Stellaris carnet des développeurs n° 141 : Exploration du futur.

Bonjour à tous,

Aujourd’hui je suis de retour avec un carnet un peu plus important que d’habitude pour vous partager mes pensées et mes idées à propos du jeu. Nous avons été beaucoup occupés par les tâches prioritaires de ces derniers temps et je pense qu’il est maintenant important de parler de chose plus importante.

Dans le rétroviseur :

Stellaris a parcouru un long chemin depuis sa sortie le 09/05/2016 et a vécu d’important changement depuis la version 1.0. Le jeu a été dirigé par de nombreuses personnes au cours des années et je suis la troisième qui tient les rênes. On peut jeter un oeuil au carnet comme “le voyage inaugural” ou “la route à parcourir” pour voir tous les travaux réalisés.

Pourquoi Stellaris est un grand jeu :

Stellaris est un jeu avec des potentialités quasiment infinies et je pense que c’est une chose qui le différencie beaucoup des autres 4X. Stellaris c’est comme un multi-univers sans chronologie ou histoire fixe. Je décris souvent le jeu comme un jeu de figurine ou le joueur choisi quelques une d’entres elles parmis la réserve et les met dans un sac. Ce sac représente le scénario à venir et chaque histoire est importante. Stellaris peut proposer des opportunités infinies aux joueurs pour qu’ils y inventent leur propre fantaisie ou univers de science fiction et c’est ce qui rend le jeu unique. Je souhaite enrichir encore plus cet univers et ajouter toujours plus de ces figurines (les mécaniques de jeu bien sur).

Je pense que nous aimons tous Stellaris pour cette profondeur, les possibilités de personnalisation et cette capacité à créer une histoire (tout en restant un jeu de stratégie complexe).

Les travaux actuels :

Nous avons travaillé dur pour que la version 2.2.6 soit prête à temps et pour le moment elle sortira donc le 7 Mars, soit jeudi prochain. De nombreuses améliorations ont été faite dont celle ci dessous :

- Interface planétaire : L’interface des planètes a été retravaillé et devrait vous plaire en particulier pour les habitats, les œcuménopole et les anneaux monde.
- Amélioration des vaisseaux : Les flottes s’améliorent maintenant vaisseaux par vaisseaux et ainsi une annulation au milieu de l’amélioration ne sera plus dommageable. Le nouveau système utilise aussi de multiples chantiers navals en même temps.
- Mécanique unique : Nous avons démarré un processus d’amélioration d’un nombre de civisme et des ascensions pour les rendre plus unique au lieu d’un bonus générique. Ce processus suit son court et le but est de remplacer le plus possible de ces civismes pour créer de nouvelles façon de jouer.
- Nouvelle IA militaire : Nous avons retravaillé la gestion militaire de l’IA qui offre dorénavant plus de challenge dans les guerres. Elle n’est toujours pas parfaite mais c’est un pas dans la bonne direction. Avec vos retours nombreux, cela ne peut qu’aller mieux !
- Correction des bugs et améliorations : Nous avons fait une quantité d’amélioration de qualité de vie et corrigé un large nombre de bug. Plus de détails sont à retrouver dans les notes de la mise à jour ci dessous.
VERSION 2.2.5

Spoiler:


Nouveautés

* Added the new "Legion" flag set, with 6 new flag emblems

Équilibrage

* Pop growth: Reduced Random factor in pop growth, habitability has more of penalty on growth selection, lessened bias towards new species, and traits have a larger effect on Robot selection
* Strike craft now do more damage, have longer range, are faster, and turn and accelerate quicker
* Machine Empires get 50% more resources from mining bases
* Machine Empire Tech Drones now produce 6 energy (up from 4) base. Agri Drones now produce 5 food (down from 6) base. Both of these also apply to Synth Empires.

