Stellaris, carnets des développeurs n°242 et 243 : Les notes de la mise à jour 3.3 et l'après Libra.

Bonjour à tous!

Nous sommes maintenant prêts pour la sortie de la mise à jour 3.3 Libra pour le mercredi 23 février. Accompagnant cette annonce, vous trouverez ci dessous les notes de la mise à jour :


Spoiler:
VERSION 3.3.1

Mécaniques de jeu :

- Refonte de l'unité :

* Suppressing or Promoting factions no longer costs Influence.
* Known Issue: Unity costs for Faction Manipulation are not yet functioning.
* All other technologies that increased unity production now instead increase Edict Fund by 20.
* Autochthon Monument, Corporate Monument, and Simulation Site building lines now generate a small amount of Unity and increase Unity generation from jobs on their planet.
* Autochthon Monuments and other similar buildings now produce Unity based on the number of Ascension Perks the Empire has taken.
* Cutthroat Politics now also reduces Edict Upkeep by 20%.
* Executive Vigor Ascension Perk now grants 100 Edict Fund instead of 2 Edict Capacity.
* Grand Council and Harmonious Directives Traditions now grant 50 Edict Fund instead of 1 Edict Capacity.
* Imperial Cult Civic now grants 100 Edict Fund instead of 2 Edict Capacity.
* Inwards Perfection now grants 50 Edict Fund instead of 1 Edict Capacity.
* Planetary Unification now grants +5% Unity production and a one time Unity award instead of +2 Unity.
* Brand Loyalty civic now grants 25 Edict Fund instead of 1 Encryption. Subsumed Will and OTA Updates now also grant 25 Edict Fund.
* Capital designations now provide production bonuses.
* Feudal Society now also reduces Leader hiring costs by 50%, waives Unity upkeep costs for employed Leaders, causes employed Governors to instead generate Unity equal to their skill level, but removes the ability to dismiss Leaders.
* Finishing tradition trees now unlocks the ability to select previously locked Federation types.
* The Imperial Authority now gains increased Influence from Power Projection.
* Added Planetary Ascension Tiers to enhance Planet Designations through Unity
* Reforming government now costs Unity. The cost is based on Empire Size.
* Renamed Administrator jobs to Politicians. Assigned Bureaucrats, Priests and other related jobs to the new Administrator economic category.
* Resettling pops that previously cost Influence now costs Unity. Abandoning colonies still costs Influence.
* Unity Ambitions and Campaigns now function like Toggled Edicts and last until canceled with upkeep rather than costs.
* From Beta: Increased Spiritualist discounts on edict cost and upkeep to -10%/-20% from -5%/-10%. Cutthroat Politics now grants -20% edict upkeep.
* Hive empires can now build a variant of the Autochthon Monument line called Sensoriums.
* Leaders have a base cost of 100 unity and cost 50 additional unity for every leader owned leader, not counting the ones you start with. The cost goes down whenever a leader dies or is fired.
* Memorialists and Death Cults can now choose whether to build their specialized Unity buildings or regular ones. Memorialist buildings now replace the Autochthon Monument line.
* Merchant Guilds no longer produce bonus unity.
* Rulers now provide +5 Edict fund per level instead of their previous Edict Duration and Unity Boost.
* Technocracy no longer generates unity. Instead the Civic now doubles the chance that your scientists will discover a technology from within their expertise. The civic only requires you to be partially materialist.

- Ajout pour Nécroïdes :

* New Civic: Permanent Employment added.

- Contenu générique :

* Added 2 new bespoke star systems and 3 new anomalies to be discovered: “Temporal Prism”, “Lost Soul” and “Ancient Vending Machine”. Also added a colony event chain, “Insidious Ophidians”.
* 2 new archeology sites were added to the base game: “The Mask of Transformation” and “Rage Sage”.
* Added Plantoid, Lithoid, Necroid, and Aquatic pre-sapient pops to discover for owners of the respective Species Packs.

Équilibrage :

* Activating an edict now requires one months upkeep cost worth of stockpiled resources.
* The Hydrocentric Ascension Perk now allows empires to flood habitats, making them suitable for Aquatic species.

