Finally, the time has come! Stellaris fans have been able to enjoy the release of the First Contact Story Pack for a week now. So far, only positive experiences and exciting stories have been reported. The developers at Paradox Interactive have managed to release an extremely stable version of Stellaris with Canis Minor. In the past, it was often criticized that the game would not run stably enough, but this has now been optimized.
Even the game's built-in error detection system was called into question as there were hardly any crashes. The only bug was that the Great Filter became almost impenetrable if left unobserved. To solve some of the issues, the developers released a hotfix package (3.7.3). Among other things, this fixed the problem with pre-FTL atomic bombs, which no longer self-destruct if left unobserved. Find out what to expect in the upcoming 3.7.4 version:
Stellaris 'Canis Minor' 3.7.4 Sneak Peek
In the new patch version 3.7.4, the problem of a Payback Empire ending a war with the MSI with a whisper instead of the planned End-Threat war goal will be fixed. Additionally, the Grand Herald will receive Archeo-Tech components, and the MSI bonus will be expanded to include additional starting technologies and ship capacities. Those who have their sights set on Hive-Minds with Cordycepic Drones and Stargazers will be pleased to know that they will start with three reanimated amoebas. The Raise Awareness espionage operation will also prevent the pre-FTL detection from being dismantled on its own for five years. With these changes, the Stellaris developers aim to improve the gaming experience and provide players with exactly what they want.
For those who are interested, a StellARTis competition allows them to demonstrate their expertise. First-contact-inspired paintings can be posted on the forum until April 3, and the Stellaris art department will award prizes. Paradox Interactive also relies on feedback from its community. Whether it's praise or criticism, both are more than welcome. Those who want to be involved in the development of Stellaris can participate in the user research survey or get involved in the feedback thread on AI diplomacy.
The next big news coming to Stellaris is the upcoming Gemini patch. Nesting Concepts will be added, which will give you even more possibilities. Stellaris continues to expand, and fans are eager to see what's next.
