Of course... Vocaloid and vtubers empire... I was blind to the possibilities

[knightsotl]

Holy hell that backstory was hilarious and also oh so fitting. Its so great when the roleplay elements and the meta ones all come together...

[mb-electricalservices]

You had me at "died of cringe". Love your style! Nice change from the "norm" new sub for you pal. 👌

[ethanwmonster]

We're getting like super meta guys.

[RovingTroll]

Free Traders and Franchising to me have always been the actual Wombo Combo for megacorp. Those two civics have let me run a trade-exclusive empire, buying navies to vassalize my neighbors for everything money cant buy

Use tastymaid animated portraits instead for optimized anime portraits.

I tried this build, even had the same portraits installed. AI didn't stand a chance.
If they didn't accept "waifu laifu" they had to deal with my "Cosmogenesis" fleets.

[JohnnyCash-twps]

You can release vassals as non gestalts, I have done it recently in my game, though I’m a non gestalt empire robots.

Surprised that no one is talking about genesis guide unity rush. With 10 ships and 30k society research, you get 127500 unity and an extra 30 organic pops by year 25.

[dianabialaskahansen]

Would adaptive frames not be a better trait? Since it boosts so many jobs, and automods your pops to what is needed?

[davidk]

Good build, virtual is an insane ascension, and that backstory is hilarious.

Probably should've mentioned being careful with the amount of planets you colonize, since you start out with 175% resource production from virtual pops, dropping 25% with each colony. Counting up your planets at the end, you have a net 0% resource gain.

[iPuddingMan]

Thanks for the build! Picked up stellaris at the same time with a couple of buddies and it way crazier than what I'm used to. Only problem I'm hoping you could please provide some insight on is the that organic pops took over the jobs of my virtual clerks so I couldn't get the free research from them. Haven't found much else online about this. Thanks!

[emilico-pl]

I love this build, in my last game I had 80K energy lol

[RovingTroll]

I'm pretty sure you can release machines now. I released one after going virtual and it was oligarchic

[schishne]

The only time this build got countered was when everything that could go wrong, went wrong. I am in the midst of the worst playthrough I ever had in stellaris.

I just left the chair for a few seconds in a game with a friend of mine and came back with a consumer goods defecit level 3 and everything snowballed so hard that i am now whopping 80 years behind due to:



- almost constant random battles I needed to fend off like pirate raids suddenly hostile void worms of both at the same time



- A colony that I tried to shut down and rebelled almost immediately and spawned witha fleet with 3 times of my fleet power AND MY SHIP BUILD THAT WAS MADE TO DOMINATE EARLY GAME



- the other two hostile factions combined with the rebelling empire



- taking back the rebelling territoy with now overwhelming fleet power gets halted by an enemy corp supplying them with a stream of fighters



- everything is not progressing due to everthing flowing into alloys, so im fighting enemirs constantly with low tier tech, no time to go towards ecumonopolis due to tech being pathetic for the former reasons and habitats getting obliterated by attacks (rebel system is right next tp the capital btw)



I've never seen a game snowball this hard and pit everything against me, with perfect timing to counter all the positive situations I might add. Im seriously impressed with what insane situations I had to fight over and over. Quite the experience that kinda popped a few veines, all just because of consumer goofs defecit stage 3 plummetin.




So, what do we learn? Never let the game running while you have prodocution minus.

[judiktor]

Great build, tons of fun ! Just one question, on minute 7:01, you said we need to remember to put a ring (?) on both planets, what do you mean? sorry for my bad English and thank you for the video

[MrCatFromOuterSpace]

Wow. This is disgusting one! Gonna try it right away!

[ironmonkey]

I would just swap life seeded for doorstep

[char]

How can you get the orbital habitat research just before the 2nd ascension perk? I always get it too late, same for the climate restauration