* Beta: Reduced the costs of higher tier edicts and campaigns.
* Scientists currently researching a technology can now gain new traits as they level up
* Distinguished Admiralty now gain +2 starting level to their Admirals and Generals.
* Fixed unmodifiable traits so that you can now correctly remove special habitability traits, along with various other traits that you were not meant to be able to add but it was fine to remove. Also allowed you to apply existing species templates containing such traits to the rest of the species. (This mainly covers flavour-based traits - there are still some such as Mechanical or Psionic or Necrophage which you will not be able to add or remove via species modification)
* From Beta: Empire Size effects on edicts, campaigns, and ambitions now directly affect the base costs of these, so bonuses like Spiritualist ethic's cost reductions now reduce costs and upkeep by the expected percentages.
* Increased political power of ruler and specialist strata under Decadent Lifestyle.
* Increased the consumer goods upkeep of Decadent Lifestyle.
* Integrated Preservation no longer increases admin cap, instead it gives your empire a flat 30% increase to Automatic Resettlement Chance.

* Leaders now only stay in the active pool for 1 year, hire them quickly before they leave!
* Beta: Megastructures no longer have a unity upkeep
* Pearl Divers now produce one more trade value (3 by default) and will not steal Angler jobs when food is short anymore.
* Reduced campaign costs and ambitions costs significantly, re-added Edict Cost Reduction to spiritualists for Unity Ambitions and Sacrifices.
* Regenerative Hull Tissue, Nanite Repair System and Nanobot Cloud have had their values sliced in half however they now heal on a percentage basis rather than a static one leading to a net buff in most situations..
* Beta: Removed the penalty to trade value from low habitability due to it not working properly with pops that were of a species other than the empire founding species
* Servile pops should no longer retain the trait if they become zombies.
* Spiritualist empires can now acquire the technologies associated with the Autochthon Memorial and similar buildings, as well as their faith based line.
* Spiritualists are no longer allowed to take ‘Byzantine Bureaucracy’ since they don't have Bureaucrats.

* The Here Be Dragons endgame trigger now lets Machine Intelligences with the Synthetic Age ascension perk reach it after 4 ascension perks rather than 6.
* The Living Metal technology can now be discovered as long as you have some within your borders.
* The Void Dweller finisher from the Expansion tradition tree now also discounts upgrading habitats.
* Trade value is now affected by difficulty bonus. This will make non hive mind empires more competitive on higher difficulty settings compared to hive mind AI empires.

IA :

* AI can now create more specialized planets by switching place of buildings on two different planets with each other.
* AI will no longer instantly buy ever single slave pop on the slave market.
* AI will now prioritize its alloy expenditure in a more sensible way, focusing on ships then starbases modules/upgrades and only building defense platforms as a last resort.

* AI fleets will now follow the player more closely with a follow command when they are in the same system.
* AI is now much more likely to prioritize surveying a system if they know there is a colonizable planet there resulting in faster expansion.
* AI rogue servitor empires will now build an organic sanctuary on each planet that has upgraded their capital building, and build additional ones on planets with high science or industrial output.
* Overhauled AI weightings for picking techs so that it favors technologies that increase research speed instead of almost always researching weapons (faster research means better weapons in the long run). Also fixed various bugs with this, for example extremely low weightings on researching robotics.
* AI can now balance how many pops it needs that produce amenities better (mostly relevant for Hiveminds, so they don’t put ALL their pops on amenity creating jobs).
* AI will no longer destroy superfluous buildings and districts during a temporary occupation of a planet.
* AI will now demolish superfluous districts, commonly obtained during conquest and purging the previous owners.
* AI will now favor the trade policy which generates consumer goods over the default wealth creation policy.

* Allied AI will now help its allies defend against the mid and late game crisis.
* AI is now much more likely to prioritize surveying a system if they know there is a colonizable planet there resulting in faster expansion.
* AI will now look at the individual unemployed pop when considering what job to create for it, solving various issues where jobs were created for pops who could not work them.
* Fixed AI often aborting jump drive orders during windup.
* Fixed Lithoid Tree of Life food building and destruction loop
* Fixed a bug where the AI would sometimes try to replace one lost science ship with an excessively high number thereof.
* Fixed an issue where AI can not build any buildings when negative on food and consumer goods at the same time.
* Fixed an issue where AI would continuously upgrade buildings and create an excessive amount of jobs.
* Fixed an issue where AI would incorrectly multiply the trade value generated by a building by the number of jobs provided by the building twice.
* Fixed an issue where AI would only consider solving amenities issues with buildings if there was no unemployment.
* Fixed an issue where AI would put too many pops working amenities jobs.
* Fixed an issue where hive minds were unable to build the spawning pool.

