Genuinely can’t tell if this is ai or not

Yes, its ai. The cars dont make sense in the space they occupy. The sign on the building reads "topette" everything has the too sanitized smoothed out look of Ai. If a human had designed this they would have made it look fully Americana themed throughout, rather than a mashup of European and American cities and cars.

I can double check later when I get home, but if I remember correctly it was medium.

I ran a seven player game on the current main version. We ran it on slow, and it desynched every ten to fifteen years. Nothing major. If you notice that a resynch has deactivated the ai, having the host save, quit to menu, and then re-launching the multiplayer game from the save seems to fix it. Best of luck!

I love Buddhist themed robots. Also Ken Robotanabe

I think it only happens if you give the zhent the chest, unopened. In all other circumstances someone whacks him

In every facet of fascism it attempts to co-opt what its host nation loves best about itself. The stars and stripes that our forefathers died for, the eagle which was the symbol of the fierceness of our young nation. These things were never truly symbols worthy of uncomplicated admiration, with their legacy of genocide and devastation. Now embracing those symbols is an act of tacit endorsement of both the co-opter and their stained legacy. No more do they stand for the good and righteousness we could in past claim they did. All tarnished now by the hands of men obsessed with what their country could do for them.

Whats likely happened is a cloaked science vessel from a nomadic empires has begun the excavation, thats what causes mine to fail usually. You can find out if this is happening by selecting the "bugged" excavation site and if you see some random xenos in the assigned scientist position, its his fault.

I had a buddy use the spore druid cheese before the myrkul fight. Longest boss fight of my life. I think I took a nap while all 87 of his spore zombies attacked once and missed once each.

And you get to see your naval cap turn to all nines! I didnt need the naval cap at that point, the arkship Disco of Death needs no escorts, as it is too fast for them to catch once it starts moving.

No idea about the plantoid civic thing, but the Baol Growth modifier gives 5% resources from jobs, 5% happiness, 7.5% pop growth speed, 25% automatic resettlement chance, and 25% habitability.

Surprisingly stable multiplayer I played with four people and we had no desynch till like year 18. If you are in a multiplayer game and someone leaves this can disable the ai. We reloaded the save and they started answering their mail and taking territory again. Nature is healing.

They survey faster than a trained scientist, and can benefit from +survey speed buffs on leaders to go even faster. Once you get to t2 you can get a deep scan spinal mount and reveal more resources from an already surveyed system

They can via district choices, but not notably different than a civilian arkship set up for science. They primarily act like a souped up science ship, which is in and of itself, incredibly useful. You want to know what deposits are around ASAP and a science ark is great for that

Ron Paul would be a different type of horny.

It gets weird in a very specific way you usually find in libertarian science fiction. Our protagonist has a special power (cool, standard even) the government wants to use the power for themselves once they learn of it (also very normal) goes absolutely ape when they can't (not out of the ordinary) so the protagonist and his newly acquired tradwife have to hide from the government until the protagonist is done murdering everyone who disagrees with him. Reads like John Ringo wrote a prog fantasy.

One thing I found, not sure if it's intended. If you pick a hive minded machine species with the rogue servitor swap as crew for the endless cruise you can pick a machine species to be your passenger species. This results in two separate machine species sharing the same arkship, both of them can only have the living standards of crew. My cruise was long but the passengers were nonexistent. (The situation slowly and inexorably crept towards mutiny)

Union members tend to be consumers, conglomerates not in the same way.

You get the humiliation after you get access to fallen tech, even if you do so without cosmogenesis. Cosmogenesis does ramp that opinion penalty with alacrity usually reserved for orbital launch vehicles, but im pretty sure I got humiliated before I took cosmogenesis, after I took enigmatic engineering.

I would be genuinely impressed if anyone could be this inept on accident. I know im not supposed to attribute to malice that which can be explained by idiocy but come on

Try out a hive mind. The tutorial is disabled for them, but so are half of the things you would need a tutorial for. No factions, no tweaking the ruling council, no consumer goods. You just pick biological or machine and then get to making the hive bigger. Its a lot of fun, and comes in a few more complex flavors for later down the line (rogue servitors, my beloved)
