I can imagine your Megacorp becoming like Buy N Large, world encompassing, over consumption and ultimately becoming like a fallen empire, isolationist and completely in control of your people. Great Video.
You are one of the few fun to listen to stellaris playthrough TH-camrs I have found. Keep up the great work! You are fun listen and a great player. You are amazing!
@@SaintofSol >no rights for robots Good. Keep those mother-effing toasters in check. I mean, who ever heard of a machine with a soul, amirite? XD No Bladerunner or Skynet shite in here, no sirre.

@@SaintofSolPlease for goodness sake play Giga structures engineering mod or ACOT please I want to see how you play through the game with lunar assembly plant megastructures
@SaintofSol Idk if you didn't notice or I misunderstood, but inquisitor 2 also has +1 research option even if the +2% research speed is kinda shit. But at least you have an extra chance to roll a tech option.
I’ve been looking for another Stellaris content creator that’s actually fun to listen to, and you are definitely one of them! Great video you’ve got yourself another loyal subscriber :)
I like how when you made your first attack, losing like half your military, you were calm and composed, but then later at 4:40:00 went on a whole tangent about losing one Titan also, on this note, I'd like to say, I absolutely love the cybernetic ship appearance, but the Titan looks really bad, it really fails to give that sense of grandeur and size that the other ship sets do, and it's just way too vertical, at least in my opinion
The Algorithm recommended this to me and I am so glad it did, not many people do longform content like this on Stellaris and your voice sounds normal (not the strange drawing out pronounciation and sounding surprised all the time) Keep up the good work, we'll be watching your career with great interest!
I’ve been craving to watch Stellaris videos like this since I don’t have a PC and the console version is terribly behind. So glad your channel showed up in my recommended feed
I loved the idea behind your Cyberpunk empire and I will have to give this build a run. Recently I made a human empire with the Slingshot to the Stars origin, sort of a Mass Effect feel was my goal. Set a 10x contingency crisis for some rp. Wish they would add a Nomad fleet origin, then I could role-play as a Quarian empire properly instead of using Void Dwellers origin.
Was looking forward to your new play through and wasn’t disappointed lol 😂 fyi you can only make 3x arc furnaces and 3x Dyson swarms and yes it’ll up the science on those stars but if/ when you upgrade to a Dyson sphere it’ll go to the normal energy output For all the pops not changing to cybernetic you picked only the specialists
I think Paradox buffed up the mid game crisis’s so they’ll match what you have the end game crisis so if you have it at 3x the mid game will be 3x stronger
I was allowed to build more after a while, maybe it was after mega engineering? I remember that I had 3 Dyson swarms already and was allowed to build like 2 more eventually. Then we got even more from the reclaimers ofc
Also, it is Admiral, not General. Generals are for something they claim exists called the so-called "Army" and the Air Farce or better known as IBM with guns. Admirals are God's chosen leaders who lead the glorious Navy. :>
"If I had to do a top ten favorite things from this update the auto modding would defiantly be up there" I got a mod (my ONLY mod) for Xeno-Compatability disabling the random half-breed generator and it just gives 1 point and pick so with cyborg and overturned I can get THREE automodding traits on everyone plus the base +15% from being a cyborg.
Mechanical Multinational understands your concerns citizen, friendly foreign relations are purely for economic and strategic reasons. No foreign national can become a full citizen or leader within Mechanical Multinational space.
I did my own cyberpunk humanity playthrough, and I find it amazing how both similar and different yours is to mine. We both: Went with Megacorp with the Augmentation Bazaar civic Had galaxies with dominantly Materialist ethos Used brown and light green/light yellow as the colors for our emblems Used a corporate styled logo Used the Fanatic Materialist ethic We spawned in the same region of the galaxy. (My Sol system would probably be like 2-4 hyperlane jumps from where yours spawned. Not far at all.) We differ in: Synthetic life is given full rights in my playthrough I have no intention of vassalizing anyone I used a secondary Authoritarian ethic as opposed to a Xenophobe ethic. (Corporate prefers to keep the wagies in line, and is willing to break a few kneecaps to keep their assets protected, and xenos/synthetics are just opportunities for profit) I used baseline humans instead of re-working the traits for optimization My leader is a scientist who got the Chronofuge trait, so instead of fighting the Synthetic Queen, I'm apparently in the process of making one. My current CEO is a cybernetic woman with ambitions that stretch into all of time. Overall, very interesting. Your style of playing Stellaris is very similar to mine. Taking an empire idea and playing it out with a specific theme and goals in mind. I noticed you did a Cult of the Whisperers run, and I recently did a Cult of the Composer run, but I'm likely to do a Whisperers Patron run in the future, and that one will be a good video to play in the background while I run mine. Solid content.
Thanks for tuning in and sharing, the fact that our runs were so similar and you even did a cult of a shroud creature like I did is very cool. Great minds think alike!
@@SaintofSol I'm glad you found what I shared interesting! I won't tie you up too much, but if you're curious about how the Cult of the Composer run played out, I'll give a brief overview. In short, the cult's views are that all species are the same. Flesh is flesh, it doesn't matter what form it takes. They are all just meat bound together by tiny, intricate strands. With Catalytic Processing, flesh can even be made to resemble metal, and thus even technology and synthetic life are also just meat and strands. The cult's current ambitions are to turn every habitable planet in the galaxy into Gaia worlds, and to assimilate all living beings into their society. Wars of ideology mostly, but against the entire galactic community. If you ever decide to do a Cult of the Composer run yourself, maybe this can give you some ideas. Regardless, I wish you luck in your Stellaris exploits.
I may do a cult of the composer run actually, it sounds like a fun thing to do, I’ve added it to my list of video ideas, and I’ll credit you if I do. But I have a feeling my cult of the composer will be a lot less… benevolent ;)
First time coming across your channel. There is some really awesome content here. One small suggestion/critique... you use the crutch word "interesting" a bit more than you may think.
Decent video, though uh one thing that makes it unbearable to watch later on, the game sound is louder than you are, to the point where in order to hear you I have to have it up to the point that the ingame sounds hurt my ears.
Yea it is an unfortunate consequence of me adjusting the audio so you could hear cetana, she’s very quiet. But now I know that and how to fix it so it won’t happen in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
Two things. In your to be created "best of" video please include "and I am completely decisive." And add your battleship montage of going back and forth for like (what felt like) forever. This, no that, no this, no that, no this, perhaps that, wait, let me check, ok that. No this. (me) Press fast forward ... press fast forward again (dude). And second, you are running around the galaxy enslaving innocent people. Too bad you won the game!
I'll be sure to keep that in mind for the montage lol, also we at Mechanical Multinational don't prefer the term enslaved, while employment contracts provided to foreign nationals may be less lucrative and relocation may be mandatory, they are still free to not work (and starve).
I can imagine your Megacorp becoming like Buy N Large, world encompassing, over consumption and ultimately becoming like a fallen empire, isolationist and completely in control of your people. Great Video.

