｢Stellaris｣ Megastructure Rush Build

all right let's see here so we should be able to go live now and so let's get started already greetings everyone i'm stefan and today we're going to be doing a little bit of tech rushing well not tech rushing specifically we're going to be rushing mega engineering and we're going to be building a dyson sphere around your 66 now to be clear it's going to be the start of a dyson sphere the dyson sphere site we'll be able to upgrade that later into a full dysosphere uh but for the purposes of this video the dyson site is going to be finished around your 66 i've done two trial runs of this build before one of them ended up in a year 62 dyson sphere site and another one ended up in new year 70 dysonsphere site which is why i'm approximating year 66 for this run uh we're gonna get into the build we're gonna get into the theater crafting and then we'll go and jump into the gameplay stay tuned because this one has some tricks that we're gonna pull to make sure that we can actually tech rush uh for mag engineering about 50 years into the game alrighty so this is the build megastructures go br you might have expected this but this is a driven assimilator ring world build we're going to be running uh some efficient traits on our robots uh emotion emulators efficient processors mass-produced and we're going to be running intelligent natural gas rapid breeders on our cybernetic pops uh this is to maximize growth and this is also to make sure that our cybernetic pops are working the science jobs and our robots are working every other job including alloy jobs the difficulty with this build is that it's not a pure tech rush uh if we did just a pure tech fresh if we just sat in one system and tech rushed we'd get a dice's fear site in a year like 80. we're gonna have to do a military rush and some other empires and we're also gonna have to uh preemptively start building up alloy so we can get stuff done as soon as possible this is the difficult part of the build you have to balance out so many different factors uh to make sure that this works properly uh but anyways yeah the origin is shattered ring i've heard that it's gonna get nerfed in the future which is unfortunate uh but for the purposes of now this build is probably one of the best ones out there uh of course driven assimilator uh the two bonuses of driven assimilator that we're to be using today are that we have two species to specialize which allows us to get efficiency right off the bat and we are also going to be using the fact that we can quickly assimilate other empires to our advantage the goal for today is going to be three empires assimilated within the first 40 years of the game so that's going to be quite difficult and uh a little sweaty to achieve but we're going to be doing plenty of pausing and making sure that we do all the micro as properly as possible also of course rap replicator is gonna let us um grow a bit more population because pops are power and the more pops we have the more tech we have and the more alloy output we're going to have as well all right so that's the build itself now let's get to how we're going to be using it specifically let me pull up a tech tree all right so as you can see here we have uh the engineering tech tree for 3.0 actually this is that 2.8.1 tech tree but nothing has changed since then so this is as accurate as it gets uh we want a gun for the mega engineering technology which is like oh my god my camera doesn't go that far like over there yeah over there by ring world that's mega jeering for you we have three prerequisites for bag engineering first of all we need zero point power which is a physics tech it's actually a pretty easy one to get it's a tier four so we should be able to get it pretty easily there's no modifiers for you know getting it too early so that's gonna be just fine the difficult part is battleships and citadels battleships have a 0.1 x multiplier for appearing before year 50. citadels have an extremely low weight and they're not going to start you know how about having a high chance of appearing until you're 90 which means that we're gonna have to do some shenanigans to make sure those actually appear uh 40 or 50 years in so what we're going to be doing is two things first of all we're going to be avoiding certain tech branches we're going to be avoiding missiles and we're going to be avoiding mass drivers all of our weapons are going to be energy weapons and by avoiding the missiles and coil guns we're going to be able to avoid getting any of the text from that section of the tech tree meaning that the other texts have a higher likelihood of appearing we're also going to be increasing the weights of the techs uh for citadels we're going to need to build three star fortresses in order to uh give them a what is it a 2x or a 3x multiplier for appearing it's a very significant multiplier so we're going to have to go for that uh we're also going to be going for supremacy to make sure the weight is 25 higher for citadels and we're also going to be going for a voidcraft scientist to make sure that the weight is another 25 higher uh this should bring up the tech cost to well attack weight to a reasonable level so that we can actually get this to appear it's by no means guaranteed but hopefully we're going to be able to get this done to help out with that we're also going to be running stuff like static research analysis and we're also going to be getting the discovery tree for two extra research alternatives uh because the weights for these techs are so low i have to go through these measures in order to get mega engineering reliably and even then like if you get screwed on our tech rolls this might be a year uh dyson sphere site but otherwise what we're going to have to do once we get all those techs is make sure we're in tier 5 of the engineering technology so we can actually get mag engineering mega engineering we should be able to get it within like the first two or three of rolls of uh getting all the three requirements because the thing is mega engineering has a 20 times a multiplier for appearing if you have a mega structure in your systems of roon magnet structure specifically and since we're gonna be playing on shattered ring we already have a mega structure in our territory which increases the multiplier 20 fold in addition we can also build six star holds in our territories to increase the weight by uh 1.5 x for each star hold so all those multipliers should drive the weight of mag engineering very high and hopefully we're going to end up getting it early enough but yeah so that is the tech tree part of things and now let's get into the game and let's get started so we're going to be playing on default settings just to standardize things and we're also going to be playing on grand admiral because cadet is way too freaking easy so let's get started with these settings as you can see we can turn on uh iron man mode but i'm not going to because i don't like to have achievements in this game i'm what is it 2.6 k hours in i have zero achievements and i would like for it to stay that way all right so let's see here we have a spawn in a cluster it doesn't really matter what we spawn because we are going to be invading people our scientists are quite good but most importantly damn we have bulldoze i was gonna say we gotta get a bulldozer later to help us out with early build up but uh i'll like we can make a selection of three holy i mean if there was a voidcraft leader here this would be basically the best uh leader setup uh but anyways we're gonna have to do a few steps first and foremost so first things first we're gonna have to go for research in our technology because we're going to be producing a lot of research from our population in fact we should be able to get our first ring section built about two or three years in so first things first to be able to achieve that we're going to have to get some resources so what we're going to do is strip our ships and set them to upgrade uh we're also going to set up a couple monthly trade deals for buying moats and selling food the thing with moats is that uh using 32 moats we can achieve volatile land clearance edict so we're going to immediately buy up 30 modes and then buy the extra two modes with a monthly trade deal so that we don't have to buy 40 and then spend 32. our construction ship is going to be actually building something for once because we don't need minerals for the first little bit we're going to be clearing with energy but otherwise isolationist stance of course uh and i think that's going to do it now let's recruit our bulldozer leader and hire him all right so as we get started these ships are going to start getting upgraded and we're going to start selling alloys we're going to sell one batch per day and this is going to increase the efficiency of selling as you can see the price resets after a single day and so we're able to sell all our alloys at the maximum price now we buy three chunks of moats and with the monthly trade deal we're going to have exactly 32 or our edict we're going to disband these ships and we're going to i guess wait a month yeah at this point things are good to go if you guys have any questions uh i will answer them in a bit uh right now we got to be focused on doing stuff as optimally as possible specifically we just take over a month so we go into volatile land clearance we cancel this trade deal we set up another trade deal to buy 52 minerals and we go ahead and clear our first blocker the carpet tunnels this is going to give us 500 minerals and also well actually i think it's 400 and 100 gas this is gonna allow us to upgrade a research segment very quickly once that is done we're going to go for at least three science ships to go and explore nearby space because the more planets we have the more growth we have and the more growth we have the more scientists we're going to have on our home planet [Music] uh but yeah the fact that we don't have any planets in your space kind of sucks but i'm sure we'll find them also slight bit of efficiency uh we don't need service imbeciles we can just disband them for one extra energy per month [Music] uh what we also forgot to do we got to disable the uplink node we're not over admin cap and we don't want to spend pops on admit cap if we can afford it but yeah crazy mmx this is what you have to do to you get mega engineering uh this early uh but yeah someone's saying someone got a 6k tech in year 57 that is pretty crazy uh the this build is going to be going for about 3k by that year but that's also because we have to crank up our alloy production to at least like 300 or 400 per month to be able to actually afford the megastructures anomalous surface variable remember we have to restore our ring world first before we can even take the ascension perk for uh the dyson sphere to show up in our tech tree in galactic wonders and for that we need to uh restore a mega structure and restoring a ring section does count for that oh we got gas in this system that's actually excellent uh one of the problems we're gonna have is gas because remember a ring world will upkeep the first district of each type but we're gonna have a lot of research segments so we're gonna need to get a lot of gas production also is the music too loud for anyone um i want to turn it down a little bit or at least adjust settings because it's way too loud on my end all right that's better all right so we cleared our first thingy now let's actually clear the technician jobs as well and then after that we'll cue up the first segment anomalous surface actually might have been slightly more efficient to clear this uh blocker first uh before going for the uh minerals and gas clearing yeah our hunter seeker is still employed you know why because there is no other job for him to go to uh it's better for a pop to be a hunter seeker than it is for them to be [Music] unemployed all right i think we can cancel this trade deal we're going to set the maximum buy priced one and uh because the maximum buy price is one it's not gonna get bought mm-hmm all right let's see uh actually getting cyborg scientists is better than getting normal scientists cyborgs get up five percent uh to research speed and because they're cyborgs and because this front is only going to take 60 or so years they're not going to die so their biggest disadvantage is kind of negated now let's see i do want an intellectual governor but that is not an immediate priority we can wait for that to happen i'll skew up our research segment and looks like we have an archaeological site deja vu dig that's decent uh by the way this is not a modern playthrough the only mods we're using uh are there's two mods that we're using there's one ui mod that allows us to see our