Stellaris - Shattered Ring Origin Mechanics (Oh God, it's So Powerful) 

That is useful

Same thing happened to me with relic world start

@@zyaggho9185 no that is quite the opposite of useful, tomb world habitability is the entire reason you would do that chain Innate tomb world habitability is absolutely broken on a normal empire

so the dlc is broken on release? Not surprised.

@@KitKatHexe I think he meant it's useful to know that so you don't make that mistake

"Linger for a while"

ULTIMATE POWERRRR

Spoiler alert : he is secretly the Worm and he loves us

"Boon bestowed"

bruh

The minerals come from the interloper, not the ring itself

Must have been from the console era...yikes (console player making this comment)

@@johnthemoon1098 luckily we have 2.2 now

Hahahaha gave me a good chuckle.

Was thinking the same

Just moving a planet and some debris, it’s not like you can just remove all the planets in a system by building a ring world

realistic clearing debris could open up a hole in the system, starving everyone of oxygen, could break one wall and everyone dies

@@myers4924 Depends on what side of the ring it hole is located. If it is on the inner side they should be fine since the centrifugal force is acting like gravity and keeping everything inside. While if it is on the outerside. Yea things would be ugly.

Maybe is like retaking a game With an advance progress. It's easy to just start again rater than remember al the mecanics, controls and how it works

Yo dawg. I herd u liek Ringworlds. So we gave you a Ringworld for that Ringworld and one more just for the sake of it.

Sweet Jesus

you, get a ringworld, you get a ringworld, everyone gets a ringworld (pls tell me you built one yourself aswell just for the heck of it?)

Stellaris: i heard you like giant space rings, enjoy

“We didn’t realize we’d settled on Leviathan’s onion rings until it was too late.”

Goddammit, it's the Prophet of Regret again...

"you must be silenced"

It just keeps repeating. Regret, regret, regret. What do you think it means?

@@PrismaMirage Dear Humanity, we regret being alien bastards, we regret coming to Earth, and we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy ass fleet!

whenever i play sins of the prophets ringworld is the best

Terminus would have been SO much cooler as a ringworld. XD

Pretty sure this origin draws direct influence from Larry Niven's Ringworld, where an interloper pierced the titular ringworld and the ensuing chaos sent the advanced people inhabiting it back into the stone age. This race never managed to advance past the stone age after the calamity because they had lost art of metallurgy and the ringworld (being an artificially constructed habitat) obviously had no minerals to mine.

@@FreedomAttacker1 Fist Of God's impact occurred way after the fall of the Ringworld civilization though. Thats why they failed to stop it. The civilization fell because the Puppeteers are assholes that introduced a bacteria that rotted the antigravity mechanisms or something, to destroy the strong civilization that controlled like 1% of the ring, because they could be a danger for them. After the founders just eek out in the ruins, or flee the ring by retrofitting the attitude jets into ships, thus leaving the ring at risk of 'falling' into the star.

​@@Runetrantor Niven didn't write Ringworld until 1970. Thirty years after foundation was first published.

@@matthewmcneany Im aware yes. Though it IS fair to say this origin is much more related to Niven's ringworld than to foundation's Terminus. Though I get where you come from about the similarities. If anything if I had to make a Foundation empire for Stellaris I would use the remnant origin, to show how they had little to work with, but had the wealth of knowledge from the now dead empire.

Same here, playing as Driven Assimilators, I was able to bully the entire galaxy into making me the only permanent member of the council after 100 years

@@JonThomas92 Honestly, I don't think making yourself a permanent council member is all that important. Just be ahead of the curve and you're already a permenent council member.

@@OzixiThrill but it's cooler to have one permanent site. Specially when you set the senate size to one. "I am the senate"

@@thefallendeathlord7690 I mean, I already AM the senate by virtue of me being too powerful for everyone combined to outvote me.

They should at least give the species gaia preference

was there a machine fallen empire nearby too?

@@Hunter-ze3my I got one of those, gonna end up with 5 ringwords

There is also the birch world who is insane and game destroying in this mod. Last game I had a 130k production of energy and mineral per month on the birch world

@@Mger47TheGamePegasus I'm at 4 Ring worlds right now. Got 3 ringworlds from a fallen empire nearby + 2 relic worlds in my starting area XD

@@Hunter-ze3my not nearby, but I haven't explored the whole galaxy yet.

Lol

That would give me a seizure if I saw that

Ok Boomer

@@X3105i Ok Zoomer

My most op play throo was I started on a Gaia world and found and found 2 more within 7 jumps from my home system

If you go the habitat start with authoritarian it becomes quite easy if you have a pre space civilisation near you to start going super fast with expanding especially if you can find two or more by chance. You can basically curveball after a few years and start building a lot of habitats after that point.

