Stellaris - Galactic Doorstep Origin (Losers use Hyperlanes, Winners build Gateways)

ah Gateway's who doesn't love dave ways he's still slow boating everywhere where hyperdrives what a bunch of scrubs a real Empire uses gateways in strategic locations to get everywhere remember the original FTL systems within the game specifically the wormhole drive yeah this is kind of similar so for those of you who are still collaborate for those days the Wow galactic doorstep is the way the go now one thing no galactic doorstep is part of the Nilla that means that everybody gets access to it what a happy day for everybody involved you have so many options but galactic doorstep is definitely something that you want to keep your eye on straight wise for our species we're not doing anything special because this is somewhat of a RP style origin right here that does have significant implications for the mid-game why specifically well you get to activate a gateway and as you know like androids apparently gateways are built in pairs this means that a gateway somewhere else in the galaxy will also be activated and you can then travel back and forth following that you'll be able to build your own gateways or at least get access to the gateway technology significantly earlier in your playthrough than what you would normally have normally the gateways are tier 5 technology in this particular case you should already be able to get tier 2 a technology level a gateways of course this cost is still exactly the same which means they're relatively pricey but we'll touch on that later but yeah do you want to be able to project your forces across your empire relatively early using the magnificence of gateways in this particular case of a black crown Wow this is your origin to go for let's dive right in let's see what kind of events yes there are events to this one this is a storyline origin right here let's dive right in see what happens now you start off early on it's fairly straightforward you have your standard Empire right here in this particular case it's a wonderful gate keepers yeah I know I'm very original in the capital of Iconia for those of you who get that reference chapeau to you let's quickly zoom out here as you can see it's a small galaxy but there should be gateways all over the shop so what we're gonna do here is we're gonna go casually do some exploring until the first event change starts popping up we're currently of course on January 1st etc so those events should pop up very soon and of course we're gonna sell lawful of these things and get ready but there is no particular events at the start of the game here we're just waiting we're just waiting for the gateway to do something you ask cuz the gate will will Gateway will do start to do something very soon it's gonna give us resources what kind of resources you ask well let's find out shall we so the gateway has given us something to chew on it's given us resources what kind of resources are they well in this particular case 250 alloys which for any Empire to start the game is a rather significant amount that's to science ships right there that you can spam out to survey even more of the galaxy or maybe a couple of assault ships construction ships and God knows what else however you will never and get the same resources again well there's a there's a list of four things that you can get you can get a mixture of alloys and minerals you can get just a Lloyd's you can get another mixture of alloys and minerals anything to get just minerals personally at this particular stage alloys are great for getting your ships up and running and this and also of course the minerals are great for getting your districts up and running with any additional buildings getting additional science building at the start of the game is pretty good but the black crown the Gateway has more in store for us more in store indeed what do you have for us black crown what is hiding beyond your antediluvian veil and then we move on to our second event the uninvited the Gateway keeps on spitting out things in this particular case it is in fact a adorable little amoeba there it is right there oh my god it is so cute but a damage output of 9.15 a minute but there's a couple of interesting ways how to do it apparently we have to eradicate it immediately so we're just gonna go in sick our fleet on it that's something we can actually kill up by the way this is a a hint to the later part of the game and we got some science out of this as well there you go and he is a gun we got a couple of pieces of science regenerative halt tissue this is a guaranteed item that you can get at this part of the game and whilst the regenerative hull tissue by itself is not the greatest and unless you're running very very heavy armor or whole base ships you're not gonna go very far but it's still additional technology which is always nice so yeah in the meantime though we're waiting for the Gateway to spit out the next thing and that is gonna come because yes there will be more and I'm really curious on what it's going to be now a little while later you will get a special event following the spinet out event that's right apparently the Gateway will activate but nothing will really happen well aside from a unknown metallic object that shoots out with extraordinary velocity how very peculiar as we get a new special project called looking closer I'd say unidentified thing here on this here particular planet it can be any planet in this particular case and if you don't know any sign ships on standby that'll be a good time to use one of those alloys that you got earlier on to quickly crap out a sign ship and start digging out what is going on over here it's only 250 of your engineering research which you can do in about ten or so months unless of course you've got a scientist that is a more suited for this especially when it comes to events so we're just gonna go and check this out see what's going on and maybe it will spawn something special as soon as the event is done at least a special project you will be presented with a new arcology site from Gateway Center it's a relatively easy it only has one chapter and a low difficulty which is great so you can keep on trucking quite easily here all you gotta do is assign your scientist to this particular event and very quickly you will start getting yourselves some breakthroughs and what is dwelling in cycle they did talk about a object flying out of the Gateway what could it possibly be candy I would hope so gateway candy mmm of course it wouldn't be an archaeologist site if we actually get some minor artifacts which is great we're gonna continue here right now obviously we've done chapter one there's more chapters ahead of us which is great let's keep on digging and let's keep following the storyline apparently there is a massive there's there stirs something has hit this moon what could it possibly be one came from the Gateway what is sitting behind it so once you managed to dig up this thing pan leaders time issues going on oh no Einstein got his thick little fingers on this there's temporal distortions how strange very strange we need to keep digging and see what we can get also a bunch of mine artifacts that may be useful later in case you want to crack some of the secrets of the precursor empires so after a while you find yourself a weird room on this here moon or planet depending on where it spawns the ball itself is not all that interesting but whatever is sitting behind this it's fascinating plus we get a bunch of research and on top of that more minor artifacts another stage dumb from gateways sent finally after four whole chapters of scanning this here site you you find a bunch of things I'm not gonna tell you the story you can find out that yourself but yeah we got a bunch of research technology here as well as a minor artifact but also we get something else that is special we get the blueprints soon knowledge ease the Gateway apparently