Right now i have almost everything automated. And the best part, you can automate the AI to do anything you want. Its got a bit of a learning curve, but the reward is well worth it.

But not too much as to make it overwhelming. Its more grounded in reality as to what running a galactic empire would feel like. Private ships are paid for by the private economy, and that pool of money goes directly to you! that sweet sweet tax income thats only a fraction of your income. In my current game ive only colonized 5 worlds, but i have almost 400 transports flying all over my sectors just doing their thing. Mining ships that can fly out and mine anything without a mining base, passenger transports to move pops between worlds. They build all the freighters that move resources between planets. You have an entire private sector you cant control. But if you have the gas, you can swoop in and wreck things.Įconomy? Buckle up. You may have to make a few jumps between stars because engines can only go so far per jump. Want to go straight for your enemies capital in a war? Go for it. The only limit to space travel is the fuel you carry on board. Gotta explore every one of them, then throw down a mining station if it contains enough minerals to justify the expense. Want 15 different star base designs? sure why not? Look at all them asteroids in your system. Want to customize your mining stations down to the very last mining engine? its got you covered. Heres a handful of races to play, pick one, choose a government, go! You like resources? It has a ton of various ones that will all be used in the building of your empire. Start up a game, lots of galaxy options to choose from, which is nice. Tool tips and explanations? Heres an in game wiki that may not contain or explain all your questions. BUT, its also been out for a while and its not even close to the game it was at launch.ĭW2 is an entirely different beast. By that I mean it takes you through all the steps of designing an empire, throwing you into a starting world, how to move pops around and the economy has been distilled down the the important bits that make things run. That being said, Stellaris plays in a very streamlined way. If you like the stories, exploration and such with Stellaris, you cant go wrong with DW2. I'm a Stellaris fan and love both it and Distant Worlds for different reasons.
