COMMENT RESERVED FOR FUTURE UPDATES AND INACCURACIES So, XVCV is no longer maintaining the mod, here's a link to an updated version, maintained by Openly Retro steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3163759042 02:14 There's a couple of things that I missed - If you have the Machine Worlds AP, you can turn Machine Worlds into Auto-Machine Worlds with a decision. (you can also do the opposite with terraforming) - Auto-Machine Worlds have similar districts to Machine Worlds except they produce resources without jobs. They also don't have the Thermal Throttling modifier - You can later transform them into regular World-Machines with decisions - I also discovered that you can terraform World-Machines into their different variants. 03:44 An update just came out, and unfortunately Leader Assembly and Core Intelligence Modification techs require the Galactic Paragons DLC since they allowed you to pick leader traits without it I'm back with another video :D This time I covered Machine and Robot Expansion, which adds a lot of cool features for Machines and Synths! Hope you guys enjoy the video :)

Now waiting for Hive Mind Overhaul. Great Video!

You mean Forgotten Queens? Yeah I used that mod once or twice but I don't liked it. Maybe because of low experience in game. I will give it next chance, thanks@@Raven-ph4uh

I've played this mod before and this is a pretty good summary. Although I will tell you guys my experience with the op/bad elements. All of this will be for rogue servitor. 1. biomechanical hybrids are pretty op, because you can use both the machine and bio traits while easily getting an absurd amount of trait points. For example, I have managed to make pops that have: +20% engineering research +15% to all research +15% to all research +10% resources from jobs -10% empire size from pops (there's also a cyborg and a machine trait) You can stack also stack the +15% minerals energy credits etc. and there's a +10% to alloys which u can stack with resources from jobs. Overall, these pops are really op, because you get like 10/11 trait points basically for free and if you have trouble with food upkeep in policies you can change it to energy only or energy focus and put -15% pop upkeep which solves the problem for most occasions. Also the cloning/assembly speed is too much. OP pops fast and for free 2. Voluntary work (making bio-pops work in rogue servitor empires) is pretty ok (I believe) but there are only 2 building which I believe are useful. bio-trophies council are just better bio trophies, instead of +1% complex drone output it's 2,5%, -1,5 housing instead of -1 and the same unity. There's also replicator jobs which give +1 assembly, at first there's 1 job but later when you have organic paradise and you upgrade you have 2 jobs so it's amazing and scales beautifully with rapid replicators and everything that gives %pop assembly speed. The other are ok but I don't think they're that good. They're always worse at their jobs and they stop producing unity and complex drone + output. However, if you put them as researchers they get the buffs from planetary computer etc. so later when you have a lot of buffs it might be worth it. 3. I feel that Machine learning Algorithms aren't that good. I've never finished it so unless they give another buff at the end I don't think it's worth it, because it takes forever to complete and it's better to pick a normal civic instead of damaging your early game. The other civics are also usually pretty bad except efficient core which gives -20% empire size. 4. If you're playing rogue servitor I'd say that world machines are outclassed by ecumenopolis in terms of alloy and research production, however they don't require any pops so that's pretty cool and I usually use it to: make extra unity and edicts fund later in the game (while also getting some empire-wide deviancy if it's really needed). They are good with small planets because they can increase the district amount by around 10. If anyone has other questions about this mod then I'll try to answer them.

Thank you :D

One thing you missed is if you have World-Machines and a vanilla Machine-World you can turn it into a World-Machine, wich turns the Resource Production Districts Jobs automatic, wich means the District produces the Resources and not Jobs including Forge Districts

So that's how you get those automatic districts, I couldn't figure them out so I thought it was an old feature. Thanks for pointing this out, I completely missed that! I'm adding this to the pinned comment

Fella, you are making a good work with yhis videos, good explanations, good timing . Just keep it up . We are enjoying your mod recommendations

also, the new trading pilicies also apply to other empires, you just need to complete some conditions (idk which ones tho, I think it unlocks after a while) and yes, the alloy one is utterly overpowered

Welcome back!

Absolutely one of my fave mods, do you think you can cover psionic species expansion next? Maybe the hive mind one as well (it’s not as in depth as machine and robot expansion but it’s fun either way :p)

Right now i'm busy with Gigastructures, so i'll think about it.

How advance do you think these machines are compared to other sci fi counterparts like the Culture Minds from the Culture series or Mendicant Bias from Halo?

I live that mod

does the psionic techs from gigastructures work with the abyss stuff?

@michael_stellaris

10 ай бұрын

I haven't tested the mod with gigastructures, but I don't think they do. The Abyss is a separate feature, although similar to the Shroud, these two dimensions are completely different.

@@michael_stellaris figured it was like how pomme and apple are if my GCSE french isn’t failing me both the same object but different languages, the shroud and the abyss being the same thing but from 2 different directions which would explain why both form covenants with the same entities but adapted for toaster or meat thing

Try out the two mods Distant Origin and Forgotten History

Great summary, imo it is too much in just one mod. The creator should have split this into a collection of mods to handpick whatever one needs without completely breaking the balance of the game. Sure they are lackluster in vanilla, but this is way too over the top, balance is thrown off the window when you start finding other machine/synth empires using this stuff. With about half or even a third of these features it would be great.

Somebody needs to pick up this mod and update it and make it compatible with console edition.

Stellaris mods can come over to console edition it will just take until paragon dlc and the game is made by paradox they did it with surviving mars they can do it with stellaris.

This mod is sadly dead now cuz creator retire from modding 🥺😔