strategic resources because it's very important to manage those in this build and another one that is my own mod uh which shows the tier of the text in their icons i have a link to that in the description and both of these mods are non-checks i'm changing we're going to greet xenos with open arms because we do want to be uh nice to others to make sure they don't uh cause us problems later down the line let's see are our jobs allocated properly no they're not all right that's better i chad silken why don't i fire the governor i'm not using that's because there's still a lot of blockers to go and we're going to be using the excavator governor for the next like 10 years of the game because what we need to balance out is building new segments for more jobs and we're also going to have to balance out uh the resource wow getting resources from these blockers like here we can get uh 400 minerals and 100 of a strategic resource which is quite amazing survey complete and uh with these blockers we can increase housing to hopefully increase the boost from for population growth on our organics funnily enough uh just a little tidbit uh the extra growth like the exponential curve growth for uh organic pops does take into account robot pops so even if we have a singular organic pop on a planet with 40 robots that one organic is going to grow a bit faster because uh sexy toasters i guess now unfortunately we're not getting any planets in our nearby space this is very concerning uh i typically like to get two planets at least to make rushing down the first empire a bit easier because we're gonna want to rush down another empire about uh 20 years in all right every segment is going to get built and our economy is going to absolutely cry now let's see though oh we can get another sparkler genius all right i'll go for that three sparkly genius guys system survey complete our research segment is complete uh let's make sure our jobs are managed properly so i'm going to unplug some fabricators i'm going to unemploy some armored drones and this should get us an economy that's actually i'm going to stable this deal and now we're going to go and keep clearing blockers i like to clear the crystal blocker early on so that we can get the crystal sensors edict crystal sun series is going to give us two more uh view range on our science ships and is going to let us let them uh find stuff easier specifically find uh artisans curators and crystalline entities easier because that is what we need construction complete all right this is a bit more scientists that i usually go for but this is going to be fine uh the thing with scientists is if you do a lot of surveying and you get a lot of anomalies uh you're going to be able to i get a lot of tech like store tech from random events yeah let's see can we get oh we can get intellectual oh yeah all right now we're doing very good uh we have all the leaders that we need and now we're not gonna really need energy credits in fact we're going to go for a deficit economy in a bit we're going to take our energy credit production in exchange for massively increased research output uh for that we're going to do a little trick we're going to employ the architectural interest dude for a discount i'm going to build the research segment and then we're going to re-employ uh the scientists anomalous surface variable detected so that our segment is a bit cheaper uh actually i might not want to buy up minerals just yet i will want to save up some resources and get a bunch of gas because the problem that we're going to experience is we're going to go into a gas deficit and we're going to have to start figuring our way out of the deficit because that's a minus 25 to all jobs anomalous surface variable detected system survey complete yeah rng plays for uh for stefan again i mean we have two planets here this is as good of a star as we really could want uh the only problem might be if there's like i don't know pricky t uh that spawn all around us perky tea are a bit more difficult to deal with than normal empires so uh yeah since we do rely on killing other empires to get more pops technological getting uh interference would be a problem i might actually want assembly patterns like assembly patterns uh isn't the best of techs uh but it's good for tech rushing because it only leads to one more tech while the robot path leads to a lot of text and we're not actually going to be we don't really have the time to do any big engineering projects to modify our species technological acquisition successful let's see here i'm hoping for hydroponics bays in our society tree fleet [Music] technological yes we got hydroponics base uh so what we're gonna do is once we build our two colony ships and colonize these two planets we're going to spam hydroponic space in fact we'll do that immediately on our home system all right let's see we're almost at the point where we're going to go into deficit economy so we're going to sell off some excess resources let's see 14 days yeah let's just sell off all of our crystals let's sell off some minerals and buy up a bunch of gas yeah that looks good 90 gas is going to last us 45 months because the upkeep is 2 per month so for the next four years we'll be fine yep there we go we're in deficit i actually don't want to be in food deficit so let's go ahead and adjust that and yeah this should be fine so now we're going to be producing a whole bunch of stuff i did not mean to sell that and our tech is going to be off the charts like as you can see we're making over 450 tech in year three like um i i mentioned before how i thought necrophage was uh stronger than machine ring world well driven assimilatoring world is system survey i'd say above uh necrophage at least when you do the exploit of a negative economy yeah negative 105 ac and as you can see here we're suffering negative minerals from jobs we don't have minerals jobs and we're suffering uh ship army and shield uh reductions which we don't have ships we don't have shields we don't have armies so that's whatever and we also can't spawn people which kind of sucks but meh all right let's see here uh let's build our machine assembly plant and we're actually also going to want to go for a simulation site as well uh the simulation site is necessary because our unity output is abysmal right now so we're definitely going to want to crank that up as soon as possible anomalous surface variable detected by the way this uh build can be done without the energy deficit exploit uh it would just take another at least 10 years to get you from first mega structure all right first league i was actually afraid uh that we're going to get cyborgs in this front because cybrics is kind of like a category of its own if you get cybrics you can get the dice's fear sight like under 50 years in uh but this run does not rely on cybrics because cybrix is rng and getting cybrics would only kind of take away from the point of the build [Music] [Music] construction complete yeah this is fine this is like technological dogs sitting in a fire fine [Music] like we're not getting hurt by our uh deficit uh the only problem is going to come if uh another empire discovers this and we're still running the uh deficit because like if another empire sees us and is bordering us and knows we're a droid assimilator they're gonna attack us if they think they can win so this exploit is only really viable for a decade in the early game but that decade helps us get ahead of any opponents so that's why we're doing it technological acquisition successful let's see if you guys have questions in chat feel free to go ahead and ask them i hear we have a pretty difficult tech role option list i guess we can go for refineries because those will actually benefit us system survey complete uh nissan how are you gonna offset that gas uh we're going to occasionally sell off some resources in order to buy more gas uh let's see uh also we should be able to get the gas refinery in like eight years or so uh supreme degenerate gore we're building a dice from scratch complete so what we're gonna do is we're gonna restore our ring world we're gonna go and uh get our ascension perk get galactic wonders and get our dice sphere built uh now one difficulty with this run and something that could be worked on to optimize this build is i always tend to get like two essential perks i don't go enough for unity and in this one i'm not going to try to go for more unity because that could also take away from the tech but basically i usually get two such perks then i get ambitions uh so essential theory basically and i get the third essential perk and what i do is i go for the first perk being tech ascendancy second perk being galactic wonders and the third perk being master builders it's a little wonky but since galactic wonders can be chosen as any perk as long as you meet the requirements it works quite fine uh oh yeah also manufacturing focus we basically don't have raw resource production so go for manufacturing focus uh only boosts our numbers even higher uh and amano can this build work as a normal machine empire with rogue exhibitor yes it can is good for this specific build well this specific strat for the build because we do need to conquer other empires to get stuff done earlier a peaceful version of this build can get a dice here it's just going to take another decade or so on average if you get lucky with planets of course you could just be peaceful but technology uh i tend to not get absolutely tons of planets in my nearby space now let's see our jobs are looking a little wonky see chrome metal armor is something we actually want because it unlocks text like uh building slots and uh extra alloy output let's see hydroponics bays are going to come online soon uh which should fix our deficit for now we're going to quickly sell off a little chunk of resources and just buy some food just for now ideally i want to be uh feeding my people off of star bases ah nick how much happiness can be achieved if you wrote your primary political faction and you have one vision as first quarter acquisition successful i think the maximum bonus for a happy faction is like 15 so it's not too significant all right i was scared there uh it looks like these are the teriyaki and not another empire hopefully we get another empire like here or here like relatively far away but they don't expand to us in the first 20 years of the game also you will notice that we're still going for energy tax that's for the reason that this deficit economy is only going to last uh 10 years from now then we're going to have to switch over to normal eco because of course if you're in the middle of the war having minus 75 to ship fire rate is kind of devastating i don't think i'm forgetting anything although maybe we can make do with clearing some blockers now we got some minor artifacts uh that's actually gonna help us because we could use incorporate artifact relays and then later on we can use adverse engineer arcade technology to get more tech technological acquisition successful we're going to want to go for admin cap text because those can uh let us avoid employing any sort of uh admin cap jobs in the early game yeah supreme generate gore uh they changed the master builders technology or not master builders galactic wonders you could do it as the first perk like i don't know why they changed that but that's hella useful for this build because otherwise we had to do a lot more tech rushing all right let's see uh james brown thanks for 10 bucks dude really appreciate it and successful i guess we can go for strike craft because strike craft are going to help us with uh defending acquisition successful anomalous surface variable detected planetary settlement procedure initiated as you can see our first colony is going to economy we're getting 2.1 k engineering tech for that that's incredible uh they made it so that rewards for the uh for for the tech giveaways scale with your tech production so because we have a lot of tech production we're getting a lot of tech from basic stuff like colonization we also have a lot of uh anomalies we're actually going to hold off on researching the anomalies until we can get like uh 500 or 400 tech output anomalous surface variable detected [Music] and see we have a lot of minerals let's go build some uh communal housing well drone storage rather this way we can unemploy some more amenities jobs and have them work somewhere else actually speaking of working somewhere else i kind of want to play more fabricators i don't know maybe not technological acquisition successful let's see let's keep going for mining output we're getting a lot of uh a lot of resources from just raw deposits so getting more and more is just fine all right now we're out of exotic gases uh but fortunately