Any good DF playthroughs/channels you'd recommend?

After consuming almost the entire galaxy, the Prethoryn Scourge collectively decided that trying to consume what remained in this galaxy, only to fail over and over and over again, was simply not worth the effort as they would start to expend the biomass they absorbed if they kept trying. So the swarm eventually left this galaxy, searching for new feeding grounds, leaving only dead worlds behind, drained of all life. For the first time in over a century, the Grand Recyclers left the confines of their heavily fortified borders and ventured into the empty galaxy, repopulating it with life using their own rapid growth as well as the Omnicodex, turning the galaxy into a lush, peaceful oasis amidst the dark, uncaring void. And while there was no indication that the Scourge would ever return, the great fleets of the Grand Recyclers remained ever vigilant, and the defenders of the galaxy patrol the stars until the end of time itself...

one strategy I found while playing involves a standard hivemind and nihilistic acquisition. you declare war on someone, steal their pops, then farm their pops for food. for added funnies transfer all your livestock pops to a single planet, and build a crap ton of city districts to house them fully.

Budding is such a fun and silly trait. I especially love to use it on massive ringworlds/city worlds

Yes! More weird ways to play Stellaris for the God of weird ways to play Stellaris! Why playing efficiently, why making good decisions, if it always leads to the very same results? IMHO, it is much more interesting to have a lot of different experiences from this game, than playing one exact empire over and over until hellish boredom overtakes everything, forcing you to abandon the game and never play it again. I am speaking about single player games, of course. If you decide to play ascetic legion hive mind in multiplayer, the other players would make a chop of you.

This seems like a hilariously weird idea, I love it. Also I love the event reference to the Doctor Who episode with the Vashta Nerada swarms. I feel like you haven't played against the contingency, at least in a video, in a while. Feel like that would be interesting, maybe even do a machine heavy run against them so that it's even a little bit more difficult.

Comment for the algorithm! Wasn't expecting another playthrough so soon, awesome! Thanks Lath!!

"Growth Required Scaling" would make a lot more sense if it would scale for each planet individually and not for the whole empire. If you have a large amount of pops it should make it faster to populate a new planet, but massively populated planets should get diminishing returns on growth, so your pops don't grow exponentially forever.

It's the anti-snowball factor slowing empire growth that people complain about, nevermind that huge empires with a hundred colonies to manage make the endgame laggy micro hell. You can defeat the crisis and be #1 on every measure with just 300 pops. But the pop spam habit takes less imagination and game knowledge

@tylerlambert8400

I love how the ending is essentially a neverending war of attrition, where the scourge send stronger and stronger fleets against defense stations that are always improving.

Love the playthroughs!

If the play style for this type of empire is to have loads of unemployed pops then I suggest calling it the Couch Potato Strat.

I have had stellaris for awhile but only played it briefly. Remembering your channel I looked it up to see what you’ve been uploading. Very excited to see you do play through of this. I can’t wait to watch more. I’ll give a subscribe too because its not often I think about KZreadrs I miss.

Making an empire where each system is only connected by gateways beyond little pockets around each ruined megastructure could work well in theory.

@@omegaentertainment01 I never played hyperdrives before they made it mandatory. It seemed so bland and also kinda weird that everyone is stuck using randomly generated galactic railroads but i understand why, from a development and gameplay perspective, it was the right move. There was almost no way to actually balance the three against each other and wormhole was so disadvantaged that any wars fought had to either end immediately in a rapid victory or you’d just watch as fleets moved around areas you couldn’t go and then destroy your shit. Jump drives do kinda make me sad since they are 1) quite short range all things considered, 2) extremely painful to use making them only viable if both jump points are 150% safe, and 3) tied to an insanely long cool down. But it does amuse me that in some games you can jump drive from the edge of the galaxy to the L-cluster and avoid the need for L-gates once its discovered.

I like turtling so these are not boring at all. It's fun to know that the enemies can't defeat you. This series, much like the habitats only run are the sort of vanity runs that I enjoy watching while relaxing. Simply watching the enemies crash into heavily fortified systems while the homefront continues to build up, sending scout fleets to capture the odd system on a bite and hold strategy. Build all the mega structures, finish all tech, colonize all habitable planets, build habitats over the rest, just have fun.

41:50 Lathrix, a masterclass in self doubt.

I did a playthrough with the Idyllic Bloom and Master Crafter's on grand admiral. Psionic Plant people with Budding and Elf servile and it became the most powerful empire I've ever built, it didn't occur to me that if the services where budding capable it would boost growth too.

I love to watch your videos. Thanks a lot for the work.

I actually suggested something similar to this on one of your previous videos, I mentioned how you might as well make the computer controlled empires conquer the galaxy for you, then when you and them are the only ones remaining, conquer/fully annex them, so you only ever have to deal with your own growth, while the A.I does all the micro-management and colonizing. I thought a puppet would work, but you used the end-game-crisis instead. the next logical step is to wipe out the scourge then have a puppet empire acquire all the former scourge territory, the idea being to not have to deal with all the button clicks yourself. then just integrate the puppet. I saw people do something similar to this in hoi4 and eu4.

I always wait eagarly for each new Lathrix video!!
