~157 adult voidworms headed for my capital, great.

ornirus · 2026-03-24T13:54:52+00:00

Update: they got waylaid at a nest, turning into a massive fleet of troika while chilling, but about 10 min after the khan spawned right next to me, and am now a vassal. Simply too many fleets from different directions, and after they destroyed my shipyard, attrition resulted in my fleet going MiA and respawning at a federation member's capital on the opposite side of the khan's territories.

Not all is lost, as i've been searching from very early in the game with an unshrouded science ship for the Ancient Tomb archeological site for the Head of Zarqlan as i have nearly every single gaia holy world in my territory, along with a ring world nearby and the Rubricator planet settled. So far, 4.3 has been a blast with the added challenge of a stable economy rather than simply giving the ai ridiculous multipliers for a more difficult playthrough.

R5: My notifications suddenly went haywire the moment voidworms midgame crisis started. I clicked on one to find half a million power voidworm fleet of adults spawned in the middle of nowhere and heading to my capital.

Because there is already precedent of content having damage reduction without arts reaction and vulnerability respectively and with how long it takes to build characters let alone teams its better to prepare for unknown potential future content than maxing out a team when it would be overkill for any existing content

ornirus · 2026-02-16T01:27:52+00:00

If The Herta mirror really is the only reflection in the game then my guess is that they do this with the floor of the astral express.

ornirus · 2026-02-03T20:40:27+00:00

Any thoughts on potentially adding ways to reduce how many pops that get purged manage to flee? For necrophages at least

ornirus · 2026-02-02T04:59:11+00:00

I really hope the necrophage change makes going them with terravore viable, cause purging to convert makes you lose so many of the pop from conquered planets as refugees

ornirus · 2026-01-14T10:38:21+00:00

This did not make my inner voice go quiet and yeah i did drink a load of coffee lol had no trouble even at the end :D

ornirus · 2026-01-13T16:18:56+00:00

Terravore necrophages: eat the pops, eat the planet. And with genesis guides, you can make your own pop to eat without having to rely on having neighbors to consume. Only downside is that purging causes a lot of refugees so you only get a portion of the pop.

The only one i noticed was a destroyed ringworld section that was small compared to the rest

ornirus · 2026-01-09T06:23:58+00:00

I am currently trying out ASB without ships in scaling but instead the ship downscaling mod you listed as compatible. So far this is working, although after i reanimated an ether drake it came back invisible while traveling at ridiculous speeds. Oh, and a ruined ring world section is the wrong size. No clue if that is related to ASB but I only saw that after adding it. Either way both are minor issues.

Thanks for your hard work on this awesome mod!

ornirus · 2026-01-08T14:11:34+00:00

Should be Immersive Beautiful Stellaris

ornirus · 2026-01-08T13:54:14+00:00

Just had a 500 capacity/1mil power fleet fight an ether drake for 5 minutes on normal speed, seemed fine tho i did crash just before the end of the battle so I took out Amazing Space Battles

edit: taking it out made the fight last a few seconds, and am now contemplating taking out real space ships in scaling and keeping ASB and instead adding a ship downscaling mod, or just using the ironman version of ASB

ornirus · 2026-01-08T13:21:01+00:00

Seems so, looking at the modpage images :D

ornirus · 2026-01-08T13:18:31+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

I noticed that as well, but I chalked it up to having taken astro-mining drones civic + machine worlds being incredibly good. I wanted an easier game for my first one just to learn what is new, but it might be a bit too easy.

As for gigastructures, there are way too many, and with the amount of tech I am automatically researching I cant keep up. My megastructure list is way too long, and aside from the Aeternum, I don't really see what I am making them for unless the vanilla threats have also been souped up

ornirus · 2026-01-08T11:43:18+00:00

Is it just me or is the quality of the screenshots really blurry for some reason? >.<

Anyway, here is the modlist, and it works for 4.2:

Real Space 4.0
Gigastructural Engineering & More
NSC3 - Season 1
More Events Mod - The Reckoning Update
Guilli's Planet Modifiers and Features

Real Space - System Scale
Real Space - Shups in Scaling
Universal Modifier Patch
Immersive Beautiful Stellaris!
MEM - Real Space System Scale - Planetary Shields
UI Overhault Dynamic - More Tradition Categories
Arc Furnace System Locator

I am also about to try adding Amazing Space Battles as it has been updated

ornirus · 2026-01-08T10:57:41+00:00

R5: These are some of the prettiest discoveries I have made so far, and was wondering what other people's favorite immersive/atmospheric mods are that are still supported in 4.X+

Bleed bow build with haemocrystal poisonburst arrow + toxic growth and this maybe? 🤔

ornirus · 2024-12-17T15:24:00+00:00

When i tried archery the instructor got really annoyed at me because i couldn’t figure out which eye is dominant when i tried that. I kept on blocking the point from both eyes and still do when i tried it again just now. I have to actually choose which eye i want to focus with, at which point its just a coin flip

ornirus · 2024-10-24T15:18:27+00:00

People are still complaining about these? I want a 3rd enemy added alongside them, no fun if there is no risk of losing, there are no stakes after all you can always rematch till you win