we thought ahead and cleared the moat blocker so we're gonna be able to sell those sell some excess minerals and then buy up a whole bunch of gas it's that simple construction complete [Music] this is why i kept the logical clearing dude around and this is why we are going to keep them around until like very late into the game a foreign entity we researched that tianki now we have a lot of influence we might as well pop capacity subsidies before i forget capacity subsidies isn't going to do anything for us right now but it's gonna do it do stuff for us in 10 years technological acquisition successful also yeah uh using the energy deficit we can't potentially bait other empires to attack us so we can destroy them at our star bases but i don't really want to do that i'd rather just build a big fleet and uh destroy them it's easier that way anomalous surface variable detected but at this point i'm gonna probably actually let this guy go and start just going into space we want to get crystalline entities because getting those early is going to give us a massive edge in terms of fleet power per alloy system survey complete technological acquisition successful gas extraction walls can't say no to that yeah james brown i really appreciate your tutorial videos they helped me get into the game much quicker made the game much more enjoyable thanks my pleasure dude it's awesome when i can help people with uh with tips and tricks technological acquisitions how to play a freaking video game yeah you will see that because we have the crystalline uh sensors our science ships are significantly more effective in surveying and uh just exploring systems which means that we're going to be able to find stuff like crystalline entities a lot easier unfortunately our systems seem to be pretty poor uh we're not getting a lot of uh resources from space but i guess that's fine [Music] i'm at winters so disheartening watching people play stars because ai is so bunked yeah ai is pretty bored like in the next few streams i'll probably either be playing star net or playing with uh with other people because currently ai just doesn't build tech like in year 100 they can still have like 400 tech per month total uh which makes them extremely weak even on grand admiral because i mean of course i'm grounded i i only play grand admiral because uh that's the only way ai can even be remotely considered a threat i mean we could put turn on advanced ai empires in the future but i i don't really like asymmetrical starts i like it when starts are on the same level and then i you can grow faster all right let's see here we got coarse compass which means caravan ears which doesn't actually do anything for us actually i take back the thing i said about semester girl starts of course driven assimilator ring world versus uh gateway start that's not symmetric at all let's see here we have excess alloys let's build some good old-fashioned starboards system survey complete planetary settlement procedure initiated it's a lot of planets we're not going to be able to expand to all these planets but that's good to know that there's so many all we need right now are some pops working i either fabricate or job their calculator jobs let's see starting ai plus grammar plus scaling work is working fine for me yeah i will be turning on uh starnet it because starnet is fun planetary surface yeah question when should i start worrying about admin cap actually uh with our power we should be worried about admin cap right now the only reason why i'm not worried about admin cap is because we're gonna fix that in a second with just technology we got our first colony up and going these colonies are going to look exactly the same we're going to have uh you know the capital building and we're going to have a machine assembly plant there's going to be a grand total of two pops on each planet and they're going to be producing a bunch of growth although this planet has a crystalline caverns and we're researching the tech for that so i might want to make this an exception and actually build an extra building slot on this one it we'll see technological acquisition successful and there we go our admin cap is fixed what do we want to go for next all these texts kind of suck uh let's just go for subterranean colonization uh eventually we are probably going to make these planets uh actually produce stuff because eventually a ring world will run out of space i speak of space has got that space gas should hopefully help us out with uh with our gas issue for the next little while hi by the way uh question to the the dudes playing star net uh how does it keep up in the late game last i remember starna did not fare well at all uh when it came to the late games like it would start very strong but it would then just drop off like a rock also really enough there's like no uh complete [Music] no freaking empires in the nearby space i mean i bet they're all like in the areas we haven't surveyed yet but this is kind of concerning we kind of do need to meet another empire soon construction complete all right this is going to be pretty much as much starbase development as we're going to do uh from now on we're going to be stockpiling alloys technological acquisition successful there we go bruh these aren't even xenos well they're xenos all right but they're now what is it artisans actually this is amazing uh but i'm highly surprised that there's still other empires in the nearby space this is like literally default settings so i guess we're just getting unlucky oh eat aliens crystallines all right so this is a perfect start except there's no other empire nearby uh we kind of desperately need another empire nearby so yeah yeah freaking crystalline that's gonna make it so that our first war is going to be easy technological acquisition successful someone's saying that uh the trees should match the length of engineering because like engineering tree is by far the biggest one the most complex one and the most useful to memorize the other trees are kind of lame in comparison technological acquisition successful i'm wondering when can we get those uh destroyers let's see can we hire a warcraft dude we cannot i would like a voicecraft scientist preferably a voidcraft cyborg but it's a lot to ask for come on game give me give me zeno i want to eat xeno system survey complete uh howler uh why do crystallines be an easy warp christine hull plating is equivalent to tier four armor in terms of hit points that it gives but it is extremely cheap so you can uh that you could basically have tier four armor in your first war for what five crystals on your ships or maybe maybe not five fifteen crystals across your fleet so that's like a bit of uh extra energy that you pay for your fleet to get crystals on and then you don't pay upkeep for the crystals even that's a lot of game gib [Music] alien archaeological say finished all right awesome we got we got this unit traumatized poor guy ah come on really you got to do this you got to do it to him what did we get space time theory ah that's not bad construction complete i mean i guess we didn't need the scientist anyways he's just going to go and uh serve a random space for aliens dual gog we're playing an 1x tech speed playing anything less would be a little unfair oh my lord that's actual xenos [Music] all right perfect that's fairly far away but well we can get there [Music] but so we have 800 900 alloys now we're going to need to step up our production a bit [Music] yeah having seven drones producing alice should help us a bit but i'm still a little worried planetary surface settlement established at perth we've got this planet colonized as well which means we can get robot assembly plants on there right oh my god and see they already have a tier 2 station here it doesn't really matter we're going to be going for plasmas on destroyers so uh resistance is going to be fairly futile for now since we did find the alien a foreign entity has decrypted our communications uh we can get this guy to just start serving space for anomalies a foreign entity has decrypted there we go crystalline study i mean if we have to kill them with uv lasers so be it but i'd rather have plasmas technological acquisition successful it could claw stefan give us more room world please uh yeah honestly i should i should get working on a new world series keep that going as a thing on the channel where the destroyers at let's see we could actually clear some blockers and get more uh fabricator jobs which i kind of want to do although we did have the uh edict expire so this is gonna be just a tiny bit more expensive yeah i'd like to have at least uh three and a half k alloys when we're going for our first conquest uh heavy's crow dog what are the red yellow uh boxes around research being uh these indicate tears uh red is tier one yellow is tier two green is tier three blue is tier four purple is tier five just like the rainbow i've had people like complaining to me that the color scheme doesn't make sense but it's literally the rainbow and i know many games use other different uh color schemes but like the games i played just used the rainbow so that's what i decided to go for it also is the most logical system survey complete special project complete there we go crystalline entities are unbreakable uh now our only issue is where the hell are the other empires [Music] like we need three we need to kill three empires to make this build work we only have one over here anomalous surface variable detected uh echo comet 3.5 k seems kind of low uh the thing is if you do a bit of uh hit-and-run tactics which for not really going to be able to do that well uh with them being this far away but if you get a better hit and run tactics and you just kill their star bases you'll be fine with plasmas uh 20 destroyers can kill ai in year 18 or so it's a little tight but it could definitely do it especially with the crystalline edict technological acquisition successful let's see i kinda wanna have more fabricator pops that should be fine or giving up some short-term research in exchange for longer term gains unfortunately we're not getting the stuff that we need energy nexus could be nice chemical plants could be nice but we're going to go for improved deflectors just to re-roll the tech pool system survey complete at this point i suppose we could also start researching some of these anomalies system survey complete uh captain danielson any big hitter against hull with some uh shield will kill the ai yes i mean we don't even need shield we can just go in with a pure hole just because pure hole is cheap and we're all about cost efficiency here anomalous surface variable detected let's see feasible it is is it to kill a fallen empire by gear 80 uh i mean with this build it's relatively feasible and i say that with a with a very long relatively because you're still gonna need a sweat a lot uh to get to that point but like if you're at the point where you start building mega structure then you're 66 you're almost at the point where you can start killing fallen empires not quite but as long as you have a proper ship design you should be able to danielson i've seen a couple fe kill builds using cloud cloud lightning surface variable yeah all right i think we should be more or less fine on alloy logical acquisition successful as long as we can actually get the freaking ships that we need we'll be fine let's see how does this engagement do in combat uh disengagement i've done a whole video on this engagement you should go watch it because it's great uh basically if you're inferior to an opponent or superior to an opponent you could get away with using disengagement and you're going to get significantly less losses if you're equivalent though you don't want to use disengagement system survey complete unless it's against star bases but even then it's it's kind of iffy this engagement is more of an underdog tactic system survey complete see echo systems oh i think i are you that dude who originally started posting about the dice's fear rush yeah you're 61. uh dyson i did a year 62 dyson i almost beat you not quite technological acquisition successful yeah i mean this is okay finally destroyer tech uh this is one of the many builds that can achieve this like okay this is probably the best build for the job uh but there there are builds such as for example void dwellers which believe it or not can also uh do this stuff like void dwellers can have 600 tech per month in year 10 or like even before that year 6 i've even seen because voidwallers have the advantage of extreme specialization well in our situation we don't really have that actually speaking of specialization soon enough we're going to specialize our ring world into uh specifically a research ring world we're