@@Dan19870 if you pick the "calamitous birth" origin as the lithoids your species literally reproduce by all coming out of giant rocks and instead of building colony ships you can just make a new giant rock and YEET it as an asteroid to colonize the planet it collides with. Hence why they said the rock was "their mother", it literally is a living hive queen made of rock with no propulsion or way to change course, flung accross the galaxy to smash into some planet for colonization. It. Is. Awesome.

When you always try to go on a passive run but the AI forces your hand into becoming a galactic super power.

[@Ninjat126]

My first real run in Stellaris had me playing as Pacifist Fanatic Egalitarians. I started a Federation, allowed everyone to live in utopian abundance, liberated a few worlds from slavers in defensive wars, etc. Then the rest of the Federation I built suddenly became big fans of slavery, and I had to leave the Federation and saturation bomb all their homeworlds into submission to make them stop it. In my ongoing playthrough, I'm running a MegaCorp that's totally going to bring peace and prosperity to the galaxy, by bribing every other empire into gradually signing away their legal rights and amassing political power until they can declare themselves sole rulers of the galaxy. Then they'll use their limitless power to... abolish slavery, bring an end to war, and ensure a new era of galactic prosperity.
