If you plan to put your next base on a Paradise planet in No Man's Sky, warp to yellow stars with five or six planets and moons, scan every world in the system and keep going until one of them carries the title Paradise Planet, Paradise Moon or Paradise Giant.
Which galaxy settings should you pick for a new game of Stellaris 4.5?
You raise relations in Bannerlord fastest by running quests for notables, letting every captured lord go in the post-battle talk and marrying into the clan you need most, and since v1.5.7 an Honorable character gets 20% more out of each of them.
When pop growth crawls in Stellaris 4.5, the fastest fix is to move pops off your capital into your colonies, keep each planet somewhere near half of its Planet Capacity, where growth peaks, and add a staffed Medical Center and Clone Vats on every planet.
If your energy credits keep running dry in Stellaris 4.5, the fix is nearly always more Technicians working your Generator Districts, a Trade surplus that your Wealth Creation policy can turn into energy, and fleets that sit docked at a starbase while you are at peace.
Influence in Stellaris is the political resource that pays for new systems, and you raise it through a short list of sources: a flat +3 a month, up to +2 from Power Projection once your navy is big enough for your empire, +0.5 for every rival, and later your ethics, council traits and the Will to Power decree.
How do you get influence in Bannerlord fast? Join a kingdom, win fights in which your own party does most of the work, and donate every prisoner you take to another clan's castle in that kingdom, because almost nothing pays influence while your clan stands alone.
When you want to terraform a planet in Stellaris, you first need Terrestrial Sculpting, a tier 2 Society technology that lets you change the climate of an uncolonised planet inside your borders for 2,000 energy and 5 years within the same climate group, or 5,000 energy and 10 years across groups.
If you want Units fast in No Man's Sky, scan creatures with good scanner modules in the first hours, scrap Sentinel Interceptors in the mid game and craft Stasis Devices, worth 15.6 million each, once you have a farm.
A vassal is a subject empire in Stellaris that keeps its own planets but pays you what its agreement asks for, joins your wars on the terms you set and can be integrated later, which makes vassalizing a cheaper way to grow than conquest once your empire has more than a handful of colonies.
