Please use this thread to ask your questions regarding Endless Space. From newbies to pros, vs AI or multiplayer, this is the place to ask!
First please check out the wiki first to see existing resources.
Make sure you provide as much information as possible regarding your game if you need help - your faction, level and game settings, number of opponents, expansions enabled, etc. Screenshots are most helpful!

Hey everyone! I apologize for being a bit late posting this, but the patch u/Ninak0ru and I have been working on is out in full, translated and everything! Just as a reminder, my contract working with Amplitude has ended so I don't currently have any sway over the game. If you find any issues, please make sure to post them on Amplifiers!
As always, I am happy to answer questions in the comments. Anyways, here are the full patch notes-- hope you all enjoy, happy holidays!
Nakalim Rebalance

For context, I play the game vanilla no mods with Penumbra DLC always off. The other DLCs I can take it or leave it. I play with pretty standard settings on Endless Difficulty.
1. Vodyani
2. Riftborn
3. United Empire
4. Vaulters
5. Horatio
6. Unfallen
7. Nakalim
8. Lumeris
9. Sophons
10. Cravers
11. Hissho
I want to know everyone else’s thoughts. Maybe you all can present new information to me that can change my mind about the strengths and weaknesses of some of these factions.

Do we know whether all of Horatio's clones are male? Clone in the literal sense would imply that, but in theory, there is genetic material to make female Horatios.
I wonder about this because i want to play a Rimworld playthrough as a lone Horatio starting to multiply his ranks by cloning. But without women to extract ovums from, this is likely going to be impossible without mods.

Hello. I am trying to figure out who is the leader of each factions so I can use ESP Hero Designer to create a hero of each of them for usage in the game but also use them in TTRPG since the game itself is the backdrop of the TTRPG that I am planning with my group. I am gathering information from the game that I was able to play and gleam but I did not complete every faction quest to the full, I read the comic and wikia. This is what I end up with but there is confusion and error that I don't mind corrections.
Also for Sophons. I notice this bit in the game introduction. Ahhrar Neeydim, Proctor of Future Research at Rowahb University suggests AI to run the Sophonity empire. Leading to creation of Enhanced Neuro-Flexible Entity Research or ENFER for short.
But in the Sophons comic, A female Sophons name Dr. Indrhria came up with concept for ENFER. So I am not sure if Ahhrar is same person or if someone is stealing or they so smart that they create same concept anyway.

Returned to the game after some years, and oh god alliances are still annoying AF, is there a way to just either disable them (through modding or settings, IDK), or a way to micromanage your AI allies? I am really tired of restarting all the wars and invasions every damn turn
r/EndlessSpace • u/Necrorifter • 5d ago
From what I saw. You have to edit this.
<Diplomacy>
<Alliance>
<MaxEmpires>Floor($(MajorEmpiresCount) * 0.5)</MaxEmpires>
</Alliance>
In Contents/Public/Registry.xml
In order to do that.

But I want to see if there is another better way to do that before I resort to this method.

Decided to comeback to Endless Space 2 some weeks ago, and started noticing that a windows terminal opens and closes every time I run the game, is this normal?
r/EndlessSpace • u/Zeon_Tempestborn • 7d ago
Ive had alot of trouble with keeping influence due to heavy losses by overcolonisation. Is the lumeris meta negatively affected by having a large chunk of the galaxy?
r/EndlessSpace • u/VonZant • 7d ago
I have not played. Want to play. I could not play earlier game without my Mod Better AI Empires because AI was too easy. But I think there has been a lot of balance changes since then. Are there newer good AI mods?
So questions:
Is AI still anemic? Do they invade?
Does AI still Auto Retreat too much?
Is AI weak early game? Late?
Are any extra weak or Strong now? Do Vodyani still stink?
Does Horatio still -- Horatio?
Any other things stand out as needing addressing?

My group (3 of us) want to get into this ES2 and were wondering if it's worth it solely to play multiplayer with each other?
r/EndlessSpace • u/ChungWuEggwua • 11d ago
After playing Endless Legend 2 for a few weeks, I’m feeling underwhelmed after the initial euphoria of experiencing a new game. Honestly, I feel like EL2 is a downgrade from ES2 in a lot of ways, but one of which is bothering me the most right now is lack of personality in EL2 compared to ES2.
In Endless Space 2, every character is iconic and there are many incredible voice lines. No character is dull and I never get tired of hearing the characters talk to me. In Endless Legend 2, the characters barely talk and they are more uninteresting to say the least.
Does anyone else feel this way too?

I've played the base game with a friend a year ago and while we would randomly desync at times it was very rare. Today we tried playing with some dlcs enabled and we got desynced at turn 30, and when we tried to resolve it by reloading we would just go a couple more turns and it would desync again. Is there any fix for this? maybe a mod? We bought all the dlcs but disabled penumbra and awakening for this game if that matters.
EDIT: to clarify it's not just a desync that we can ignore, the game either 1) gets stuck for me trying to generate a desync report. 2) kicks him out for some reason. 3) leaves him in and eventually he can't really do anything like add to the construction queue or edit ships.

