[p][/p][p]by MrFreake_PDX[/p][p][/p][p]Hello everyone![/p][p][/p][p]We’re now less than a week away from the release of #MODJAM2025 on July 29th! Testing is still ongoing on the Stellaris Official Discord, so if you want to help out, there’s still time![/p][p][/p][p]We want to thank everyone who has shown up and tested so far, having extra eyes on a project is extremely helpful, especially when working with tight deadlines like in a mod jam. This week we have five more crisis paths to highlight today, and there will be one more additional highlight next week. The modders involved have all done fantastic work, and we can’t wait to get their crisis paths into your (obviously benevolent) hands.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]The Phoenix Protocol involves your empire discovering their heritage as a great power, with the goal of restoring their people to their former glory.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about their inspiration, Bee’s Knees had this to say:[/p][p]“The idea of restoring the glory of a former empire was a scaled-down version of an original idea I had to allow players to play as a fallen empire.[/p][p][/p][p]*Very* loosely, the devolution idea came from a creative repurposing of a Marvel movie quote (""I will burn them out of time"")."[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]Theophany the story of your empire’s slow descent into madness after it finds a weak and fragile deity in the shroud.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about the inspiration for their submission, the derega, Tree and Malthus said:[/p][p]“We like the idea of the shroud like many others which is why our's is probably shroud crisis #10 or so. In vanilla Stellaris we kind of missed the opportunity for the player to get or create their own customized shroud entity to worship instead of just being a mere follower to the established four big ones.”[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]In the Dreaming Deep crisis path you will work your way into other empire’s dreams while exploring the deeper meaning of your own.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about the inspiration behind Dreaming Deep, the Nuadha said this:[/p][p]“A combination of the game Cultist Simulator, the idea of finding physical meaning through dreams, and the unpublished works of H P Lovecraft.”[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]Whispers in the Weave is a story-based crisis path revolving around ancient whispers echoing between the stars.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Evereal and Kalisalos had this to say about the inspiration for Whispers in the Weave:[/p][p]“Whispers in the Weave is a crisis that touches on several themes of eldritch horror - of the great unknown that dwells beyond, of those elements that we do not and could never understand. A whisper in the night could be anything. A threat. A secret. A promise.[/p][p][/p][p]Folding in concepts of dreams, thoughts, sound, and obsession, we thus ask you... What, truly, lies beyond our comprehension?”[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]The Architect of Ruin will offer its services to you in exchange for simple requests, granting boons and gifts, while taking the minds of your people.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about the inspiration behind the Architect of Ruin, the MadeinCanada had this to say:[/p][p]“The first part of the Architect of Ruin that came to me were the mechanics, namely the Satisfaction mechanic, where the crisis objectives mainly focus on completing more and larger tasks to keep the entity's Satisfaction in the positive to gain bonuses and avoid punishments, but of course these would become harder and harder to complete, so you need to strategise what to do and how![/p][p][/p][p]From there, other mechanics like the megastructures, jobs, subject, factions and more came pretty naturally into the base theme of having to satisfy this powerful being. In terms of flavour and lore, leaning into the eldritch aspect of Stellaris was obvious to me, especially since it's not much explored outside of the Shroud, and especially not for Become the Crisis paths!”[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]That’s it for today folks! We'll be back on Thursday of next week with our final submission highlight. #MODJAM2025 will release on Tuesday, July 29th, and you can subscribe to #MODJAM2025 early so you can get it as soon as it becomes available![/p]

[p][/p][p]by MrFreake_PDX[/p][p][/p][p]Hello Stellaris Community![/p][p][/p][p]Today is the end of working time for the modders participating in #MODJAM2025! The modders now have 10 days to test and polish their submissions before the modjam releases on July 29th. We’re expecting between 15 and 20 new modded player crisis paths for you to enjoy. If you’re interested in helping test the modder’s submissions, join us on discord and get the tester role in the #help-test-modjam channel.[/p][p][/p][p]We brought in Michael~ to create videos to highlight the modder’s submissions on YouTube as well:[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Be sure to subscribe to Michael~ on YouTube to get more content about Stellaris Mods![/p][p][/p][p]Our first highlight is by Greendog, is a diplomatic focused crisis that wishes to take over the galaxy, believing themselves to be as gods compared to the other empires.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about their inspiration, Greendog said this submission was loosely inspired by the Galactic Empire and the Imperium of Man. Can’t say they don’t know their audience.[/p][p][/p][p]—-[/p][p][/p][p]Our next submission, created by Jin2188 and The_Wandering_Modder, takes you on a journey across Branchial Space, where infinite universes entangle in a vast web of endless possibilities.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about the inspiration behind The Branchial Weaver, they said this:[/p][p]“After the last ModJam, I joined up with a few other modders to try and create a big "Crisis Expansion" mod, that would have a crisis path for each vanilla ethic, with the crisis for the Pacifist ethic involving time travel and rewriting history. The project never really came to fruition, but the core ideas were still there. When expanding upon this idea for this ModJam, I was heavily inspired by a "theory of everything" making the rounds in physics recently. Stephen Wolfram, Jonathan Gorard, and several others have been working on what they call the Wolfram Physics Project, one of several attempts to find the "fundamental theory of physics". Its validity is debatable, but I found myself fascinated by it anyway. One of the really interesting things I found was the idea that general relativity (our current theory of gravity) and quantum mechanics are actually the same theory played out in different kinds of space. Quantum mechanics, in this framework, plays out in what Wolfram calls "branchial space", which is a sort of "space of spaces" where each element of the "space" represents a single quantum state of the universe. It's a bit complicated, but Wolfram tries to make it as simple as possible when communicating his theory to the public. He has a few "writings" where he describes aspects of his ideas in a somewhat simplified form for those who are interested in physics but don't want to be bombarded with math and technical jargon.[/p][p][/p][p]—[/p][p][/p][p]Our next submission, by Daniellm is a spiritual crisis path revolving around the Shroud.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about their inspiration, Daniellm said this:[/p][p]"I have always loved psionics and the shroud in stellaris. The shroud patrons and just generally the idea of this other dimension of pure energy not so far from ours.[/p][p][/p][p]Stellaris has never really tapped into the idea of shroud cults, the closest we come to this are the shroudwalkers. The idea of cults, and them spreading to different empires, all with the common goal of wanting to summon their god or gods into the universe is what started project divinity."[/p][p][/p][p]—-[/p][p][/p][p]Our next submission to highlight is by jam1066, is a mining focused crisis path, which gives you access to more extreme mining techniques as you progress further.[/p][p][/p][p]When asked about their inspiration for creating this crisis path, jam1066 had this to say:[/p][p]“I looked at what ships existed in the game but were inaccessible to the player and found the Mining Drones. This helped me decide the direction of the crisis path in being mining focused.”[/p][p][/p][p]—-[/p][p][/p][p]Our next submission by .wiirlak (with icons made by Oriya) revolves around terraforming planets into Bloom Worlds, making a haven for your people, and a nightmare for others.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about their inspiration, wiirlak simply said “Unlimited Growth”.[/p][p][/p][p]—-[/p][p][/p][p]Our final submission this week is by TheRingBearer, whose crisis path aims to create a perfect idyllic utopia, a society previously thought unobtainable.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When asked about their inspiration, this is what TheRingBearer had to say:[/p][p]“While I can point to a joke in the Modjam Discord to the inspiration of the theme. The driving inspiration was wanting a way to "win" that didn't necessarily involve conquering the galaxy as well as being a "well intentioned" Crisis. Utopia justifies the means.”[/p][p][/p][p]—-[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for reading![/p][p][/p][p]If you’re interested in helping the modders playtest their mods, join us on discord and press the button in the #help-test-modjam channel to unlock the testing channels! We’ll be back next week with more highlights from #MODJAM2025![/p]

