guess it's even worse now,
but on the other hand they're still actively working on the code and succeeding
which is in itself remarkable

Their performance gains weren't due to software improvements but rather just scaling down all progression numbers, fleet caps, etc., and as a result, reducing fleet sizes, which was apparently one of the big performance bottlenecks. They haven't improved their code, they just reduced the amount of content the code needs to process.

Question

Have the last updates bricked all the previous mods? I wanna know whether I should rush to get in one last playthrough before the next mod breaks everything or if it's too late and I should just wait for nomads.

of course, too many vital mechanics have been changed and improved

very much this,
the 4.3 update especially fixed lots of code graves
my game boot-up went from literally 5mins to a half

I wouldn't use that word to describe the changes.

Anon...just specialize your planets a bit and use your starbases as anchorages.A single fortress + an alloy world can give you enough fleet power and ships to easily surpass the AI.

Try grand admiral with midgame scaling.
AI starts with no benefits but gain hax midgame, but at that point you should be giga swole anyways.
Make sure you gain as many pops as possible (slaves, robots, cloning, etc) and optimize your planets.
Pops are key to the game, pops=resources, pops=power, pops=life.