gonna have to move our capital and we're going to need to employ a bit more pops on maintenance but that is going to be well worth it once we get some more population in our empire anomalous surface variable detected we're out of gas again unfortunately since we do have crystal uh production we can easily afford the crystal boost technological acquisition successful anomalous surface variable reverse engineer arcane technology i mean i guess we can go for that we we could do that once maybe we can get a fallen empire building who knows he's been successful um i mean maybe i maybe i shouldn't go first base time theory yet go for ftl inhibitors or honestly let's go for survey speed like uh we can afford to be inefficient with our tech rush in physics like normally with uh stuff like engineering i want to be going for the highest tier possible but with the physics we only need to get up to tier four to get the zero point power so i'm fine with being a little bit wasteful there all right we got our first aliens entity has decrypted our communications and their hive meant system survey complete god damn it uh we actually can't do anything with a high mind we cannot assimilate a hive mind believe it or not so uh we're gonna need to take our chances with the other communication uh alien or somewhere over here and uh we're gonna have to hope that they're either organic or robots because if not this run is gonna be kind of scuffed all right we have all our uh necessary necessary alloys basically yeah this is this is not good but did i just oh my god look at stefan being competent again and there we go got to make sure the plan to stay at colony status that we can get the stability and amenities sure let's establish embassy i i don't really give a about you now like we can't do anything with the hive mind empire well the necrophage would be able to but not with this build uh if we don't have any organic bars nearby we might have to just go peaceful which i'm not liking because we spent a lot of resources on building up alley production that we could have been using on deck instead situation log adjusted ah let's send the sign ship over here maybe there's a xeno near the galactic core technological acquisition successful yeah yeah that that resettle failed just set the the whole rush back uh a decade app gt guys we lost technological acquisitions we got destroyers we got destroyed build speed we got we don't have plasmas we do have cold fused reactors and i kind of want to go for that this is this is so sad this is so sad we might be off by uh by a factor of five years if we get past uh your 66 i'm gonna have to uh change the thumbnail this is this is tragic all right starbase cap plus two why not oh how long is that gonna take nine months let's actually just rebuild the star bases uh this is not going to be a year 18 uh ai empire rush this is more gonna be like a year 23 rush so we can afford to just upgrade some of our star bases and do wonky stuff like that back we can even expand a little bit anomalous surface variable detected system survey complete system survey complete i think this is going to give us happiness right happiness for our uh big robot brains let's build another research lab and then we're going to be done with the stuff all right these are organics that's good our economy though is looking kind of sad right now uh malcolm it's very well intended either we were negative energy credits because if you want something else oh wait one second just one second we got a voidcraft dude [Music] i forgot what i was saying yeah basically we need these guys to be organic so we can actually rush them down uh in fact let's start building up ships uh they're not going to be plasmas unfortunately but i'd rather have some ships than no ships at least we can queue them up all right so that's going to be 15 ships yeah we're going to need more we're gonna do a bit of ship queuing uh and then we should be able to get like five more ships worth of alloys soon enough this is fine kind of technological dead cat don't chase the thumbnail just add year 66 plus four yes make people do maths to figure out uh when we actually get the stuff all right i kind of want to go for the extra admin capacity not gonna lie yeah let's go for that also let's use our five gambling time okay that's not bad 5k uh engineering i could have saved those uh those thingies and i could have instead gone for oh wait th this is not how you queue ships but yeah we could have saved those and done the decision for incorporate artifact relays but we're not going to have any uh logical drones actually doing that in the next 10 years or so so it's fine instruction complete construction complete come on give me plasma game technological acquisition success uh that's not plasma that's chemical plants anomalous surface variable detected why are we in a mineral shortage [Music] i guess we're over producing alloys um all right system survey complete situation log adjusted come on game you know you want to give me uh plasmas and uh a nice tasty xeno right here complete they're probably isolatious that's why we're not getting to them dead cat year 69 would be perfect i was considering making the the date 69 but like the average is 66 from my experience yes these aren't hive minds all right seek and destroy where are they they're all the way over here and i bet they have like one planet now let's do some spying on them uh build a fleet and then we're gonna just go and uh go ham like obviously our spine network is not going to be doing anything right now uh but i will set it up for later complete also honestly i should get real i should get good at uh the different uh anomalies because you can get a lot of scientist traits from them i'm just not being efficient with it [Music] honestly i'm seriously considering uh going positive at energy right now you have the means to to do that let's do that plus i kind of want some minerals production special project complete technological acquisition successful all right i guess lasers go i mean what can i say plasmas are usually one of the easiest things to get but apparently this one says no system survey complete technological acquisition successful system survey complete oh the pop actually auto resettled that's nice of him usually artery settlement takes too long and it's more efficient to just uh manually do that ah now one second [Music] that should be enough destroyers take care of the problem without uh the problem is without plasmas they're not gonna do very well against uh a station victor's asking why negative energy well uh no more technological acquisition successful let's see if we can go for fleet supremacy honestly going for flu supremacy could be nice uh because what we could do is we could pop the edict get all the ships built and then they're going to have the 100 starting xp and the 10 extra damage and once these ships are pumped out we'll just go to war this is where the minerals come in anomalous surface variable detected cruisers okay i mean if we wait a little bit and just go hangar cruisers we could potentially just do that instead we have tier two strike craft right do we i guess we don't i guess we skipped over the tier 2 story craft all right never mind then uh if you had tier 2 strikecraft i'd wait patiently and get some carriers in my fleet but because we don't have the tier 2 spreadcraft uh i think just going with a pure destroyer stack is good enough surface variable detected also let's see if we can get a good admiral logistician and then i guess we'll go for a trickster afterwards bro it's gonna take years to even get to their territory it's gonna suck technological acquisition successfully they're right next to another empire and of course this is when we get the plasma throwers all right if we have reinforcements they're going to be plasmas but not going to help us out too much uh we also need to get some minerals and start building up more research segments soon enough because we're about to get more population like a lot more population rugs asking why we're making fleet there's this empire right here that i want to conquer [Music] i mean all things considered we could have easily made this into a peaceful run there's a lot of planets in the nearby space that are not uh taken by anyone also speaking of stuff that's getting taken let me take something real quick from the artisans let's go supremacy because we're probably only going to be able to finish one more tuition tree before we get the mega structures and go supremacy is going to help us with getting more uh goodies ah we should probably build a couple more armies and then we'll be fine situation log adjusted uh let's see epidermy what is uh the reason to go to conquer empires before they uh maxed out in an area uh we need pops for research and we want the pops as early as possible also i totally forgot fleet supremacy let's just pop that real quick actually we had we had no ships left okay let's let's go back and uh unpop fleet supremacy that was just a waste of 500 uh influence it seems we have 3.3 k worth of fleet power is going to take them two years to get there which means systems year 25 i'd say the conquest that's more or less fine we'll probably hire a general because we don't have a lot of fleet uh army power [Music] [Music] technological acquisition successful [Music] i'll pop folks in crystals when we get there too so that's going to bring up the fleet power to like 4k i'd say technological acquisition successful all right start hold very good to have uh if we had extra resources i'd go for exotic gas in this field but i don't think we could afford that right now special project complete system survey complete got some first league artifacts let's reverse energy arcade technology and get more engineering tech perfect almost forgot about these starbases yeah uh vladimir stefanov you're completely right five pops early is better than 10 pops later or 10 pops early is better than 20 pops later because we can make more use of them in our research facilities [Music] system survey complete technological acquisition successful anti-matter reactors we're almost there when it comes to zero-point power which is very good [Music] [Music] technological acquisition successful ala megafat gorgeous perfect uh kill me 304 yeah aa pops are not optimal whatsoever but having someone to work the job is necessary let's go for focusing crystals and i should probably go for sensors situation log adjusted we can get an extra cruiser uh to our fleet anomalous surface variable detected all right this is going to be a tough fight this is 4k fleet power versus an enemy empire which can't potentially flank us around it's going to take them forever to flag us around and we'd probably kill them before they do but if they do ah that's a problem you're 22 habitats anyone that's amazing and hopefully they don't build a station here just as we're entering in uh that uh closes us off because that kind of suck weapon testing alien weapons situation law sure let's take a look at these weapons is this the one that gives a connected battery because if it does uh that'd be pretty pog all right moment of truth are we going to see our fleet disappear as we enter the system complete no this system is the one that's gonna make us go poof all right normally i'd save the game here but uh meh i'll just go in diplomatic alert war protocols initiated special project complete alien lasers so we can either get uh x-rays or tier four armor but we we don't need armor so we'll go for lasers let's go for sensors let's see what they have uh nothing it seems and this station has 600 fleet power sets easy logical acquisition successful oh oh okay that is good i'm sorry for the loot noises but that is uh living metal uh we oh my frickin god all right so we're gonna probably expand out of this territory then we do want living metal that is good really good system survey complete see let's reinforce our fleet a little bit very well detected i actually will reinforce off of this uh station i like to get a a choke hold and this empire hostile fleet assets engage hostile stationary asset engaged yeah lasers aren't nearly as good at uh station cracking as plasmas are but whatever anomalous surface we're gonna make some plasmas on the station system survey complete i declare a rivalry okay i see our fleet is a little bit scuffed but we're just going to keep carrying on because we want to get this war done asap i'll probably take this oh obs disconnected it's trying to reconnect uh there might be a stream delay reconnection successful all right obs is back sorry about that if you experience any buffering anomalous surface variable detected uh it's kind of sucks that their fleet if fleet is not yet seen it means that they're probably not