Stellaris Dev Diary #313 – 3.9 ‘Caelum’ is Out, What’s Next?


by Eladrin

Hi all!

The Stellaris 3.9.1 ‘Caelum’ update has been released, with full release notes listed here.

Stellaris 3.9 “Caelum” Release Trailer​

Unless critical issues arise over the weekend, our current plan is to have a general bugfixing 3.9.2 patch roughly two weeks from now. We’re also planning a followup localized 3.9.3 release in mid to late October, which will include some of the issues brought up during the Open Beta that require new text, more fixes that don’t meet the 3.9.2 deadline, and a handful of other improvements.

What’s being considered for 3.9.3?​

Localized updates are the only time we can add new text to the game, so some of the suggestions made during the Open Beta will be included in it.


Agendas will now show the required time to enact.​

We’re also making some upgrades to the existing recommended DLC screen. To make it more generally useful, it will be possible to see things like the tooltips of origins and find out what’s actually in this thing? in-game, hopefully letting you make better informed decisions by seeing what you’re getting before buying any DLC.

Based on the number of requests for it, we’re also considering accelerating the Diplomatic Trust and Vassalization changes Alfray has been working on, which we first mentioned way back in Dev Diary 291. At this point I’m not willing to outright promise this for 3.9.3, but the trajectory looks like I can pull it in rather than waiting for 3.10 ‘Pyxis’. If it continues to look good, we’ll provide more details in two weeks.


Trust, but verify.
(And don’t reveal your tender underbelly until you at least get to know them a bit.)

Next Week​

We’re hitting an auspicious number next week, so we’re stocking up on bad math jokes and we’ll be talking about the state of various Custodian plans – as well as some of the things we’re considering investigating.

See you then!
