Stellaris FAQ

Q- How do I deal with sectors?
A- Develop your planets before putting them in sectors, and make sure sectors are not allowed to develop, otherwise they'll replace your buildings. Or use a mod that raise your planet cap to 99.

Q - What's better?
A - Hyperlanes, but only if everyone use it.

Q - I received a signal coming from outside the galaxy!
A - Save.

Q - What are the different covenants with the Shroud?
A - The Whispers in the Void gives research boosts but fucks your leaders up. The Instrument of Desire gives I think +30% to energy and minerals but make your species decadent. The Eater of Worlds gives around +33% fire rate and +33% army damage but in exchange he will eat your people. The End of the Cycle gives you all the bonus, but after 50 years, he'll fuck you up.

Q - Why can't I...
A - Because Paradox. Either it'll be implemented in a later expansion (for a hefty price), or you'll have to mod it.

Q - Are slaves worth it?
A - Mostly for roleplay purpose, otherwise you can just have robots.

Q - Is [something] worth it?
A - Most things in Stellaris are only interesting for roleplay purpose because the game is unbalanced as fuck.

Q - Missiles, lasers or kinetic?
A - Missiles in early game, kinetic in late game. Might depends from the situation.

Q - How's Hive Mind?
A - Basically easy mode.

Q - Is piracy frowned upon?
A - A bit. It's usually considered acceptable to buy the game but pirate the DLCs.

Q - Rate my species!
A - No, fuck off.

Q - Rate my blob!
A - No, fuck off.

Q - Rate my mod!
A - Post a link to it.

Q - Fucking ayyys they're space niggers.
A - /gsg/ called, they want their kids back.

Q - What does "respectfully disagree" means?
A - It comes from the Paradox Forum.

Q - What with that spider?
A - It's an meme, don't question it. Still fun to piss people off.

Q - Isn't Stellaris a Grand Strategy game?
A - /gsg/ says no, and we tried arguing with them. They just did the internet equivalent of autistically yelling really loudly until we gave up, so Stellaris is a 4x. Don't question it.
