Stellaris - Lithoids: Species Pack is now available for pre-order.

The Lithoids Species Pack features a selection of new rock-based species portraits and ship models for players who take nothing for granite and are looking to unearth a more grounded civilization. Lithoids are a bigger and boulder species type made entirely of sapient rock who eat minerals for sustenance, are long-lived, and can colonize in almost any environment.

Stellaris: Federations is coming soon.

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. With the Stellaris: Federations expansion, players can extend their diplomatic dominion over the galaxy like never before. Use every trick in the book to gain an edge on friend and foe alike, with a host of new options to influence, manipulate, and dominate without firing a shot.

Come on, "Stellaris: Apocalypse" has a hell of a trailer.
PDS, man your battle stations, do your best!

Stellaris: Federations looks really interesting, something people have been asked for! Nice purchases!

I for had only bought the original game, with no DLCs, will probably grab one for the first ones. Any suggestions folks for my first Stellaris DLCs'?

I'm leaning towards 'Leviathans' for my first Stellaris DLC. It reminds me a bit too much of one of the greatest Sci-fi TV shows: Babylon 5 ( Vorlons vs. Shadows storyline, etc).

Utopia and Apocalypse are usually at the top of recommendations of what to get first. Megacorp is also pretty good. Most of the species packs can be ignored, since they are cosmetic (apart from the new Lithoid pack that has some special mechanics tied to that species).

Synthetic Dawn is robot focused, so also a cool one to get, but the first three mentioned above are the most value for money (in that they unlock a wider range of options across a greater variety of species/playstyles).

Ancient Relics is also a really nice addition (adds all sorts of events and the relic system for more interesting exploration).

Can pretty much Google it for more indepth opinions.

Thank you for your thought out post! Yeah, I'll ignore the species packs and focus on the story-driven DLC ones. I'll see if 'Leviathans' also live up to my Babylon 5 expectations. :)

Cheers!

More DLCs. Meh. Will wait when the game is finally complete.

Utopia or Leviathans are middle to late game option... Leviathans adds some special shopping which is nice in the early game so most people grab that first

and Apocalypse is the end game... you can play a few times before the ending gets boring mate

grab the free ones too

So, even more DLC for this game. Too bad that the current version of Stellaris is a dumbed down dumpster fire with a far dumber AI than 1.9.

This one is looking like EU4 or CK2. Never ending. At best, you can only hope that Pdx stops changing the core gameplay like they did with 2.0 release or whatever the version was where they removed various types of travel, among other things.

I don't understand all that whining. Even without any patience to wait for a decent sale, following Stellaris is significantly cheaper than following WoW in the days. And with Stellaris I have the feeling it moves more and in more interesting ways than WoW ever did. And if the day comes where I'm no longer happy with it, I don't have to buy the new stuff and there is official support for playing at whatever old version you were happy with...

Stellaris is kinda middle of the road in that respect. If your frame of reference is something like World of Warcraft then it's great value. If your frame of reference is 2-year-old indie games on sale for half off then pretty much nothing is going to compete with a complete game experience for under $20. There's a whole spectrum there, and Stellaris fits in somewhere in the middle. It's definitely not a value game, but nor is it a wallet-killer.

If you have a good suggestion for something Stellaris-like from indie devs, I'm more than open to it. I have spent a lot of time (and money) looking for something to fill the hole MoO/MoO2 left open and Stellaris is really the only thing willing to stick.

I'm aware that you can spend a lot of less money to have a damn lot of fun (Train Valley 2 comes to mind), but I require a lot of different stimuli and some of them are difficult to scratch using indie means. DRM-free is pretty much the only hard requirement.

The problem is that the devs treat Stellaris like a Early Access title and change core gameplay mechanics on a whim so that the end game looks absolutely nothing like the game at launch. Stellaris 1.9 vs. 2.0 being the prime example that cost Paradox 40% of their playerbase, was the worst rated patch from Paradox in history, and led Paradox to have four consecutive sales of Stellaris in a 3 month timeframe to try and get back the lost population.
