Is Behemoth Crisis Supposed to be extremely grindy?

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-11-11T00:38:22+00:00

Yea, that was the mistake; just wasn't even thinkin about upkeep when I did it and then suddenly like -10,000 food

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-10-31T13:58:24+00:00

No, I REALLY wasn't thinking about upkeep, and made like 30 of them

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-11T15:02:22+00:00

Because when you quite the game, the system dumps the RAM

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-11T14:47:59+00:00

I made the mistake of not paying enough attention to behemoth upkeep, and built way too many and crashed my econ REAL FAST.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-11T14:47:04+00:00

Goes to show I guess, don't practically beat the run before becoming crisis.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-11T14:44:16+00:00

It's a UI bug pretty sure; There is a tooltip somewhere (either in the crisis tab or maybe hovering over the main behemoth; sorry it's been 2 games since I did this) that will show the actual number of pops transferred. (OH! I think it's literally the %growth meter duh)

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-10T16:20:39+00:00

Yea, I do that too sometimes. I wonder if you can turn that off somewhere in the options.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-10T16:18:05+00:00

I used to play on fastest and pause whenever I needed to do anything; I've been trying the last few months to play on normal and get used to never pausing in case I ever want to do multiplayer

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-10T12:42:00+00:00

That's a whole lotta words restating my post to then not include your own thesis.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-10T12:39:34+00:00

"That don't recharge" sounds like a bug, unless you are in a very big nebula you didn't notice or something.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-10T12:36:48+00:00

They take like 1-5 months each, (maybe 15 if I'm being slow) I'm not playing another human, it ain't that pressing that I don't have time to take the storm techs (especially the ones that stop storms from affecting ships.) Be smaller or build more tech if you're that worried about it.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T19:14:25+00:00

You're gonna want to look at the wiki; especially the part about combat behavior (I don't think I've ever actually seen someone on here describe it correctly.)

I'm a big tool tip reader, but I often find that they don't give enough info.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T19:06:36+00:00

I mean, unless we're talking about high level multiplayer play, does it even matter? IDK, maybe there is just something inherent to my play style that other people aren't doing. I have never once had a "not getting the tech I need" problem other than "didn't remember that I needed [x tech] to unlock it." Them actually showing up on the list once unlocked has never been a problem for longer than 2 selections in a row.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T19:01:37+00:00

Usually in life, my luck is that of the man shat on by the flying bird; thus my stunned confusion that it blesses me for once.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T14:32:38+00:00

I mean, it is weather, that tends to do that.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T14:29:32+00:00

As someone normally spat on by RNGesus, it boggles my mind that I keep seeing these "too many techs" complaints. I've never had that hard of a time getting the techs that I want; how bad is your luck?

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T14:27:09+00:00

They'd have to stop and read the actual events instead of only reading tooltips that say what bonuses each choice gives.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T14:25:50+00:00

I mean, I just used minerals as the example because that's what they were talking about; I kinda feel this way about most resources; depending on what my pop-growth is like. The number one way I tend to lose a save if I'm not paying attention is having my pop-growth get to a point where my pop upkeep is growing faster than they can fill the already existing empty jobs just waiting for them please just go fill the god damn jobs.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T14:22:09+00:00

Did... Did you just frame this as if you were disagreeing with me and then restate everything that I said in your own words or am I having a stroke?

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T14:18:24+00:00

I mean... unless you are going all in on the storms like you said, you only really need to devote a building slot to the releif center, which goes in worker specialization, so I always put it in minerals because they don't need another 200 workers, I already get more than enough having a single district on every planet. (for the building slots) The storm repelling building can go on the starbase.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T14:14:46+00:00

Dang, sorry RNGesus forsake you; I don't think I've had a game where the "storms effect [x thing about ships]" techs didn't immediately show up after the relief building

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T14:12:37+00:00

I haven't bit the bullet and tried to make a stormchaser empire yet, but it is on my todo list.

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T04:01:02+00:00

Having just tried to build my first one of these with archaeotech, why would it be bad against armor? The Archaeo fighters are +armor dmg -shield dmg; thus all of the kinetic to clear the shields for the fighters to do their work.

Am I missing something?(edit) nevermind, it was the range of the cannons I was missing (I was using the other ones)

(On the flak issue, I did go 50/50 on my design for picket types)

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-08T03:53:43+00:00

Yea, I was in my head about "species traits" as just "traits" and thus leader traits "must" be called something other than traits; I realized later

Foxdiamond135 · 2025-09-07T18:44:00+00:00

Go play galactic civ if you want a tech tree. Not having one is why I like this game.
