I recently spent over 20 hours assimilating a galaxy onto a Birch world....had an assimilation queue of over 400 pops for like 2 hours. I left the galaxy abandoned/unclaimed, cracked every habital world/habitat, killed the Dessu Consanance in the extra-galactic cluster, and converted the "Robotic Observer" system outside the galaxy into a vassal to preserve a robot species. I wasn't sure how to conquer the Urmani traders system outside the galaxy though. Final pop total was ~3900.

[@huntre111]

@@warbrain1053 Frameworlds get ludicrous '1-month growth tics' once you get enough outposts, and can grow two pops at the same time, which initially lets them keep up with the parallel pop growth that other civs get, but the fact the Frameworld is more housing--efficient than any multi-planet empire means they can get massive pop growth once they pass the mid-game housing crunch and out-scale them.

[@warbrain1053]

love how you're using the lathe as a sort of gulag with that 100% crime rate

[@MrKimidoriMK]

The new blokkat lore kinda suggests this is the origin they started with or evolved into. See the new cosmogenisis events for reference I won't spoil

[@redenginner]

The Blokkats basically do the frame world but at a scale where an entire galaxy is an asteroid harvest to them. All to send like 3 blokkats past the atom shredder to recreate their organic versions that eventually launch a failed invasion of the space bunnies that ends with them building the 1ly birchworld.

[@SgtCookie111]

8:10 C'mon, ASpec. "Hostile takeover" was _right_ there.

[@pain-5500]

I feel like you missed out on telluric dismantling ap which would allow you to harvest all planets and turn them into extra frame districts much more efficiently than just alloys and asteroids EDIT: ascension perk is actually called 'celestial warship assembly' and unlocked by it is is called 'hyperefficient telluric dismantling' which allows you to get 'planetary mass' for frame

​@@A_Specyeah, you could've ground down planets instead of asteroids for modules.

17:38 acording to my calculation it's 260 987 367 068 beings, with one pop being worth 287 747 924 beings, also good video as always, I would love to see more Gigastructures videos

[@jade_orb]

I am genuinly curious how you came to that conclusion.

[@piotrekb586]

@jade_orb I calculated that from the earth population in game, and real world population, so it might be a little of but one pop is roughlu 287 747 924 beings

I actually loved that movie, even if it apparently fell well short of the source comic. I'm just a big Luc Besson fan.

[@FlightofCrows]

Discovering an abandoned gateway is a requirement for the gateway tech to spawn. Change the gateway slider to 0.0x while generating the map, and no one in your galaxy will ever roll the tech.

[@HaloDude557]

Awakened empires can actually build gateways

[@ArcaneFuror]

I was astonished hearing it was only a 12 hour game with how much happened. ...my twelve hour games are lucky to get to mid/end game since if I go faster than normal for too long I fall behind because there's always so much to balance or read. Micromanagement is hard and I frequently have to pause 😅 Honestly wish there were QoL mods to pre-design ships and fleets.

[@A_Spec]

I play nearly exclusively on Fastest.

[@iccson1171]

So what was the pop growth you ended up with? Last time i played frameworld i had like 280 per month with already a huge penalty ofc(special maintance drone), Machine empire with the modular tradition has the -80% pop housing trait.

[@A_Spec]

@@iccson1171 sounds about right, I had to turn off pop assembly because of housing issues

[@mathhews95]

Due to game engine / ui limitations the mass harvest thing can't happen. Cuz can add a new button to the construction ship ui. This was requested before on the Gigas discord and the answer they gave us was this

[@A_Spec]

Shame, it's really painful in the current context

[@Snoozerx]

I had to stop playing for a while because for some reason, my planets randomly wanted a time every month or every other month just unemployed every single pop on the planet for no reason I don’t know why it’s doing that. I don’t know how to stop it, but I have to keep going in there and assigning everybody to jobs again for no reason, it makes it a chore when you have like 20 planets

[@acadiano10]

Good quick campaign. I want to do similar with Necrophage but maybe in the L-Cluster. Penrose spheres are pretty awesome.

[@ItsJustKorbin]

Frameworld is always fun to play as when i do mutiplayer games, imo

So... This is just Star Trek Borg playthrough :D "We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

The concept is blowing my mind. My god man, what have you done! Also its been years since I've played Stellaris and since when did we get planets that were spaceships? Wondering Earth? More like Battleship Earth.

Oh god, I just realized Virtual ascension is probably god-tier with the Frame World, as you're guaranteed like +150% resources from jobs...

[@anthonymudge9768]

Hey Aspec, I found I couldn't attack Centana until she declared war on my Empire. I would get the garbled message saying I could finally enter her systems immediately after we went to war Edit: WHY is there no shipyard on the hyperstructural assembly yard, you're missing out on 90! ship yards!!

[@A_Spec]

I had something like 90 different megastructures, managing them all is a real chore. So it probably slipped through.

[@anthonymudge9768]

Yep, I've done that before and I was kicking myself doh, thanks for the video :)

[@tartarussauce2498]

about the gateways: apparently to get the gateway technology as a research option you first need to find an abandoned gateway somewhere

[@Archgeek0]

HEH, the brief Squareworld cameo was priceless.

[@Fullapple1991]

[@xixi6253]

Frame world is painful if you do not play with additional ascension slot and more building slots it's absolute garbage if you want to reach the end game and fight the blokkats, you need systemcrafts. and to get systemcraft you need : -galactic wonders -gigastructural construct -colossus project -celestial warship assembly -esoteric celecstial weaponisation ok but why is it only a problem specific to frame world tho ? because frameworld has a couple of upgrades that you only get for taking some ascension perks : -arcology project which you need to get better housing districts (they are really necessary because the other district only provide 2 housing -voidborn which will reduce the cost of adding new orbitals to the frame world add the one you need for ascension path and you end up in a very peculiar situation : you actually can't ascend until AFTER you get galactic wonder, which isn't a problem for the regular empire since the late game artificial planets are much stronger than an ecumenopolis not to mention the origin is super slow with more ascension perks and more building slot tho, it can get fun, still super slow tho

[@colecook834]

The last I did a frame build I could not have enough planetary build speed

[@rendstung1665]

I was expecting it to end with energetic ascension via colossus.

[@MasterAries7]

lol, i played a Frame world...on that accursed "The Line" map you introduced us too. Worked great til the crisis came, lol

I was doing a similar run not that long ago. Take a look at Byzantine Bureaucracy. I had -1264 housing -1641 amenities with 100% stability. Super busted for the frame.

[@alternative915]

Wish the devs actually made this as an origin, there's isnt enough voidbound factions for us to play

[@J0krswy1d]

The first few seconds.. Aspec thinking.. uh oh! Liked. Although.. 4.12?!

[@DaserTheGamer]

Aspec would you consider trying out Sparable's Stellar Hyperconstructs? Its kinda goes nuts on actual theoretical hyperstructures (even going down to the microscale, there's a crisis path related to that) and it has its own end game crisis that is literally the universe falling apart. (Also its compatible with Gigastructural Engineering)
