Nanotech Ascension Buff
Nanotech ascension is quite disappointing, now with their research hub nerfed in 4.0.22, doubly so. Here are some buffs to the ascension. I’m open to balance discussions.
Changes
- Nanotech Cauldron and Nanite Transmuter now work off foundry/artisan workers like all other rare resource boosting buildings and the Nanite Research Center.
- Nanotech Cauldron now gives +1 alloys per 100 fabricators and increases the upkeep by 2 nanites. This is in addition to the building itself producing alloys.
This seemed to increase output on a planet with 5k fabricators about as much as 600 extra workers in endgame.
Also added a planet limit of 6 for this building. - Nanite transmuter, in addition to producing a few rare resources by itself, now also produces 0.25 of each rare resource per 100 industry workers. They gain a nanite upkeep of 4.
While nanites seemed to be built to use buildings not workers for much of their produce, it just does not scale with the current way Stellaris works.
Also added a planet limit of 6 for this building. - Removed the building upkeep cost/building production maluses and bonuses from the Nanite World planetary designation.
The upkeep cost increase pretty much negated any bonus you would get from the bonus so the designation is better off without this. Another way to go is to buff the nanite building production but that would need to be a very substantial buff and I decided against it. - Nanotech tradition Aggregation Systems was changed to provide +1 (up from +0.2) nanites per 100 agri- and mining drones.
This still does not make this really useful or a thing to focus on but it gives a nice early boost. - Nanite harvester yield improvements were increased to happen every 2 years instead of 5.
This was my biggest gripe with nanites. Playing at 2350 and I still do not have the income to field huge nanite fleets. The increase in yield needs to be ramped up much faster.
A thing to note: The yield increasements actually happen every 5 and every 2 years, so take that as a bonus. - Fixed missing localisations for the nanite planet planetary designations:
