Unlike the ambivalent Tiyanki Space Whales, this one is hostile and eagerly wrecks any ships that it comes across. The reward for defeating it is the best self-repair tech for ships in the game. However, it is not salvageable in any way, because it is already a barely held-together garbage processor in the first place. The Scavenger is another massive automaton, not unlike the Automated Dreadnaught. They wait around until they are discovered – usually killing whatever discovered them in the process. Like the Leviathans in Leviathans, most of the additional Leviathans that Distant Stars introduces are extant creatures, already placed in the galaxy at the start of the playthrough. Depending on the player’s choices, they could become yet another sapient species (albeit with two potent positive traits that are inherent), or a variant of the Titanic beasts that causes less collateral damage, but has less morale and costs Energy to be raised too. These involve the discovery of the Azizians the Azizians would have been another pre-sapient species – except that they are also gigantic slugs revived from frozen stasis. However, a few anomalies are exclusive to Distant Stars content. To encourage players to start new playthroughs, additional anomalies have been added to the base game. After all, only fully surveyed systems can be taken.) (A tip here: it might be wiser to consider continuing surveys, if one of the player’s goals is to claim systems. Therefore, players would have to decide between having science ships and their scientists spend precious time on studying discovered anomalies or having them continue surveys. For the gameplay-balancing of anomalies, anomalies with more desirable outcomes have much longer studying times instead. The outcomes of the studies will never be decided with an RNG roll, and will have fixed results instead, which is good.
#STELLARIS APOCALYPSE DOOMSDAY TECH UPDATE#
The Niven update that came alongside the Distant Stars DLC revamped the system for the studies of anomalies. The Pulsating Stars event chain refers to a real-life astronomical observation. However, the stars of this content – pun very much intended – are the special star systems that are added into any playthrough with Distant Stars content included. The impression that this is the case is made all the stronger with the introduction of additional kinds of Leviathans. Along with some incidents that probably rankled the game’s designers and gave them some crazy ideas, many of the later expansions introduce content that offers very different gameplay – so different that gameplay balancing and documentation of gameplay elements became major issues.ĭistant Stars is a return to the design philosophy behind Leviathans. Leviathans added reasons to explore the galaxy in playthroughs, but was also criticized for not doing things that are particularly significant or radical.
