Other species: Exploring the Galaxy

Birch bros: You guys explored your homeworld?

[MoonMorningstar]

The fun challenge is conquering the galaxy and placing EVERY species on this thing as a Authoritarian Xenophile :3

Red king coming in with another certified galactic community classic

"and then they all fucking died. The End."

I just love the way these video starts every time I hear “My Lords.” I know I’m in for some quality content keep it up Red

[Ace-lprf]

Just lost to the stellarborne in my first ACOT play through. The last of my empire transmitted a universe-wide message to warn others of them and to never open those gates.

A sphere .5 ly in diameter would apparently have the same surface area as 53 quadrillion Earth-sized planets. And that is _surface_ area, not land area. It would take light 1.5 earth years to travel around the surface of this sphere in a vacuum. I cannot imagine that they are the only sentient species within a couple of centuries travel ate pre-industrial speeds.

A Birch World would only have to be 1 ly in radius to have a 1 g surface if it was built around an artificial hypermassive black hole, one that was built by collapsing every star in a galaxy into it.

Currently a little sick and your videos are so relaxing that I wanna fall asleep to them but too interesting so I wanna stay up and listen. Please help

Had to re-watch this twice to properly understand the storyline. If you think about it a Birch World at it's maximum capacity would be able to produce, manufacture, have access to more resources from a Super Black hole plus a massive industrial output more then all the Imperium of Man's million worlds and the Galactic Empire from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series 25 million worlds combined.

A Birch World is so massive it may rival even the Forerunner's feats and largest structures they made within slipspace instead of real space. Such as the Forerunner Shield World 006 Trevelyan with is 2 AU in diameter however it doesn't have as much layer depth like the Birch world does and is mainly hollow. Though I did hear discussions about 11th dimensional scaling but due to Halo's interdimensional cosmology being it's own I don't know how accurate that claim is.

[Stevie-J]

First time I've seen someone besides Isaac Arthur mention a birch world. Awesome! 😄

[PandorasFolly]

Reminds me of two scifi stories

Ring world of course, but in particular the ringworms itself. On the ringworld were several great counterbalance oceans. In one of the oceans for giggles the creators had placed copies of the home world of basically every major life bearing world in the local area of space as they found them looong ago. This included earth and the Kzin homeworld, though earth was inhabited by honor erectus I think. The Kzin fulfilled the species dream of conquering earth by sailing huge ships to Earth's copy. A distance several times the distance from earth to our moon.

The new dlc coming will give you lots of lore to go over cosmogenis is super cool

[E_Kruger]

I've never played stellaris, but I am an avid scifi reader and writer (just for fun, never published anything) This is genuinely a great concept, and I really enjoyed the narration. Thank you for your retelling of this bit of lore, I really enjoyed it.

[rufussinijas]

Really love your way of story tellling! This one had a "backrooms" vibe to it, with all those layers. Was really depressing to hear them fall to the blokk menace 😒

[casartherandom]

Love these videos! You make some of the super long drives I have to do on occasion so much more bearable and make the game even more fun! Thank you so much!

[camera_man]

The more I see stuff from the giga structure mod the more I wish I had a pc and wasn’t on console

[ditlev]

hell yeah, just played this origin as well, top tier timing

[lite]

This is my favorite origin from the Gigastructures mod! It's just a pity that with the recent tech rework it's really hard to progress with the exploration...
