Cyborg pops transforming into wrong race

[Burger McFries]

My main species is being replaced by hivemind elves after cyberization. They dont work and my economy is trashed. Reproducible after loading a save game. I'm not running many mods, WTF is happening?

You're still running mods, so that's your issue, right there

That's not very helpful. Besides, this game is almost unplayable without them.

It is helpful because the issue you're having doesn't occur in the vanilla game.
If you mod your game, it is up to you to check that the mods you're using are compatible not only with the games but with one another.

Nobody around here is going to guess which mods you're using and provide any solution.
How many is "not many"? 2? 5? 29?
What mods are we talking about? Minor ones that add namelists? Or massive ones like Gigastructures which completely overhaul the game?

Check your modlist and try to understand which one is causing the issue.
If you can't disable them all and start readding them one or two at a time, until the issue pops back up.

You are 100% wrong. On both accounts.

Thanks, but I've been modding for probably longer than you've been alive. I'm not convinced it's my mods.

However I found the solution. Thanks to Rubber_Duck in this thread, the solution is as follows:
'add_trait_species 1 trait_cybernetic' with 1 being the relevant species ID
'effect add_situation_progress = 100' with 100 jumping the situation by 10% each time

Next time, if you don't have anything helpful to add, maybe don't post?

Jesus H Christ dude!! Calm the F down!!
In the very thread you linked the OP openly stated that he too was using mods.
And since
- it doesn’t happen in vanilla games
- and the common denominator was you both using mods
yes, it seems like mods are indeed causing the issue, regardless of how long you have been modding games or if you’re convinced of it or not.

The fact that you are using a console command to bypass whatever faulty trigger is caused by the mods you’re using doesn’t change that basic fact.

And on a different note, when you post on a public forum asking for help, people are going to reply.
If you don’t want that, or don’t want to listen to other people and/or attempt the solutions proposed, then *you* should follow your advice and maybe don’t post next time.
Use the search function and look for a solution you like.

You dont NEED mods for Stellaris, it not CitySkylines, it very playable without mods and you wont run into any of the issues such as you are experiencing.

UI mods are mandatory.

This is completely false. Having 1300hrs of playtime in Stellaris I went through the first 300 without mods and still had no issue. And most of the mods I have are cosmetic only ie namelists, species, music, some to make the UI easy on my eyes (Including UIOD and a few of its submods), etc. You and I can even turn all of them off right now and keep playing without any issues, this isn't a Bethesda game.

Playing Stellaris is like playing with dolls, just digitally. This is just a species RPG but not a grand strategy game. There are no meaningful and deep mechanics and the AI is beyond braindead. So all you’ve got are species, and twice a year a new DLC for the price of almost a new game with new clothes for your dolls, and new species of your dolls. lol.

I’d also recommend buying analog Barbie dolls next time. At least they’re not as buggy as this game.

Just curious, what is your deal commenting on the Stellaris boards? I read your own and you have issues with this game, and that's fine you are obligated to not to enjoy this game if it does not satisfy you in the slightest. But why continue commenting here? To let off some steam when you could do so playing one of the other two games you linked in your post?

Can’t play Distant Worlds 2 if I’m not at home. Terra Invicta I only bought today and left Steam opened for download and installation.

Still can’t believe that I thought that the Stellaris digital Barbie dolls would improve somehow. All we got are more shallow DLCs with more new dresses for the dolls to wear.

That still doesn't answer my question why you are still here in the first place

It does.

And why aren’t you playing with digital Barbie dolls instead of posting here?

Let me tell you why, because you’re bored of this shallow species RPG too, yet are too proud to admit it.

??

Stellaris isn't the only game I play, I do have other interests when it comes to gaming. And I'm here because I enjoy talking with other people who enjoy this game as much as I do and I want to put in my thoughts and opinions when someone needs help, asks something, or just talking shop about the game we all like.

Again, why are YOU still here, commenting on the discussion boards about a game you strongly dislike? This question has not been answered yet, my only conclusion is that this game brings you extreme dissatisfaction and you want others to feel that way too. I hate the Marvel movies but you don't see me being as pathetic as you.

