Sedenteron Dormancy has been created. I find it interesting that you created their race with 5 negative traits. I don't know how it will work once it gets to the point, but if they genetically engineer themselves, they will have 8 Trait Points to invest plus what they get from technology and other sources.

8 trait points but all trait slots filled, they need to remove some to gain any positives, with a concomitant loss of points to work with.

Thanks. I found it. Though it doesn't help that the Library folder is hidden. But I had already known to use Go To to find it to mod other games.

Also "dickbirbs" have been imported.

I'm just reminding everyone that voting on the empire we play is officially opening tomorrow. Many of you have taken the initiative to already post your votes here, but I will start a Straw Poll with the submissions there. I am doing it this way for a couple reasons: so it is easier for me to count and so that changing votes to any new submissions won't be complicated. Since voting hasn't started yet, I am still accepting new submissions, and the deadline is by the time I post the Straw Poll link.

# ? Jun 29, 2017 20:05

ShichiNoBushi: Sep 16, 2010

Empire submission is now closed, and we will now be officially voting on which one we will be playing. All the rest of the entries will be forced to spawn in the galaxy. Entries are as follows.

The Goonish Guard

Wessari Interstellar Nation

Big Butterfly Quantimity

The People

Sedenteron Dormancy

Sparven Star Authority

Outer Heaven

I have created a Straw Poll to vote on which empire to play. https://strawpoll.com/cbaw8s6

I have scheduled a recording session with CirclMastr and Tog tomorrow, and we will decide the results then. The three of us will decide the winner among any ties. And given recording and editing go well, videos for the proper LP should be available some time next week.

For a while it was the Sedenteron Dormancy with their 5 negative Racial Traits. I was a little worried for a moment but figured it could have been interesting.

At long last, the LP has properly started. Voting on empires is closed, and the winner was The Goonish Guard. So we will collectively be playing as hive-minded deviant mushroom Goons. (Mushgoons?)

LP Stellaris 1-1

And as I mentioned before, the audience is invited to provide names for any namable thing in the game: planets, stars and systems, leaders, ships, ship classes, etc. So if you want to offer your name or suggest one, please say so as well as what specifically what type of item you want named perhaps with some criteria such as what class of planet or what type of leader. You may also mention whether you want it added to a general pool of names or claim any specific object or person which will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. Celestial bodies (stars, planets, moons, asteroids) can only be renamed if they are within our borders.

We can't receive migrants as a hivemind. Anything not-us dies out, usually shaking its clenched manipulatory appendage as it decries that 'Goons ruin everything'. (Technically it gets deported, but we can change that to 'gets eaten'.)

There is a late-game option where we can grant hiveminded status to other species, essentially covering their :10bux:

and enabling them to remain part of us.

I'm not sure if "livestock slavery" is available for us once we somehow get another race in our empire, but I believe "processing purge" is which means they will be converted into food. And since excess food does convert into additional growth rate, some empires might RP this as the other species being assimilated. In a later update to the game, there will be an option to turn other species into hive-minded ones to join the collective consciousness, and currently this can be done with sufficiently advanced biotechnology to genetically modify them.
