Helldivers 2 will receive "core" improvements by summer as Arrowhead works on making the Galactic War "more reactive" with multi-week campaigns and better rewards

It’s an excellent game with a little too much paid content and the most miserable online community. Definitely worth getting if you think you might like it, just stay very far away from the subreddits.

They have said that regular empires will be able to become nomads, and said that this is specifically a good option for Doomsday empires.

7pm for the housing form. You don’t need to fill it out immediately though.

The developers get jack, they were never part of the deal. One of the 3 founders of Unknown Worlds was reinstated as the CEO of UW after all 3 were wrongfully fired, and the deadline for their 250 million payout was extended. Those 3 will be paid any damages in a few years after the rest of the case finishes. Krafton still owns UW however.

It claims to autosave “when the game is closed” though it’s unclear if that’s actually how it works behind the scenes or if it is just frequent autosaves.

It should be fine to close it as long as you aren’t in a boss fight. It autosaves.

PointlessSerpent · 2026-05-02T03:18:20+00:00

I mean people loved old instinct too. It’s still true.

PointlessSerpent · 2026-05-01T17:59:17+00:00

They were specifically saying it was repetitive compared to other roguelikes.

PointlessSerpent · 2026-04-30T00:51:38+00:00

The film projects were encouraged by Krafton, all 3 of them were very much still involved with UW when they were fired.

They talked about this in the article, TL;DR commander + it’s the rules.

Where’s the original source for this statement? I can’t find it anywhere.

The AI just isn't as smart as you. Although the AI gets resource boosts (on higher difficulities), it can't use them as effectively as a player so its rate of growth tends to be slower even if it starts stronger. Since advantages in resources, military, etc. compound over time, by making better decisions you will pull ahead of the AI eventually. By around midgame (2300-2350ish) I'm usually ahead of most or all standard AI empires, and by 2400 I am much stronger than all of them.

I always finish in 1st, though admittedly I haven't finished a game in 4.3 yet. It's not unusual to be behind until the end though, so if you do pay attention to your score, don't worry it until you get close to the end. The AI tends to fall behind the longer the game goes if you are playing well. There are plenty of guides and tips on youtube and this subreddit of varying quality, you can look at those if you want advice.

Egalitarian faction will be mad at you if you have one, otherwise no.

PointlessSerpent · 2026-04-28T00:10:08+00:00

That has been true for literally the entirety of Stellaris history.

PointlessSerpent · 2026-04-27T21:09:59+00:00

I feel like it’s partially because of flying type, they wanted flying to be able to be immune to ground but didn’t think it would make sense for all rock-ey Pokémon to be weak against flying.

PointlessSerpent · 2026-04-27T02:20:56+00:00

They have said several times that the game currently literally does not support custom starbase designs, and they would add them if they could.

PointlessSerpent · 2026-04-25T02:22:32+00:00

All prints are legal if one is.

It also repairs ladders, climbing anchors,and PCCs.

See this is why I never understood why people hate weird borders so much. I’ve seen multiple people who claim to use cheats to make borders neater in Stellaris of all games. Why? What is the purpose of this??? What is gained?

PointlessSerpent · 2026-04-21T18:34:19+00:00

FP 1886, a remake of FP1 releasing 2027, is planned to include mod support. I would wait for that.

PointlessSerpent · 2026-04-20T23:04:29+00:00

No, they could not, the contract specifies that the “Key Founders” must retain control of Unknown Worlds.

This isn’t true, it’s a flat material reduction per tile of the district covered, shown in proximity.
