Stellaris’ Eridanus update 3.11.1 is now live on PC, introducing one new feature alongside a slate of improvements as part of the Custodian team’s efforts to better the grand strategy game.
As revealed in its patch notes, which you’ll find in full below, you can now tinker with a Difficulty Adjusted Technology Costs slider during galaxy generation. It allows you to adjust tech costs based on tier and game difficulty.
Stellaris Eridanus Update 3.11.1 Patch Notes
In terms of improvements, every participant in a war now gets a truce with everyone else involved, regardless of side, while Progenitor Hive speed malus and bonuses only affect military ships, bringing an end to the era of science ship escorts.
Balance-wise, all pop types will feel the touch of happiness when living on a gaia world. Technology costs have, however, been increased across the board, a change that’s particularly noticeable with those of higher tiers.
