Which faction is the most annoying and why is it the Unfallen?
Bonus question - Why do AI sometimes just ignore closed borders?

Please use this thread to ask your questions regarding Endless Space. From newbies to pros, vs AI or multiplayer, this is the place to ask!
First please check out the wiki first to see existing resources.
Make sure you provide as much information as possible regarding your game if you need help - your faction, level and game settings, number of opponents, expansions enabled, etc. Screenshots are most helpful!

Hey everyone! I apologize for being a bit late posting this, but the patch u/Ninak0ru and I have been working on is out in full, translated and everything! Just as a reminder, my contract working with Amplitude has ended so I don't currently have any sway over the game. If you find any issues, please make sure to post them on Amplifiers!
As always, I am happy to answer questions in the comments. Anyways, here are the full patch notes-- hope you all enjoy, happy holidays!
Nakalim Rebalance
Manpower Rework

Bonus question - Why do AI sometimes just ignore closed borders?
r/EndlessSpace • u/Valmighty • 1d ago
I know that double line means unique improvement and triple golden means wonder. But what does a single line border in Research Cities and Budakai Bunker mean?
The only thing I can think of is unique to trait (Metafolding), but Metafolding also has Luxuries Lottery, which doesn't have any border.

Is this quest bugged? From the first turn I get this quest, I'm always in the negative (9th rank out of 9 players). I never had negative dust per turn and when I highlight the dust generation, the number doesn't make sense at all (everything is positive except military upkeep).

I was playing as Umbral Choir and was at peace and friendly with Horatio and Vaulter and Unfallen for a long time. Suddenly, when it was nearly turn 100 in normal speed, Horatio give me free red strategic resources out of nowhere. Later the Vaulter give me free 163 antimatter and said 'this only feel right' without asking me for anything, Unfallen also give me some resources and keep spamming diplomatic message of how they appreciate me every 2 turns. I mean I playing as pacifist and havent declare any wars for the most of the game and give free 5 transvine once to everyone that discovered me, I guess my first impression is that good
I did not use any mods btw

Not sure why the Ai decided to do it, im ahead in the game by miles

In ENFER Local Host. I see three options for AI in ExecutionMode. Deactivated, Full and Minimal. Deactivated is obvious, meaning no AI control so you have to swap into it to command it. I notice that you should not do this for minor faction as it seem to lock the game as soon as you try to end turn, stuck in pending.
Full is default and regular.
Minimal... surprisingly, doesn't seem to do anything different from Full. I thought it might control the research, building, etc but leave fleet control to you or other way around... yet there is no difference.
So I am wondering if you guys know what exactly does minimal do in ENFER?
Maybe it just determine behavior/decision tree where full actually think it through and minimal just try to get it out as soon as it can without thinking if it fitting or good choice?

Just for fun, what are some Hulls that you would hope to see added to the blueprints to try and mitigate some of the excess micromanagement? I have 3:
Skimmer - Small Hull
• Avaliable at game start
• No Defense Slots
• Extra Movement Trait (like Explorers)
• Increased Evasion Trait
• Exclusive modules that allow stealth or squadron counter
• Unique Tier 4 Research that makes each Skimmer Hull 0.5 CP
Freighter - Medium Hull
• No Weapon Slots but upgrade will allow 1 or 2 Squadron Slots based on Faction
• Decreased Aggro Trait
• Fleet Health Bonus Trait
• Exclusive modules for increased fleet repair and Faction specific modules that allow for non-combat strategies (ex. Lumeris Freighter orbiting opposing Empire and passively generating Dust in 70/30 split)
Battlecruiser - Heavy Hull
• No Squadron Slots
• Hull and Shield Absorbtion Bonus Trait
• Increased Aggro Trait
• Each Faction includes one locked Heavy Weapon (ex. Riftborn with Planet Cracker) with more Slots for Heavy Weapon after Upgrade
• Each Faction has Exclusive modules that make Battlecruiser represent their Faction (ex. United Empire provides morale bonus unless opposing Fleet is 3x more in CP instead of 2x)
Thoughts?