split up and we might actually see some issues here oh that's fine you have uh cruisers on our side yeah alex devry uh living metal is uh the dream like this is quite amazing network six connected all right there might be slightly lower bit rate which i might need to deal with construction complete not allowed to merge what do you mean not allowed to merge all right that's kind of bs anomalous surface variable detected situation log adjusted [Music] all right bit rate should be back i'm sorry for these tactical issues but uh no acquisition successful yeah we're back oh bitrate for whatever reason is really low i'm gonna go yell at uh yell at everyone else in the household to i get their internet uh to stop uploading stuff technological acquisition successful yeah all right give me a second i'll pull up the engineering tech tree uh do not leave we will uh we'll continue this on in a second i'll be right back [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] and we're back [Music] i gotta get starlink internet yes all right let's see how we're going to deal with this how are we going to deal with this i guess we can engage this fleet first and then we'll engage the other fleet it seems that they might have bugged a little bit or not i hear them moving yep looks like they were just waiting for us to get into the system they might attack us from two directions alright so we took this station are they going to invade no they're not going to invade are these guys going to invade not really now let's go for their capital in that case [Music] all right now this is the part where i about my internet uh but basically that oh my lord this fleet has a better hyperdrive doesn't it yeah this is the part where i complained about uh my internet provider but uh i actually switched the plan to a gigabit internet connection but it didn't increase the upload speed at all like comcast doesn't offer increased uh upload speed it only increases the download speed bro the bit rate is still low all right i might have to uh i'd have to deal with this again uh one second well at least you can see that we're running this war so that's positive news look at my gaming chair more [Music] [Music] yeah this is the authentic uh stefan anon streaming experience holy i'm actually going to go to that system because it seems that the ai is trying to intercept us and cut us off but not going to let them alert spaceport engaged looks like our cruiser's got to take the brunt of the damage system survey complete alright so we managed to kill their fleets and now we will take their land now we should also upgrade our research segment and yeah look at the bitrate it's back to normal holy or back baby [Music] all right uh our fleet power or our army power rather should be enough to take out their capital so let's actually send over the transport flow acquisitions by itself i got this this cruiser is going to die eventually nope it disengaged the cruiser is still alive also looks like we're way over on energy credits let's do some uh buying stuff in that case biden's equivalent of a connection i have damn pacification protocols initiated anomalous surface variable detected let's go chase down their fleet and take out their glass stations and successful round invasion units have achieved all objectives let's do our uh good old-fashioned static research analysis gotta give us some more research alternatives which is excellent alert spaceport engaged and now the biggest issue is going to be trying to find another empire because oh bunker bot let's grab that 10 extra engineering research speed we have to find another empire like i did this run with uh only finding a single empire to kill and the results were not very good and by not very good i mean now we had some minor problems with getting the mega mega structure getting built in year 70 instead of year 62 so this might be uh might be a little uh rough around the edges unfortunately these guys seem to be just ejecting their armies into space which is excellent emma hope he doesn't come back with blood on his shirt ah don't worry i want to go that far right at least you hope i will probably not going to capture their last planet until we can get at these two systems because i do want to go for the living metal and i don't want to stick all the way from here or all the way from here to get there but these are 1.1 k stations these actually would cause losses yeah whatever planetary pacification we have time we can build over to living metal acquisition we only need loving metal in like year 50 so it's okay let's see we're back to negative energy which means that our fleet might have just gotten uh its ass kicked no not really you don't want to be engaged in uh in a fight with a negative economy and that's exactly what we did because we have all these trade deals [Music] all right there we go that's the final station i think our economy tanked because we also took over one of the planets here and planets like these have you know various al omega forges stuff like that that actually i consume a lot of energy i mean the the stream is having issues i'm just dropping all the frames right now that's weird stream has been good since we got back well now it's [Music] come on come on you can do it you can do it there we go the thing is finally green oh nope drop frames drop frames this is just [Music] i i will have to eject people into space if this continues i'm so sorry about this this is just your life in america okay all right we're about to invade the final planet and we have to go back uh to kill another ai empire hopefully there's another empire up in north well at least there's curators of dorth [Music] okay all right we're actually back to normal now holy uh a bit more subs than that i could afford starlink yeah that's that's the way you uh got to think about the situation look if i get enough uh if i get enough donations i'll get starling i'll just put a what is a big radio dish at my uh my house pay elon musk 200 bucks a month planetary pacification protocols initiated all right we're actually probably going to make this uh planet our energy planet uh just because we're going to want to supplement our main world let's see our empire sprawl is actually an issue now so let's enable and upgrade our network junction successful take care of our empire's problem look do we know if starlight get her understood is good well uh the elon musk fanboys say it's good therefore it must be good right that's how the world works all right we got 127 pops now we need more we just need more pops these pops aren't going to be useful uh although worst case scenario we will invade the hive might just take their planets all right let's see we're a little behind on schedule uh we're in your 28 and we only got our first set of uh pops conquered but that's more or less fine i guess uh there was a primitive planet somewhere i definitely saw the pop-up so let's see where they are they're all the way over here they have 28 pops holy moly all right so so apparently we had 28 pops just sitting at our doorstep the entire time i see how it is let's go invade them a foreign entity communications curators great yeah i should make a hive mind uh named the elon fanboy coalition they could tell me how good teslas are and how they're uh absolutely the future not some uh gag for rich people get the great game for reduced uh upgrade costs and we're going to go and get uh what's it called system survey complete uh more research on our home planet [Music] now we're also going to want to make a new sector for these planets and assign them i don't know this dude we're very temporarily out of energy credits but that's okay i guess talk bad about elon stream goes bad god damn it the most kites are trying to cut it to my internet those goddamn fanboys damn [Music] all right so the current fcc report is saying starlink averages 100 megabit uh download up 20 megabit upload with 30 milliseconds latency i mean that's it's four times better upload than uh the i have so who knows maybe i do need to bow down to uh to musky i do have to say though uh even if we don't have another empire somewhere nearby it's not as terrible as it could be uh because we do have these primitives over here so in theory could make this work in practice uh i don't know about that we're getting like th this space is so empty i've never i've never been in this situation before i was just like me here a useless empire here and the only useful empire is i'll scan the systems one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fourteen seconds away from the capital bruh that ain't cool yo dread it run from it destiny arrives all the same all right i don't know if two armies are enough to invade oh they're not enough to invade but i kind of don't want to wait for these guys to come over because that's gonna take them a thousand days technological acquisition successful uh we have way too much way too much uh coordinators and that's looking better and that's looking better perfect construction complete construction templates are something i kind of do want but metallurgist output is also good i don't know man this is a rare attack so we'll go for it so we got arrested development under governor all right wonderful let's employ one of the the new cyborgs hopefully he'll do a better job than our beep boop tobias i paid 50 freedom money per month for 220. 340. bro it's not even it it's not even that uh america's bad is just that my area is horrible there's one internet provider that provides uh copper instead of wi-fi and it's comcast like i'm like okay look i i can't switch over to a tnt but they're they're gonna give me uh wireless i'm not going to stream on wireless that's just not going to happen well considering the track record of this company i might as well try system survey complete a galatron get all right let's well we're too poor to even try for the galatron technological acquisition successful uh let's see go for extra monthly influence do we go for extra monthly influence i'd rather go for a reduced deviancy because deviancy is soon going to be a problem in our capital let's try to make sure that doesn't happen hey we got a stagnant ascendancy so uh yes the empire over here on empire of course their fallen empire see we have a lot of energy production i mean alloys production uh we might as well build up our star ports because we do need six upgraded star ports to get an increased likelihood of megastructures see let's keep going for energy we have a lot of energy workers in our empire and it's uh working quite well for us [Music] i put the rest of the house on 18th so i can comcast myself a good idea except when they just cut the internet this this is now an internet discussion stream freaking i did not want this to happen [Music] uh at this point we could probably afford another research segment maybe kind of want to afford another research segment let's go for another research segment like our economy is doing not wonderfully well but uh fine so let's keep it that way [Music] let's see i hate how we're still on tier 2 tech's technological acquisition i guess we got we got a few uh good texts but god these tech roles they're not good at all let's go for a dead end tech i guess [Music] or subsidies are nice and uh research processing centers too our fleet is back and fully repaired let's go invade this planet real quick and get some more primitives [Music] [Music] initiated [Music] i love this derelict cruiser i love how it's just uh not merging with our fleet because it has a better hyperdrive see can we upgrade our normal ships i kind of want to merge them eh i guess not special project complete we got a minor artifact do we have enough to incorporate artifact relays yes we do some extra stability right there ground invasion units have achieved all objectives all right we got primitives so we're gonna identity supplement them but uh we got an event popping up because these guys have a dead god on their planet we can give them plus 25 resources from all jobs i wonder if that's gonna stay as they're getting assimilated i hope it does but that is going to be awesome and we are the dead god [Music] you're 32 doing relatively well technological acquisition successful still another research segment uh we'll probably want another two research segments in fact ah we got to get our tech output higher we're only at 1k i've had runs where i had 2k by this point uh landing on peanut is for subsidies useful uh i misspoke uh they're not useful at all i was thinking more about the resource processing etc for subsidies uh look at that it increases upkeep by one and it gives ten percent middle largest output like in vacuum that's good but considering eating capacity it's horrible and this could be a mineral world there's a lot