I think that you can only terraform desecrated world's, as a kind of restoration act to restore the true deities. So you can terraform tomb world's and relic world's, but nothing else. Does this make sense? I hope this makes sense. And the same with tinab prime. I would have terraformed it because the unstable planet is a God in agony, and it was the only way to save it. It now lives in eternal torment, infinite suffering. Well done, protectors.

[@marshroverv5632]

Tinab Prime was being terraformed to something else, so continuing the terraforming on that would just be them completely destroying an injured god. You could say that could be considered putting it out of its misery, but I don't think the Protectors would agree.

[@stellarisfan5456]

Imagine having half of your organs removed, then the doctors all dying. Then some new people turned up and took apart the only way for the operation to be finished, leaving you in 24/7 agony for the rest of existance because you are immortal.

[@marshroverv5632]

@@stellarisfan5456 What you're suggesting is the new people remove the other half of your organs that were keeping you alive.

@@marshroverv5632 And then putting a whole new set in, thus saving it, even if it is changed from the true form

[@marshroverv5632]

@@stellarisfan5456 Well no, not by the Protectors' logic. They worship worlds in their original form, so when a world is changed from its original form, that god would be considered dead. What would be a move in character for them would be to undo the terraforming however, maybe with the reverse engineered technology, thus turning the planet back into its original form. Continuing the terraforming would never be a correct move in their eyes.

[@locoarticwolf2181]

Maybe terraforming “broken”worlds could be seen as helping or healing their gods by the protectors?

[@Squid_does_games9638]

You should rush habitats so that you don’t need to colonise planets and disturb their nature or wildlife So you can worship them in all their glory from space

[@destroy141]

he should replay these guys in the federation dlc when it comes out. (you can start in habitats)

[@ExplizitDuester]

I'm always down for rushing habitats. thats my go to move, alone for the pop growth they are worth it IMO . good synergy with warrior culture because the entertainmnet districts boost fleet cap

[@dreadpenguinlord340]

This, yes! And no planet mining allowed - everything must come from off-worlds. It might be tricky to have an all-space civilization since a ring world would basically be the worst sin for this species (destroying a whole system worth of planets!)

[@xanthpuns]

Hey Lathrix, here is how the consecrated world's work: There are four tiers of consecration a planet can have, influenced by RNG and planet type: - Hive worlds, machine worlds, AI worlds, and city worlds cannot achieve a higher tier than 1. - Asteroids, tomb worlds, gas giants, and shielded worlds have an 80% chance of being tier 1 and a 20% chance of being tier 2. - All other uninhabitable planets not of the classes above have a 10% chance of being tier 1, 70% chance of being tier 2, and 20% chance of being tier 3. - All other habitable worlds expect the ones listed above and Gaia worlds have a 50% chance of being tier 2, a 40% chance of being tier 3, and a 10% chance of being tier 4. - Gaia Worlds will always be tier 4.

I think it would be okay to terraform planets to gaia worlds, especially since even the spiritualist faction have a demand where you don't colonize or terraform tomb worlds, _unless_ you're turning it into a gaia world. So maybe there's something less bad about terraforming into gaia worlds? You also could have started on a gaia world and look at other planet types as side effects of treating your planet badly, and terraforming them as restoring them to their true nature.

[@MakyProchy]

[@archapmangcmg]

I think converting ecumenopolises, tomb worlds and relic worlds into a regular or gaia world fits nicely. Also, Voidborn. Go all in on habitats to leave those worlds pristine. (RP reasons mostly.)

[@YberDC]

Hey Lathland, I think you should try the mods Zenith of Fallen Empires and Ancient Cache of Technologies for a let's play. They work together and are good fun, and work perfectly fine with 2.5.1 Good video as always.

[@gewitterhund3164]

Consecrated worlds is great when you have the divine fallen empire in your vicinity, since their holy worlds are perfect suited to be yours too.

[@dicerson9976]

I love the improbable ceramics anomaly. It's a reference to Bertrand Russell's teapot, in which he shows that the burden of proof falls onto those making unfalsifiable claims. He did this by asserting that, somewhere between the Earth and Mars, there is a teapot floating around that is too small to be seen by telescopes. The idea is that the assertion claims that since noone can prove him wrong, he must be right. Obviously, the point is to illustrate that the opposite is the case. Something isn't right just because it cannot be shown to be wrong.

