Sun crusher in ISB

[leonhartlover]

I can't figure out how to use the sun crusher. I checked off the edicts, etc. The crusher is hovering in orbit around a star. But... nothing. What do?

what is a sun crusher and how do i get it

[NixBoxDone]

It's part of the ISB Doomsday weapon mod - just click on Stellaris in your library and then on the workshop in the window to the right and search for doomsday.

It offers a variety of new extra large ships and entities to build, inspired by the Death Star and other such planet killers we are as of yet missing in the base game.

But be aware: the AI in Stellaris is actually pretty good at building most mod stuff, too, so you may face some of those doomsday weapons yourself. ^^

If i remember correctly you have to disband it when its in orbit around the star (but i cant be sure since its been a while since i played with the mod)

I had trouble with this recently as well. As said, get it in orbit, turn on Authorize Sun Crusher edict, and disband the sun crusher

Yep. Used it to crush a fallen empire fleet, about 19b strong. Didn't even wanna eat that empire, it just had so many ships it was lagging the game so I had to crush them.

Pretty fun strategy:
Build your main fleets as usual.
Attack enemy empire, put everything in one system.
Have sun crusher ready to go.
Wait for the superior enemy fleet to arrive (they will, they take time).
Retreat everything you can but the sun crusher.
Boom.
(Be prepared to lose a few fleets. I had to sacrifice two fleets to ensure my sun crusher stayed alive for 15d (time to retreat my other fleets)

Also as I'm sure you know, the sun crusher is slow as balls

Use the spear... more fun! there is a mod that allows glassed worlds to be terraformed back to normals...

Don't disband it over the star, thats not how you use it. Thats how you start to build.

...You disband the "sun crusher" over a star, that starts the event. Make sure you have nothing in that system you want to keep, everything is destroyed. Also, it has a serious negative impact for diplomacy.

I cant wait to see what they do once the dlc hits ^^.

I just keep getting activation failed whenever I try to use it.

[Gafwmn]

Look in your policy or edicts for the outlaw / allow doomsday weapons .
