Stellaris Update 3.10.1 Pyxis Outliner Hotkeys and Balance Tweaks

Stellaris update 3.10.1 Pyxis brings new outliner hotkeys, leader trait rebalances, and numerous bug fixes. The patch addresses economic exploits and stabilizes empire generation.

Paradox Interactive has released the 3.10.1 Pyxis update for Stellaris, bringing the changes from the recent Steam Open Beta into the live game with a focus on outliner navigation and leader balance.

Interface and Hotkeys

Players can now use Ctrl+A and Ctrl+D to cycle through outliner tabs, while Ctrl+Q, W, E, and R switch directly to specific tabs. Tooltips have been added for these shortcuts, though they currently display in English regardless of game language settings.

Leader and Empire Balance

Common Ground and Hegemony origin AI empires now start with an additional Official assigned to the federation. Commissioner stability bonuses now scale from soldier jobs rather than providing extra jobs. The Politician trait effect has been halved, and Driven Educator now grants a 25% leader XP bonus instead of its previous effect.

Bug Fixes and Adjustments

The Seal situation now aborts correctly if players attack the Formless. Multiple planetary feature discrepancies caused by Mastery of Nature changes are corrected. Exploits allowing players to repeatedly enact the Dayside Farm decision on a single planet or sell exceptional materials like astral threads to the AI have been removed.

Why this patch matters

The Pyxis 3.10.1 update polishes Stellaris with essential UI hotkeys, targeted economy fixes, and necessary balance adjustments to leader traits.
