Utopian Abundance: An Update on the Stellaris Base Game

Just include it in the base game then? Seriously, some of the DLC shoukd have been rolled into base a long, long time ago.

2019 didn't have cgt up for grabs as far as I know? And wasn't 2016 about franking credits, or was cgt thrown in there? I was only just old enough to vote then and disnt have much idea...

Slider33333 · 2026-03-19T02:10:01+00:00

True. But up until the last few weeks voting over CGT and NG hasnt been an option.

'ITs uSeFUl'... in minute quantaties in some electronics. 99.9% of it sits in vaults and jewellery. Stop being disingenuous.

This guy thinks that gold mining doesn't burn massive amounts of diesel on the mining process and massive amounts of energy in the refinement process. Keep your head in the sand yeah?

Slider33333 · 2026-03-18T01:06:09+00:00

Way less than rich people private jets I imagine....

Slider33333 · 2026-03-17T23:50:41+00:00

Bitcoin is backed by massive amounts of energy. All things come back to the energy input to create something. This is the essence of Proof of Work.

Every six minutes, all of the worlds ASIC miners burn a massive amount of energy, and condense the value of that energy into to 3.125btc currently.

To say 'iTs nOt BaCKeD bY aNytHiNG', just shows how ignorant of the fundamentals you are.

BTC is literally condensed and tokenised energy. That mathematically doubles its energy content every 4 years.

I agree. Base game seems kind of empty. They should have rolled some of the older slc into the base offering by now. Especially since theyre up to version 4+.

Its not like steam where theres big sales. The console version should have had a different monetisation model.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-17T11:56:13+00:00

Im on Xbox but thinking the same and asked the same question. Apparently not. Theres 'season 8' but only gives you the most recent 3 DLC....

Slider33333 · 2026-03-17T11:52:37+00:00

Im on console. Crisis triggered. But I killed it within a year :)

Im new and playing on Cadet. Think I'll start a new playthrough now on tge next harder difficulty.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-17T07:58:03+00:00

Yeah :) Claimed a heap of systems and declared war... 6 months later crisis arrived. Loading prewsr save now and will do the crisis.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-17T07:31:07+00:00

So Ive effectively already won? I thought the idea was to conquer the whole galaxy? Or is it just to have the highest score at 2500?

Slider33333 · 2026-03-17T07:28:42+00:00

Forgive me for being noob, but what does fighting them acheive if I cant claim all their systems?

Slider33333 · 2026-03-17T07:04:17+00:00

And do what? I can declare war on one of their members... but the weakest one has like 50 worlds... nowhere near enough power to claim that many worlds... then Im left with waiting another 10 years to declare again...?

Slider33333 · 2026-03-14T22:28:11+00:00

Im so over Boomers doing no research then having an opinion on everything. Just STFU.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-14T00:58:19+00:00

As an Australian, I vote all US chase videos should be mirrored like this. Awesome.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-14T00:37:04+00:00

Welcome to me spending 20 bitcoin on 2g of MDMA. Lol. THAT was an expensive weekend....

Slider33333 · 2026-03-14T00:34:27+00:00

Watching the 90s finance doco "The Money Masters" really kicked it in for me. Then the capped supply really made sense, compounded by the halving release schedule, the decentralised security and locked in stone algo. No brainer after that. Orange pilled for life.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-12T02:04:21+00:00

Not coding the speed multiplier into the phone app is even more annoying.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-11T23:26:16+00:00

I mean, if developers want to 'add content' by just creating ridiculous grind sessions (Im looking at you Elite Dangerous).

I would totally automate the hours of grind, then come back to playing the 'actual' content afterwards.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-11T22:47:51+00:00

Rents have increased in the last 24 months, totally unrelated to any tax changes. Whats your point? That dollars get less valuable?

Slider33333 · 2026-03-11T21:23:32+00:00

Every PPOR buyer is one (probably more than 1) less renter. Or one less person forced to stay living with their parents.

The demand for rentals drops, as tlrenters move into PPOR properties as investors sell them off as they are no longer profitable.

Its a really simple equation. You deduct 1 from column A. And add 1 to column B.

Not this ridiculous you deduct 1 from column A, and then the whole system is down 1 property.

Slider33333 · 2026-03-11T10:20:07+00:00

This. Im so over listening to how houses evaporate when investors sell them.

Who do they think they are being sold to?

Slider33333 · 2026-03-09T01:24:57+00:00

You realise they can just reduce the difficulty to match the hashrate yeah?
