Haven’t payed much attention or even played stellaris the past few months. But watching this video and seeing that robots actually have planet preferences now kinda makes sense. On wet planets rust would be a much bigger issue than on dry, and different alloys might be needed to help counteract that. Just all kinds of variables that come into play on different planets, different environmental hazards, wildlife, climate, etc. I think that’s a good change.

Just think about all their moving parts… how are they lubricated? Each kind of lubricant is likely optimised for a certain type of atmosphere (21% oxygen, 23% oxygen, 19% oxygen…) and a particular humidity range, and will work poorly in other circumstances.

I waited until after I played the origin myself to watch this video because I wanted to go in blind. Turns out Ep3o and my builds were almost identical, I took masterful crafters instead of parliamentary systems to help with the consumer goods. It let me run academic privilege basically the whole time. Also I would recommend going discovery first, upon completion it give you a research speed bonus but the left side of the tree also unlocks research subsidies for even more research!
Neat. Might try this with a Technocracy/Oppressive Autocracy empire; I usually go for Police State later. Maybe not an ideal build as it requires taking regular Materialist, but it's got a crunchy mood to it for flavor. Had fun trying out Overtuned with them.

Im gonna go Technocracy, and go hard on the new crisis type. Will have to see the final requirements to see what ethics I can use though, but this is gonna be fun. The universe decided my empire shouldnt exist. It failed to ensure that, and thus, *we reshape reality as we see fit*
Loved this start, felt a bit busted though. I definitely would've gotten rolled if I was neighbours with a genocidal. But I was left alone for the most part and after 50 or so years I had one of the most ridiculous tech/unity leads I've ever had in this game.
The choice with the identity repository is an interesting one; do you regain all your lost pops, or do you keep the structure and it's benefits? As well, if you keep the repository, how many planets do you build it on to dilute the robot output bonus? Certainly challenging, but a lot of interesting decisions.
This seems a really interesting start
Nice video, this looks like a lot of fun!

You can build colony ships as soon as you have robots up.
I wouldn't have thought the parliamentary system would be very good as it's tied to your pops and that only goes down with time. edit: 13 minutes in you saw it a bit too late.
So based on the novel disease thing, I am assuming that this is just when Eren Yeager decided to do the rumbling, but Zeke still got his they can’t reproduce wish

I think it will be harder than Eager explorers with doomsday origin in commodore difficulty up to grand admiral. And I don't think It will be good idead to increase technology and tradition cost in game sittings.
So they basically become the Necrons from 40k… fun times

@@Aimerxd It would be pretty scary to learn that the capital of your species was infected with a genetic virus which forced the majority of your species to embrace mechanical bodies. However I'd imagine those from the capital who are nostalgic after their biological bodies will go to great lengths in order to help the remaining un-infected colonists to stay alive and well. It would probably divide their civilization between those who want to support and embrace the revival of their biological nature and those who wish for their entire species to become mechanical. For sure, it would be a drama to behold.
The background music is driving me insane.
So in thsi origine your prety much playing the Necrotyr becoming the Necrons, with space AID being replace by space infertinlity and no vampire star gods. Nice

oh and on top of that there's now a random system with a habitable world that can appear in one of your games that is a reference to this origin - just a planet with some rudimentary robots and a science ship research option to look into hard drives of those robots. After you conduct a research an event will pop which will say something between the lines of "they all died to some infection"
