The fact that you gain the ability to terraform planets into tomb worlds after turning a world into one with the situation (at least if you complete it via Embrace Change) makes things a lot easier. I was worried you'd need a situation with every planet to industrialize it into a tomb world.

This build could be quite fun in Multiplayer, since you will only have tomb worlds, and thus conquering you would get you nothing, making wars quite unlikely

[@JabberwockOclock]

I don't think that logic works. The valuable thing with conquest is pops, the infrastructure is secondary. So long as they aren't forced to purge your pops or use them as livestock then people in MP are going to conquer your stuff.

[@alexandererhard2516]

Can't other empires just simply terraform back?

@@anobuthix5977 is that even possible without genetic or synthethic ascension? I'm pretty sure radiotrophic is a positive trait.

[@lordfickle8900]

The toxoids ship set has to be my favorite out of all of them so far.

[@ulruc]

This seems interesting. Using your Megacorp civic guide, I started a Crisis x25 game in which things goes a bit too well. I mean, the first two empires I met proposed to me to become Scholarium when they saw my fleet that was 3 times their own. So I turned on the 3rd empire and turned him as well into Scholarium. Right now, I am at around 2450, I have 12 scholariums boosting me science, I have a dyson sphere, a matter decompressor and a mega shipward since 2380. I then added a science nexus and a strategic coordinator center. I even ate a Fallen Empire (assimilating them since I have done my Synth ascension) a bit before 2400. Since I started with the Ring World origin, I now have the 3 pieces full + 8 planets running industrials districts (the vassal cover all energy, mineral and food needs + the mega structures). It is a matter of time before I turn myself toward the nearest 2 megacorps and their vassals to eat them up. I expect the crisis to show up soon (I delayed their arrival a bit though since I selected x25). We will see how bad it will be :)

[@Notlordstark]

I really think machines should get a version of relentless industrialist too. If silly organics that need air to breathe can use industry to turn a planet into a tomb world, then machines absolutely should be able to too.

[@Sepaedius]

this build also works pretty well with lithoids and overtuned, adding the Radiotrophic trait. You can pick Spliced Adaptability and pre-planned growth to offset issues with them since it supercedes the traits lithoids get locked out of.

Still waiting on being able to just bombard an uninhabited colonizable, or do a decision, to make it a Tomb World as Post-Apocalyptic or Fanatic Purifiers.

[@lordperson5762]

Check out Scm tomb world origin gives you the ability to nuke planets Its on the steam workshop for stellaris if your confused

[@pancakes4193]

Taking Franchising as the third civic seems like a very fun alternative to Naval Contractors because what's being done here in the Relentless Industrialist build is essentially a more bonkers version of the One Planet challenge using the Jeffs- it essentially boils down to stacking modifiers with the Ecumenpolis to get an absurd Alloy output. It is likely possible to lean into a more "peaceful" version of the build and synergize diplomacy with trade as a Megacorp- combined with the power to push an overwhelming fleet and essentially threaten neighbors into peaceful vassalage. Not sure whether you can exactly do a One Planet challenge with this, but the core tenets of that build are here.

I play on normal difficulty with 0,75 tech cost in 3.8

Only the other week I did a tomb world build, great start, got a bit lucky on planets near me, but unfortunately without this DLC tomb worlds just fall off hard later game, plus cos you can't find a variety of effective ways to get them RPing is lessened. But I'll definitely be adding this into that build & having another playthrough when it eventually release for me probably middle of next year.

I think it'd make more sense to take something else at the start over Relentless Industrialists, since you don't want to actually be using the building for a while anyway. You can add Relentless Ind after year 20 or later when you can afford to stifle growth on a planet.

Gives me an idea for a megacorp with the origin that gives you habitats. It's not optimal, but I like the role play. Once you research robots, droids, and sythns you can pop off, but in essence your primary race lives in habitats, but establishes mining industrial colonies on planets using robots (and prisoners with jobs, maybe) and exploits planets to high hell.

[@AizaakThurston]

Interesting Synergy but I never pick origins like prosperous unification or post apoc that don't add some "jazz" to my game. I'm a sucker for origins like On the Shoulders of Giants, Here be Dragons, Scion of the Void and especially Imperial Fiefdom. I feel like these older Origins could really use an event chain to make them feel like more than an extra trait. Really looking forward to the overengineered trait even though.

[@Illianor123]

An excavtion site on post-apoc worlds could be interesting, collecting stores and possibly pops from fallout shelters etc, or just events that do that. Prosperous unification could have something about planetary celebrations or other 'proud, excited or happy' population events. Get some resources back from building your first colony ship (private investers).

This "meta" build could be optimized further, you could start the game instead of with the civic relentless industrialists, you could start with brand loyalty and with a different origin like prosperous unification or clones. Then come year 20 or so you could reform your government to gain the civic relentless industrialists for the bonus to alloy production going for a year 30 rush. Also, if you went clones at this point you may choose to descend or not while then going for the cybernetic --> synthetic ascension so that as your planets become tomb worlds it no longer matters as you have synthetically ascended.
