Is there a way to completely reset the game?

[Zenith]

My fleet manager has gone absolutely off the rails insane, and actively sabotages any fleet composition I can possibly put together.
Neither mods, or DLCs or any other outside problem is causing this, since when I turned everything off, and was left with only vanilla stellaris left, the bug still persisted.


So I ask, how, or even if, there is a way to bring the entirety of the game back to square one?

What exactly do you mean with "My fleet manager has gone absolutely off the rails insane"?
Technically you could simply reinstall the game, but that might not solve whatever issue you have.

[Zenith]

What I mean is, whenever I design a new ship, for some unholy reason, EVERY SINGLE SHIP, of that class, will be converted to the new type.
If I have a fleet with 20 picket corvettes in it, and decide to design a PD corvette, than every single corvette in that fleet as well as all others I currently have, will be given an option to upgrade to the new type, even if I never ordered a retrofit.
I would post screenshots of the bug in action, but I don't think one can do it here.

Also, no, reinstalling the game doesn't work, neither does checking the integrity of the files.
My game is just irreperably broken.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say it's likely because you, at some point, had the auto-designer activated.

The easy solution, if you haven't already, is to simply de-activate the autodesigner. Then, make your new ship designs. Likely, you'll be asked to upgrade your existing ships to those new designs. But thereafter, your ships should upgrade correctly.

You can easily post screenshots taken ingame and upload to Steam here.

Bad timing for this question, but how in the hells does one do that?

[Nightmyre]

I think it's something along the lines of hitting F12 while ingame to take the screenshot, and then going to your screenshot manager in steam and uploading those screenshots to your steam cloud. Once they're in the cloud, you can view them to see their URL, and copy-paste the URL here. It'll automatically recognize the fact that it's an image, and display it as an image here.

What he said, and don't forget to set the screenshot as public.

[Elitewrecker PT]

Going back to the question. You give those new designs different names? Do the old designs disappear from the ship designer?

delete ALL files in your stellaris folder. Then verify files. If that doesn't fix it's a dev sided glitch.

[Isokon]

It's not quite clear from your screenshots, but are you replacing the existing Nimcha design with your Yennenga design? If yes, then don't do that if you still have ships of that design in your fleet that you want to stay that way. Create your Yennenga-Class as a separate design that you can then add to the fleet in the manager.

[Elitewrecker PT]

Ok so, I'm not seeing anything particularly wrong in those screenshots. When you saved that yenenga design it didn't show up as a second design?

Welp.
Just did that.
Even though the entire thing was back to square one, the bug was still there.
I can only guess that god is testing my patience.

[sortulf]

Lets see you are saving the new designs using the same name as the old design, correct?
So from the games pov, this is a direct upgrade. Give the new designs new names.

[Zenith]

See, I GIVE, the designes new names.
But the game automatically wants to upgrade every single ship of that class, to the new design.
In game, whenever you design a new ship type, the design appears below the older ones, my fleet designer, for whatever reason, wants there to only ever be the one at the bottom of the list, meaning that having any true fleet composition is practically impossilbe.
Sooner or later, the fleet manager starts to display wrong info, showing 0/20 corvettes of one class, whilst showing that the other have 40/20 and it's only down hill from there.
