I always went for Synthetics and just didn't bother with Sapient Combat AI. Contingency's sorta nostalgic as the first(and only) crisis I went up against, but AI Uprisings... those have never happened to me. And probably never will b/c I'd probably just give them rights anyway even without the threat.

[@EricLidiak]

There are two ways to prevent uprising: Give them rights, or take flesh is weak. If your pops are cyborgs, robots never rebel

[@StarshadowMelody]

@@EricLidiak I like how option 2 is to join them. Still would give them rights even if I take Flesh is Weak though.

[@crazysquirrel1577]

idk i always feel bad if my robots arent real citicens so i give them rights :D

[@EvitoCruor]

Giving rights to an inherently flawed tool seems rather counterintuitive. If you don't mind neutral nets why not become robot, if you do mind why allow the tools you built to decide what they want to do. And if you don't want either route why build them in the first place unless you're really twisted and want to larp BSG for real.

[@Shane21111990]

39:57 - Best plot surprise ever

[@marcoscruz6883]

I know right, I saw their territory and I was like are they having an uprising

[@GamesCooky]

I actually played the game yesterday and saw that the AI had started with the Doomsday origin. Suddenly a news flash across the Galaxy that their homeworld had exploded. And to my surprise, the AI had managed to survive. It's nice to see even the AI is capable of surviving the Doomsday origin. Of course, this AI will probably be a weak pushover for quite a while.

[@EvitoCruor]

To me it seems the AI will start to play as if it was Condition Fortress Europa and make himself impregnable against early game fleets. Which ofcourse is the correct choice if it can't expand and the folks around are too strong to conquer

Hey Aspec, next time you open a diplo window with those clankers, mouse over their Origin, it says Separatists, and i'm curious to see what effects it has :) also, i'm considering starting a Rogue Servitor playthrough (never played them, i've always gone Skynet or Borg) on a ruined ring world (since they can't do machine worlds), and i was wondering if you had any advice. As for this Doomsday Origin, i looked through the files, and it says in the text files that there are no habitable worlds near your start system, so no matter how many times you do it over, you will always struggle to find habitable worlds close to your home system.

Wait, built two. I thought you could only build one.

[@louiswinterhoff334]

Commander Knight no i think paradox made it so that you could build two of most or each kind of megastructure, and then there’s an edict where you can build two megastructures at once

[@EricLidiak]

You can only build 1 of each type of megastructure, excluding habitats and gateways. This does not prevent you from repairing a second copy, or conquering a neighboring empire that built their own.

[@louiswinterhoff334]

Eric Lidiak then how do I have 3 strategic centres?

[@niko8050]

@@louiswinterhoff334 Found one, built one, conquered one.

[@N1ghthavvk]

It's actually easier to check where you can build a megastructure if you rightclick on a star and choose "build megastructure" on it, then hover over the greyed out entries. It will tell you why it won't be possible there (e.g. cannot built due to existing orbital station, cannot build in a binary or trinary system, cannot build around a star, etc.). Then you'll know where it'd be possible or what you need to change.

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

I just subscribed in the hopes that you'll continue this playthrough in particular. (I'll also take a look at what other Stellaris videos you'll put out in the future, like I've done in the past whenever my interest in Stellaris was piqued, like it is now in fact.) P.S.: By the way, I have a name to suggest for your Juggernaut, which I presume is the pride of your exiled species' fleet. Given how the Juggernauts all seem to resemble flying wing bombers like the B-2 Spirit (a resemblance shared by its inspirational source, The Supremacy, a.k.a. the First Order's flagship from Star Wars: The Last Jedi), given how they're limited to just 1 per empire, and given how your empire was born from a need to evacuate their doomed homeworld of Absolom, I'd name your Juggernaut the "Spirit of Absolom".

On the Mega-Shipyard, it provides 20 additional slots, not 60, and can't build titans, juggernauts, or colossi.

[@EricLidiak]

Fleet manager? Or ship design? I split defense modules right down the middle. If it's odd, I add one more armor. On the weapons side, build the biggest guns each size can have, plus a missile variant, and a point defense or carrier variant. On the destroyers, use smaller guns instead of a missile variant. It's entirely up to you if you pick kinetic or laser. On the Juggernaut and Titan, put the healing aura, then the fighter or strike craft buff one.
