Stellaris 的 界面，也稱為 圖形用戶界面（GUI 或者 UI），有許多特定的畫面和視覺元素。這個詞條將聚焦於界面的實際目的和實用性（與風格元素相反）。
第一部分關注在任何實際遊戲之前的遊戲設置界面，而後面的部分則討論遊戲內的界面本身。

單人遊戲[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]

單玩家設置
物種設置
When starting a new game players have the choice to pick one of the game's pre-defined species, player-created species (indicated by a phoenix icon which, if enabled, may also appear in other campaigns) or a randomly generated species.
Players who opt to customize their own species (either by Create new option or Edit of an exiting setup) are greeted by the species setup screen. This screen allows players to change anything from cosmetics - appearance and names of species, homeworld, ships and flag - to more defining features - species traits, government, ethics and civics. Players can review their species of choice before proceeding forward.
The final step before the game starts involves the galaxy setup options (same options as shown to the right in the MP screen setup below). Options vary from galaxy size and shape to number of AI players and difficulty.
多人遊戲[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
多玩家主機
多玩家服務器
- 玩家主機
新遊戲需要一個服務器名稱。主機可以選擇添加密碼以將服務器限制為特定人員或標籤/描述，這可用於讓加入的玩家全面了解聯機的內容是什麼。 然後，主機玩家可以選擇一個帝國並調整銀河系設置以進行遊戲（與單人遊戲相同的過程）
The ServerID (shown when hovering above the server icon below the galaxy settings section) can then be given to other players to easily find this specific MP session. The same line also displays any gameplay affecting DLCs enabled by the host.
If the game is a continuation of a previous session, the host needs to choose the Host Saved Game function and - after repeat the first step (server name etc.) - pick the desired save game (single player saves may be used as well).
- Adjoining players
Players looking to join a MP game can scan for servers (shows closest servers) to look for games about to start or ones already in-progress. If players can't find a specific session they can use the Direct Join function to input the ServerID given to them by the host player.
When joining a MP game, a player receives the latest save game from the host containing information about the state of the galaxy. They may then proceed to pick one of the empires within the game to play.
- 玩家創建的帝國
Adjoining players can't create their own empires when joining a MP game, but have to pick one of the existing empires within the game (this is due to the random nature of the generated galaxy). To circumvent this, players can create their custom empires, save them and send them to the host player. The host then can choose to include them as part of the galaxy generation.
載入遊戲[編輯 | 編輯原始碼]
Stellaris employs a somewhat more advanced save system compared to other (older) PDS games.
- Saves are sorted per campaign (left half) with individual saves within the campaign (right half).
- Gauntlet icon - Indicates an ironman game; meaning, one (auto-) save per campaign. Note: This currently requires Steam cloud synchronization (local save not supported at present).
- Floppy disk icon - Indicates a version-incompatible save game. This usually occurs after major patch updates. To continue the saved game without issues it is recommended to roll back to the save-game's version (via Steam -> Betas tab).
- Cloud icon - Indicates whether this is a local-save (red), a cloud-save (green) or in the middle of cloud-save synchronization (blue).
- Garbage bin icon - Used to delete saves. Can be done for per campaign or per individual save. To enable deletion, click the bin icon, proceed to delete saves, and click the bin icon again to disable deletion.
- Individual saves also display the player's number of fleets and number of controlled planets.
- Autosave frequency is player dependent (through Settings --> Gameplay/Autosave frequency).