My first time playing after 9 years, I'm doing okay. Not the first place by score (third but close enough). Normal difficulty, normal speed. No war so far.
What I notice is that starting from early-mid game (turn 50-100), I have so much FIDSI. Not sure if it's because I use Vaulters, but I can see that the other factions that mainly uses something else will also experience abundance.
Here's what I think is "bad". Every resource (FIDSI) here is interchangeable. Have so much production? Build every building that increase all your FIDSI. Have so much science? Can finish anything in a few (or one) turn, then modify your planet or build powerful buildings. Have no money? Sell resources, easy 20k every time. Have no production? Buyout everything.
This exploits are creating a loop that is strengthening each other. By mid game the gameplay will become so fast everything can be done in just a few (or one) turns. Is this the intended experience? Or this is an unintended consequences of how the base mechanics is built?
I see that late game with abundance like this can be used wars. Create/buyout ships and just launch it to dominate the galaxy. But I can see the challenge are diminishing at this point.
What do you guys think?
r/EndlessSpace • u/Giannibee • 14d ago
Hey everyone!
So I need your help, because just as the title says I'm falling behind on the Sandbox Difficulty.
Now I have only the easiest AI Empires enabled and I'm not exactly new these kind of games.
And still: everytime I play an AI Empire has 200 or more points than me.
I usually settle much in early game, going 1 over the limit.
What am I doing wrong? Do you have any tipps?
Edit: I'm playing ES 2, the gap usually widens over time.

Bonus question - Why do AI sometimes just ignore closed borders?
r/EndlessSpace • u/Valmighty • 15d ago
I know that double line means unique improvement and triple golden means wonder. But what does a single line border in Research Cities and Budakai Bunker mean?
The only thing I can think of is unique to trait (Metafolding), but Metafolding also has Luxuries Lottery, which doesn't have any border.
r/EndlessSpace • u/Valmighty • 15d ago
Is this quest bugged? From the first turn I get this quest, I'm always in the negative (9th rank out of 9 players). I never had negative dust per turn and when I highlight the dust generation, the number doesn't make sense at all (everything is positive except military upkeep).
r/EndlessSpace • u/Nervous_Trainer_82 • 16d ago
I was playing as Umbral Choir and was at peace and friendly with Horatio and Vaulter and Unfallen for a long time. Suddenly, when it was nearly turn 100 in normal speed, Horatio give me free red strategic resources out of nowhere. Later the Vaulter give me free 163 antimatter and said 'this only feel right' without asking me for anything, Unfallen also give me some resources and keep spamming diplomatic message of how they appreciate me every 2 turns. I mean I playing as pacifist and havent declare any wars for the most of the game and give free 5 transvine once to everyone that discovered me, I guess my first impression is that good
I did not use any mods btw

Not sure why the Ai decided to do it, im ahead in the game by miles
r/EndlessSpace • u/Necrorifter • 18d ago
In ENFER Local Host. I see three options for AI in ExecutionMode. Deactivated, Full and Minimal. Deactivated is obvious, meaning no AI control so you have to swap into it to command it. I notice that you should not do this for minor faction as it seem to lock the game as soon as you try to end turn, stuck in pending.
Full is default and regular.
Minimal... surprisingly, doesn't seem to do anything different from Full. I thought it might control the research, building, etc but leave fleet control to you or other way around... yet there is no difference.
So I am wondering if you guys know what exactly does minimal do in ENFER?
Maybe it just determine behavior/decision tree where full actually think it through and minimal just try to get it out as soon as it can without thinking if it fitting or good choice?
r/EndlessSpace • u/Eothr_Silan • 19d ago
Just for fun, what are some Hulls that you would hope to see added to the blueprints to try and mitigate some of the excess micromanagement? I have 3:
Skimmer - Small Hull
• Avaliable at game start
• No Defense Slots
• Extra Movement Trait (like Explorers)
• Increased Evasion Trait
• Exclusive modules that allow stealth or squadron counter
• Unique Tier 4 Research that makes each Skimmer Hull 0.5 CP
Freighter - Medium Hull
• No Weapon Slots but upgrade will allow 1 or 2 Squadron Slots based on Faction
• Decreased Aggro Trait
• Fleet Health Bonus Trait
• Exclusive modules for increased fleet repair and Faction specific modules that allow for non-combat strategies (ex. Lumeris Freighter orbiting opposing Empire and passively generating Dust in 70/30 split)
Battlecruiser - Heavy Hull
• No Squadron Slots
• Hull and Shield Absorbtion Bonus Trait
• Increased Aggro Trait
• Each Faction includes one locked Heavy Weapon (ex. Riftborn with Planet Cracker) with more Slots for Heavy Weapon after Upgrade
• Each Faction has Exclusive modules that make Battlecruiser represent their Faction (ex. United Empire provides morale bonus unless opposing Fleet is 3x more in CP instead of 2x)
Thoughts?
r/EndlessSpace • u/Valmighty • 20d ago
Researched Aurigan Shielding. It has "Advanced Scanners" and "Basic Fold Drive". How do I use those? I can't find it in the ship building part of the military screen.
