Stellaris Update 3.10.2 Pyxis Open Beta Adds Outliner Customization and Stability Fixes
Paradox has released the Stellaris 3.10.2 Pyxis Open Beta on Steam, bringing full outliner tab customization and a fix for a widespread MacOS crash. The update also adjusts leader traits, reclasses Nasuz Demetor, and tweaks event triggers across several origins and anomalies.
The Stellaris 3.10.2 Pyxis Open Beta is available on Steam as an optional test branch while the patch goes through certification. This update introduces custom outliner tabs, tackles persistent crashes, and adjusts leader classes and traits.
Stability and Performance
The update fixes a common MacOS crash caused by a thread running out of stack memory during a loop in alloca. Paradox states this bug also affected other operating systems inconsistently. A workaround is included for a known Linux startup issue involving disconnected internet, and Ubuntu 20.04 multiplayer hosting crashes can be avoided by switching to cross-platform multiplayer.
Outliner Customization
Players can customize outliner tabs. A new custom outliner tab toggle in the options menu lets you select specific elements to display, combine information onto a single tab, or duplicate tabs to create dedicated views.
Leader and Trait Rebalancing
Paragon leader Nasuz Demetor is reclassed as a scholar with only one destiny trait, Vibrant Storyteller. Several traits are reassigned or expanded to new classes. Mining, farming, and generator focus traits move from officials to commanders. The Enlister trait moves to commanders and grants soldiers to governed planets and sectors. Agrarian Upbringing and Environmental Engineering are available to all leader classes, with reduced roll weights if other leaders already possess them or if the empire uses the Environmentalist civic.
Gameplay and Event Adjustments
The Payback origin event chain modifier Declining Healthcare automatically removes itself after five years, fixing a bug that left empires permanently burdened. The Kaleidoscope has a chance to appear anytime after the midgame starts rather than at the beginning. Astral rifts display properly when a player's pool is empty, and the Entangled Dark Matter rift completely overwrites non-psionic scientists' personalities.
Why this patch matters
The Pyxis open beta delivers interface flexibility alongside stability patches and targeted leader rebalances.
