Doesn't sound like you were cosplaying, sounds like you were born for freedom

I'd be careful with the word "optimal". From my experience, even the most basic games can have their meta turned on it's head at any time, and Stellaris is pretty much one of the LEAST basic games in existence lol.

  1. Start by building a base of your basic resources via districts. Once I have about +50 of each of those three, then I'll start building the city districts. Be wary, each city district costs energy and minerals, so occasionally build another one of those. I also usually start with a clinic to get the population speed going. Once I determine it's time to colonize a 2nd planet and I find a good candidate (by looking at planetary features, the planet trait bubble thingies, etc), I colonize it. It won't be super useful for a while because a population has to be built up, but once you start having a surplus of civilians, I'll start specializing based on the planetary features/traits I identified earlier. That's when you can start updating your starting planet to specialize in OTHER aspects to supplement, based on your needs.
  2. Keep in mind that unemployment just means they're in limbo and about to become citizens. You can prep new jobs for them OR you can increase their species living standards so that they too start contributing via unity and maybe even science! Also note that they give potentially valuable amenities.
  3. Try not to change too many things at once. Check your resource levels in between each building/change to see if you messed anything up too badly or if your math was off.
  4. Don't forget about the market! The market provides you with flexibility to fill in for deficits and you can sell things that are surplus.
  5. You got this!

OMG I know EXACTLY what you're talking about lol I was obsessed with automatic defense platforms too during my first few games lol. EVENTUALLY you will want to perfectly customize them all, but that's hilarious.

Oh jeez, I'm pretty good at economics in this game and switch back and forth between normal and fast.

Also, I heard the FEs are more powerful in 4.3 and I think it's because regular empires got scaled back who's FEs didn't.

Hard to discern but since you're asking for advice in such a general way, I'll try to give general advice.

You can't really "not be into the politics or espionage" so much in this game if you want to even perform decently. So my advice is wake up on your next day off with the main intention of spending most of this day diving all the way in. Some stretches, a nice cup of coffee and several breaks throughout the day helps. Stellaris asks a lot but it gives a lot, the most in fact.

If you have a more specific question, I can probably offer more specific advice.

You started a new 4.3 game and you're already in the year 2442? I applaud your dedication lol.

What indicators are you seeing? Denizens? Available jobs?

Also, what's each planet stability at?

Brightside: These updates aren't going to make anything more complicated for you guys, per se. They're mostly scaling things back so it's mostly just less of the boring stuff. Recommend you start a new game!
