[@Teyloune]

The upkeep of the arc furnace does seem rather high. I hope there will be some sort of preview that lets a player know what the output of a fully built-up arc furnace would be, to determine if the construction in a system is profitable or not. I prefer to focus on playing the game without having to slow down a multiplayer match to calculate every system's worth. I really don't want to get yelled at by other players for that.

[@Tneconni]

It does seem high, but it is entirely popless alloy production, without any tax/influence from market fees and price fluxing, I think it'l be fine, but not the best option

[@Lethal_Virus]

i do get where you are coming from. Calculating a systems potential should be as simple as 'lots of planets = good' and its not like you restricted to only 1 arc furnace so if you find a better system you can just build another one so you shouldn't have to worry to much about its placement. as for the upkeep yeah its high but the potential is even higher. The largest natural systems have 15 bodies however i use 10 bodies for the calculations as 10 body systems are far more common. If each planet produces 4 minerals and 2 alloys you would get 80 minerals and 40 alloys just base production (this is including the 100% bonus from the arc furnace). Dont forget about tech, engineering tech can give up to an additional 80% minerals from mining stations so that would boost the yield to: 144 minerals and 40 alloy. However if you are really lucky and get cybrex you can get an additional 100% bonus to all stations: 288 minerals and 80 alloy. Even without the cybrex mining hub it still produces a large amount of resource in a system which only has 10 celestial bodies.

[@dkall8101]

I imagine that its intended you'd pay the income at least in part with a dyson swarm. Depending on how these kilostructures building permissions are set up, it might be possible to build both in the same system, which would allow the arc furnace to boost the dyson swarm for a minimal energy output of at least 180

besides machine age im most excited for that archive at the end, being able to reproduce space fauna gonna have some amazing synergies. im assuming amoeba and tyanki are going to cost food to make so agricultural based societies gonna have fun, i imagine the origin that has you colonize through tyankis is going to contribute, you can make bubbles a family, probably gonna be able to resurrect some of your killed ones if you into zombies

[@GaireDuine]

Cybernetic creed, honestly, just seems absolutely insane for a origin. It has many many civics, AP's, and bonuses just built in for free. I feel like it will 100% be a meta build in some way. Free civic parliamentary systems Free Ascension perk Cybernetic ascension Free bonus trait to all species for extra production, research and unity better research lab (worth 3 researchers w/ amenities and unity) that is upgradeable and a free, scaling, building that gives .25 to base resources, not even a multiplier, to start. As well as a quest chain with rewards? It's just insanely stacked.

[@cncmne7404]

Thats the power of the Omnissiah for you.

[@johnquach8821]

I'm going to try out the virtual ascension one first (synthetic fertility). I think that one is the coolest origin of those three.

[@user-iq5fw6fr3r]

Aren't virtual, nanite and modular are machine only? I really hope they aren't, but the way they are presented seems to heavily imply that

[@TheNarrator6020]

The specialized paths are unfortunately only for empires that start as machines.

[@2MeterLP]

@@user-iq5fw6fr3r Considering there is an entire origin about doing virtual as a bio empire, I am pretty sure they are available to bio empires as synthetic ascension paths.

[@Aimerxd]

​@@TheNarrator6020So if I return machines to my organic city, not even by promoting machines would I be able to access that

[@TheNarrator6020]

An update to what I said based on ep3o's recent video you can at the least get the virtual trait as an empire that starts organic with one of the advances gov choices. Possibly something similar for the nanite or modularity traits. You do not however gain access to the tradition tree. Just the trait on your species.

I'm actually an Overtunend Biological player and have recently discovered Psyionics, but I guess I'll be trying out Cybernetic or Synthetic from 7 May onwards. I'm really looking forward to playing Tall with Virtual and Sovereign Guardianship

Fascinating origins indeed. My excitement for the DLC grows with each passing day

[@varenikbeneki]

Music at 3:20 I can't wait to hear full version, this is something else! I wonder, who composed it. And there, after trying to figure out what civilization i will play first after release, i suddenly want to roleplay as mining machines just because of this track and it's mood. I remember my first MP game together with my friend back in 2018-ish. War was declared on us by stronger enemy, and while my friend's technologically advanced civilization struggled through every battle, it was my cheap machine-mined space buckets in bulk to save the day, once they finally came with their tier 1 engines. We laughed at the sight of them littering the battefield with their husks and somehow making the enemy retreat, proceeding to officially name it "operation space-trash". Good times. It's time to relive those times.