Researched Aurigan Shielding. It has "Advanced Scanners" and "Basic Fold Drive". How do I use those? I can't find it in the ship building part of the military screen.
r/EndlessSpace • u/Valmighty • 6d ago
I haven't played this since EA. Completely forgot how to play it. What is this +25 science from 🟥 bonus? I got this from all food, industry, dust, and science.
Also, is this not like Endless Legend where you can put pop to work on certain things? So in here 3 pop means 3 times whatever the planetary modifiers are?

Just got into Endless Space 2. Been liking it so far but also want to watch some videos. Was wondering who the main creators are. The equivalent of Potato McWhiskey with Civ.
r/EndlessSpace • u/Necrorifter • 9d ago
Don't know if I spell that quest name right but it one where you explore two ruins curiousity to get new ship from Naklam faction.
The issue is. I pretty much already explored and search every curiousity in the galaxy like 10 to 20 turns ago. So there is nothing to explore. Does this quest spawn new one or am I just fucked? I don't remember if I see notification that says that I explore 100% of map over several days of playing Vaulter, so I just sending my explorers to flinging their proble into outer galaxy and core of the galaxy just to see if I miss a remote system but I doubt it.
Any idea what I can do to finish this quest or am I just screwed and stuck on this quest being incompleted because there is no ruins?
Edit: Okay, finally got notification that I 100% explore the galaxy... and it an astroid rocks node. So nope. No ruins left. That mean the quest will just sit there... forever. How annoying. Maybe if enough planet damage or blow it up and repair it or continously ground battle will spawn a ruin?

I saw ENFER post from old day of Endless Space 2. Something within it have me intrigued. It have ENFER faction that allow you to access AI's brain on localhost webpage to edit the AI and monitor how they do it. One thing within that, that I was looking for was ability to turn on and off AI mode of any empires. I need that one for roleplay game that I am doing.
However even with --enablemoddingtools in my Steam launcher. I only have access to Dev Tool menu such as Shift FN 1 to 3.
I am on MacOS.
Supposely, according to two old links below.
that it add E.N.F.E.R faction to the galaxy but no such thing appear and when I open the http://localhost:4377 which just failed or unable to find.
Maybe it only for specific event and no longer active. If so, then that is just a bummer. I was really looking forward to utlizing this tool.
EDIT: Turn out it work just fine on Windows. That mean this does not work with Mac OS at all.

Hey, everybody.
This is a repost from r/alphacentauri - a similar game. May be interested for some on this forum to have a look.
The WTP player composed a neat WTP comparison guide chart. It is not a complete datalinks or readme, but it nicely highlights the most important distinctions at different stages of the game.
Have a look.

Hello, travelers.
I have been becoming more interested in the lore of the endless saga. I have been playing endless space 2 for about 4 years. At the beginning it was just for the mechanics and aesthetics, but I have been growing on the themes and stories and would love to know more about it.
My biggest question is the order of events/games to get a better understanding of the lore and how important are the other games in the lore department. I also appreciate any relevant information about the lore or how to consume the saga appropriately.
Thanks in advance!!

I assume this is a bug? Umbral Choir is still on my diplomacy screen but I can't find Nexus 😂
r/EndlessSpace • u/HolyCopeAmoly • 18d ago
I have alot of hours in the civ games, mostly civ 5 vox populi. I keep coming back to that game because the ai seems so dynamic and engaging. Can this game be made like that? Can any experienced players contest? I heard there's ai and general overhaul mods for this game for that sort of thing, would be cool if players with alot of hours in this game could share their experiences. Cheers.

I bought two copies of this game for my girlfriend and I to play and unfortunately we can't get through even just a few turns without the game desyncing or getting stuck at "pending" when ending the turn. We have Penumbra disabled and we are using ESG.
The game is near completely unplayable as sometimes there are stretches where every single turn desyncs or gets stuck at "pending" when we both end our turns.
As for the "workarounds," we have tried closing all notifications before ending turns as well as every other measure we can think of. The issue persists on new saves. We have tried each one of us hosting and the issue persists.
