The Rarest Events in Stellaris

[@gallendugall8913]

Missed the rarest event - the end of the game.

[@natanoj16]

I have never seen that event!

I got it only once, didn't pay attention and ended up 50 years later very confused.

[@seanstoica6301]

I'll never forget when I used a ring world start and immediately found sanctuary. That was probably the most overpowered run I've ever had.

[@Protect_all_ljf3forms]

Sounds epic

[@blizzliker]

Nice

[@davecrupel2817]

I had a normal planet within 3 systems of Sanctuary! AND Cybrex! 1 ring was half food and half alloy. 1 ring was all energy. Didn't have to worry about energy creds for a looong time.

[@Guru13666]

I've only found it once in my games a few month ago but it was in the late game when I've already had half of the galaxy under my control.

[@seanstoica6301]

@@Protect_all_ljf3forms it was. Since I found it so early I dumped everything into military. By the time I took it I was already incredibly powerful since I took it really fast. I was also in a spiral arm and could protect myself with space stations. After I got that second ring going I was basically an end game crisis.

For me the rarest “event” is finding earth in WW2. Done a ton of games specifically looking for it and just nada. Also the voidspawn

[@TheArklyte]

Have you tried game wiki and forums?

[@Nordoyle]

@@TheArklyte Yes, the forums came up with people complaining about how rare something was but nowhere was there was a breakdown of how rare they were. The wiki gives the hard numbers but you have to go through every event to find out what is the rarest but that doesn't give you the rarity from a practical gameplay standpoint just the percentage.

[@A_Spec]

@@Nordoyle the percentages and conditions are sadly only in the script files, which you need to dig through.

This just makes me wish that there was a rare events for psionic empires to become a hive mind with unique bonuses. Like how synthetics and machine empires are different but synthetics being superior

[@toddoverholt4556]

Well psionic empires do have that event that lets you deify your chosen one. But I do agree that being able to transition to some kind of alternate hive mind the way that a synth asc empire is effectively a machine empire but not

Had a friend get the galatron in a megamodded game. Since he was new and scared of people attacking him. I asked to make him a vassal. He accepted, then I got all his relics and the galatron. He has since never accepted being vassal again.

[@Awesoman66]

I got the Galatron 3 different times in the same game once. Twice the normal way, and once from a modded dig site. Unfortunately, they didn't stack.

[@gdray82]

My Aquatics iron man game had both Brain Slugs and Nivlac. I guess that luck was to make up for all the other unlucky events in the game. I had only two small wet worlds in my territory other than my homeworld, everything else is sub 20% habitability. Two of my neighbors were tomb world hive minds (so no pops if i conquer and the planets are shit, especially for a spiritualist) and the other two were advanced start aggressive militant empires that curb stomped me at year 40 and took half my territory. A wormhole opened from my admin planet to a powerful slaving despot empire who promptly leveled the planet and stole half its pops, crippling my empire. Three L gates were somehow in my territory which was less than 10% of the galaxy at this point, so of course the ai activated the gate early and Grey Tempest came out.

[@abellinns4013]

Me: Life Seeded lithoids that found two size 25 planets near home. Not me: A neighbor megachurch that I befriended and made a hegemony with early in the game. Also Me: Discovering two broken megastrutures and the Sanctuary at the other side of my friend borders all of that now in his possession.

[@125discipline2]

what's nivlac??

[@dronewars7186]

Man I used to get lucky as hell, now trying out the aquatics my luck has gone to shit but my site finding luck has gone up. Cant find any planets, neighbors are genocidal or some fanatical boi who wants to convert me. Idk man seems that space pirate luck is nonexistent :P

[@ElectricPickleAttack]

@@125discipline2 Nivlac is the name of the species that gets created by the Impossible Organism event chain. The event chain is triggered by an anomaly that has a very small chance to proc on toxic worlds, and when you finish the chain you can either add pops of a new species to a random planet you control or have them found their own empire, which may or may not hate you depending on your decisions. In either case the Nivlac are amazing, with a unique trait that gives them +50% habitability and +15% pop growth speed. They can live anywhere and if you genemod them with rapid breeders or fertile and sign a few immigration treaties they will TAKE OVER THE GODDAMN GALAXY! If you play with Xeno-Compatibility you can (if you are lucky) get a hybrid of Nivlac and your main species that has the special Nivlac trait, but Xeno-Compatibility is so buggy that it isn't worth the trouble.

[@randomdude2386]

There’s this one event where a ruined ring world will spawn and when the systems surveyed, it gives an event chain that can lead to unfreezing nerve stapled pops from ringworld cryo. Only happened to me once, and I didn’t get to see if anything else happened past reviving the pops, but it was quite interesting

[@remor698]

Gotta love how the galactic imperium titles start out in a normal numerical fashion, then, past the tenth come in with titles of grandiose finality, even going so far as to deem number 13 "the truly last galactic imperium", before just going for "another galactic imperium" for all the ones after, as if the entire galaxy just has had enough of all this constant rising and falling of empires.