of uh resources to go technological to get frozen specialization and if we're not specializing we're playing stuff inefficiently and you know how much i hate that construction complete construction complete construction complete let's took some solar panels on these guys [Music] so hey obs are you going to reconnect [Music] every connection successful all right cool elon's got him boys i might genuinely have to take down the stream because well take down the stream after it's done uh like i'll still keep streaming for you guys but i might have to make a video out of this instead of uh keeping this up with a stream because the quality isn't exactly uh top notch let's see are these guys getting the extra bonuses from oh my god they are getting the extra bonuses holy so they're convicted for the next 20 years uh i might want to resettle these guys to our home planet like a lot of them to our home planet that is amazing and there we go all right our tech output is starting to rise uh we still need another research segment uh but it's not bad right now technological acquisition successful new encounter in the black hole is it aliens nope it's just void clouds of course there would be aliens nearby alright star fortress planetary supercomputer all these are very good and i mean if we take this uh just in a vacuum uh getting start fortunes in your 33 getting habitats in near third uh what is it 23. this is amazing speaking of habitats we can build one and we will want to build one uh to make sure that we can uh you know get the 2x multiplier megastructures to happen technological acquisition successful these seem to be aliens for once uh but our fleet isn't exactly up to par to take them construction complete construction complete construction complete f food yeah right oh we're getting there we're getting there all these convicted pops have now been assimilated and we're actually gonna make this planet the dedicated food world a foreign entity has a decrypted we got the void clouds uh honestly should probably reduce the amount of allied workers we have for a sec because uh alloys are good and all but we don't necessarily need alloys right now and i'd rather have resources to resettle pops and fix up our planets um these blockers real quick now we will have more pops of cram on the planet technological acquisition successful all right so right now we're at the point where we got uh the all the texts we need to get the prerequisites we have uh star fortresses we have cruisers and we have anti-matter reactors uh this means that technological if we get the other techs in about 16 years we'll be gucci oh my god let's see how many tier three text do we have one two three four five six seven even all right so at this point it is worth going for the lower text just to do some uh re-rolling and also to get some bonuses like opposites to be plus two percent can't say no to that technological acquisition successful alright so we met the xerocorp good to know okay all right cool so that's some inefficiencies dealt with we still need about uh what's it called 500 more tech but we can get that i will also go for the curators soon enough [Music] like we're currently at uh plus 180 energy credits per month i do want to go for the curator deal asap technological activity cost us 3k which is just fine also uh what is not fun is we're gonna have to go for six of these higher tier technologies uh in total and that's going to be difficult stephan i think you need to apologize to elon i'm so sorry uh iwan yvonne muskie you're the greatest right greatest innovator billionaire of our time yes yes i'm merely a humble consumer let me uh let me buy your teslas for uh eighty thousand dollars yes yes a foreign entity has decrypted megacorp all right let's see here uh by this point our tiny fleet isn't going to do much and these guys are actually behind highmind but i guess we have good relations with the hive might so it's fine i guess it's fine we could potentially invade these guys still ah let's do that we have resources let's build a fleet acquisition successful zero point reactor okay so that's one of the three corrections for mega engineering i'll see can we go for tier 2 strike craft no we can't now let's actually go for a larger weapons let's go for plasma throwers i didn't go for upgraded plasma throwers because i figured we'd be fine with just our current situation but i'd rather take these guys if i can anyone excel excited for 3.1 uh i've heard that 3.0 was coming but i never found a dev diary or anything about 3.1 uh what's happening in 3.1 [Music] please do let me know let's start researching these anomalies these should be at the point of uh giving us the maximum 10 000 uh reward so we should be able to make stonks off of these and before i forget we also need to go ahead and expand uh to get a living metal how much would it cost to just flop a station down there and we can afford it we don't really need much influence like we're i'm glad i cued that by the way that because that's the habitat getting built but yeah we don't need all that much influence this is good all right now we're over producing food but that's fixable there we go easy fix i'll build another research segment once we can we're finally getting to a point where our research is reasonable for this build not not quite we need to be at 2k we're not at 2k so it's not fine technological acquisition successful [Music] situation log adjusted anomalous surface variable detected i don't think a has a significantly large fleet at this point uh but yeah as you can see we're not going to be getting anywhere close to fitters in supremacy so yeah well we're not going to be finishing privacy and starting another tree like uh we're going to be able to finish supremacy just by the time we need it just by the time we need the second essential perk getting attention theory though is going to be a bit of a rough stretch of our empire building see we can always almost afford the curator it's great deal oh my god they've raised the prices to 4k [Music] system survey complete they raised the prices to 4k just as we're about to buy more stuff from them this is a scumbag move so speaking of come back moves like just just look at that we have access to tier four technologies and engineering and we're not getting to your four technologies we had access for so many texts by this point but no game no likey hey yeah yeah or maybe i should uh instead of praying to elon i should pray to comcast become a domestic servant for uh for their mega corporation bro we got scum and villainy on this planet this is bad this is really bad uh let's build sentinel posts because there is a chance of an event firing that gives us minus 30 stability and that would completely kill the run all right sent all posts let's go is elegant system worth it yes it is just not in this one should be replacing this building instead all right i hope these sentinel posts are gonna do it uh we'll probably need to build one more set but uh yeah this is this is not good how's our capital our buddy what's our next biggest planet this one [Music] this way we can make this world a research ring world technological acquisition successful although that is going to cause more deviancy issues shoot [Music] all right that's fine at least we're getting like 2k uh science output already it's pretty good uh can we hire a governor to produce deviancy i think we can i just don't want to roll for it i want to get the extra science i think we could take care of deviants with sentinel posts and stuff like that technological acquisition successful comcast back building coming bro it's incoming considering how these tech roles are just not getting us what we want like i'm getting a tier one tech to reroll to possibly get a tier four tech technological acquisition successful [Music] all right curators give research assistance thank you all right now i know we're at plus 48 percent research progress for engineering it's pretty good [Music] technological acquisition successful alien spacecraft situation log ah that's the rubricator isn't it technological acquisition successful i can't quite afford to replace these guys because that amenities are a problem how do we square this circle i guess we can replace some of the alloy output because we don't need this much i don't even have machine assembly plants on these this is looking more like a year 30 uh your 70 rather mega structure run just fine special project complete uh heirloom yes the hunter secret drones are employed adjusted it looks like we got this planet right here that we're definitely going to survey and uh exploit for minor artifacts technological acquisition successful system survey complete i don't think i've ever seen tech rolls this bad before i'm not gonna lie holy moly situation log adjusted technological acquisition successful energy from jobs plus 25 on our energy planet i see how it is i see how it is uh what's it happened at yes we have more tier four texts in our society tree than we do in our freaking engineering tree what what is this what is this all right let's uh war deck these guys and they have an alliance of course they do a foreign entity has decrypted greetings mr alliance man all right at least we took care of the deviancy issue it is costing us six pops though which is not good [Music] boxing crystals are gonna cost us 141 jesus construction complete it's a lot at 7.4 k from solar sailor and finally we're getting to your vortex let's go for that metal or just output growth on launchers all right all right system survey complete system survey complete all right there's the crystal edict also it's an arm and a leg but got it and we got arrested development of course we did uh let's do some resettlements because pops that aren't working are pops that are inefficient speaking of inefficiency our growth speed is just sad right now i mean we'll we'll be doing some artificial growth by just uh taking over other people's space but and it's kind of kind of a surrogate really rather than the real deal let's see i don't think these guys will have a lot of power but their stations are not looking to be uh very easy to take out like we'll probably lose the direct cruiser for example maybe not actually set my army to follow that let's uh correct that real quick planetary settlement procedure initiated all right there we go we can make that our forward starbase anomalous surface variable detected technological acquisition successful we got dark matter even so looks like we got all the strategics except first row hello when do they change the mining station output to be up to thirty percent logical acquisition so way more than i remember it being system survey complete [Music] we're at the point where we have to go for another nexus segment because housing is just a severe problem right now let's see their fleet is here a lot more fleet power than i thought it was uh going to be so we're actually just going to retreat as soon as we can because we can't take their fleet and that station together are they gonna take and uh take initiative and invade they might let's see if we're fast enough we'll be able to repair and defend the station and then go from here because we already got a four base of operations uh with this guy technological acquisition successful construction complete once this next segment is up all these problems are going to be fixed easily uh low brow i think is just a tooltip change no i think the effects are actually higher i'm going to check how much resources our starbases are producing that seems to be a whole lot uh let's see like this right here so that's 19 uh do i see how much bass it is i actually don't see how much bass it is but i'm pretty sure technology i'm pretty sure it's way less than 19 uh base production all right we got these ships repaired uh let's start to build more ships i like how i keep not going for uh or hangar bays i mean hangar bays aren't the most efficient thing to go for so that's why i'm not going for them but uh starting to cost us [Music] uh if you want total war yeah that's basically their only purpose except for uh blowing up crisis planets faster the colossae aren't great at all because you want pops and blowing up other planets is kind of like counter-intuitive you're blowing up pops records you identified well we need those minerals i don't care about relations what i do care about is the fact that we're out of gas uh so once we get some machine assembly plans up and running i'll get some gas plants let's see that's a good chunk of flea power but we're making our own fleet power pretty quickly system survey complete all things considered we're not doing that bad uh but our engineering tree is like i'm i'm really saddened about uh our engineering roles like we're almost