Stellaris Cybernetic Creed Origin Explained

[@ДаниилЗингер-у3к]

Strange. On the wiki, there's a mention of the United Creeds edict, which gives a flat +10% on cyborg jobs. Is this a mistake?

[@MontuPlays]

Huh, yeah the tooltip is wrong! It DOES give you an edict with +10% resources, +10% happiness and +5 stability! That's very annoying

[@CrimsonReaper189]

A build idea I am working on with these is going dimensional worship since that will allow u to get both physics and engineering research from priests which when combined gives a gd amount of tech and unity allowing u to make a tech ECU using priests. It's definitely not the strongest but it's a interesting idea to play with I feel given how at level 10 leader level a priest will only have slightly less tech output then a scientist but unlike tech priest output has many buffs available

[@cosmologicalpillow]

that sound like it can get out of hand really fast as a unity and tech rush is not that easy normally if you want decent output for both but this solves that problem largely, shame that society is going be far worse but that not that problematic

With this much creativity and interest in machines I really hope the start developing something for organic Hivemind.

[@lionzod6943]

Montu clearly doesn’t need sleep,food,water…has he ascended?

Great guide video. The only thing I think wasn't mentioned is that megacorps get a tithe option of +10% trade value in addition to the standard options.

[@kenpachiramasama1139]

Man everyone reference the mechanicus but ironically the mechanicus ascension path would be synthetic ascension as that is the organization end goal.

They'd like to, but that would be technoheresy because Men of Iron rebellion - so having an AI based on non-organic computation device is a big no-no.

[@justinthompson6364]

this is my new favorite origin, as a trade corporation, double trade and research mods on your pops is crazy.

[@cuspiscentium]

had a very weird game with this origin, foolishly took deviant on my pops and when the factions merged a materialist faction popped in with over 2/3s of my total population. I had a unity planet that couldn't work because only spiritualists can work temples. the debuffs to happiness and stability wrecked my economy, a gaia world revolted... it was fun

[@canthaveshitinohio]

Great video! Thanks for your hard work.

[@MontuPlays]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@grumpydinosaur2347]

I think, united creeds is best choice and you play this origin with megacorp. United creeds give you good edict and you can modify spefies as you want. While others lock you in predefined traits. Maybe science choice can rival that but im kinda doubt full. Creed Megacorp gov type on other hand, removes 50% penalty for sprawl from planets, giving megacorp effefts. I have feeling that since they nerfed pop growth for cybernetics, its more important to get more planets early for that pop growth speed. Guardian civic also seems not as strong with this one, because its harder to grow pops

[@LoicJ29]

I'm having trouble with this origin : a problem has arised where when all of the pops on a planet have the ritualistic implants trait, pop growth stops, I believe this is due to the fact that pops with this trait can't technically grow because it's a trait that's given to the pop once it has joined the spiritualist faction. Only way to counter this that I have found is to reduce spiritualist attraction (which is counterproductive, especially since I'm playing a megachurch) and to resettle pops that don't have the trait from one planet to another (which is a pain in the a** to do). Did anyone have the same problem and did you find any better solution to it?

I know this has been out for a while,but if you have the masterful crafters civic,you can take the tithe of crafting no matter which creed you decide to go with
