Stellaris Update 3.10.1 Pyxis Beta Brings Outliner Hotkeys and Balance Tweaks

Stellaris version 3.10.1 Pyxis beta launches on Steam with outliner tab hotkeys, leader trait rebalances, and fixes for DLC ownership verification issues.

Paradox Interactive has released the 3.10.1 Pyxis beta branch for Stellaris on Steam. Following launch DLC ownership complications, this update introduces tabbed outliner keyboard shortcuts, extensive leader trait adjustments, and numerous bug fixes ahead of its planned live deployment.

Outliner Hotkeys and Interface Improvements

New keyboard shortcuts let players manage the Tabbed Outliner more efficiently. Use Control plus A or D to cycle through outliner tabs, and Control plus Q, W, E, or R to switch directly to specific tabs. English tooltips now display these shortcuts. Additional interface updates include hiding the research time label when research time is hidden, changing the scientist hotkey in the situation log anomaly view to G, and displaying the DLC list in cooperative game setups.

Leader Trait and Economy Balance

Leader and governor traits undergo widespread rebalancing. Policies that boost starting leader levels now substantially increase hiring and upkeep costs. Commissioner and soldier jobs now produce stability, while politician trait effects are halved. Traits that grant homeworld jobs now require leaders to reach at least level 2. Oppressive Autocracy now replaces a colonist job with an enforcer job in colony shelters, and exceptional materials like astral threads and minor artifacts can no longer be sold to the AI.

Bug Fixes and Event Adjustments

The patch addresses multiple broken events and situations, such as aborting The Seal situation if you attack the formless and fixing zroni digsites pointing to deprecated titles. Exploits allowing players to enact the Dayside Farm decision multiple times on a single planet are removed. Fixes also resolve issues where AI empires with the Fruitful Partnership origin repeatedly opened seed pods on holy worlds, and ensure proper alloy payouts when scrapping warships in specific events.

Why this patch matters

The 3.10.1 Pyxis beta addresses launch stability issues while refining leader progression and interface usability.