[@michal_1725]

A bit late to the party but one pretty rare event and one of my personal favourites is the "Hole In The Void" event It's connected to the Prethoryn Scourge crisis and to get it to happen you must capture a Prethoryn Queen through the "Wounded Queen" event, be psionic and wait a 100 years. After all that you get the event, it's a huge wall of text essentially but it is pretty spooky.... (Spoilers below) You learn that over the last few months, the Captured Queen has been getting very uneasy, while at first it is theorized that she's just missing the connection with the rest of her kind, that is not the case. Your telepaths find that she's actually still in contact with her kind and has been frantically speaking about a "hole in the void". Your empire is baffled by this until a team of scientists researching Prethoryn intergalactic travel who are trying to map a path of where they went before they got to you discover that a small spiral galaxy located about 30 million light years from your own has...... disappeared. The galaxy was discovered in the pre-FTL era of your species but has now stopped producing any form of light detectable by your sensors. It has simply vanished from the sky. Either something caused all of its stars to go out all at once or there is something so large that its obscuring the entire galaxy. Most people in your empire are disturbed by this, while some like to think that the galaxy never even existed at all and was an error of primitive telescopes. You get a bit of physics research.

[@BaneHydra]

If a galaxy 30 million light years from our own disappeared from our view, wouldn't this mean that it had already been gone for 30 million years?

[@michal_1725]

@@BaneHydra Yep it would. That makes it all the more disturbing as your empire has no idea which other galaxies might be gone even though you can still see their light.

[@enderlord3297]

My days of exploring the stellaris wiki have paid off, only one I didn't know of was the another galactic imperium.

[@RandomGuy-qr5jw]

Had all the stuff you were talking about at least once - but the crystal empire. Even though I almost exclusively play Voiddwellers, I never even knew they existed

[@scyobiempire4450]

I knew they did (due to looking in the files and asking in the Wiki if it is a hoax) and in my insanely lucky 3.1 game I.... Haven't found them. I've got the Worm, Slugs a random AI has the Galatron but no Crystalline Enclave.

[@xvx_k1r1t0_xvxkillme7]

So does the Crystal Empire just have 1 large Enclave space-station as their territory? Whats with the "Crystal" theme? Is it just how they build stuff or is there species made of crystal? Where do they come from? Man I want to learn more about these guys. The fact that they spawn so rarely helps with the mystery involving them. Most Stellaris player never even knew they existed until this video.

[@bronztrooper9440]

Bit late (only just saw this video), but I've had the Crystalline Enclave spawn a couple times. Wasn't playing Void Dwellers but there were other empires that were Void Dwellers so as long as someone has that origin, they can spawn. If you aren't Void Dwellers they just ask for alloys in exchange for energy instead of giving you pops, so you can still interact with them. Honestly, I thought it was part of Gigastructures until I saw this video. Kind of crazy that it's from Stellaris itself

[@CoLdPlAyEr1694]

In a game I recently played, I came across the nanites time bomb. But instead of giving me a natine ship or terraforming a Gaia World for me, a nanite swarm settled on a planet. I then got an event chain, giving me access to 3 distinct options - leting it live, destroying it or trying to controll it. I choose the latter and "the swarm" terraformed the planet in a size 20+ world, suited for my species and on top on that a planetary modifier, recuding building cost and upkeep as well as contributing 25% to engineering research. I did not even know that that possibility for the event existed.

[@Heshla_Biea]

I've had the brain slug spawn twice within the five games I've played and sanctuary once. In terms of rare things, I'd include the event chain where you rescue gas giant people and move them around to "colonize" planets and have a civil war. They are totally invisible outside of events. I only had it happen once. Edit: Gas Giant Signal is what it's called.

Paridayda. Got that one too, during one of my first games of Stellaris. Never saw it again though

[@orcinus6802]

I never would’ve guessed brain slugs were rare. I only recently started playing Stellaris a few months ago. In the three games I’ve played, I got brain slugs all three times. Maybe the developers made it a more common event with 3.0?

[@foxdavion6865]

The entire time I've played Stellaris, Project Blue Lotus never spawned once for me. I've seen the brain slug event happen twice; I've seen Horizon signal three times and I've seen the Reliquary once. I've been playing the game on and off for days on end since launch. I've logged over 1200 hours in this game. So think on that, considering I've only seen those events in that time (considering that I've roughly played about 800 hours since they were all added). Just shows how rare they are. These were times when I saw them legitimately. I've never seen the Crystal Enclave before. This is new to me.

[@amphitheremajesticon4928]

I got 450 and I've gotten the galatron, seen the sea of consciousness, gotten the horizon signal 2-3 times, but I have never heard of Nivlac or the Lotus. I knew brain slugs existed because of modded origins but never actually gotten it.