* Machine Empire Outposts now cost 150 alloys
* Machine Empire Fabricators produce 4 alloys (up from 3) at the cost of 8 minerals (up from 6).
* New Machine Empire colonies start with 2 replicator jobs to give a bit of early boost (up from 1), upgraded capitals reduced to give the same number overall. The extra Replicator jobs beyond the 2 granted by upgraded capital buildings now depend on the planet still having >= 10/40 pops, to remove a tedious exploit with resettling pops to unlock the upgrade, then moving them again

* The Repugnant/Uncanny trait now has less of an effect on pops avoiding amenity producing jobs
* Maintenance drone job priority now considers amenity level of the planet
* Simple drones now ponder the empire level food/mineral/energy income when choosing a job
* Made the bad outcome of the Abandoned Terraforming Project event produce a Tomb World, rather than a totally unusable Toxic World
* Added potential negative outcomes the Atomic Clock chain, since previously there was no real choice involved
* Made Fanatic Purifiers always able to choose "no retreat" war doctrine
* Scaled back bonus resources from planet modifiers to just be for chthonian planets and carbon world, for now...
* When freed from the time loop, the Prikkiki-Ti lizards will start with the same level of tech as their closest neighbour. Also their economy and fleet power has been improved
* Telepaths, head researchers, high priests, administrators, executives, researchers, enforcers and entertainers now have weights for ascension/events/uplifts related traits
* Returned removed orbital deposits to uninhabitable Precursor homeworlds

IA

* Machine and Mechanical AI empires will favor generator districts a bit more
* AI will not build housing buildings when it doesn't need them
* AI will no longer start scrapping buildings immediately once it decides it doesn't need more of them, it will just stop building new ones for a while

* Free movement faction demand no longer cares about robots or their rights
* Pops without military service rights will no longer take soldier or enforcer jobs
* Fixed not being able to assign/unassign leader (by clicking portrait) from fleet manager view
* Fixed literally unplayable typos in certain Italian names in the human namelist
* Fixed a case where a build outpost command inside space you already own would wrongly claim you were trying to build in another empire's territory
* Finally got around to adding a proper confirmation click sound when adding claims on the galaxy map
* Fixed cases where pop growth would not overflow properly after a new pop is spawned (99+3 used to = 100), causing all sorts of weirdness with pop growth modifiers
* Fixed cases where science ships on auto-explore would just stop, or randomly choose a crazy indirect path to the next unexplored system
* Fixed the supply ship wreckage event to not fire if the other party is a genocidal empire, since it makes little sense for them

* Fixed the "Ships Lost" outcome of the Fleet Maneuvers event sometimes not having any effect, by preventing it firing if there are too few ships in the fleet to destroy
* Updated the text in some of the Synth Uprising events to better convey the scale of the disaster, since while we'll never tell how many beings compose a Pop, it's probably more than a dozen
* Removed nonfunctional and unintended "merge fleets" button for things like the lost amoeba, that are not supposed to merge with normal fleets
* Fixed a pathfinding issue that would cause fleet to not move towards their destination

* Bonus minerals from planet modifiers will no longer overwrite the dragon hoard
* Fixed bountiful plains (level 1 food deposit) not showing up on savannah worlds
* Fixed workers abandoning the mines to displace specialists, leading to basic resource starvation and a lot of unemployed high strata pops later in the game. No social mobility for you!
* No longer possible to sometimes rival countries that have pathetic relative power
* Made sure to cull the old, empty lost amoeba fleet from the fleet manager as the amoeba matures
* Ensured capital buildings can convert to the correct type when a planet of primitives/machines/hive minds is taken over by another empire type
* AH4B from Distant Stars can no longer change composition to prevent naval capacity bypass exploit

* Fixed coming across the Caravansary home base (before encountering a Caravaneer Fleet) not giving you communications with them
* Added fixes for more cases where the Scourge would sometimes stop expanding
* Fixed Contingency and Scourge not being able to purge the final pop on an occupied planet, because thoroughness is important

VERSION 2.2.6

Spoiler:


