how to play stellaris without a scroll wheel

yay, my first civ contact are a race of spiritualist authoritarians to my galactic north! On the upside they're also pacifists and gave me a diplomatic bribe already, so hopefully I can make friends with them or at least not need to worry about going to war.įirst playthrough is going pretty well, although the new trade system needs a bit of fiddling around with by the player to get, because it isn't entirely intuitive at first glance. If nothing else its a lot easier to see how specialised planets can become priority targets in wartime, though how much that will actually effect the gameplay has yet to be seen.Īnyway I went for a good old UNE run for my first game, and. and so far I really like it! Shifting all ship production over to require alloys, which in turn require specialised buildings on your planets to provide jobs that turn minerals into said alloys, is a change that I suspect will have long-term consequences for the game. not ideal, but I guess I can go and get a cheap plug-in mouse tomorrow.Īnyway, about 90 minutes into my first 2.2 game, and indeed my first Stellaris game in at least six months. Yeah as far as I can tell poking around Stellaris literally doesn't have a way to zoom in and out if you don't have a mouse. Once you get robbuts it's a little easier I guess but still annoying af trying to unlock the next building slot because suddenly you need more everything. And then your colony has -50% base growth speed because its a 'new colony'. And as soon as you got a new colony? Kiss your growth speed goodbye as 33-50% of it is gone due to emigration. Even with rapid breeding, genome mapping, fuck faster decision (on planet), eat more policy, it took forever for pops to grow (that's +10, +10, +25, +10= +55% growth speed). I wish it didn't take so damn long for pops to grow.

The credits and unity cost increase I can deal with but the tech cost sucked.īuildings.hmm. Minerals were capped out a good deal of the time too, only when I wasn't building more mining stations.īeing over admincap constantly was zzzzz eating the tech penalty was annoying. like seriously 108 trade production from starbases and my capital and I had multiple habitable (60-80% rating) planets around my start. My thoughts and opinions (I played egalitarian/materialist corp, he played spiritualist/something): I was shitting out credits constantly. Me and played a multiplayer game for a few hours last night.
