![]() You can choose to assign them an Envoy, on either the "Diplomacy" screen, to improve relations, or the "Espionage" screen, to spy on them. This will keep them from barging through your roadblocks and colonizing your space. Examine them, choose "Diplomacy" and "Close Borders" to them. Now, you can find them, near the top of the menu that lines the left side of your screen, named "Contacts". Eventually, they will make contact and learn their real names. (If you loose that screen, you can find it in the "Situation" screen, in the menu at left edge of the screen.) Later, they will popup, a few times, to give status updates. After you dismiss it, open it again, and click to recruit, or assign, an envoy to study the mysterious darlings. When you do meet a new civilization, you will get a popup screen. Spread those elbows out! Fill in your gaps, later. So, don't waste time studying anomalies with your SCIs, while your CONs remain idle. The more systems and resources (minerals, research stations, etc) you control, early, the better off you will be, when things get tight. The important thing is to expand, as fast as you can, carving out as much territory, as possible, without them penning you in. You can always return, later, to colonize those systems. Try to carve out groups of star systems that they cannot reach, by blocking the chokepoints. (Later, you may learn the FTL jump capability, which lets you jump systems, but at a cost.) So, if you quickly colonize (build a starbase) in a system that cuts off your competitor, definitely do that. You will notice that your ships can only travel on the lines between systems (hyperlanes). As you go along, you will meet other civilizations doing their own expansion thing. But, you will learn technologies, later on, that let you terraform some of them into habitable worlds.Ĭontinue expanding, as fast as you can, giving priority to any systems with inhabitable worlds. Not all planets are habitable, early in the game. ![]() You will get an announcement when it is finished colonizing, and you can then return to that planet's Planetary Management screen to choose its options (see Colorsfade's Planetary Management vid, for details). Click the "Colonize" button, select a race (your own, usually), and it will automatically build a Colony ship, at the nearest starbase, travel to that habitable world, and begin colonization. If a system has a habitable world, you click on it, to view the Planetary Management screen. They live, level up, die, and need to be replaced, many times, in the length of a game. Science Officers are one of many types of Leaders in the game (Governors, Admirals, Generals, Envoys). Remember to recruit a Science Officer, for each new SCI, or the ship won't survey, or study anomalies. Then I build one, or two, additional SCI, to handle anomalies. This slows down your expansion, so what I do is build a second set of SCI and CON, right away, and send them in another direction. ![]() SCI may also find anomalies, which take time to study. Usually, this keeps your CON busy while your SCI moves on to survey the next system. Following that, you continue using the CON to build mining and research stations, if available in that system. The early gameplay is pretty enjoyable, as you first survey star systems, with a Science ship (I will abbreviate this as SCI), then build a starbase, with your Construction ship (CON). Shout out to all the authors! And, thank you, for taking the time to share your knowledge with us noobs. For most other basic concepts, I liked "Beginner's guide to Stellaris By Obsidian Shadow". ![]() Look for what he calls "Load Outs", for each ship type, for each phase of the game (early, mid-to-late). On Steam, most guides are really old, but I liked "Ship Equipment & Load Outs - Patch 2.2 compatible By SteveRaptor". It may be your earliest, bitterest frustration with Stellaris, if you don't understand the various war types, and their consequences. You'll quickly find out that starting a war is one thing - being awarded the hard-fought territory, even after you win it, is quite another. Pay special attention to the part, in the War vid, where he explains how to use Vassalization. His vids on War and Planetary Management are superb! Some screenshots look a little strange, since they were made with earlier versions, but the concepts he outlines are gold. There is also a link for this, within the game (bottom of screen, somewhere) but, yeah.Īnyways, there are also some, slightly dated, Youtube videos that helped me learn some basic concepts. God knows why they feel the need to track you. But, be prepared to allow them to track you with evil cookies, or they won't let you view it. You can run out to the official Stellaris Wiki (), for help.
