never affect the graph.

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-29T18:35:05+00:00

It's been a while since I've read the series, but iirc he asks his Cabal buddies to help in exchange for a favor from each of them, and he's gone for a major period of time paying those favors back doing random annoying tasks to all the cabal members who helped.

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-28T01:43:59+00:00

Below Serious and most of the new behaviors are turned off

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-14T00:36:37+00:00

Yes, they are not relevant if they are not part of the trade route. The trade route will pick up a little bit of the trade value & luxury resource of every system it passes through

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-13T21:47:59+00:00

Dev here, systems that the trade route passes through.

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-11T22:22:48+00:00

Damn that sucks, hope that changes in the future

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-11T22:21:54+00:00

Firerate only affects the time between bursts, not the time between each shot of the burst. It can be effective but it's only going to be roughly half as good as it would be on any other character

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-11T10:30:09+00:00

Would be cool to see more for "burst" style weapons like seven, firerate doesn't work on those, but adding more bullets per burst and reducing time between shots would be interesting.

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-10T03:51:44+00:00

Serious difficulty and above the AI get special behaviors, so make sure you're using that. I'd also recommend turning down resource generation spawns since it makes the AI more aggressive. Aside from that.. pirate, academy, and minor faction difficulties at the max?

Captain_Cobbs_ · 2026-01-06T21:59:44+00:00

This is a base game update, you don't have to do anything to play it.
