thoughts on new Stellaris DLC/update? (hexbear.net)

I really like the new planetary management/pop system, much more interesting to specialise your planets now, and it's also great that pop growth now isn't proportional to the number of planets you have... It's a major shame about the lack of optimisation and the bugs, though. My biggest hope for this update was a performance boost so fingers crossed they're still gonna deliver on that!

Also, I've seen a lot of UI complaints, especially around the planetary management. It definitely had issues on launch but I've not found it unplayably bad like some others? Definitely could display more info but not disastrously bad

Yeah, it's often kinda frustrating. The first run I did with Federations enabled was kinda darkly hilarious at least because I played a leftist faction, joined the federation, got forced to do loads of ancap shit because everyone else was hyper capitalist which made the galaxy inefficient and got almost everyone killed by the late game crisis.

Yeah I was envisioning the Star Trek Federation and it was much more like the Star Wars Republic where no one was willing to goto war against the aggressive advanced civ on my border.