[@uhoh8115]

"planet is kil" "no"

[@sn1per367]

In regards to relic worlds, I think that they should be remade or consecrated, because the protectors see that all things die eventually, and that they can learn much from their great ancestors who once lived in a sprawling city Edit: I don’t know if you know this but press control shift left click on something to make it go before anything in the queue. (For example a special project)

[@andynonya6391]

I liked and am presently commenting. Helping you, helping the channel, and showing that Stellaris is a series I’d like to see continue. I’ve been playing for about a year and a half, still trying to get a good grasp at all the mechanics and such. Ya, I have limited game time to sit at the PC.

[@shcadeyt6722]

Yes!! Stellaris is back!!

[@mattyb5308]

Nice to see another stellaris game! :) So I see a lot of opinions saying terraform barran/tomb/Ecumenopolis worlds, and while I did initially think that, I've changed my mind for a couple of reasons: 1) Most of the opinions come from the idea that the protectors are restoring the planet to its original state/reviving it, but my understanding is that the protectors revire the ball of rock itself, not its ability to sustain life. Terraforming these planets would therefore simply be sins on top of sins, something most religions would generally be against 2) Even if we assume terraforming is returning them to their original state, is that something the protectors would even want? Even if a God emperor spiritulists in stellaris dont try to cheat death. Thats the domain of materialists and moving to robot bodies. I always imagine them as having a peroid of mourning and even doing things to preserve the body, but also celebrating the rebirth of their immortal soul in the next God Emperor. I think the reaction of the protctors would be similar. Concecrate the worlds. Honour their momories and celebrate their rebirth (Meaning I think they should want to control nebulae, as the place where stars and planets are born)

[@jossypoo]

I was just rewatching your stellaris 2hr playthroughs last night and hoping we would get a new 30min episodic campaign! As much as i love the 2hr ones, i never feel connected to those empires, less emotionally involved with the surprises.

[@purpledevilr7463]

You should build as many habitats as you can and migrate all your pops from the planets to the habitats

[@purpledevilr7463]

Maybe you could even redo this once federations come out as I believe there is going to be a origin that places you on a habitat to start with

[@purpledevilr7463]

And because you’re a lithoid you don’t have to worry about food production

[@mitchellcraine8906]

Man I forgot how much I love this game good to seeing u play it

[@raf74hawk12]

I agree with the people saying that you should terraform worlds that have been devastated into tomb worlds or built into ecumenopoli. Terraform them into what, I'm not sure, but I think that it would be fitting to the narrative.

[@xdtechniker2554]

Two things. First: I usually do discovery first, and then expansion, so I can scout faster further and then spam out colonies, almost brick my economy, come back stable, then brick it again, then come back again, and then usually go to war to get the last few systems. Secondly: do you know the mod carrying capacity? A neat little mod, making endgame mircoing of planets way easier. It basically models pop growth after real life carrying models of populations in real life. (Also check out the Dark UI, the gold variant, it looks really good.)

[@wasana0310]

We shall be waiting for more.

[@shadowofhawk55]

In response to the Relic worlds, I think the Protectors would use them similar to how the allies used Dr. Josef Mengle's research. It was gained in a horrific way, made by horrible people, but could be used to save more lives (in this case preserve more planets).

[@shaynelowe9604]

Feels like it has been far too long since we had a Stellaris upload, thank you Lathland!

[@KaitoSound]

My Lord you have return

[@jagothegamer5750]

I feel like if you colonized tomb and relic worlds you could make the case that your people are simply comforting the worlds that are in pain? Or, as many others have said, you could terraform only devastated worlds. Perhaps, you could terraform them, then concencrate them as a way of telling the planet that what happened to them will never happen again?

[@cameronvg2861]

I feel like adding an additional rule that if you find a ruined world you have to convert it. Like as these people seeing how the planet has been destroyed and wanting to restore it to its former glory from what it used to be. Something along those lines. And maybe never setting foot on gia worlds like how other spiritualists do. The terraforming can be whatever you wish or using the placement of the planet making a educated guess of what it used to be. And maybe another thing where if the other civilizations make super cities that when you take those your restore them.

