Lol, I fought an empire, I think it was determined exterminatora or something? Anyway, I forgot what they were, but I defeated them in such a way that they's beuild the mega shipyards near my territory, then I'd take that system. It happened a lot and I ended up with like +600% build speed JUST from them. I think that game ended with me having +2200% build speed (just from mega shipyards). Needless to say I could have a whole new fully stacked fleet really fast. I'll double check the exact number and edit my comment later.

A post Aetherophasic Engine galaxy would be interesting to play in, since everything is either a dead world or a black hole, forcing any surviving civilizations to go underground or to space, and Matter Decompressors would be seen as literally holy grails. Since now the Shroud is fused to the physical realm galaxy wide, psionic menaces will run rampant. Not to mention the civilization that activated said machine, now existing as pure psionic beings of the highest order, trying to be at the top of the pecking order in this new galaxy wide fused realm. Probably won't happen, but it could be a nice idea for those like difficulty on steroids challenges.

I will argue, that coordination center is better than everything. By the time you're building megastructure you're at naval cap. You already build all starbases, so comparing cost to them is kinda incorrect. Also you need to sink alloys somewhere after you build your navy. After that you build dyson sphere. More energy = more naval cap. If you aren't at naval cap: stop it, get some help, why are you considering megastructures in the first place. Not to mention - speeeeeeed, the most overpowered stat in meta warship builds, that often makes or breaks engagements.

bruuuuuuuh naw fam, that mod's wack....

I always build the Megashipyard, that +100% build speed is insane. Lets to a thesis about it. Lets say that it takes 10 days to make 1 corvette. 30 days to make 1 destroyer. 50 days to make 1 cruiser. 90 days to make 1 battlecruiser. 120 days to make 1 titan. With the Megashipyard, they suddenly become: 5 days per corvette. 15 days per destroyer. 25 days per cruiser. 45 days per battlecruiser. 60 days per titan. This applies to *all* shipyards, not just it. It practically makes it so you can make 2 per time, from every single shipyard you build (In literal sense, if you have 36 shipyards, they would be able to pump out 72 ships in the same time, as they would otherwise make 36 without the megashipyard). So a clear S tier for me. Ringworlds, they are good for a few things actually. With the higher amount of jobs, and housing it gives. You can use them to ease up on planets, and specialise them more. For example a hive mind, instead of using a hive world for food production. 1 ring Segment, can produce enough food for a hell of a lot more than that planet ever could. That means you can make a world the focuses on alloys, minerals, research, or energy. One segment can be used for housing, soldiers and dable in what you might need. Can even make it add to the administration limit, so it is less of a headache, while still adding to research. So yeah, they can be used for more than just research.

Wow that Quantum Catapult exploit is insane. I heard about the addition of a Fire Rate buff, never got the chance to use it in combat jump. But this def makes me want to try it.

Haven’t played Stellaris in half a year, now i apparently have to re-learn everything. Simply amazing, thank you Mr. Paradox

Love you strat glad to see you’re making more hilarious tier lists! You forgot one of the benefits of the megashipyard tho. If you’re gonna build titans for your fleets, it cuts down on the build time SO MUCH and honestly isn’t a bad place to solely build titans, battleships, and juggernauts exclusively and build all your other ships in normal shipyards. I wish they’d reduce the cost of ships built in the shipyard tho, which would definitely make it SSS tier

You got it all wrong. We don't build megastructures because they are cheap, efficient and fast to build. We build them precisely because they are ludicrously expensive, inefficient and take ages to finish. *laughs in gigastructural engineering*

Megastructures provide you resources without pops. It means you can build dyson sphere and move all your energy workers to produce alloys or research. Besides you unlock megastructures at the point where its not an issue to spend alloys (assuming your fleet is ok)

repairing a strategic coordination center, conquering one from an enemy, and building my own gave stupid buffs to my navy speed. Nothing could stop me, except that 25x crisis that i was dumb enough to turn on...