* Life Seeded AIs now always want the World Shaper ascension perk.
* Lithoid empires are now more liberal in spending minerals on their colony ships.
* Reduces AI willingness to take a lot of planets with very low habitability.
* Removed weighted random from AI construction as it now more correctly prioritizes which buildings to build.
* The AI will now use minor artifact decisions with extra focus put on Arcane Deciphering.
* Total overhaul for scripted AI tech selection. The important techs are now: extra research speed, extra resource production, resource producing buildings, ship types and starbase types.
* Updated AI construction ship logic so that they will keep working around the system they have been sent to instead of going back and forth between the empire borders (which was a very inefficient way of building stations)

Moddabilité :

* Added support for "is_essential" property on buildings which when added to the AI build queue will remove all non essential build tasks.

* Added ai_ignore_was_human console command for toggling ai passiveness after taking over a human controller empire on/off.
* Added complex_trigger_modifier to mtth functions: now you can use complex_trigger_modifier = { trigger = num_favors parameters = { who = from } trigger_scope = owner mode = add potential = { <triggers> } } in places where you could use modifier = { factor = 1 <triggers> }.

* Added skip_federation_cooldowns console command.
* Easier mod overwriting of objects that dynamically add modifiers.
* Enabled further mathematical operations in many modifier = { factor = x } fields. The full list is now: set, mult/factor, add, subtract, divide, modulo, round_to, round = yes, floor = yes, ceiling, max, min, abs = yes (all taking a number on the right, except where otherwise specified)
* Enabled scripted localization for base scopes, meaning that "Root." is no longer needed in some localization strings.
* Enabled the use of the "distance" trigger in script maths (e.g. export_trigger_value_to_variable).
* Exposed the default megastructure portrait key as a define.
* Extensive defines to modify the math around the planetary ascension.
* Fixed a number of potential crashes on startup due to interactions between the load order and a number of effects and triggers.
* Fixed a tooltip crash firing a nonexistent event.
* Fixed a variety of issues with the use of variables as multipliers in triggered resource tables.
* Fixed ambient objects' scale_to_size making ambient objects appear a different size the first time you looked at a solar system than subsequent times.
* Fixed crash when closing TweakerGUI.
* Fixed issues where mods overwriting objects (e.g. jobs) that dynamically add modifiers would cause issues where the added modifiers would not work.
* Fixed station_modifier and triggered station modifiers on starbase modules or buildings, not immediately applying their effects upon construction.
* In value-based triggers where you would say e.g. num_pops > 32, you can now no longer say num_pops > from, but you can instead say num_pops > from.trigger:num_pops. This change was doing for technical reasons, to save on memory usage by not saving two event targets in each trigger.
* Often-reused scripted effects and triggers will now no longer show misleading file locations in error logs.
* Renamed election cost modifier country_election_influence_cost_mult to country_election_cost_mult to not reference influence, as it now costs unity.
* Replaced the modification boolean flag for traits with the additional triggers species_possible_add, species_possible_merge_add and species_possible_merge_remove.
* Stopped some weight/chance fields inexplicably returning 1 even when script said the base should be 0.
* Variables that accepted "trigger:<trigger>" now also accept "modifier:<modifier>".
* You can no longer use "count" in any_x triggers. You should use count_x instead (which uses much better code).
* You can now again specify that a leader made with clone_leader is an event leader (or immortal).
* You can now use count_x script lists in export_trigger_value_to_variable.
* You can now use script values in ships' empire_limit.
*AI economic plan and AI build plan tooltip now shows sub plans and the current income targets, also now able to name sub plans.
* Job reassignment reworked to reevaluate between each change, this means that you can now script more dynamic job weight behaviors without causing mass migration of pops from one job to another. For example, you can base energy credit weight based on empire deficit/surplus or you can base amenities job weight on the planet amenity level.


Certaines des entrées sont notées “Bêta” car modifiées suite à vos retours durant cette période. Cette période a été un grand succès et grâce à vous et vos propositions nous avons pu significativement améliorer le jeu.