[@DonnaPinciot]

Only 1200 hours since 2016? I've had it since 2019, and I'm up to 710.4. That said, I do recall seeing the Brain Slugs at least once, but I've also only gotten the worm friend once. I see the reliquaries pretty much every game, but I never really buy anything from them. For the longest time, I actually assumed they were a modded thing.

I've seen Sanctuary once, it was in a game where I got Cybrex as my precursor and had an abandoned ringworld in the system next to my home system. Literally 3 Ringworlds in my territory before I even had mega engineering. I've seen the brain slug event several times, it's one of my faves. I've never seen any of the others.

I had a really good spawn from about 10 matches ago, I spawned in a group of 6 systems with only a single exit choke point, ruined Dyson Sphere, Ruined Matter Decompressor, Ruined Ring world, an L-gate and Cybrex precursor, as void dwellers... Let's just say that about 20 years after I got mega engineering marked the point where I went from being a decent empire with a series of defensive choke points made of fortress habitats, into an unstoppable monstrosity of unbreakable defenses and endless waves of assault fleets warping out of every L-gate to wage war across the galaxy. That incident has led to one additional rule within the group of friends that I regularly play multiplayer stellaris with, that if I specifically, am to control an L-gate, it will be seen as an act of war and will be taken off of me by force.

@@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 lol sounds like they underestimated you

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

@@arounor it's less that they underestimated me, and more that I just wasn't playing the way I usually did before hand, because the previous 4 matches I was either a megacorp or a nice pacifist empire of my design called Gaia Incorporated which was based around using Gaia Seeders to turn relatively crap worlds into Gaia worlds that I would sell off to my friends for massive piles of minerals and alloys. Those first few matches were recon, learning their playstyles, preferred ship configurations, basic setups, all that jazz. That match was a step before my more standard playstyle, because I saw the megastructures, and decided to be a ticking time bomb, one which they didn't realise they had to deal with, after that, my standard Plantoid, Post Apocalypse, Radiotrophic, Fanatical Purifier builds came out to play interspersed with driven assimilators to keep them on their toes. But Survivor, Radiotrophic and Budding, is a nasty combination.

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

@@arounor To be fair, I'm not that good, just good at figuring out what things can be combined in unexpected ways in order to become game breaking. If you want to truly be a dick though, Radiotrophic, Post Apocalypse Hivemind, and figure out how to get yourself armegedon bombardment stance, at which point, turn every world you take off the enemy into a tomb world, and settle your pops on it, if they want to take it back off of you, they then have to deal with a tomb world where likely the only pops they have that can be happy there, are slowly dying out due to no longer being connected to your Hivemind.

The galatron CAN be gotten by the AI from the caravaneers.

[@antontribelgorn3641]

A note on sactuary, If one of the Pre-FTL empires enters space, the system will permenantly stop them from expansion by repeatedly killing the starbase, and making it impossible for them to make any ships.

[@arodreth]

I think I've seen the crystal enclave event, but I didnt pursue it, as it was a game that I have lost xD I've played void dwellers a lot, so that would make sense.

[@orctrihar]

I got sanctuary 2 in probably 10 game Never got the lotus ! *What was will be* The Worms are really rare yet really good That Magic pop event never happened to me The problem with galatron is not the chance it appear, is that we have a limited chance to try to get it

I've gotten the Galatron twice! I always try to roll for it! Didn't know how rare it was, but that makes sense! To be honest, the first time I found it was on one of my opposing empires, so I decided to... fix that. It deserved to be in the hands of the Imperial Nexus, after all.

I got the Horizon Signal on one of my FIRST games. My society of Technocrats converted to Spiritualism between the Shrine of the Gods and this and it's was incredible. I had no idea what was going on and I've HOPED to have it happen again because it was super interesting. My current game JUST got Brain Slugs and they are AWESOME.

[@tomisabum]

Yeah, Horizon Signal went full ham on the lore, and I think encouraged Paradox to fiddle with events more in a way they and the custodian team really are now.

I've seen Nivlac exactly 1 time in over 3500 hours of playtime. It was while I was playing a RS that had lost its organic pops in a series of unlikely events involving a xenophobic fallen empire. It was one of the more memorable games I've played.

[@vexcine]

Haven't watched, but Sanctuary for sure. 36 days played and only seen it twice, once pre alloys era, and again a couple weeks ago.Era, Edit: Sanctuary is by far my favorite system in the game. I had great memories with it the first time and every game I play I want to find it. I got all the primitives to uplift at once and fight each other on the edge of the galaxy, with me being a blocker to leaving the system. Sadly the fight was cut short because of the the end game crisis but was fun while it lasted

Well thank you for that. That's going to be many more hours of Stellaris. Couple of those i have seen a few times in my playthroughs but the others not. And that's after thousands of hours of playing.
