Having made a synth run, i doubt that robots are as good in this new patch. They have a slow growth rate and growth rate is king in this newest patch. I guess the 5% for everything that you can do as a robot compensates for some of that, but that slow growth speed :( .
@FonVegen5 жыл бұрын
You can actually make the growth rate somewhat work. Resettle four (after the one Expansion tradition three) POPs from your home system and build an assembly plant. That will make your colonies grow faster than other early settlements, even if later organic colonies grow quite a bit slower. Playing a machine empire is essentially POP Tetris. Look out for how many drones are needed where and transfer them around.

You forgot to talk about the Drone Campaign edict. In 2.2.2 that's another +10% growth for only 500 food. However, one big issue with Hive Minds I wish you had touched on is that, while they don't need consumer goods, they are actually much less efficient at turning minerals into things like research. Normal empires produce 12 research with 8 consumer goods (8 minerals), hive minds produce 12 research at the cost of 18 minerals. That's a big difference, even if they don't need civilian industries.

Ok so I got here from a stopped point (you know, leave video - come back at where you stopped) and this dude was saying happiness, but the point in the video cut it to ''-ppiness'' and it sounded like penis. You can imagine how hard my immature humor made me laugh at that lol

So if I want to roleplay as Annihlus and lay waste to the galaxy at the head of my Annihilation Wave, would this civic be the one for me?

Oh god, everything's wrong :D I get that you were explaining things, but if you explain so much that everything goes wrong, I dont know that's helpful. 0) edit: Oh and definitely dont waste your first science ship exploring your own cluster's backend systems. Bee line for chokepoint survey and 3rd or 4th science ship can do the homecluster. 1) Build the home base mining, then synaptic node, then 2-3 districts. (Yes 3 districts, that comes up on points 2) 2) Take out your maintenance drones off the amenities they do absolutely nothing. You dont need 20+ amenities in the beginning and could get massive boost to economy. This can effectively double or triple your food if there's 4 pops basically wrongly assigned cause the game AI is dumb. 3) And dont sit on 1k minerals while your home system hasn't bothered doing the energy or research, alloys are what matters now, you can and should use all minerals constantly for something. 4) And DEFINETLY dont waste precious alloys on a 2nd construction ship when you're struggling to find enough work for the first one. 5) Go up to 4-5 science ships and indeed using exploring to find your neighbours and chokepoints fast, you'll need the space for going super wide. 6) Only make a second construction ship once you're surveying in different arms/clusters/directions and need to keep building. Love the content, but just everything went wrong here so had to say something :D Good tips were the expansion-domi trees, they're superior now. And the idea of using 1-2 science ships purely to explore, I'd just go even further and using them to fully scout out neighbours.

WeirdViking what about ascension and traditions? What would be your starting point perks?
@WeirdViking5 жыл бұрын
@@Blitzbogen He got that on point. Expansion always, it has reduction in starbase influence and 10% population which are incredible. Then into domi that has +1 influence and drone output. Ascension perks are also super simple you'll always go same 4 and then whatever u need. 1) the -20% claim and starbase 2) biological ascension 3) Hive worlds 4) biological ascension II. That's usually when you finish filling up any systems you havent claimed yet, and can start turning your worlds into hives while shifting focus to war and now u can assimilate anyone you conquer.

This a general tutorial for beginners, not a tutorial on how to min/max. Not everything is about min/maxing and not everyone likes to play that way. So no, he wasn't wrong, and your way isn't the only way, you arrogant wanker.