at the final tier of tech in physics but engineering even though we got a lot of modifiers for it we have one two tier four text which means we're gonna need to research this one and then three more add two four text before we can get mag engineering technological acquisition successful see let's ah okay let's go for strike craft uh low brow deluxe the a-class literally auto simulates you know what also you could do you could invade the planet and it's going to assimilate slightly slower but it's going to assimilate very very quickly either way complete like ta simulation is so busted that making instant with a colossus saves you like two years especially if you resettle if you resettle the pops that you conquer it's just uh it's just a case of a year like the yearly assimilation take is gonna happen and you're you're good to go the only thing that i didn't mention that colossus uh is good at is a fallen empire falling apart is nice technological acquisition successful we still need to get battleships and uh citadels uh so for citadels i'm gonna upgrade three of my stations to star fortresses and then for mega engineering we should be good to go there already see do we need industrial sect uh we need all these segments all right so our ring world is built up basically uh so let's start building up some more other planets i'm gonna cancel this trade deal we're gonna wanna build up uh these habitats and these other planets to actually produce some minerals for us like this one for instance and these ones technological acquisition successful [Music] are we got 9k here we should be able to invade uh once these new fleets are already successful how many two years could matter well yeah but at the same time it's you could either save two years or save an essential perk slot ten years of engineering research technology and about successful uh 3 000 alloys so it's not the universally good thing like the colossus is expensive as like it's a super weapon so of course it's expensive but it's not like in practicality it's not very good now let's give this guy uh some range or i mean trickster could work too let's go for a trickster i don't want to take many losses against these guys actually these guys are positioned very close to the higher plane this is awesome we're gonna be able to take them and then take the station afterwards [Music] 207 pops i want to increase my pop count by at least a factor of two so technological acquisition successful advanced habitats uh let's see i mean we could take advanced striker i don't really want to take advantage craft but it's going to keep showing up anyways so might as well take it now and forever hold my keys like the borders here we're gonna heal up at the station then we're gonna continue our advanced we should be good to go for conquering the rest of this guy's empire [Music] [Music] oh wait i did not go for mining text because i wanted to avoid uh getting okay okay this is a problem we don't have a lot of mining efficiency so going from mineral workers is not very optimal in our case i totally thought we went for mining tax considering the amount of uh low tier technology we're getting but guess not let's keep advancing technological acquisition successful [Music] diplomatic assimilators best assimilator i mean driven assimilator just no matter how you spin it it's technology incredible position successful i guess we can go for mining techs planetary pacification protocols initiated we do need minerals logical acquisition success i mean 112 hours per month should be enough to get us enough enough aloe in total uh let's go for a living [Music] let's go for a living medal it's gonna be two years by the time we're done with living metal uh the reasoning for living metal here is by the time we're done with it we should be done with these uh star fortresses so the chance of citadels should be relatively high i'm using the term a lot because this is all theoretical technological acquisition successful technological acquisition successful labrador deluxe how did it do harmony ah okay you guys are talking about imperium now i'm gonna go around here hopefully bait their fleet so i don't have to engage them and the station at the same time construction complete so we got our complete star fortresses built up very good means that citadels have a 3x multiplier to them appearing in engineering since we are we have access to four technologies we should see them up here in theory i just conquered this planet here what we've got to do is unemploy some of our alloy workers alert spaceport deconstructed it looks like these guys are pushing through they're gonna die at the station if not that station then this station [Music] oh look at that they're invading technology oh no they ran weak those are weaklings [Music] technological acquisition successful uh why don't these guys invade they have armies they have armies but not enough it's like the first time uh a general is actually coming in handy planetary pacification protocols initiated construction complete all right awesome so we're sitting at 2 30 pops quite low but we can get that number up 251 pops now perfect [Music] and i'm honestly just gonna start spamming energy at this point [Music] [Music] so we're fine on alloys we're fine on tech well kind of fine on tech more tech is good uh at this point we just have to take the pops make sure economy doesn't die and we should be golden dusk can we get a stuff on advisor voice i'd say in a very very soft voice oh they ever took the station wow do these have these guys have minerals to offer us no because they're sets of they're sassy of uh our empire these guys are also very sauce of our empire technological acquisition successful let's see come on four months then we get citadels and we get battleships and then we're were at mega engineering hopefully alert hostile fleet assets detected uh that should take care of the moats issue what this plan is all about minerals and these guys want peace uh we're not gonna give them peace yes we still need at least 100 pops all right let's reroll with afterburner specification protocols we can't afford to extend our curator unfortunately come on like we literally have a voidcraft ground invasion units have achieved all objectives all right so we took care of this empire uh so let's invade their ally technological acquisition successful petroleum armor screw it let's go for minerals that's gonna put a lot more text in the pool but we actually kind of need minerals technological acquisition successful [Music] going on with these planets summer goods the hell alert station engaged [Music] technological acquisition successful go for more gas plants technological acquisition successful technological acquisition successful citadels finally year 50. we might be on track for a year 66 but just barely [Music] communications alert got my artifacts which means we have a much more stability here we're going to upgrade the system conflicts get more resources um our armies got a little messed up unfortunately we did take this system i want to clean up these little straggler fleets though actually maybe not we'll just take over this space uh build another fleet to kill the stragglers and then once we need the alloys we'll downgrade the fleet and recover some of the costs technological acquisition successful energy nexus we still need ascension theory but that can wait alert hostile fleet assets detected they thought they could sing behind us nope i'll also make a new sector for these guys as well i'm aware we have too many amenities on this planet hopefully we can remedy that [Music] by employing more pops we are also finally sufficient on gas uh homemade gas guys good good stuff technological acquisition successful the plasma cannons could be helpful once we build the system conflicts our sprawl issues are going to be fixed and we have even more stability on our planet perfect we fit a supremacy which means we can go for award doctrine which is going to be rapid deployment but we're not going to go for supremacy we don't really need supremacy it gives us less more exhaustion and more naval cap but that's yeah citadels are researched now we need to reroll and get uh battleships i hope that's not going to be too difficult but it might cause some issues i keep running out of food i don't know what's up with magical acquisition successful i guess we need to get a food planet up that's a proper food planet [Music] technological acquisition successful battleships okay okay we're on track we're on track see and we have living metal too so let's build that and holy this might be a year 66 run now we need to do is get our alloy output up because the chance of get of us getting mega structures uh very soon are fairly high [Music] [Music] always your processing center i wish that we got that earlier technological acquisition i guess we can go for that that's six pops but we can afford it [Music] i don't know what planet the pops got taken from but does it really matter not really wasteful processing insiders are great like they cost nothing to build and they give us resources straight up there we go 10 jump drives lamar technological acquisition there we go megastructural engineering honestly i want to check what sort of weight we have on this just forgive me but i'm going to do a console right actually wait i'm not sure if i can check the uh the tech way with debug tooltip i'll try though add debug what is the weight for this tech even yeah five thousand weight so by doing all the things that we did we get five thousand wait for megastructures to show up that's pretty incredible all right we're gonna disable debug tooltip because it's kind of cheesy and it is using console commands but that's good to know that using this build you get basically guaranteed megastructural engineering as long as you get all the other prerequisites of course [Music] so now it's just alloy time construction complete [Music] so this feels good man at 31 months to get this that's still a while [Music] uh but we should be good to go now one thing we got to keep in mind is that we don't want to pick our next uh tradition because we want to save uh unity or the ambitions let's see do we have six texts one two three four five six text okay so we have access to the unity ambitions we just have to reroll for it let's reroll dead end text until we get to ambitions and then we can get architectural renaissance which gives us plus 50 speed which is amazing i hope these guys don't get cut i don't think they will technological acquisition successful all right we got a repeatable already that's a good sign they just keep rerolling texts until they get unity ambitions [Music] obviously did to get caught and set the home base to this stations that it teleports over here when it's destroyed uh let's go to the curators by 10 research speed bonus we got the 10k alloys necessary for the first i think we got to do which is to upgrade our ring world section communications alert all right we hit war exhaustion uh but we'll still try to take a couple of these guys as planets because they do have allied production planetary pacification protocols honestly at this point replicators are unnecessary uh we're not really gonna get a lot of benefit out of them uh as much as they will consume alloys this is definitely something you wouldn't do in a normal run but in in this challenge obviously you want the best time possible [Music] so i'll stench planetary pacification program can we do another reverse engineer adaptive combat algorithms that's fine 18 months till megastructures yeah we're pretty much ready to go honestly we're just gonna auto piece them uh once we take their final planet or will we take their planet am i not this is this is a fight one robot versus one uh freaking defensive soldier this guy wins he'll be able to uh slaughter all the disengaged troops come onto acquisition successful i guess i guess he's not gonna be able to borrow the hell out of this planet then we do kind of need the the ambition excuse me sir i have uh boundaries to prioritize accusations successful communications are their armies dead let's go take the planet and then end the war as i want to disband my fleeting protocols initiated there's gonna be four and a half thousand alloys to our name right there uh what builds are the best for children's honestly my best and most favorite chill build is just tree of life high mind it's the build i played originally in 3.0 and it's still great it's a powerful build that feels nice and that works very well let's look at that plus 59 percent a penalty due to empire sprawl like really we're slightly over our admin cap and we can't do research because of that smh i think one more uplink node should do it yep unfortunately our uh tech progression is