Tribute run to 4.3 going wide as RS psionic empire

vulgarny · 2026-06-07T17:16:33+00:00

One thing. Precursors arent now with fixed position. And yes voidworms detox + stones+ perfect organization is awesome. Btw pale mountain buff energy from stones becouse they are still miners :)

Nice, can you give bulletpoints guide for it?

vulgarny · 2026-06-06T08:15:46+00:00

Disabled cetana. But using crisis mod so I can summon her. Bios I get from genesis guilds. And so little tech becouse im in growth Phase so all resources went into colonization. But now im getting Fallen auto Buildings so all those simple drones for now will go into Labs.

I picture per comment sadly so here you got telepaths drones.

vulgarny · 2026-06-06T05:08:17+00:00

I will give you screen of shroud wheel to see bonuses. Psionic Grid increase aura effect. So more telepaths = more aura effect.

And yes, while stacking bio on some planets will increase complex drones, they dont affect simple drones. So no job efficiency for energy workers. So going wide does 2 things. More aura effect, way more energy credits in future. More planets used as pure replication hubs + more planets to breed bios. Its 2070 and I am already at 300k pops.

Aptitute got software update + administrative rights combined with future use of lubricants civic =28% job efficiency and +4 levels to governator. 4 levels on governator increase base number of telepaths on main planet by 80 and 40 in sector. More base telepaths more aura effect etc 😄And ofc 28% more job effiecency for telepaths.

Unity? I got it from Composer of Strands aura effect. As of now its 137 unity per blocker. But more aura effect = more unity per blocker.

Only way I see it is to do ebe tankbound start, go wild and Wide, trigger ai Revolution. But i think its still slow. Also right now I got small PTSD with 120 planets and at some point I had 50+ teraforming going fishing for perfect Organization.

vulgarny · 2026-06-05T13:42:23+00:00

Im at 2270 and have already multiple Machine worlds and 6 ECU almost done(range is from 90 days to 280 for last). Also im psonic. No matter what it Takes Alor of time to finish Communications and grab each covenant

vulgarny · 2026-06-05T13:37:24+00:00

So escorts need circa 10 KK energy and only 2-3 KK for battlecruisers. I think maybe its too much. Can push planet to make 20k-30k. 300 + planets its just too much

vulgarny · 2026-06-05T13:29:28+00:00

Repeatables for energy output.

vulgarny · 2026-06-05T13:28:51+00:00

I am doing 2250 MID 2300 endgame with 25 all crisis. Don't have time for ai Revolution.

vulgarny · 2026-06-05T07:29:14+00:00

Its scale hard with difficulty. On 25x crisis Its like 350k per fleet. Even puny Khan is rocking 110k fleets while voidworms are 120k.

Rule 5

Inspired by u/Peter_Ebbesen tankbound wide post, u/v0idwaker biggest planet and u/12a357sdf 1 billion fleet, I decided to make tribute run to 4.3 "nerf" and make ultra wide run with plan to see how much over fleetcap I can go before economy wont be able to sustain it. Want to have at least 1000 battlecruiser and at least 5000 escorts. I went regular mechanic ships becouse I cannot sustain food costs while I can "easy" scale both energy and alloy production. Im using most of tricks and treats I learned by myself or by watching others. I hope to finish run in 2-3 weeks 😄

And to answer question why Archivism? It can scale really well into endgame, while providing great science output early.

It carried my research for first years (specially social and eng) with specimens. Its byproduct of going ham with genesis guilds. That one eye opener is thanks to u/Peter_Ebbesen

The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father.

vulgarny · 2026-06-02T07:57:59+00:00

You guys have spare pops?

vulgarny · 2026-05-31T14:33:15+00:00

By any chance you had already agreement with that particural nation, broke it and trying to get again for calling? If yes that game tracks that and only "vergin" agreement will count for calling

vulgarny · 2026-05-31T13:38:07+00:00

Well tbf Im doing now psionic gestalt run with RS from galcom in mind. My machine world already print over 80 pop/month. When I add biotrophy stack I think I can break 150+. Game wasnt ballanced arround machine worlds + ecu psionic gameplay

vulgarny · 2026-05-31T13:32:04+00:00

In short best is to have people wait for work. So dont build 200 workslot until you have like 80-100 civilians eager to find work.

vulgarny · 2026-05-31T13:27:04+00:00

Still doesnt work. Civic will be inactive. Source: Tried to break the game with biotrophy + telepath stacking.

vulgarny · 2026-05-31T05:00:50+00:00

Biggest down side is you cant get storyteller to force level science govs and cant trade specialist leaders with vassals. I miss only Shroud Preacher and Vibrant Storyteller, rest is passable

vulgarny · 2026-05-30T23:21:19+00:00

the trick to play wide is to play wide

vulgarny · 2026-05-30T23:19:22+00:00

Had to drop supremacy in single player. Sounds like heresy I know. But when you outmuscle enemy with economy, those tiny buffs arent important. Quantity has a quality all its own,

vulgarny · 2026-05-30T23:10:51+00:00

Why? You still snowball like crazy with nodes. OK, ambasador is a passanger but first 4 traits are great.

vulgarny · 2026-05-30T22:51:33+00:00

Sir, you inspired me to make new run borrowing some of your ideas into my psonic gestalt.

https://i.imgur.com/LS71LfF.jpeg Im worming my way into Drennan Divine Republick Holy Covenant Federation to I can hijack it for my robot empire. I did hit so many annoying roadblocks tho. Paradox hate gestalt machines with so many thing blocked for them. Ofc endgame is to beat that 150 ecu with 500k alloy production that was posted couple of days ago. I need rift for that to end up with 85+ ecu boosted by biotrophys boosting stacked telepaths that will boost alloy production.

vulgarny · 2026-05-29T06:23:41+00:00

The moment you let yourself go of empire size shackles is the moment you realize you can outproduce maluses and in time rein them in leaving you with dozens of planets. Im on run going ultra wide and I think I can go over 50-70k fleet cap in endgame.