Love your content.
Wow thank you very much for the tip! This is just the beginning of my content, stay tuned for more :)
I think ‘cyberpunk utopia’ is a self-conflicting statement.
Finding this small channel with quality videos is brilliant.
In the words of Palpatine, we will watch your career with great interest..
Love watching yor videos while playing myself, always entertaining

this is my new favourite stellaris channel
I love to watch full stellaris vids ❤ you have earned yourself a new sub
Amazing Stellaris content! I just recently got back into the game myself but still have so much to learn. Look forward to more of your content!
Stay tuned!
700 subscribers? its been two weeks and youve already broke 1k. Tbh i never checked until you said 700, didnt realize I had subbed so early
Thanks for the early support man
The implications behind every spacefaring species being both fanatically materialist and xenophobic are… disconcerting
No Gods or Kings. Only Sapients.
Also, Never Trust The Alien.
Funny fact, Cetana sounds like Satan. It seems good, but in fact wants to destroy. Like, in Rolling Stones. " What's the nature of my name?".

I love stellaris full playthroughs so so much....
Well boy do I have the TH-cam channel for you!
@SaintofSol jokes on you I already subbed halfway into the vid
You sure got me ;)
Nice vid!
PS.
you can use your excess unity to ascend your planets for more resources and less empire size
Im going to cop this for my next playthrough.

Glad you enjoyed it! Also, I somehow increased that limit past 3 at some point in the run, although I’m not sure how lol
@@SaintofSolI think if you find them like you did at the start you can still have your 3 on top
I think Paradox buffed up the mid game crisis’s so they’ll match what you have the end game crisis so if you have it at 3x the mid game will be 3x stronger
I was allowed to build more after a while, maybe it was after mega engineering? I remember that I had 3 Dyson swarms already and was allowed to build like 2 more eventually. Then we got even more from the reclaimers ofc
@@SaintofSoloooooo interesting lol such a shame the Khan always splinters would be better if they had the option not too
I wouldn't call a cyberpunk empire where you can end up with your heart exploding due to no oversight on the mandatory cybernetics an utopia. 😅
Okay mister high standards ;)
Also, it is Admiral, not General. Generals are for something they claim exists called the so-called "Army" and the Air Farce or better known as IBM with guns. Admirals are God's chosen leaders who lead the glorious Navy. :>

what does xenophobe have to do with AI rights?
Xenophobia is being predicts towards others, AI/synthetics are those others in this scenario
