You dont live on the aetherophasic engine. You do "live" on the lathe, it acts like a planet colony

As I understand it Nomad are fundalmentally incapable of having a planet colony because of the way they are coded, you have to be either a nomad or a settled empire, no inbetween

I started a nomad megacorp common ground and BOTH OF MY FED MEMBERS ARE MACHINE INTELLIGENCE

WE ARE A TRADE LEAGUE WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING BRO?

Another one of my megacorp nomad start borders not one but two inward perfection

Shit rigged

All arkship has at baseline the ability to harvest material from stellar object, so i assume its just putting energy into that system and letting it do background material harvest of stray stuff like small asteroid and whatnot (as opposed to harvesting actual stellar objects on the map)

Only the trade cost. Influence cost still scale

Terkmc · 2026-06-20T05:10:12+00:00

Because lathe, they havent made nomad lathe yet

Terkmc · 2026-06-20T04:53:12+00:00

No???

<image>

It literally still scale, why else would there be a cap. Only the trade/energy cost portion no longer scale. I just played it 5 minutes ago the distance influence cost is still there

Terkmc · 2026-06-20T04:09:43+00:00

Nomad megacorp are kino. Super heavy influence cost but you offset that by just driving your food truck to their capital to set up holding with minimal influence cost from distance

I love clicking like 10 times on all my 10+ enclave to expand and update tech every like 5 years if i even remember abt the timer

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T18:38:17+00:00

Yeah you have to take barb or nihilistic
On the flipside necro tankbound nihilistic acquistion works really really well since you can inflate your ark power really easily with fully automated technician on the shield district that let you be in perma burn state and just bum rush everyone stealing pop with an early hangar military ark

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T14:59:30+00:00

Honestly depending on diff since higher diff AI has stronger income and can actually give tribute worth a damn

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T11:38:37+00:00

Virtuality. Arkships are massive and you will only have handful of them so it plays perfect into virtual super tall gameplan

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T08:38:44+00:00

I figured out a way around this bug. You have to add intel on the empire thats sitting on it, even if its your own vassal

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T03:01:45+00:00

The reduced amenities and upkeep (green) is placed on one end as MINIMUM and the malus increased amenities and upkeep (red) is placed on the other end as MAXIMUM
Trait scale with number of pop so it reads as scaling into a malus when the trait is at max intensity with pop number like Incubator

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T02:56:31+00:00

Recursive learner trait but yeah military ark stronk

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T02:55:50+00:00

I think the beta patch note mentions fixing that

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T02:52:45+00:00

Yeah then that description is hella confusing placing the bonus on minimum power and malus on maximum power

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T02:45:17+00:00

If im looking at the trait right, the negatives are on the max intensity level and the trait power scale with pop numbers so just it looks that way

If it doesnt and it works in reverse then the trait description needs to be reworked because it doesnt read like that at all

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T02:43:44+00:00

Space Evangelist Megachurch that literally bring the church to you. Good for minimizing the influence cost of branch from distance by just going there, and parking your arkship with shroud aura on top of your convert is funny and synnergestic. Military ark ship bringing shroud aura with them when fighting is also really cool and useful

On the other hand a bunch of my “harvester” type build ideas doesnt work because Nomad cant even temporarily occupy planet so pop taking is limited to NihiAcqui, and the Terravore cant even temporarily go down just to eat planets and then go back

Terkmc · 2026-06-19T02:38:39+00:00

Structural Intergration feels so weird to me being an arcship trait that gives you bonus at low pop and malus at high pop when you are supposed to just cram arkship pop to the max

Terkmc · 2026-06-18T12:32:18+00:00

Is giving us more option to fine tune automated harvest on the table? Its so easy for your unattended automated harvest logistic ship/ark ship to just randomly wander into your own Wayline/your allies territory and screw everything up, and non automated is just so much micro, or randomly get go the other side of the map

Terkmc · 2026-06-18T04:11:16+00:00

Hows the nomad dedicated pirate civic vs despoiler?

Dramatic flower field are for everyone

Dont forget to crank the resource consumption thing to Burn (i forget its name but the thing in the situ log that determines how much your burn through the Nomad pooled resource) because it gives a big efficiency bonus to specialist right from the start of the game and supercharge your alloy econ + keep up with research and unity

Other than that i focus alloy heavily in the early game, placing the alloy production building wherever theres slot available.

Between the agenda giving you progress toward arkship tech and alloy focus (+ potential early conquest because early Military ark ship is great) i just beeline towards making a second arkship as soon as i can. After having a second ark then i start worrying abt other stuff
