Keep him surveying. He's level 2, a number of events require level 5 scientists, -10% anomaly research speed is who cares.

Are there any techs that a paranoid scientist would help unlock?

Nope.

All right, who in our Xenorelations department translated the fox-resembling people species name as 'Kitsu'?

Given what we know about them, it's entirely possible they renamed themselves after the word for "fox" they heard in our Classical Animes.

It is a great mod, but the number of amazing finds that show up on random uninhabitable rocks is kinda killing it for me.

I think I speak for all right-minded peoples in this Assembly that the course is clear. We Must Harness the power of these Arachnids. For the good of mankind, of course.

Really makes me wish the game had some kind of "penal colony" system. Might not be that hard to mod though.

What kind of investment would Spider World even need, anyhow?

Besides whatever a normal colony would need, there are some very special tile blockers to clear and the moral hurdle of sending imaginary video game people to a spider-infested hellhole.

Also I missed this before:

double nine posted:

Are you saying that the modifiers show up too much or that they show up on places that are unreachable? Or both?

The latter. You'll find cool stuff on asteroids and molten worlds and busted ringworld sections. So you get this pop-up like "Wow, check out this awesome discovery we can interact with!" and it's on some frozen world I will never colonize and provides 0 benefit. This happens a lot, seemingly, because the chance for these rare modifiers isn't restricted to rolling on habitable worlds.

It is a little weird that "pay us some money every month" is equal in value as a victory condition to "cede every one of your planets."

I don't know if they have to, but in this case they roughly do.

eta: Actually I'm bad at math, their demands are worth like 9 points more. :v:
