Stellaris Update 3.11.2 Eridanus Patches Domination and Crashes
Paradox Interactive has released Stellaris update 3.11.2 to fix crashes, balance tradition trees, and resolve pre-FTL diplomacy bugs. The patch addresses issues introduced with the Eridanus release.
Paradox Interactive launched Stellaris patch 3.11.2 to address community reports following the Eridanus release. The update focuses on stability fixes, correcting tooltips, and rebalancing specific civic bonuses.
Tradition and Civic Balance
The Domination tradition opener grants plus 5% worker output and plus 5% slave output, replacing the previous plus 10% slave output bonus. Versatility operational proxies provide plus 1 unity production to maintenance drones. Costs to study and pacify space fauna decreased by 25% and 40% respectively.
Crash Fixes and Stability
The update resolves multiple potential crash-to-desktop triggers. Fixes target crashes tied to quantum catapult rendering, write-protected user directories during startup, finishing species modifications, using the dump_event_data console command with non-writable output files, loading leader names from savegames, and updating diplomacy for countries lacking diplomacy systems.
Gameplay and Event Fixes
Dead leaders are removed from their locations to allow replacements, and federation emissaries and galactic community delegates assign and replace correctly. The On the Origins of Nanites special project spawns as intended, and the Chosen declare wars of cleansing against empires that breach their wormhole. Acquiring colonization drones from the Chemical Wasteland astral rift no longer places natural blockers on habitats.
AI and UI Corrections
AI empires leave federations only if the federation contains two members or if the empire type is unplayable, and they ask to leave hegemony federations. Diplomacy finishers correctly state they grant plus 10% diplomatic weight instead of a flat 10 value. The adaptability enhanced recycling tooltip accurately lists a 15% reduction instead of 10%.
Why this patch matters
Version 3.11.2 cleans up post-release friction in Eridanus by resolving persistent crash bugs and tightening up civic math.
