Reply No-Tie-4819 Fanatic Materialist •. The fact that the empires would rather eat massive sanctions instead of taking Utopian Abundance (that I'm willing to fund, goddamnit, free of charge) is. I have not done a lot of ethics shifting and I know becoming emperor auto shifts you to authoritarian, but after rewatching the megacorp trailer I decided I wanted to be a better employer and give everyone in the corporation the best living standards possible. Change all species living standards to utopian abundance. This mod allows for Galactic Empire have Utopian Abundance species living conditions, except Megacorp GA. Utopian Abundance Empires have significant strategic and compositional differences from others- among which being perfectly flat political power structures (very significant implication for the galactic community resolutions and wars of expansion),. Also early conquests can be hard to stabilise without a lot of consumers goods to spare. The setup isnt good though, you would have massive unemployment, need to throw in a bunch of rank2 trade-centers (each giving 11 jobs) instead of the luxury housing, unless you are on utopian abundance standard of living. I am however, RPing as the kind of lawful neutral, where I have Utopian Abundance for all, open refugee programs and strict neutrality. ok that's not the point. It may seem counterintuitive given that you will be struggling with Consumer Goods at the beginning, but the sooner you can get your pops on UA, the better, since faction unity is a function of living standards and if you can take advantage of. It gives almost exactly the same benefits but costs fewer Consumer Goods. Utopian Abundance has extra hidden benefits, pops will produce (a lot) more passive trade value, the high stability will further increase the trade value. ╔ My Twitch channel: Website with my Schedule: Stellaris is a 4x grand strategy space game. 1 per pop. 4 trade. This build explodes through the tradition trees while still having lots of energy. Also, this prevents the ruining of buildings due to falling below the pop requirement. Utopian abundance increases happiness thus attracting immigrants. Pops under Utopian Abundance have a political power of 1, while under something like Stratified Economy your rulers have *10. In our world people tend to migrate towards countries or areas with higher standards of living so why not in stellaris. Stellaris’s answer to the nordic model is the social welfare living standard. but they instead did. But, because political power was unbalanced, unity gained from factions was unbalanced.
