Current Events > I'm doing another Stellaris playthrough w/mods. Post-apocalyptic humanity yo.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Basically humanity nuked Earth during WW3 and now is scrambling to space to avoid dying off

There's worse ways to spend a rainy Sunday inside. Let's do this shit.

What mods are good for Stellaris anyway?

Though I should probably learn how to play it without mods first I guess

I like Stellaris but I can never seem to get far enough into the game to witness or do all the cool shit everyone talks about

Definitely do a vanilla playthrough first, but a few of the must-haves are

Cultural Overhaul - Adds a buttload of new civics, governments, and traditions

New Ship Classes - Adds more than the four basic ship types in vanilla. Now you can have carriers, dreadnoughts, frigates, all that shit.

Guilli's Planet Modifiers - Makes planets way more varied and interesting

Downscaled Ships (check for compatibility w other ship mods first) - Changes the scaling so ships are smaller.

Gigastructural Engineering - Adds more megastructures to the game, as well as late-game Gigastructures. On my last playthrough I built a Penrose Sphere

More Events Mod - Adds more events and anomalies to the game

Dynamic Political Events - Adds political events to your game to provide flavor and shake up your empire. Works great with...

Potent Rebellions - Expands on rebellions (which are fairly rare in the base game). Lets you influence other nations by aiding rebels and fermenting unrest.

And there's a few mods I have that add new ship types and whatnot, but that's about all on my main rotation of mods. They should be all safe to use together, just check for compatibility and patches first.

The xenophobic authoritarian faction gained power in parliament and then the leader declared himself dictator for life and then declared war on half the galaxy