not going to be lost uh due to this little inconvenience technological acquisition successful yeah border gore that you don't say it's horrible we're actually capped on alloys so we better get the mega structural engineering done quickly i guess i can dump some of the alloys uh into citadels and then i can cancel them later this is gonna serve as makeshift storage why aren't i close to cap the reason why i'm not close to cap is because we just conquered other empire technological acquisition successful uplink notes are about to finish though so that's kind of logical acquisition successful finish stuff off for us perfect now let's go and i've got our first ring section uh since we have living metal we can also do that that's gonna be hella expensive though jesus christ that is going to ruin us still need it yeah this is disgusting uh we can't sell minerals i kind of don't want to sell alloys but i kind of do need living metal so let's get scammed by this augmentation's completed perfect scamming complete and now our big ring is getting built 50 faster now all we need is uh the unity ambition to get another 50 to uh build speed technological acquisition success and after that all we really need is uh time time and a bit of patience i might have uh overdone it with ala foundry's tbh all right so we're going to keep that tradition technological acquisition successful gotta keep re-rolling until we can get uh the goodies communication and then we'll uh we'll see the final time for this run probably speed up the game significantly at this point logical acquisition success ah just give me ambitions just keep ambition all i ask for i guess we could do some resettlement i want to stabilize our economy and then we can do some micro micromanagement technological acquisition successful sell modes yes let's sell more more modes mo modes yeah at this point i could probably answer some questions uh speaking of wasted alloys technological acquisition successful honestly we could have been slightly more efficient in this run uh we could have built less alloys and more research but that wouldn't have mattered too much like we're still good on alloys and we're not over uh doing it on research at all our only problem is that we got slightly unlucky with uh tech rolls if we got more lucky then we would have had uh this stuff at least five years earlier and at that point our ally production would have made sense [Music] yeah what dumb move is the community doing now they're actually forming the galactic market also uh you see that we're not uh in in the lead when it comes to uh diplomate that's because of our isolationist would be easily the biggest umpire in the galaxy uh without it i gotta i gotta sort out my uh minerals issues technological acquisition successful let's see uh consumer goods are something we don't need tech is something we don't really need under secret drones or something we definitely don't need actually we do need tech i lied now i can't sell consumer goods because um we're not producing consumer goods therefore we can't sell them because logic honestly we're fine on alloys if we have any planets over producing allies we could probably cease technological acquisition successful let's just say i'm hella surprised we haven't gotten our precursor yet i haven't been doing the best job at uh gunning for it but it's no reason not to get precursors all right game is trolling for all intents and purposes consider this build uh essentially good for 66. we're just not getting uh unity ambitions even though we had that opportunity for the past uh what uh one two three four five six seven eight nine ten texts so yeah sanity is in session we're voting on the good stuff the galactic market that's actually going to uh save our economy which is currently just dead although it's it's coming back it's coming back we have uh a lot of goodies at this point captain danny wants son we don't need tech yeah technological acquisition successful i'm waiting to just say there we go we got unity ambitions but no at this point we could probably just go on fastest position successful we don't really care about engineering we don't really care about physics all we care about now is the timing successful technological acquisition success actually we're gonna cancel uh research and technological acquisition successful in physics after sas sex assistant logical acquisition successful i want to store up some research so that once we get um what's it called dyson shares we research the technology as quickly as possible technological acquisition successful so we're going to just store up a bunch of physics uh research technological acquisition successful uh technological acquisition successful technological acquisition successful how could do home planet types make any difference uh it's usually best to go for tundras if you want minerals actually yeah tundras for minerals dry worlds for energy and separate worlds for food technological acquisition successful so we have three four purple text here none of them are uh ambitions see how much tech we have stored 30k i mean that should be good enough but once we if we start researching stuff uh it's going to what's it called actually consume our stored research that's not good technological acquisition successful there we go unity ambitions it only took forever i kicks oh my what just happened okay uh kicks forever hello what are the tech costs 1x believe it or not we're at 1x and i mean i'm not sure how quickly we're going to be able to get dysons but we should be able to get it right around your 66. [Music] uh thomas weimer uh it does depend on how many tech bonuses well not how many tech bonuses how many speed bonuses do you have uh but typically to build a dyson if with a plus 100 bonus would take 25 years with a plus 150 would take like 18. so 18 years from year 66 we're going to get a full dyson and we have plenty of allies i had to afford it at normal speed though it's 10 years per segment but normally like you want to be going if you're going for megastructures you would at least be running uh the essential perk to increase speed and you'd be running uh the ambition right dice is here 20 months and then uh we'll be able to boost its construction by a whole lot probably gonna do a video to sum up uh what happened in the stream i don't know if i want to keep the stream up considering the technical difficulties we've had like half the stream is me complaining about comcast but i don't know what do you guys think uh vote should we keep the stream up yes or should we take it uh honestly i'm not gonna i'm not gonna vote no no no no not gonna i'm probably just gonna take this stream down because it's not really up to par quality-wise technological acquisition successful there we go ambitions now we do a little bit of trickery we use the extra such a brick slot for master builders and we use the extra tradition extra unity we have or architectural renaissance and now uh hold on now wait till we get the dyson sphere finished and then yeah we gucci cybrix uh will give you extra speed like if you get cybrics you can get this done a lot quicker uh than this one but at the same time cyborgs also just gives you mega gearing for free so it's way easier technological acquisition successful all right there we go final stretch [Music] technology acquisition successful i'm just gonna restore all the jobs on these planets stabilize our economy technological and acquisition successful technological acquisition successful people are actually saying put it upside keep keep the stream up for the memes technological acquisition success may reconsider there there's like a 82 second delay so i i'm sorry for not live attraction acquisition successful situation log adjusted 500 likes to keep the stream up okay okay okay if you guys get 500 likes on the stream i will keep it up as of odd otherwise i will unlist it so let's see let's see yeah at this point uh we're almost ready for the dice's fear sight and uh if you guys have any questions please do go ahead and ask them all right 86 bro are we going to get this dice out of dear 65 am i gonna have to change the thumbnail no no no please game game slow down slow down technology don't do it construction shift don't do it come on we can get a year 66 booyah year 66 dyson as promised as advertised perfect look at that look at that you're 66 dyson and then thumbnail it says your 66 dyson it's almost like a plan this house it's almost like all the the micro uh mistakes that i made along the way they were all to get the dyson done in year 66. i mean okay look we definitely could have gotten this done at least five years ago if we just got lucky with tech rolls but the thing with tech rolls is that it's not completely up to luck it's also up to weight uh like we maximize the weights for at the engineering techs we maximize the the stuff for engineering and we got all we needed relatively quickly although at one point we had a stretch of just really bad roles like uh we got access to tier four like okay okay let's count let's count so let's see cruiser says one two three four five six text so from this point onwards we had access to tier four technologies that's one two four five six seven eight nine ten twelve so that's like a dozen and a half uh tech rolls we had where we just couldn't get to your vortex it's ridiculous uh but still that is that is a pretty good uh pretty good performance all in all were you two uh but yeah i'm gonna actually very quickly check the science tech tree i mean the society tech tree because in previous ones i never had issues with unity ambitions and that alone would have taken off two years off of this run so let's see society ambition theory ah god damn it all right okay okay so quick correction and quick tip for you guys uh also trying to do this build uh you want a curator or a statecraft scientist i don't think we have a sticker oh we do so if we had this guy if we had this guy instead of the guy we had in tech we would have five times greater chance of rolling ascension theory that is something i'm definitely going to keep in mind for the future because i did not know that i never had problems with essential theory that's why i didn't really bother to check but you definitely want a statecraft scientist or a curator on your society if you want to get uh ambition theory immediately instead of rolling uh 20 something text for it so yeah that's pretty good now let's check the light count right 453 likes guys come on we're uh not quite there not quite there i'll give i'll give you guys some time uh in the meantime we'll just see how fast it's going to take to build this thing successful 100 1440 days uh divide that by 360. that's going to be uh quick maths quick maths uh i could totally do this in my head uh technology my phone is simply an accession my uh head obviously uh that is four years so that's four years per stage technological acquisition successful uh times five stages that's 20 years in total so we would have a full dyson sphere producing four thousand energy credits per month technically acquisition successful you're 86 that's crazy that's genuinely crazy full dyson in year 86 without cybrics without finding a ruined ice sphere without anything year 86 full dyson it does take a bit of luck does take a bit of skill normal runs i don't have 3k tech in your 67. in fact i don't have i don't even have one paytech in your 67 then on some runs well and unbelievable primitive runs but that's beside the point you have to do a lot of stuff to make this build go right but once you do it's freaking amazing 469 likes i mean let's do more uh for now i'll talk about the questions that we're getting in chat uh joel what is asking you giving up on twitch streaming uh nope uh on twitch i'm going to uh be streaming the weekend multi-games uh that i normally have every saturday so that's at least one stream per week otherwise uh i want to occasionally pop in and stream competitive games or runs where i'm just practicing for videos although i'll probably be streaming it in the mornings for me or uh evenings for you europeans out there because last time i streamed when it was 8 00 p.m my time there were no viewers and i got hella tired by the end of the stream it was uh it was terrible yeah okay okay you know what you know what 500 likes you guys uh you guys made me keep the stream up there you go technological acquisition successful stream like 82 seconds so you're going to hear it in over a minute uh but yeah technological acquisition i don't know how the helmet timed the ending of the stream probably the builder forces are moving against us i'll just ignore that look we have 42 000 uh allah's this is nothing all we have to do is slap some uh some protons in these ships let's see neutron launchers