Nouveauté

* Added a new, more user-friendly planet screen, with better organization and display of info and buttons
* Ship upgrading is now handled individually, on a per ship, per shipyard basis. This means if the process is interrupted part way, some of the ships will still be upgraded, rather than losing the entire upgrade progress. Also, alloy costs are now deducted one ship at a time, rather than for the entire fleet in one go, so you don't have to wait until you can afford everything to start the upgrade process
* Warrior Culture civic no longer reduces army upkeep, but instead makes Entertainment buildings replace Entertainers with Duelists. Duelists turn 1 alloy into 3 unity, 12 amenities and 2 naval capacity
* Added Logistical Corps tradition custom flavour text swap for Hive Minds
* Added Great Game tradition custom flavour text swap for Devouring Swarms
* Added new animation to Plantoid 13 (cactus) portrait. It will now have some butterflies as company!

-Artisan Drones produce 8 Consumer goods for 8 minerals (up from 6 of each)
-Biotrophy Jobs now also increase Complex Drone putput on their planet by 0.25% each
-Starts with 1 additonal Nexus District
* Driven Assimilator tweaks:
-Bio pop growth reduced by 40%
-1 fewer Replicator job per level of capital
-Now start with +100 food, and 100 less energy
* Ship upgrades are cheaper due to refund amount from old components being increased to 90% (was 50%)
* Pops have a wider possible range of Political power, so for example you can care less about unhappy slaves since it's not as though they can vote or anything
* Meritocracy Civic effect on leader pool size removed and replaced with specialist output +10%
* Clone Vats are no longer required to build Clone armies, they are now unlocked by the Gene Banks tech (resolves an issue where this tech had no benefit for assimilators)

* Strategic resources summary on the top bar will now show in red to let you know if any are in deficit
* Fixing devastation progress bar reaching 100% and disappearing

IA

* Big rework of military AI making it a lot smarter and more aggressive in war: better selection and maintenance of the aim, better follow through on invading worlds they are bombarding, not so easy to kite with tiny decoy fleets, more willing to reinforce neighboring friendlies under attack, etc
* AI is not so maniacal about crime that it rush builds 3 precinct houses on every planet
* The sector AI should now be better at upgrading buildings relevant to its selected focus
* Improved the AI's budgeting of Alloys

Correction des bugs

* Fixed edge case where multiple megastructures could be built in the same system
* Fixed missing missions for primitive observation posts
* Fixed planets still being colonized generating emigration push to other worlds. I know the offworld colonies weren't the paradise the holovid adverts made them out to be, but give them another generation or two...
* Fixed a broken string in the tooltip for the Egalitarian ethic
* Fixed guaranteed ideal nearby systems generating based on absolute distance rather than max jumps from homeworld, which could cause them to be isolated by unlucky jump lane network generation

* Preferred habitability is no longer strictly tied to starting planet class if a civic changes the starting planet
* Fixed developing colonies being hidden in the outliner's Sectors group if on completion a new sector would be created
* Fixed pre-sapient policies disappearing if you purge all of them from your space, making fulfilment of certain faction demands impossible, because what are the screams of the innocent next to that sweet, sweet influence?
* Changed wording on the Strong/Very Strong traits. It was wrongly implying that is should affect the outcome of ALL worker strata jobs, not just basic resource extraction ones. Even if your clerks never skip leg day, they probably shouldn't benefit from these traits
* Added piracy suppression values to event generated ships that were missing them
* Fixed a few more cases of techs with the wrong specialty group assignment

* Added a basic Zro income to Spiritualist Fallen empires to allow them to properly produce reinforcements for their damaged fleets
* The modifier for Refinery worlds should also now affect Gestalt jobs
* Fixed several ship weapons which had incorrect resource costs
* Energy/Culture Habitat districts should convert properly if a gestalt empire takes it from a normal empire, or vice versa
* Fixed a crash when a country gets a trade route that used to belong to someone else
* Fixed tooltip that hilariously claimed that setting a species to purge (except neuter) was a requirement for the Decent Living Standards
Le futur :