But pre space civilisation are fairly rare. That's like saying "you get powerful if you get a free Gaia"...

3x pop growth right of the bat. habitat are sweet.

@@Alphenis you can change that before you start the game though.

I was also looking forward to Habitats, but my biggest disappointment with the DLC came immediately after I started the game because it doesn't allow you to have the origin with a gestalt conciousness. No Void Dweller Rogue Servitors. Sad.

It is time. (in about 7 minutes.)

RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT'S DONE

Be careful. Research district cost a MASSIVE amount of consumer goods (or minerals if you are a machine empire). You can rush the research district fairly fast (10 years top - you need 500 energy and 1600 minerals), but you cannot sustain 20 researchers in the early game.

@@Alphenis Since the shattered ring start gives you the materials to build one of each district when you clear the blockers (the gas/motes/shards) you can build the research then build the trade district for 5 more artisans. Either way, the most important note is just before a district completes, go to population and lower the related job/s by 1 so the amount employed is locked in. Otherwise all 20 of your farmers will promote away immediately and not go back. Since you're doing that anyway, it's easy to balance to how much consumer goods you have by slowly feeding in more scientists or artisans. Also, since you're science rushing to get to mega engineering you can afford to let your alloys lag for a while and take consumer focus in addition to consumer benefit trade.

Functional Architecture is absolutely broken with this start too... If you roll governer + ruler skills that reduce building cost you can start both a research and commercial segment extremely early

@@Alphenis Machine Empires use energy for research

@@Alphenis you can if you go heavy on trading. Took me a while to stabilize but all the while I had crazy research from the start.

you may be able to fix it with the gigastructures mod

Remnants is for you, then. Start with a Relic World to upgrade into one.

Imo you should be able to mine it to nothing and rebuild the section

Build a habitat just for the purposes of mining and refining.

1. seems like a bug, maybe it isn't playing well with robots, 2 and 3 seem reasonable.

@@Nukestarmaster 1 is intended. It can power 1 of every type of district. The rest you need to do yourself.

Shattered Toilet Bowl Stellaris Any% Speedrun

I mean at this point might aswell use console command

I think there is a halo book like that

They would realize at some early point that their world is actually flat.

@@meneither3834 the Egyptian-eqivalent civilization would find this out incredibly early on.

Last Exile is an anime that takes place on an artificial world, although it takes some time to find out.

I'm playing a xeno-friendly empire on only ring worlds as a "challenge" and I'm so far ahead of the galaxy it's crazy.

"UNLIMITED POWER!!!!"

And have the Crybrex precursor, and the Fallen Robot Empire with their four ring world empire

Are the gigastructure mods updated to federations yet?

@@juliankirby9880 yes it goes up to 2.7 and is in a 2.6 modpack that is epic that is known as stellaris reborn II

Oof

@@A_Spec Having on 7 Ringworld Segments 1500 Pops is nice to say the least, especially with Utopian abundance finaced by this beautiful Trade League policy.

Been playing a multiplayer game with my housemate who is Lithoid with calamitous origin. His pop counts are larger than mine and he expanded insanely fast. Digging up pops significanty improves upon the lithoids horrendous growth speed, especially when you combine that with Mastery of Nature ascension and volatile motes secretions allowing you to have cheap/free volatile land clearance edict. IIRC it cost him about 125 minerals and a couple months to dig up a pop.

I'd say food is the easiest, but your point stands regardless.

@@alphariusfuze8089 he wants a white hole

@@gamesandglory1648 how bout a Grey hole.

Fair

Problem is, it removes any challenge the game has from what I've heard

@@moekitsune then don't play with it

@Nunsuch the risk is multiplayer. Means everyone will run this and not doing it will just hurt yourself

I personally don't mind that it makes it too easy, but "just don't play with it then" is not a reasonable response. What about the challenge-loving people who also want the coolness factor of starting on a ring? Giving a ringworld preference to your species is, in my opinion, a great idea.

@@Hughmong_Us fair enough (I was a bit anger rant. Sorry for that. I did change my original post after reading it again) but there is a big problem for that. Anyone who chooses the ring world start will be doing the one planet challenge until mid to late game. Also you wouldnt be able to farm mineral from planets earily on.

I will do a tier-list / round up when I've done the key ones.

@@A_Spec super, cant wait :)

Yes, normal worker will become specialists when they can. So if 20 jobs become available that are researchers then those farmers and energy people will try to move to those jobs.

To explain the other half, the consumer goods loss came from the upkeep of researcher jobs.