we can open the gateway ender is read text there is old when there is always read text in solarz you have to watch out because it's never a good thing whether it be technology or something else in the galactic community or in the shroud read text is always dangerous in this particular case yeah it's it's definitely dangerous because there are four different outcomes here they all boil down to the same thing but with a different spin on things and in this particular case we have the ability to start prepping for something called the gateway cannon of course the person who was doing the studying of the dig site earlier on is the perfect person to go and take a look at the black crown it's gonna cost this one thousand engineering technology here and it's gonna take a little while so don't hold on to your hats even though you know already it's seven percent so it's going along quite quickly here after a while once the project is done it's time to send our sign ship through the gate by the way that scientists you ain't gonna see him again so since somebody who you can miss but yeah now we just have to wait because the gate would open for a little bit and we just have to slingshot somebody inside of it and yeah who knows what comes back out of the Gateway I will tell you it's gonna be the plants on how to reactivate set gateway remember the time-dilation we had earlier on oh yeah that's gonna come back into play and as I mentioned once the event pops up returned to sender the Gateway will open in a ship will come through it is the same ship except it's really old now and all the crew are horribly dead however we get gateway technology already mmm I would like to point out it's currently 22/15 gateway technology is usually not researched for over a hundred years from now yeah we get gateway activation but 45% already done what does that translate you to a Empire at this stage of the game well it translates apparently 577 months of research so yeah at this particular case we got 293 months remaining on gateway travel so the real question is do you really want to be spending 24 years of your time doing gateway travel whilst you could be doing the rest of the physics tree now obviously this is a time thing you need to be particularly focused on this you can rush it going for a technology built which is interesting because then you should have the alloy build up that would make this a little bit more valuable sudden to me time just hold off a little bit on gateway activation tech and let the black crown sit at the edge of your system just sitting there menacing being old crown-like and stuff but you could always go for the technology as well maybe activate the gateway who knows what is on the other side it's only 24 years what do you have to lose time-space who knows now of course that managed to get gateway travel a little bit quicker down intended normally you should only get this around 20 to 30 ish maybe a little bit later if you play your cards right but yeah gateway travel 30 years into the game it's pretty darn good all you gotta do now is activate the gateway for the 6000 energy and 2500 alloys I would highly recommend at this point that you have a reasonable fleet because upon activating the black crown stuff can happen four things can happen actually we'll go through those once we activate the gateway and then with the activation of the black crown the gateway is opened and another gateway somewhere in the galaxy activates as well as I mentioned Gabe Ruiz are in fact built in pairs but we get gateway construction as well plus a 20% activation onset gateway construction which we extremely early in the game which is amazing but however this is not the end of this particular chain and now there is more that come what sits on the other side of this gateway well just another system sadly its it within the galaxy it's nothing special and there it is one of the four special events and of course we have rolled the worst of the bunch what does it do well what it does is it it deactivates of one of your generator districts or at least permanently removes it from your planet which is obviously not the greatest thing to have happen and of course it also in destroys 20-word front was already one percent of your infrastructure which is also of course rather annoying no new blockers just a generator district gets wiped off the map for no reason whatsoever other things that can happen are for instance a giant armada or flagella comes through the gate and try to take your stuff which is of course annoying there's battle station it's called you know it's called gateway vermin relentless barrage you need to be very careful with that one of course the follow-up to that one is pest control but yeah there are three different outcomes here the chance of getting the gateway locusts is 40% all the other two are 30 so we had a one in three chance that this particular event pops up usually they're all negative so you want to make sure that you have some decent ships on standby but do or do we get out of this well we get the beautiful gateway construction in this particular case three hundred and seventy eight months make that four hundred and fourteen months which is still reasonable complete however once we have that willing activate a gateways and a sprawling Empire of course in this particular case it's not particularly sprawling but let's say that we have an outpost over here that we quickly want to deploy our fleets to or over here or let's say over here sending our ships through the gateways rather than slow boating rooms Hyper lanes is far superior of course a gateway will still cost you 100 influence and 2500 alloys to build and of course the activation charge to follow up on but by itself using gateways to connect your empire is incredibly useful especially early on when your ships are incredibly slow and you don't have any jump drive it's all about power projection in this particular case incredibly useful a bit on the pricey side but if you set you up your economy to funnel everything into alloys you should be in a very very good spot on top of that you'll be able to not have to use trade stations everywhere you can set up a single trade station in a system somewhere and then build a gateway in set system and have make sure that everything has a gateway at least within six jumps because then that trade station will capture every single unit of trade within your empire and this also negates the chances of piracy incredibly powerful usually left for the late game but having it this early on probably somewhere around twenty to fifty to one two to sixty is so incredibly good this marks the end of the Galactic doorstep chain from this moment onward go forth build gateways across the galaxy be able to project power from a single station crop out a ton of ships and have them appear out of nowhere because otherwise it will take them years to arrive thank you so much for watching I want to thank my patrons thanks to you I am no longer sleeping in the guest room it's a very glorious thing to have I'm back at where I belong but still the wife is still nagging me about that really annoying car seriously I have I'm locked in my house right now there's nowhere I can go I couldn't even go to a car dealership if I really wanted to still though you know you want to get involved with the patreon feel free to drop it in there is a link down in the description and for those of you who have not picked up Federation's just yet and are hankering at ride of course galactic doorstep is just part of vanilla so you can play around with that but if you want Federation there's a link down in the description below which will take you to the paradox store where you can buy the expansion I will get a cut of the proceeds from that it's an affiliation program what can you do right anyway thank you so much for watching and until next time projector power become the Senate unify the galaxies in one glorious Galactic Empire