J’ai beaucoup d’idées sur ce que j’ai envie de voir dans Stellaris pour les prochaines années. Mais d’abord je voulais vous parler des chose que nous voulons changer dans un futur proche. La croissance des population et les secteurs sont deux systèmes que ne nous conviennent pas et qui verront des modifications.
Dans le cas des secteurs, nous voulons donner au joueur un meilleur contrôle sur ces derniers et plus d’automatisation afin de l’aider à réduire la microgestion dans le cas de large empire. Nous n’avons pas encore décidé des détails mais la possibilité de changer certaines planètes d’un secteur à l’autre est quelques chose que nous allons ajouter, comme donner des subventions tous les mois aux secteurs. Comme toujours vos avis sont précieux pour nous et nous aimerions vous entendre à ce propos.
La croissance des population est elle aussi problématique dans le sens qu’elle introduit beaucoup trop de micro-gestion. Dans un monde idéal ces dernières migreraient d’elles même vers les endroits nécessitant des travailleurs. Du côté de l’équilibrage, avoir plus de planètes est un peu trop fort vis à vis de la croissance des populations pour le moment et nous aimerions faire en sorte que cela fonctionne d’une façon que nous préfèrerions. Malgré cela nous sommes très content de nos changements récents (NdT : Le choix de l’espèce qui croit), mais nous sommes toujours en train de regarder le malus dû à l’habitabilité et la croissance de base qui conduit à une croissance exponentielle.
Mais cela il n’est pas encore temps de faire des promesses et je dois encore vous partager ma vision du futur du jeu. Avec le volet diplomatique étant de façon évidente une des grandes étapes où nous n’avons encore rien touché, nous voulons voir plus d'interactions entre les maîtres et vassaux, étendre les fonctionnalités des fédérations et bien plus. L’espionnage, la religion, les cultes et de nombreux autres concepts sont aussi encore à explorer.

ATTENTION : CETTE LISTE N’EST NI EXHAUSTIVE, NI FINALE AU REGARD DE CE QUE LE FUTUR RÉSERVE.

Croissance des population : changer le système de migration et essayer de réduire la valeur de base de la croissance pour rendre moins fort le fait d’avoir de nombreuses planètes et pour rendre l’habitabilité plus impactante.
Automatisation et secteurs: permettre au joueur de dessiner ses secteurs, réduire la micro-gestion et augmenter les outils de contrôle.
Trame historique : séparer certains civisme en trame de fond et en ajouter.
Civisme plus unique : passer plus de temps à créer des civismes uniques et amusants.
Institutions : définir quelles institutions de votre empire détiennent le pouvoir parmis tous les départements ( le corps diplomatique, le bureau de la xénologie, etc), leur financement et leur influence.
Espionnage: l’ajout d’indice et de mécaniques pour avoir plus d’informations sur vos voisins ainsi que des opérations spéciales.
Cultes et religions : un peu comme les factions, des cultes pourraient apparaître lors de certaines circonstances. Les empires spiritualists auront très certainement des cultes “impériaux”, l’adulation d’entité puissante, etc.
Archéologie : explorer les ruines d’anciennes civilisations.
Vassalisation améliorée : permettre aux maîtres de personnaliser leurs relations avec leur vassaux, le niveau de tribut, les bénéfices envers le sujet, etc.
Fédérations : création d’un système de niveau pour les fédérations, des types d’élections différent, des taxes, etc.
Le conseil galactique : création d’un genre de ONU de l’espace avec une politique galactique et des options diplomatiques.
Primitifs : plus d'interaction avec les primitifs et les espèces n’ayant pas encore atteint le stade de la propulsion PRL.

Comme mentionné plus haut, ceci n’est pas une promesse des mécaniques à venir mais juste un partage des choses que j’aimerai voir changées ou ajoutées dans le futur.


Ah j’ai failli oublié :

Et comme d’habitude je vous invite à passer sur le sujet officiel pour y laisser vos impressions et vous tenir au courant des dernières informations.