[p]Hello, Stellaris community!

The Wilderness Open Beta has been updated again, with fixes to Workforce calculations, advanced and endgame AI plans, a fix to espionage, improvements to district tooltips, and more.

Here is a list of what we've changed:
[/p][h3]4.0.22-Wilderness Open Beta 2025-07-08 Update​[/h3][h3]Balance:​[/h3]

• [p]Substantially increased the base Command Limit of fleets and most sources of Command Limit. We know you were going to doomstack those fleets anyway. (This is secretly mostly for performance reasons, don't tell anyone.)[/p]

[h3]Bugfix:​[/h3]

• [p]Fixed Workforce calculations.[/p]
• [p]Fix to Neural Chips in the Synaptic Lathe not functioning properly.[/p]
• [p]Planetary Logistic Deficits slider should now correctly apply.[/p]
• [p]Erudite trait now correctly applies to Leaders when gained through Adaptive Evolution[/p]
• [p]Fixed certain events not correctly creating buildings when initializing planets or otherwise changing AI controlled worlds.[/p]
• [p]Fixes wilderness biomass not being updated when loading an older savegame[/p]
• [p]Open Beta Only: Spy Networks should once again grow properly.[/p]

[h3]AI:​[/h3]

• [p]Continued improving the AI's economic plans to be more effective.[/p]
• [p]AIs now have distinct advanced and endgame economic plans that focus largely on Research, Naval Capacity, and whatever it is they use to build ships.[/p]
• [p]The AI is less enthusiastic about building Storm related buildings.[/p]

[h3]UI:​[/h3]

• [p]Pop Strata with no possible unemployment (like Civilians) hide the Unemployment values in collapsed planet jobs view[/p]
• [p]Improved District tooltips:[/p]
  • [p]Hovering a district now shows the scaled and separated modifiers[/p]
  • [p]Hovering the build button shows the values for a single district (this is what you'll gain)[/p]
• [p]Instead of being essentially omnipresent, the orange briefcase in the outliner now indicates that you have 500 or more Civilians + Unemployed pops on the planet. (100+ Unemployed pops should still override it with the red briefcase.)[/p]

[h3]Stability​[/h3]

• [p]OOS fix related to bombardment and ground combat[/p]
• [p]Potential OOS fix related to Grand Archives[/p]

[h3]Modding:​[/h3]

  • [p]These changes are intended to prevent situations where some jobs would go unworked, make Wilderness less bug-prone, and are intended to give you more control over your economy in deficit situations. Please provide feedback![/p]
• [p]Grown pops now spawn in a default stratum and job (like “Civilian”) instead of being unemployed their parents' stratum[/p]
• [p]Planetary Automation no longer actively tries to keep some civilians around.[/p]

• [p]The AI should no longer occasionally just decide to stop building anything and wait for the sweet release of death.[/p]
• [p]Reduced the AI's love of hydroponic farms and other static job resource production buildings, and commercial nexuses.[/p]
• [p]AI is more likely to build Engineering, Physics, or Society Research modifying buildings if they have a specialization focusing on that research branch on the planet.[/p]
• [p]AI Shattered Ring empires will now actually clear their blockers to make use of their other habitable segments. They also favor the techs that are prerequisites for their shattered ring blockers.[/p]
• [p]AI Shattered Ring empires will wait a bit longer and space out their colonization of the other segments.[/p]
• [p]AI now has a better opinion of housing buildings and will not blow them up as often.[/p]
• [p]AI (and automatic tech selection in general) now more strongly favors techs that unlock District Specializations.[/p]
• [p]Reduced the "stickiness" of trade and urban designations on planets[/p]