honistly i used the black hole mining mega structure, because i some how ended up in a situation where i am in the red for meterail, but have so so so many alloys.

the megashipyard is the best, the build speed is amazing, and it always can build anything so I dont have to get an aneurism trying to make citadels for titans. It also will completely carry you on long wars and hard fought crisis, as long as you can feed it. But unless you build weird, at some point you should be drowning in alloys and the main problem would be naval cap since soldier jobs kinda suck, so you could just throw ships into the meat grinder with the megashipyard

i've joked with my mp stellaris group a few times and just wished the matter decompressor would in addition to minerals also spit out some alloys and dark matter.

Mega shipyard fun fact: If you lose control of a starbase with all your shipyards, you can't build more ships. However, if you have an inhabited world in a system that, say, just so happens to be a fortress world and a mega shipyard in it, you can continue to spam fleets out of the mega shipyard, right into your enemies face, until they reduce your fortress worlds and take full control over the system.

I didn't even reach the point in the game where I could build a single megastructure but I know now what I wanted to build first

HE RETURNED!

SCC's extra defense platforms turn systems with orbital rings into monster fortresses

I don't really like Ringworlds because by the time you get them, chances are you will only research repeatables anyways, and they take ages to be set up. But there is one exception: as rouge servitor, they are a very good source of living space for your organics, and because you can easily get 3 mega structure buildslots you can always have 1 to 2 segments building at once. They might be the only reason I actually enjoy playing rouge servitors

i heard the ark menu music and though i was going insane and all of my dodos

Strategic Coordination Center is S Tier for me. Not because of cap, ship speed, or starbase cap, but because of defense platform cap. I like to go unyielding if I can get Zroni Precursor. Being able to make insanely powerful bastion choke point systems, that bring their own puslars to the fight, slows all ship movement, and does % based damage to enemy fleets each day they are in the system, then throwing absolutely insane numbers of ancient strike fighters at the enemy fleets from ranges much longer than the longest X-slot and Titan-slot weapons. They pretty much make it impossible to lose to the crisis. Just need a Strategic Coordination Center or two to help bolster those defense platform caps even higher for yet more strike fighter hangars. That +12 cap is boosted by 50% from the Unyielding tradition finisher.

You know I only started to watch some of your videos because I wanted to be up to date with the stellaris meta. But props to you you are actually a funny person

Planet min/max guide please! (Advanced tips only)

A lot of this goes out the window if you find a ruined megastructure you can repair. A repaired Matter Decompressor was the absolute bedrock of my economy in one game.

I’m sure this omission is intentional, but the one benefit of _all_ these megastructures that you glossed over is the fact that you’re essentially exchanging alloys for free pops every time an upgrade finishes. With the reworked pop growth, this is actually quite nice by the time you are able to build megastructures in the game as your pop growth has probably slowed to a glacial crawl.

How is the Science Nexus on the beta? It was one of the few sources of science that didn't get nerfed right?

ark background music goes crazy

Multiplayer scrubs when someone doesn't play optimized for a 100 year campaign and actually goes to "late game" 😰

its so uncanny for me to hear the ARK sound track while talking about stellaris, idk why

8:53 not to forget it slows down your computer significantly

Gigastructural Engineering, "imma slide in real quick"

I build most of them just when I'm eunning out of space for alloys lol

I never thought about how badly the megastructures need a rebalance. I barely ever bother to build anything "big" unless it is a mega shipyard or a ruined megastructure that I can cheaply build

I'll ask one thing. Just one thing. Is the megashipyard worth the ships by replenishing fleet losses on the management screen of this flotilla? Last time, the mega-shipyard did not build ships; the ships were ordered from a regular shipyard. This is a complete failure. So while this bug exists, it is by no means S tier.

