@Cacambo43, that's the typical problem with thermal stealth in space. White's whole proposal is to use a specific psionic power to sidestep that, by 'magically' cooling the ship off in ways that are not typically physically possible.

I think you mistake my meaning, I'm not suggesting you not use Teidar, because your plan fundamentally requires them and their defiance of known physics to have any hope of working. I know that. I was just thinking that it would be tough to find a cooling medium and system that could instantly cool...

The best thing does seem to be having an internal 'radiator' system hooked to a system that cools the skin of the ship, so long as you keep that cool enough the rest of the ship doesn't matter, and trying to cool it all seems just like a needless waste. The math to figure out how many high class th...

That post reminded me that it's now out of EA and I should give it another spin, so I did this morning.

I now appreciate Stellaris a bit more than I did yesterday.

As someone who has tinkered with setting up their own realscale, orbital mechanics centric wargame, seeing Children of a Dead Earth pop up was a bit bittersweet. Playing it has been an interesting experience, and very different from my own dream game. So far I'm still in the tutorials, and it's feel...

Thank goodness. I started playing yesterday, and am having a lot of fun, but refits are already wearing on me.

...because no Loroi here since the semi-legendary past has made any hyperjump. ... The Loroi as well as the newborns shouldn't display any symptoms anyway. Unless there's a definitive statement from Razor I'm forgetting, I think this is an incorrect assumption. The inference I've gotten so far is t...

I have also voted.

I do not understand this obsesion with whales. They can wait until the colony is actually prepared to deal with them and profit from them. Our last round of whaling gave us effectively four turns of free research, doubled the effectiveness of a building we already intend to build, and unlocked the ...

Oh yes, bring on that sweet science annex!

Martial: Mantas again. We've got that bonus to hunting, I say we should take advantage of it before trying to branch out. There's still plenty more weird things we haven't investigated on the whales Diplomacy: I'm on the fence between working relations and governance. I leaning towards the latter, b...

There is a game there, it's just a very simple and easy one. A few things come to mind in response to Arioch's point. First are Factorio and Space Beast Terror Fright, which are both games that take place in procedurally generated maps but have very well honed and distinctive gameplay. They sort of ...

Quick note, it looks like the stellaris mod uploader didn't update my mod, instead it uploaded an entirely new mod. So, gonna have to figure out how to fix that.

EDIT: Fixed.

Thank you very much for the help Rekov. I just put out an update with the hair and ears, 36 colors per style. If you want to take any of those colors for your own ends Rekov, you're welcome to them.

Ach, I hadn't noticed that issue until you pointed it out. Do you happen to have masked versions of the original color selection? I've got, if I remeber correctly off the top of my head, 36 bulk generated color options per hair style. Using yours as a base would mean redoing my hunt for good color s...

I dug into automated hair color filtering today, along with making use of the elf portraits.





I ought to be able to update the workshop mod tomorrow.

Most kind, Rekov, thank you. Once I get in other hair styles that show the ears I'll likely swap in recolors of your portraits in the same update. Credit will be included of course.

I believe my last post was made around 4 hours of playtime. Now having passed 11 hours, I stand by it still. It's not an earth shattering breakthrough in anything, but I enjoy popping it on for an hour at a time to wander and progress.

I've checked out the main elf mod I'm aware of, and I'm planning on asking for permission to use their portraits for a base. Their hair and clothes appear to all be recolors of the default styles, which is something I think I can do at least as well myself in future versions. I should be able to set...
