EU4's mass builder/upgrader interface would work too. They stole the rally/army design system from EU4 already.

It's going to be a clusterfuck. Just wait for the swedes to drop a game breaking patch like they have in the past and fuck off on holiday for a month.

I'm very happy with the upcoming additions of megacorps and changes to pops. I'm hopeful this will finally be where I wanted it to be near release. I've enjoyed myself a lot with it, but the super high abstraction of economics and adjacency bonus min/max is lame. Sectors still need more work. There are a lot of mods giving them a bigger impact.

Looks like a 20 dollar expansion pack. But I think the overall 2.2 changes are going to be free.

The 2.2 ruleset will be free but Megacorp itself is a full-blown paid DLC.
Trailer is out:
I watched one of their let's plays and one of the megacorp civics is called "CRIMINAL HERITAGE" and you expand by building smuggling networks and drug labs on foreign planets----you can play as a fucking SPACE CARTEL.
Preordered.

Put this here as I didn't feel like it warranted it's own thread, but Stellaris fans might like it:
For those who like Stellaris, but find it doesn't quite sit, I recently discovered a similar game that is very interesting to play, Distant Worlds: Universe. I suppose the best way to describe it is a cross between Stellaris and Aurora 4x What I like about it is that it's a PC game, that doesn't attempt to be anything but, with many Excel esque tables, drop down menus, scroll bars and shit. It's on sale now both at GoG and Steam, so you can get it for a steal.
It's both highly moddable (with the oblig Star Trek/Star Wars mods), but also has some unique and interesting features, such as high customisation for automation, so you can go from a full fledged "tyrant" who controls every aspect of the empire, to playing the roll of a Star Trek type captain exploring the stars leaving all else to the AI. Worth a look. Here's a Twitch vid, and you can find some additional info:

Distant Worlds is bloody fantastic. It's everything Stellaris wishes it could be, just without the interesting writing. It would have been such more successful game if it hadn't been kept to Matrix/Slitherin. Few people have ever heard of it because of that.
It's that gobblygook that flashes on the screen before you press the same options you always press

the last game I played was this one 8 months ago. i didnt bother playing again because i thought machine empires made the game completely trivial
did they ever address this in later patches?
