Tutorial ain't great, best to play with somebody else who knows the game - As they can teach you mechanics that the tutorial doesn't really show you.

Also doesn't help that each new DLC they add something else that's annoying to keep track of

Like the fucking archeology site shit

Pretty much just play it, my
Tip if focus on economy first and last thing you should learn is military since it requires a good economy (USUALLY)

Pretty much just play it, my
Tip if focus on economy first and last thing you should learn is military since it requires a good economy (USUALLY)

imo there are 3 main sectors that i deal with in my empires

main economy
production economy
specialised economy

technology

military

main economy
energy credits, minerals and food mainly, the vitals for ur empire otherwise ur toast, generally minerals are easiest as they're found in abundance in systems and i usually end up with more than i can remember how i got, food is important for pop growth so keep a stockpile at all times

production economy
consumer goods + alloys, since these depend on ur main ecomomy, minerals = consumer goods + alloys

specialised economy
strategic resources that usually come into play 2250+ depending on ur tech level, once u get these they can be good for starship technologies and level 2 buildings like labs n shit, but remember that once u get these resources, ur economy will become reliant on them as they'll act as a normal resource wherein if u hit 0, you will suffer empire wide penalties

technology
depending on ur playthrough, this is very important, primary source is research labs and stations but some players may choose to use a science nexus

military
again, if u want to conquer others which can be a good idea (i usually make an empire my tributary to support later wars- u get 25% of their energy and minerals, then protectorate them later if possible and integrate), if u want to play aggressively and dont want to deal with claims, u can start as an authoritarian and demand vassalization/tribute which will trigger a war where u practically have to occupy the enemy's entire empire. status quo on subjugation wars will release the space you own as a new empire that is either a tributary or vassal of ur empire depending on ur war goal

i usually play authoritarian fanatic materialist because it's fun and has some roleplay ability too =)

Alternativelly you can be a masochist and play as a purifier or devouring swarm and have a migraine cause the AI keeps sending colony ship out and the only way to end the war is kill them all

The late game is being optimized (thank god) We can finally commit early contact genocide pleasantries, and sectors might be getting a re-work/fix? Also, empires will have fog of war sort of at first, to reveal how big they are, so no more trade 1 communication and see half the other side of the galaxy flash onto your eyes with 7 different colors.

I didn't say it was hard

Just annoying, the game already expects you to keep track of so many things

maybe you would have less to worry about if u just became another empire's vassal, blackquill
