Stellaris Tech Rush (2024)

FAQs

What is the highest tech level in Stellaris? ›

Technologies are divided into 6 levels (T0 to T5) of advancement. Higher tier technologies require obtaining a certain number of technologies from the preceding tier in the same area of research (set at 6 for all tiers) before they become available as research alternatives.

Insight Technologies are gained when you study pre-FTLs without making them aware of you. They are unique paths their society take which you have dismissed as dead ends. This is all tracked through a situation which, once completed, will make a future observation event grant you a new Insight.

Space Torpedoes has no prerequisites to research, though Stellaris' semi-random tech choices may mean that players don't get a chance to start it for some time. Playing as an Empire with the Militarist Ethic will increase the odds of Space Torpedoes appearing, as will a Scientist with the Propulsion Expert Trait.

This area provides access to several key points, including: new ship classes and starbase upgrades, strategic resources reveal, kinetic & explosive weapons, robotic pops, machine modification capabilities, improved mineral production & storage, and more.

When focusing on the main objectives, Stellaris is about 31½ Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 337 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

Players take the role of a single FTL-capable civilization, referred to as an empire, with the goal of exploring and claiming systems, colonizing habitable planets, and expanding their economy to outcompete rival civilizations progressively encountered through first contact events.

Those resources include consumer goods for early colony ships, energy credits, and alloys. Both are crucial for a space-faring civilization to be able to keep up with the evolving galaxy.

I have also noticed that Stellaris uses "ISS" by default. If I'm not mistaken, "ISS" stands for either "International Space Station", or (in the case of ships and fleets) it could mean "International Space Ship".

If you are fighting a large empire, multiple fleets of gunboats and interceptor corvettes are ideal with large numbers and perhaps 1-2 cruisers in said fleet, with a battleship and its escorts being your head fleet to bombard worlds and escort transport fleets.

The best way to use destroyers is as picket ships, designed to intercept enemy strike craft and missiles. This is a role they excel in because with the Picket Ship Bow and Stem equipped, destroyers offer three-point-defense slots, more than any other ship in the game.

What is the max ship capacity in Stellaris? ›

Maximum Naval Capacity may never exceed 9999 but empires can still build over it as long as their economy supports the upkeep costs. Titans have a strict build limit, with a base of 1 allowed per empire; every 200 Naval Capacity increases an empire's Titan cap by 1, up to a maximum of 20 Titans at 3800 naval capacity.

First: explore and survey everything. Build a few extra science ships, it's well worth it. Ignore all anomalies and dig sites. Ignore all special projects unless they are time sensitive.

Mega-Engineering - Requires the Citadel, Battleships, and Zero Point Power technologies. Unlocks all advanced Megastructure technologies, grants the ability to restore ruined Megastructures, and allows restoration of a Quantum Catapult, which functions a little like a one-way Gateway.

Each planetary ascension tier increases the effects of the planet designation by 25% and reduces size from the colony by 5%, which includes pops, districts and the colony itself.

By default, leaders start at level 1 and can increase to level 5. The skill level cap can be increased to a max level of 10 through various traditions, traits, civics, and the leader enhancement policy.

Each additional Ascension Perk you unlock increases the maximum Ascension Tier by 1, with an extra 4 tiers unlocked once you unlock all of the Perk slots. This lets you Ascend planets up to ten times, for a maximum bonus of 250% of the base Planetary Designation effects.

The base maximum infiltration level is 50. Maximum infiltration can also be increased by various factors, as shown in the table on the right, as well as the Gather Information operation, which temporarily raises the maximum infiltration level by +5 (stackable to a maximum of +20).

Titans have a strict build limit, with a base of 1 allowed per empire; every 200 Naval Capacity increases an empire's Titan cap by 1, up to a maximum of 20 Titans at 3800 naval capacity. Offspring ships have a strict build limit too: Every 10 Naval Capacity increases Offspring Corvette cap by 1.
