Here's a playlist of all my 3.11 Stellaris tutorials! kzread.info/head/PLK9xgSZGwHOide8s11OQ3qP4HXKphiwhe Below are more tips submitted by you guys!: From @dominickfosco6374: - I missed research bonuses from non-starting relic worlds. The relic worlds you find (not starting worlds) have a central spire feature that once you clear gives a 15% bonus and 8 science jobs. Rubicator questline spawns you a relic world, and it's quite common. Just be sure not to do the archeology site on the planet till you have a large fleet in orbit. Turning it into an ecumenopolis will replace the spire with something else that reduce it to 10% bonus. From @markthompson6139: One thing not mentioned but one that is game breaking good, especially on higher tech cost games. Simply become the crisis. At level 5 you suddenly unlock a whole slew of techs, which if you started the crisis run by being an allow monke, allows you to eclipse neighbors without having too many researchers. Then proceed to murder them with techs you had no hope of researching in the first place you driven assimilator… From @Metalusko: Having Wenkwort Artem is the key to have best planet for tech. Get the double bonus, bonus for gaia world + bonus to tech from gardeners and wenkwort as default. Second best thing is to find Tiyana Vek and build habitat. There are 4 gas giants with research and having the habitat there is actualy giving you MASSIVE 12 slots of research stations. With the rest of the buildings as tech + amenities and the needed stuff its just bonkers technology "world". From @MarlKitsune: You DONT get veteran classes with out Paragons. Level 4 is just a level up that gives you a new random trait. From @benoithudson7235: Spam scholariums and connect the relay network. You get the +10% research from agreements only once, but you get +10% research from jobs per scholarium that's connected. If you have 5 scholariums connected on the relay network, you get +50% research from jobs. With Montu's trick of just being on the warpath all the time to ignore loyalty, you could theoretically have any number of scholariums. I once got to 50 of them... for +500% research from jobs. One thing about technocracy: you get an extra leader at the start. That means you can build a science ship immediately and 60 days later you have two researchers exploring (and you can send your minister of state to run the capital, fixing that annoying icon warning you there's an unemployed leader). Helps find the curators faster.

The reason why most veteran players put their research buildings on their capital world is because back in older versions of the game, capital worlds provided a small bonus to research speed. They don’t anymore, but back then that was one of the only ways to boost research speed. Either way capital worlds are the best places to put down research buildings, and obviously the only place to put them in the very early game.

@JabberwockOclock

Around what patch was that changed? I started with the tail-end of 2.8, so the reason we put labs on the capital back then was because we literally couldn't build them on colonies until the Planetary Capital was upgraded. That just resulted in a natural concentration that people stuck with.

They still provide +10% (+15% instead with Adaptation tradition, and +10% on top of that with Imperial authority, and +3% resource output on top of that from 5 stability gained from designating it as a capital) to ALL resource output, including research, so it's still sensible to put your research onto capital, unless your guaranteed worlds are shite. Furthermore, the sector governor would give governor bonus on the capital planet, instead of sector governor bonus it gives on other planets in the sector, giving you additional buffs depending on their type and traits. Additionally, you can ascend the planet for even greater bonuses, and certain bonuses from leviathan parades apply only on the capital. Generally, the only cases where you don't want to make your capital a tech world are when you are planning on playing with a lot of capital-exclusive buildings like Vaults of Knowledge, Embassy Complexes, etc., etc, or when you are playing Doomsday..

@@user-fo8ff2gl8n Leviathan parades don't just target your capital. They target the highest population planet that has not been targeted by a parade in the last 50 years. That said, the current version allows you to redirect parades to a planet of your choosing, so if you have a better candidate you can just do that.

You may have missed the research bonus from non-starting relic worlds. Did they remove the central spire research bonus? The relic worlds you find (not starting worlds) have a central spire feature that once you clear gives a 15% bonus and 8 science jobs. If it's still in, you missed this important one as the rubicator questline spawns you a relic world, and it's quite common. Just be sure not to do the archeology site on the planet till you have a large fleet in orbit. Turning it into an ecumenopolis will replace the spire with something else that reduce it to 10% bonus.

It's a bit misleading to say the bonus is reduced to 10% when turned into an ecumenopolis as that will add a 20% bonus to all jobs. This means any scientists on the planet will still be gaining the same 30% bonus to their output before and after, although you do still lose those 8 free researcher jobs.

ecumenopolis has an intrinsic +% for all resources so it is actually not a loss of research but a buff for all other resources. The bonus is not immediate as you have scientist jobs you must fill up first, as you wanted it to be a tech world from the start anyway, but its not a loss to upgrade. ...Unless you wanted more artifacts from Faculty of Archaeostudies.

