@Fildelis:
Look in the Common Workarounds post. Make sure you're unsubbed from the 3.14 version of the mod first.

Can't get came to load the mod it just loads up the base game.

@Levelup Brian:
The Republic is effectively dead at game start since the mod opens with the Emperor's declaration of the Empire.

Thank you for all you do!

queston how does one play as the republic?

The compat for 4.1.7 is done, I'm just trying to track down something in the error log about pops and the recent changes to slavery in the vanilla update. It doesn't *seem* like its breaking anything but I don't want to take chances.

@Bosmeri Peace be with you. Is it possible to know if or when this mod will be getting an update? Thank you.

Where's the mod for the latest version of the game?

How is the new republic formed, I have beaten the empire but nothing happened

@Zerox:
I finished the compat for 4.1.7 earlier today, just need to double check something and then push the update.

@sulyvahn:
Did you read anything in Bug Reports/Common Work Arounds posts?

@nymphygate:
Your first mistake was thinking ChatGPT is going to give accurate information. I'm pretty sure the Stellaris wiki had an article on trade mechanics. We have done nothing special with it and it operates like it does in vanilla.

@Mox Neo:
None whatsoever and if they are added, they will not be playable. Same goes for the Pykes and Shadow Collective.

any plans for crimson dawn?

I've played for about a 100 hrs and I still can't figure out how the Trade system works? I'm consuming an insane amount of trade due to jobs, but all my planets/stations don't have very many available jobs and none of my planets are fully built out. I haven't found any good enough info on youtube or chatgpt. Please help

looks really cool and in depth so im at a loss here

yeah this doesnt work? its the only mod in the playset, on the correct version, not in debug mode and none of the mods features appear in game, the normal generated AI empires are not replaced, all mod features are absent. What is the problem

Hi, is the mod safe to use with 4.1.7 or should we downgrade until a update drops?

i cannot launch the mod, its the only thing in the playset plz help

@Bosmeri:

@Bloodknight166:
No. We have no interest or desire in ever letting player-made empires be a thing.

can you make it so we can make our own empires, or at least customise some of them, since playing as some of the factions at the bottom, eg first order or the republic would be kinda cool

@DasPoseidon:
That sounds like you're using mods that are conflicting with New Dawn.

@USMC0311:
As long as you have mega engineering researched you should be able to get the components

Is it normal that I can't build structures on planets in sandbox mode? Thanks for your help. :D

Is it possible to get the death star construction research options when playing in sandbox? thanks!

okok This is awesome! Definitely reinvigorated my drive to play! The new resources + ship components are a little overwhelming for a first start... anyone have recommendations for mods to compare different components or a comprehensive list of the new stuff with explanations?

oh, I was actually thinking if it was possible to wait or doing it in the correct way, since (I guess) after the new order proclamation the empire probably got rid of them right in the beginning (although I'm not sure); but in any case thank you again! I think I'll do it via commands

@Dr. Quackers M.D.
Unsub and resub to see if it fixes the file size. On my end, the workshop version is -906.89 MB. Its negative because the Paradox launcher is dumb and at a certain file size it overflows.

@Koffeekki:
if you want to cheat the event in, open the console and put in swnd_galactic_cw_leadup.7 while playing as the Empire. Off the top of my head I can't remember it Eriadu or Ciutric can do it.

Thx for the reply! may i ask, how do trigger this event about war agaist the Separatists and Companies (or when does it happens)

excelent mod

mods only 30.9 megabytes? there has to be an issue with the download?

cant even get this to work, in a playlist but loads vanilla stellaris

@rmanchaca51:
You'll need to build them them for orbital or planetary shipyards. And you also need the Starship Structures technology which is an engineering tree option.

hey im not able to build ships past the early star destroyer i looked on youtube google and i just cant figure out how

@Redeye I have tried your solution and it didn't work for trying to get this mod to work

@Nova Starborn:
No and it never will be. We have absolutely zero interests in compatibility with those mods.

@Koffeekkii:
You can if you want. You should get an event eventually that will let you claim a total war-style casus belli against all the former Separatist-aligned companies.

@Moridin:
We plan on expanding some narrative events surrounding it. The GCW itself is something we want to expand upon as well. If you want to expand on your ideas some, you can definitely write a suggestion on our Discord so it doesn't get lost in the comments here.

Hey, first time playing as Empire. As Imperial core, am i suposed to conquering the Imperial Sectors States? maybe vassalize them?

thanks for any help, i loved the senate mechanics

is this compatible with Gigas and Acot?

Are the plans to change the GCW in the short-term?

Though I like how the New Republic usually forms and manages to consolidate the systems around Coruscant, there's a lot of bordergore even before the Empire splinters, because of how every participant can seize ownership of the systems they occupy.

If you could review the way systems change hands during the GCW and whether every participant should be called into one huge war (rather than maybe a handful of parallel conflicts), it would be great :)

Because New Dawn uses more predesigned content, we actually have *better* performance planet-per-planet and ship-per-ship than vanilla! The issue arises quickly because we also have more advanced starting positions, so the economy heats up quicker and empires fill out their naval cap much earlier than in the base game. This is a tradeoff, but it also allows more notable wars to play out at earlier dates.

In the near(ish) future we plan to overhaul per-ship navalcap similar to the changes being proposed to vanilla - as performance for the base game ships improve ND should also benefit substantially.

@felixcooke2012:
Its something on Paradox's side that we have to ultimately wait on them for. It boils down to the amount of ships and fleets.

@felixcooke2012 You really need to read past remarks here before you post. It will really help you out.

Um I've just got to late mid gamer and my frame rates are really low, is there anyway i can fix this?

also this may be to do with the fact that it just became behind on the updates a few days ago but i'm not sure

@ニン桜 Mr. Vik ❄☂ See my responses to @plmsw121 just below your post.

Can I just say what an amazing mod

thank you for updating

Is this normal if i have 20-30 fps near 2270 date(and have an fps drops too)? i playing in huge map max graphic almost, with 42 species(pc: i5 14400F, 32 gb ram, rtx 4060, m2 ssd). I do all basic tips for stellaris.

There are a few mods that help with this actually. They force the AI to update their fleets periodical similar to how you do and favor larger more powerful ships over dozens and dozens of smaller ships. However, using it with this overhaul is not recommended.

I haven't tried it them either though so maybe they might work?

One possible solution to the slide show you can look into is find out what the command is to delete a fleet you have selected and simply go around and delete every AI fleet that is made up of small ships and they will hopefully build back their fleets with larger ships.

@plmsw121 There is an issue with vanilla since 4.0 where the number of ships on the map causes the game to turn into a slide show, a slow one at that. When this happens just depends on how quickly a certain number of ships on the map is reached.

I recommend playing on the Medium or Small map until they fix vanilla.

This is not a mod issue.

I have same problem as @JDMR

I'm having the issue that on the intended large galaxy the game grinds to a halt (1-2 seconds per day) around year 38 regardless of any options I change. Is there a fix to this I'm missing or have optimizations for the new pop model not been included? And if not is there a mod that would serve to fix the problem?

can anyone else not play as the empire?

I shared below how I fixed it