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide. Il est maintenant nécessaire de se tourner vers le futur.

Le cycle de la mise à jour 3.3 :

Aujourd’hui sort la version 3.3.2 qui corrige quelques soucis notamment des problèmes de localisation et quelques crash que vous nous avez remonté.
La version 3.3.3 est à suivre très prochainement afin de corriger les derniers bugs problématiques.

Spoiler:
Fixed localization issues affecting articles in French, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese
Fixes a crash that would occur when attempting to apply a species template to a species with a different amount of traits than what is in the template.
Fixed species template application trait add/remove checks being inverted.


Nouveaux joueurs et tutoriel :

Stellaris n’est pas le jeu le plus facile à prendre en main (NdT : la bonne blague). Ne soyez donc pas surpris si nous adaptons le tutoriel et l’expérience de jeu préliminaire. Nous allons recueillir plus d’éléments sur ce sujet et essayer divers changements.

Vers la 3.4 :

La mise à jour 3.4 pointe déjà le bout de son nez. Du côté de l’équipe Custode nous allons continuer nos manipulations sur l’unité et répondre à vos retours lors de la bêta. Nous travaillons aussi sur le nouveau système de troubles comme décrit dans le carnet n°234. Un carnet spécifique pour cette nouvelle mécanique viendra dans le futur.

Espionnage et influence :

Avec la sortie de la 3.3, l’influence est devenue la ressource principale de vos actions extérieures comme la diplomatie, l’expansion de votre empire et les portes.
De nombreux commentaires lors de la bêta suggérait d’utiliser l’influence afin de lancer les missions d’espionnage et c’est ce que nous allons faire avec la mise à jour de mai.
Par exemple, acquérir de nouveaux agents coûtera 45 d’influence initialement plutôt que 450 crédits (les valeurs peuvent encore changer).


L’influence est en violet, l’espionnage aussi. Comment réfuter cet argument?

L’arbre de tradition Subterfuge profite aussi de certains changements. La tradition “Agent double” vous en procurera un en plus d’augmenter votre niveau d’infiltration maximum de 10.

Connu mais sans nom, familier mais sans visage.

Des bonus de combat vont aussi s’ajouter afin de représenter la spécialisation de votre empire dans le champ de la guerre électronique. Vous aurez le droit à un bonus de ciblage et d’évasion pour vos vaisseaux.

Signal reçu, cible acquise.


Faites le mort, éteignez tout et disparaissons dans le vide de l’espace.

Comme dit précédemment, ces chiffres peuvent encore changer d’ici la sortie de la mise à jour. Il est aussi prévu de revoir les opérations d’espionnage dans le futur.

Amélioration du civisme Fleuraison Idyllique :

Prévu aussi pour la mise à jour de Mai, le civisme Fleuraison Idyllique se verra amélioré. Actuellement les ensemenceurs Gaïa ne fonctionnent que sur des planètes au climat proche de votre biome idéal ce qui mène à une nécessaire première terraformation avant de pouvoir utiliser ce bâtiment spécial. Ainsi nous allons lier la capacité de terraformation des ensemenceurs à vos technologies de terraformation
Ils seront constructibles immédiatement sur les planètes au climat proche de votre monde d’origine comme précédemment mais vous pourrez aussi les construire sur des planètes avec d’autre type de climat (sec, humide ou froid) une fois la technologie de sculptures terrestres débloquées. Ensuite pour les niveaux les plus avancés il vous faudra d’autres technologies comme adaptation écologique voir restauration climatique si vous avez l’ambition de transformer un monde tombeau. Les coûts d'entretien ont été revus afin de prendre en compte cette nouvelle capacité de terraformation.


C’est tout de suite plus facile.


Une fois que l’on saura comment faire.

Quoi d’autre ?​

À propos du travail de l’équipe Crise (NdT : l’équipe qui gère les extensions et non les mises à jour comme l’équipe Custode), ils sont bientôt prêts à vous parler des nouveautés qui arriveront pour Stellaris.
L’un de nos agents à tout de même pu se procurer un concept de l’équipe artistique.


Une structure étrange, avec des pattes? Cela change tout.

S'en est fini des carnets de la mise à jour 3.3, mais ceux de la 3.4 arrive déjà et ils promettent beaucoup. En attendant rendez-vous sur le forum pour en savoir plus.