Ep3o look out there is an evil clone behind you!

Don't forget meritocracy, the +10% specialist output boosts consumergoods and science, increasing the combined job efficiency even more

•Technocracy makes expertise traits give +10% engineering/society/physics(depending on the expertise type) research per expertise trait rank to the planet they're governing (30% total) and half to the rest of the sector •Oligarchic gives +2 Councilor level which is 4% research speed from head of science (and by extension anything that gives councilor level is +2% research speed per level) •Gestalts can trade 20% Worker(Menial Drone) output for +20%Specialist(Complex Drone) output (the video seems to have avoided job output modifiers but this is something pretty big that I feel like a lot of people miss) •For anyone wondering which ascension path is the best for research, it's Psionics -Psionic get +10%(Psionic), +10%(Intelligent), +5%(science trait) +20% (Telepaths), +10% (Instrument Sanctum) for 55% total or 45% + 10% Research Speed(Whisper Sanctum) -Cyborgs get +10% pop output(tradition), can run intelligent(10%), logic engine(10%) and specialized science trait(+15%/3 for 5% bonus to overall research) and +10%(cyborg governor) for a total of 45% -Synth get +10% pop output(synthetics tech), +10% pop output (tradition), +5% pop output (synth governor) and can run logic engine(+10%) and efficient processors(+5% all jobs) traits for 40% -Genetic get +20%(Erudite), +5%(Robust), +5%(science trait) for 30% total *I didn't factor in Overtuned since it can be taken by 3/4 options •This is probably a bug but it's been so long it's basically a feature. Research Cooperative federation gives you a research agreement with everyone in the federation including yourself. While this sounds useless it actually gives you a giant boon in the lategame as repeatable techs count as the same tech regardless of level, so when you research a repeatable tech just once every time after that you'll be adding the 25-45% research speed bonus from the agreement to it because someone(that being yourself) in the research cooperative has done it once.

Psionics can get additional +25% to resource output from psionic pops if they get a Psionic Teacher legendary paragon, and can increase the bonus to resource output per telepath from +10% to at least +20% through divide conduit (Though, actually, number as high as +26% is possible by doing oligarchy with vaults of knowledge, shadow council and statecraft traditions due to effective councillor skill allowing you to get bonuses higher than those you'd usually get from 10 levels.)

Having Wenkwort Artem is the key to have best planet for tech. Get the double bonus, bonus for gaia world + bonus to tech from gardeners and wenkwort as default.

searched for this yesterday. I started playing a while ago and still struggle a lot with managing my empire well enough to scale into lategame, so this will help a lot. Thanks

You DONT get veteran classes with out Paragons. Level 4 is just a level up that gives you a new random trait.

6:47 "Reesertch subseeses" There you go. Engagement algorithm pleased. KZreadr lightly mocked. My work here is done.

I never understand how people manage tech rush, whenever I try to do it I end up in an economic crisis mid game trying to balance things out, which leads me to only playing hive minds to try to mitigate that Edit: so there are a few things I didn't know from the video, will try and see if i can fix my "mid game crisis"

An insightful overview of how to manage Science. Useful, and important to cover. A useful intro to some, and a reference for the rest of us! Could you perhaps look at doing 'all the other important stuff' Master Classes next? Things like Unity, Influence, and expansion. I'm so tired of always hearing "RUSH this!" blah blah, "SPAM that!" yadda yadda, "GET this bonus" etc etc. The community - or at at least the loudest parts of it, perhaps? - are always reducing of everything down to 'spamming' and 'rushing'. How is that creative? How is that fun? It becomes a grind. The relentless pressure there seems to be for more and more optimisation, bigger and bigger numbers, etc, and the is IMO the worst thing about Stellaris's scene. The game is far more than 'Science And Alloys Grind Simulator 2016' and I hope it ever remains that way.

Over 2600 hours in the game, still watching videos like this. Never know if I learn something new!

I really enjoy your videos I watched them when I just started playing and it really helped out. Hope your channel keeps on doing well.