[Unknown-Alcho-Gamer]

for future reference these discussions/topics very rarely get solved. you will encounter trolls like above who don't add anything to the community at all just trash, and more question marks from others. there ARE golden nuggets of players out there that will help you to the best of their ability. my advice is ignore and not respond to any of the blatant trolls/doushesniffers and look to those that actually offer help

If you've been modding games for that long and still don't understand the pitfalls that come with such playstyle, that just makes you trying to pull the age/experience card all the more pathetic.

This doesn’t make sense. If you enjoy an activity, you do that activity and not a redirection activity to compensate for not doing your favourite activity.

Not understanding this is a you problem. Seriously, there is really no way you cannot understand this concept unless you are that short-sighted and braindead. You think I play only Stellaris? No, if I did I'd suffer burnout, stop enjoying it, and stop playing it. I take breaks from the games I play for 2-3 to play other games for an extended period of time, then I switch to another game and repeat the process. It is really the best way to enjoy gaming as a hobby unless you happen to be part of an e-sports team. Now can you hyperfocus into one game and play that one game only all the time? Sure, if that suits you. But I find that only applies to people on the younger side most of the time. No shame in it, just pointing out an observation.

Originally posted by based and truly redpilled:

You’re here because the game is shallow. It’s not a grand strategy game but a RPG where you role play with species like with Barbies. There are no deep mechanics in-game but just customisation options for your species, like new dresses for your digital Barbies.

What you say about the mechanics is a subjective perspective that only applies to you and those that don'y like what Stellaris offers. I find this game fun and challenging enough to keep me interested when I come back, and the fun amplifies when I up the difficulty. In fact, I had more fun in this game than I did with any of the Civ games. If you want me to give an reason then that's fine, the next WoW expansion is coming out next month so I have been working on getting my characters to max level and geared for when that stuff drops.

The simplicity of Stellaris has a charm that many enjoy, and you are clearly not part of that group. I will repeat this again since you are having trouble understanding this simple solution, but you are obligated in leaving and not playing the game if it does not satisfy you. But it does not make you obligated to come here and post how you find "playing with Barbies" unfun and horrible so you can try ruining the experience for others. You have two other games you linked in your own post so why not play them already? Must have downloaded by now so go ahead, no reason to play Checkers when Chess is an option, right?

Originally posted by based and truly redpilled:

The game is in terms of mechanics so bland and boring that they even had to introduce crises to prevent you from falling asleep.

Also wrong. Paradox introduced the concept of Crisis into Stellaris because games like this often end with 1-2 players, actual people or AI, snowballing and becoming the dominant force in the game with no obstacle to even slow them down. The Crisis events are in to shake up the session and make things fun and interesting again lategame. If you are not getting that feeling then you need to up the difficulty, increase the Crisis strength when starting a game, changing the mid-lategame years, or a combination of all three.

Why are they even introducing this fantasy RPG as a sci-fi GSG? That’s absolutely misleading. There are several kinds of dragons in-game, trees and flowers that can talk, rocks that look like Humans and make sounds like 2 year old infants etc. This is even more fantastic than Grimm’s fairytales.

Again, this is all subjective, and you are trying to push this viewpoint on everyone else because you don't find this game fun. The simplicity of Stellaris is what makes Stellaris, well, Stellaris. If I wanted something more challenging when it comes to calculations, management, or anything when it comes to Strategy games then I can play a different Strategy game to get my fix, I have Endless Space 2 installed too afterall. I also have Victoria 3, Hearts of Iron IV, and Europa Universalis IV in my library if I want to go back to them. And even Civs IV, V, and VI. And this brings me back to my first point in having more than one game to play.

You can conclude all you want while lying to yourself and others that texting on the forum brings you more enjoyment than playing your allegedly fun game. In fact, it actually does bring you more enjoyment, just not for the reasons you claim it does. You’re here because this game is shallow and boring without any intellectually stimulating mechanics. And I’m here because when I’m outside or otherwise not at my computer I naturally can’t continue playing the Terra Invicta campaign that I started yesterday evening. So while you are compensating with a redirection activity and lying to yourself about it, I am here because I’m sitting on the train right now.

Yeah, yeah. Keep whining all you want, this is a Steam discussion's board, not the Youtube comment section. If you want to keep coming here and break up the conversation to announce how pathetic you are that's fine, you are only making yourself look like a clown.