[@cameronvg2861]

A idea on how you could allow gia worlds. The planet gods are not perfect gods. Only gias are perfect gods and are higher on the god tier than normal planets and desecrated being the lowest. The planets some are naturally made Gia while others make their species of sentient beings in order to improve their world and make them as gias. And it is right to make the gods even better via improving them as like worship

[@craiganderosn411]

Feels like it has been years since your last Stellaris video. Please keep them coming I enjoy them very much!

[@gothgamergrill]

Alright, to add another voice to the masses: Concentrate relic worlds, and "restore" (terraform) tomb worlds

[@KudzuHaiku]

Changing worlds into Gaia worlds could be seen as healing them and restoring them to pure form.

[@vladdrakuul]

Going there and living there IS healing it if you are the thunberg empire. As well as I would suggest terraforming tombworlds but only those, and eradicating anything with tombworld prefference

[@garrettlybbert1061]

[@suvetum6763]

The way it works when consecrating worlds and what it depends on to give you better bonuses (This isnt 100% sure; It is from my memory): 1st Planet Habitability (ex. If your species prefers ocean worlds then ocean world will give bigger bonus, but if you select not as their prefered it will give less) 2nd Type of a World: Nuked planets (Very small bonus, I think its like 1% or 0.5%) Relic worlds (Never tried them) Gaia world(4% bonus or 5% each) Desert,Water and Frozen worlds (Depends on your species prefered planet type) Notice: Also if your world is consecrated keep in mind that if it gets destroyed by Gray tempest or infected by end game crisis (Scourge), it will give you a penalty but I think the penalty is broken as the system it self bc after con. world has been selected and destroyed you cant remove it until you terraform or take it back.

i would have gone with that they never settle planets and only use habitats to preserve the planets (or at least as few planets as possible)

[@rctoelle]

STELLARIS IS BACK!

[@Abadayos]

Relic world thoughts: In theme what you could do is colonize it and the lore behind it is to study what excessive use of technology would have on a biosphere (the tech and science you get from using said world). I'm not too sure as I've not played for a while, but if possible make it a priority to terraform the world into a desert world or which ever your races home world is. You see the damage done and want to learn and then restore the damage as fast as possible as the planets spirit is crying out and 'Stone Mother' hears it and wants to help. Something to consider

[@davidthomas2870]

I would think you could terraform worlds to heal them. Like that relic world, restore it to some kind of more natural state! Surely you should move to protect a wounded world from further desecration!

[@darknight5837]

In terms of Consecrated Worlds, it's pretty much Tomb World -> Regular World -> Gaia World

[@Slimebolt03]

I have an idea for how you can use terraforming whilst remaining within the set theme of your empire. You could use terraforming only when you want to repair a broken or “desecrated” planet after “liberating” it from those who tainted it holiness and beauty.

[@lordbread8102]

I see divine and empire. Slaughter the heretics yes yes

[@dimitardimitrov9437]

Colonise the Relic world! But, and this is important, keep only a temple on it. Nothing more. It is a sacred place, a place which shows why worlds are gods and this is but a broken god, which requires the faith of the pilgrims to be healed. In turn, the pilgrims are taught of why the galaxy is a place of horror and evil, which needs the chosen ones of the divine to guide it and ensure a future!

[@ashliwoodgate7011]

I think terraforming would be fine, if it's helping your gods to become better suited to all sapient life surely that's helpful for them as they would be able to get a wider range of followers

[@JabberwockOclock]

If I had to hazard a guess as to how Consecrated Worlds determines the value of a planet, I'd presume it has to do with how much of a sacrifice it would be for your main species to not colonize it. Under this thought process, the value should be increased by their size and habitability. Thus gaia worlds will have the highest rate, followed by things which match your homeworld, then climates related to your homeworld, then incompatible planets, with tomb worlds at the bottom if they're even candidates.

When you consecrate a world, it gets a status that's random, with the exact chances for each status depending on planet type. IIRC Holy Worlds can only come from the nine regular starting planets (desert, continental, arctic, savanna, ect.) and gaia worlds, with gaias having a higher chance of becoming holy. If you had a bad roll, you can remove the consecrated status and reapply it for another roll, though both applying and removing consecration cost influence. If you got the inf to spare, you can keep re-rolling as many times as you like to get it to holy... unless of course it's something like a Tomb World that can't become holy.
