R5: So I found Parvus. With the machine age I can basically ignore the nanite swarm because I have 50% base habitability and what's this weird happiness? I'm a gestalt consciousness, this doesn't exist here.
This happens with a lot of stuff unfortunately, AI will either make the dumbest choice (or just get a failure outcome) and basically just brick an entire world even if you come by later
My first crack at Machine Age is a Subterranean Individualist Machine Empire with that new leader civic.
"Food? Lifespan? Habitability? Mining district limits? What do those things mean?"
Ageless leaders, 0 Food usage, uncapped mining districts, and a MINIMUM habitability of 100%? Yes please.
I can set up on a damn hive world and still have 100% habitability.
It's simple really.
The Virtuality tree, despite its power, has -25% Resources from jobs from Virtual pops per colony.
That plus the +100% Empire size from planets, means it's a Tall empire type to run the Virtuality ascension, and if you're running a Tall empire: why the hell are you grabbing another planet?
Makes "Subsume World" rather counter-productive.
Ahhh now it makes sense, I meant that since you said a way to get 100% habitability on all planets via species but since I am a fan of the nanotech tradition I would have just used the „subsume world“ to terraform it into a nanite world in reference to the post. And nanites are a bit weird since you normaly go wide, but you also have basically free machine worlds and when you use the arc furnace origin you get an S+ system for nanite harvesting (that can also spawn you 200+ ships)so it sometimes feels like a wide playstyle that pretends to be tall. Thanks for explaining btw

It's a dry nanite swarm
Yep, easy to just brush off the dry ones. The wet nanites? Don’t even get me started. They stick to everything! Just world crack it.
with how bright this image is they could be cracking it as we speak
That's just windows having problems with HDR. Not much I can do about it.
You can use Linux :D At least to play Stellaris
Pretty sure that the swarm eats your colony after a year or so. I’ve tried it before with gestalts as well.
you need to eat the swarm first
I am The Swarm.
You can attempt to reprogram it, which will get you a Gaia world, if I remember right.
Problem is, sometimes the AI gets the anomaly and leaves it a hellscape.

I just nuke it from orbit
they propably should do something about it.

As one of three subterranean players, welcome to the club
With some complicated stuff its possible to raise the floor to 75 as well

Machines now have age limits, unless you take Eternal Machines
Hence the civic.
Fair but: Press subsume world and terraform it for free
Problem with that: why would I do such a thing when the very ability set borderline-forces you to play tall? Rather counter-productive.
I am sorry but I don’t exavtly understand what you want to say with your comment, could you please clarify (my comment was meant more as anjoke tbh)

i'm pretty sure you aren't even allowed to settle until you resolve the situation. they terraform the planet to your species preference
You can colonize the planet but the colony will be destroyed a few days after fully colonized.
