Eager Explorers is the Best Civic in Stellaris

why are you handing me this what is this what trash that'll be a written apology oh huh we can pick your oh this is very nice then we gotta get this Frame eager explorers is some of the best fun I've had in Stellaris man I said it now you may ask the question why is this the most fun Civic in the game well these Primitives can synergize but nearly every single origin within the game still though what what do they actually do though um well first of all there's four different variants of them they all have a similar core but are different in the details the core of eager explorers goes as follows you start as Primitives you're missing most of the main starter Tech and you do not have hyperdrive instead you have a different FTL type very similarly to set up to jump drive it's called a Subspace drive it's basically the same thing you also get two exploration ships and one construction ship now these come with fancy new models with Fusion torches and a blade of shielding finally you have also 10 less pops than usual and this is kinda where similarities between the four different types and now the regular Empire type variant gets bonuses to supply speed as well as a 20 survey speed bonus whilst also being able to find anomalies five percent faster it's nothing really to write home about but it's all about Exploration with these guys however megacorp has privatized exploration and which gives you additional star-based buildings uh at least on their building speed increase module speed upgrade speed and finally you get access to tier 2 Star bases from the start of the game arguably uh this is also one of the weaker versions oh and by the way they also get a 25 resource Boost from space mites which is pretty darn nice anything involving a 25 boost is rather good Hive Minds get star gazes and they basically they get a special trait called Stargazer which not only increases habitability it also increases growth for uh from immigration as well as reduce resettlement costs essentially they get the Adaptive and nomadic traits for three but better so they get a three points worth of trade points for free basically through Stargazer it's crazy good how how insanely good this particular trade is on top of that they can also scout more efficiently using their increased sensor range of plus one they can instantly see basically everything that is nearby which is crazy if you think of it they can also see enemies coming from further uh with their increased hyperlane detection and finally they get a star based reduction influence cost of 20 which is massive and that one right there is going to cause some problems down the line finally exploration protocols for robots gives you faster Insight processes found Primitives additional Unity from first Contact situations approved versus contact speed and monthly Unity from outposts now on its own this is a very nice mix of abilities for multiple species types and it's effectively An Origin in sheep clothing the only reason why it's not an origin however is because the devs wanted it to synergize with other starting options so here's the question what sort of fun combos can we get here well if you like pain and if you like role play try eager explorers and Doomsday be a bunch of Primitives that have to escape their doomed home world and there is no guaranteed nearby worlds you've got a different type of FTL so you're going to struggle a bit I also have reduced pops which is problematic uh yeah some great great role play there being forced off with your doom Planet as primitive sounds like a lot of fun if you want a bit of a challenge though try eager explorers with remnants start off on a ruined a ruin of a world and uh basically somebody's come before you all you have to do is uh try to figure out what the hell is going on you started off an archaeotech building uh which by the way is going to instantly nuke your economy so you probably want to disable that and you're going to struggle have fun with that one um would you like to spam the Galaxy with go or border Gore yeah stargazers and slingshot to the stars have you covered because of the inherent bonuses of both types of options uh all systems will have a reduction of cost of 95 which means that you can sing yourself across the Galaxy get extremely strategic systems for extremely cheap basically you could slingshot yourself to the other side of the Galaxy and get any system for say 120 influence or something along the size uh mix it up with exploration have fun with that one finally a reason to go for slingshot against the Stars oh towards the Stars even uh you are going to be Borgore personified in this particular case good fun stuff um who would like to eat some ice cream try exploration protocols and Rogue observators for maximum amount of unity and Pops from primitive worlds would you like maximum traits uh stargazers and overtuned you already get those three points for free so why not take some more going over tuned corporate Warfare clones with privatized exploration for crazy defense whilst being able to attack like crazy Mad Men as well because you are clones these are just a few examples or things that you can do and like I said this is probably one of the best parts of the first Contact expansion I just want more stuff like this it's just so so good so here's the final question that I have this one's for you though what is your favorite eager exploration combination is there something that is completely broken is there something that is just a lot of fun or is there something you just want to role play with let me know in the comments Below in the meantime though would you like to know more about fear of the dark what are the origins of the first Contact expansion I'll check out this video that's in front of you right now and I would very much appreciate it if you go and do that because it does help the channel and praise the algorithm until next time thank you to my patrons for making this video possible take good care of yourself and as always keep exploring eagerly