I'm taking my grandma to her karate class

Here's a tip about leaders and goverments. Imperial rulers and their heirs don't cost unity upkeep. Plus, since the ruler won't ever get voted out or in. They can only get council traits. Since their heir will inherit the empire one day, they too only get council traits. They also get more trait picks options on level up. Plus, the heir can fill other roles like regualr leaders based on their class. It might not be as good as specialist boosts from egalitarian ethics and civics. But potentially having two scientists with only council focused traits and veteran classes can give you a lot of research speed. The only problem is that the heir could end up being a different class to their parent.

i think empire size is really important if you are expanding/conquoring. If you are sticking to less than 10 planets go all out in research bonuses as described in the video but if you're going big i think it's better to focus on empire size reduction.

Offering to the algorithm!

21:44, this is no longer the case, there's an empire limit of one, so you can only get the bonus from one of your scholariums. Still worth it but not as spammable.

Love this guide!

Icl going psionic rush start and focusing unity (to the point where I have all policy trees finished and multiple T5 ascension planets at year 91) felt so much better than trying to rush tech. I just continue to pump science and consumer goods until I have roughly 4k science which costs about 3-4 dedicated science planets with this tactic. It hurts but it felt lots more rewarding

Idk why everyone struggle with galatron. Just got it from first Reliquary. More critical from my opinion are that end-game federations, which are unbalanced as hell speaking of fleet capacity and its maintenance cost.

I find the best way to get more science is to have duplicates of me working in the background ;)

You forgot about Domination Tradition which reduces he Empire Size by 10. Or to modify your species to be Docile or to have Streamline Protocols fot reduced Empire Size from Pops. Late game, Empire Size reaches 15.000, with 10.000 only from pops so I go Domination over Discovery and Docile or Streamline Protocols over Inteligent or Logic Engines. Sometimes, I get both Domination and Discovery, but if I have to choose, I'll pick Domination. Not to mention civics to reduce Empire Size from pups. Late game, reducing Empire Size from Pops is more valuable than bonus to research output.

Gota get that engagement up!

I never knew you could turn planets won in wars your vassals start into other vassals. That really is a huge difference for playing synthetics for me. Empire sprawl from this happening would kill me.

I will add that the Adaptability Tradition adds 5% Research to the Planetary Designation for Tech Worlds for its Finisher(among other things) If you're going to use Planetary Ascension, Adaptability may be worth taking now.

Keep it up man 👍

Ep3o and his multiverse copy behind him

How can we trust you? You murdered Bubbles! 😝

tech rushing is the best way to play

i think hive minds is best tech empires in 3.11. Guardianship civic, both empire sprawl civics for planets and for population, progenitor hive origin, cyborg for efficiency and less sprawl for districts, and +10% research speed and - 50% empire sprawl from planets tradition perks with traditions expansion, domination and synchronicy[?], to minimize empire sprawl and hive worlds just because theyre op. You have 0 empire sprawl from population and your only empire sprawl comes from systems and planets. You kinda can get huge tech progress with just sitting within your borders and waiting for crisis.

2000 hours and i never noticed that adaptability increases world type bonuses.

with machines not needing to be gestalt makes me wonder how much science i can get

Not even the multiplayer community liked the changes It made games take longer and you cannot pause in multiplayer without having 4 people get bored and quit.

You’re wrong about adaptive vs unruly. First unadaptive applies imidiately where unruly doesn’t affect anything until you hit 100 size. Second phonic theory harmony pacifist beacon of liberty workers rights etc all stack aditivy. If you have -90 empiresize from pops this is multiplicative not additive with unruly. Unruly essentially becomes a 1percent increase in empire size from pops. Finally you can get rid of the trait in other builds before it becomes an issue. Whereas nonadaptive slows your ramp.

Worst thing of the 3.11 update was them getting rid of assist research - they should add a slider at the start saying if you want it or not. Also, I still hate the leader limit (thank god for mods lol 😂) Overall though do think the game is in a solid state now - however how some of the mods are not implemented into the full game still seems absolutely crazy to me it’s so difficult to do a ‘vanilla’ play through Great video as always 👍

Neat vid

It is so great to see a Tech video after the new update. What I would love to see, though, is an exploration of the Tech Tree - I struggle with picking between Materials techs or Voidcraft tech now, since I know the slower tech means I might not see one or the other here for a decade or more

Last I checked, if you get a research agreement with Multiple Empires, that benefit of 25% stacks PER agreement. Again Last I checked.

I like that they nerfed tech but something feels wrong, maybe the cost of the tech is too high? Or maybe the sprawl is affecting the tech cost too much?