I find Ringworlds still questionable, as they take so long to actually get up and running. The construction alone - three stages to get a colonizable object and then two years to colonize that object. And then you still have to get buildings up and pops there to work jobs. It doesn't feel worth it in the long run. Still, TIL I learned about the production buildings additional bonuses. As for the Matter Decompressor, I found one in a Devouring Swarms territory in my most recent game - combined with my own one it alleviated all my Alloys needs in the late mid game. While you can ascend planets, it's taking a long time, and in cases of Hive Minds and Machine Empires Unity is a luxury commodity that you don't have that much of and you don't get any Ecumenopolis, so you have to spread out your Alloy Production over several worlds - and usually, the ascending cost is astronomical after you ascended two or three planets. So getting a lot of free Minerals - 2000 Minerals is roughly 1 1/2 planets in the late game - is pretty nice. Btw: Even with the Capital Building Production Tech you mentioned, you can reduce upkeep down to ~500 Minerals for roughly 3000 Alloys. The Decompressor is creating Minerals out of thin air, so I'd take the extra Alloys here in exchange for nothing. And you don't necessarily have to fully upgrade it either, as it starts producing Minerals at the second stage already. As for the Interstellar Assembly, you have to take into account that the 150 Naval Capacity adds to your base naval cap - and thus it is subject to all percentage-based bonuses. In the late game you get a lot of those bonuses, from Council, GalCom, Traditions, Policies, Edicts and civics (in my current game I'm having a combined 150% in bonuses) - so it's something more in the ballpark of 400 Naval cap - combine it with the Starbases and it adds up to upwards of a 1000 Naval Cap. You gotta employ a lot of soldiers in order to get that much. If we talk economics, it's probably going to pay for itself after a few years. The Mega Art Installation is usually one of the last Megastructures I build - however, I find it useful to combat the issues of Amenities as Hives and Machine Empires, as they don't get Entertainers and thus have to rely on a large number of Maintenance Drones. Getting more drones into resource-creating jobs directly boosts production, especially when it comes to large, ascended planets where another district filled with Alloy-workers makes more difference than on a regular planet. As for biological empires, you are usually having your planets at or slightly above 50% stability. Since Amenities directly affect Happiness and Happiness directly affects Stability, I see it as a direct boost to production - even though I haven't done the Math on how much it affects production. On the Dyson Sphere I might also have a controversial opinion. It might be very powerful for biological empires; Hives and Machines however, with their infinite amount of Generator Districts on Hive/Machine Worlds and Generator Districts on Ring Worlds can produce up to 75% of a Dyson Spheres Output on a decently sized planet - fully ascended it might even be able to break even on larger ones and on Ring Worlds. I usually see it as a band-aid - when I'm mass-producing Alloys and the fleet numbers are pushing up fast it's something that organically increases Energy production of multiple stages, but it's not going to be the solution to the problem, only something that keeps you alive while developing other planets - terraforming Hive- and Machine Worlds, as well as constructing Ring Worlds takes a lot of time, while the Dyson starts to produce Energy rather quickly. Also, another downside of the Dyson is, that it is not affected by the Capacity Subsidies Edict, while job-based production is. Meanwhile, the Matter Decompressors production is affected; not by Mining Subsidies, but by Omnifarious Acquisition. For Hyper-Relais I also have to add something: I find them super useful to connect, for example, shipyards with your Gateways. While having Gateways everywhere would be better, it's quite helpful in the late-endgame and in the midgame, where you usually don't have the Alloys to make Gateways everywhere and don't have a Megashipyard yet. I tend to use the Relays to even connect Gateways at opposing ends of my Empire, because - and that's something you didn't mention - Gateways can be taken by the enemy when occupying a system as well. I'm not as experienced in Multiplayer, but I imagine Jumping on a Gateway to cut off enemy reinforcements is a relatively normal thing to do. Being able to retake the Gateway without spending two years in transit would probably be very helpful. Otherwise, great Tierlist. I kina agree with most of it.