I'm looking forward to this DLC! I believe it has the potential to be the most valuable DLC ever released for Stellaris ✨

[@Vitalabyss]

I'm excited. Thanks for the hard work. Would love to see some effort put into the original species in the future. (I know you guys plan WAY ahead so this might already be on the radar) Something like Origins or Civics or what have you specifically for Avians, Reptilians, Mammalians, etc. Several of the new species types have specific stuff but none of the original species seem to. Something like a High Flying Civic for Avians that makes Gas Giants habitable. Or a Cold Blooded Trait for Reptilians (I imagine this as a +10% to Hot Habitability and -10% to Cold). Or w/e it's just my 2 cents. P.S. Mentioning the Gas Giants made me wonder if we'll ever get a Gaseous Species....

[@Travkirby2]

I wonder how the ritualistic implants would change as you become more attuned to on of the spiritualistic factions or embrace all of them equally (if the bonuses are decent or broken when you finish the origin’s story). I also wonder how much of a story this origin would have along with synthetic fertility. Also, I did see that cybernetic creed does not allow for egalitarian ethic, but it could be a very good ethic for this origin since you get factions pretty early even without the parliamentary civic.

[@TheAgamidaex]

Arc Furnace is something I've wanted to see for a while. It would be nice to have some kind of structure to your empire, with central hubs specialized on certain resources and benefiting from proximity, etc. Like, think Energy Grid, but for whole systems/sectors. I hope to see them go in that direction for regular empires.

[@LAZERAK47V2]

I hope the different factions in Cybernetic Creed are a hint of an Internal Politics rework in the making.

[@AuthorOfNewborne]

I still don't really agree with the limit we get for the Kilo structures. But hopefully I'll be wrong when we try it out

[@2MeterLP]

They seem to be meant to boost tall empires by making the few systems they have worth lots. Letting wide empires spam 100 arc furnaces and dyson swarms defeats that purpose.

[@mishmashmarsh9499]

"Incredible quantities of recourse" The system is outputting 20 energy, but it costs 100 to run. So your trading 100 energy, for 96 minerals and 46 alloys a month. With a cost of 4500 alloys and 6000 unity to upgrade to max, that's going to be the biggest waste of time to build in the game. Needs a major buff before release. Have it produce large amounts of alloys and minerals, rather than having every planet in the system produce tiny amounts of them. How does that even make sense? Why would building a massive structure around a molten world, have other planets making minerals?

[@2MeterLP]

The kilostructures are both made really bad by their insane upkeep. Dyson Swarm eats so many alloys that even if you build it on a 5 or 6 base energy star it is arguably more effective to just sell those alloys. I can see two usecases for kilos: 1: Trading alloys for science with a dyson swarm on a science deposit star 2: Building a tier 1 arc furnace to create the perfect system for a mining habitat

[@user-ly4yo4em3g]

So only the old synthetic ascention will be available for synthetic fertility, but there is no way to follow the path of one of the new ones? Virtuality would look very appropriate here. Thank you for the video

[@republiccommando6104]

That's my question too! And probably other players who choose the synthetic ascension for their organic empire have the same question as well.

[@alpacalover0]

An ascension is already pretty life-changing for your species, so going all the way to virtual after not being used to being Synths would probably be too dramatic of a change after millennia of being biological and just becoming machines.

[@baseupp12]

​@@alpacalover0pretty sure a form of virtual ascension for biological empires has been confirmed because of an origin being based on it

The last origin doesnt sound that hot. You can get plenty of mineral resources. Having 100 minerals in a system at the cost of 4500 alloys with a 10 years build time sounds not that good espcially since you give it up for an other origin. Just make it a baseline megastructure available to only synthetic and cybernatic empires.

It's already going to be available without the origin, the origin just exists like the other Megastructures one to give you the ability to test it out early.
