10 Early Game Tips You NEED To Know

AT 40K SUBS I WILL GET EVERY ACHIEVEMENT IN STELLARIS

I have been using the recommended values for monthly trades but the price still goes up the only time I can get it do not go up as if I trade for much smaller quantities on a monthly basis any idea what's going on ?

I saw those monthly trade values on the wiki but all the guides say differnet values. Why do experienced players say 52 minerals is the max not 42 as the wiki does?

in early versions you need science ship to explore galaxy, right now you can do that with combat fleet with admiral, so you can explore and survey at the same time

ngl they should remove that event where hostiles spawn in your empire i know noone who doesn't start a new game when they get that xD

Can you cover Supremacy first with the idea of tributarying your neighbors, over Prosperity? Been my go to strat lately because I got sick of being invaded before I could take off with prosperity or discovery, and the resources from tribute helps to offset the economic losses.

With regards to traditions I always go Discovery first because it gives you the cheap edict Map the Stars which increases survey speed but also your anomaly discovery chance. Those anomalies tend to give bonus resources to that system as well as other goodies so you want to have it on early to make the systems near to your capital (that you are going to be surveying first obviously) that much better. Prosperity is definitely also good but it stays good if you take it later while Discovery gets less to if taken later on as you don't get as much use out of Map the Stars.

I use surveying over exploring because knowing that a planet is X systems away doesn't do me any good if I need to catch up with my construction ship anyways.

For me the speed of the construction ships matters more because I often find myself lagging behind with them anyways.

Military ships will only auto-engage enemies if they're in weapons range. Because of this, before I use them to scout I make sure the one default missile weapon is changed to a laser (or other shorter-range weapon). If you have auto-pause on contact enabled, you can often retreat from encounters before any shooting starts. You could remove all weapons too, but recent updates ensure that you won't recover the alloy costs, so I always keep the weapons.

I'd love more informational videos like this, early game is where I struggle the hardest

Great video! 5000 hours and I still picked up things.

For the bloody algorithm

Hydroponic? Not hydroPHONIC? When did that heppen?

Moar tips !

If you pick Sol as your capital system, then Sirius and Alpha Centauri will always contain your guaranteed habitable planets

If you start on a ring world, the default will be your species preference

High quality as always, glad to see that you are editing differently, very fresh!

Suggestion: play a post apocalyptic empire with inward perfection and relentless induastrialists, you dont want to talk to anyone. You just wanna make some tomb worlds

There should be tier list for certain jobs. Like Colonists are absolutely useless workplace. I guess that Montu did not do it for years.

The real advice is to set guaranteed habitables to 0, hyperlane density to 0.5, and turn off l-gates, wormholes, gateways, and xeno compatibility so that your potato of a computer can run at more than 1 tick per second in the lategame

Hey Ep3o, great video! Could you make that video about tips for planets?

Nooo, now pvp will be harder

Trusting Ep3o is a huge mistake

I was just watching your last utopia video. Keep up the good work, man!

third

Hydrobays are useless. Just make a food world and be the breadbasket for your friends

Let me survey in peace 🙁
