I dont know why everyone is so annoyed by them, its not like your science ships have much to do after exploring most of the galaxy and searching through all the archeologic sites. Besides the first one, none of these events are time urgent, so you can do them whenever you want. I always find them funny and their always a highlight in my playthroughs, so i help them out no matter my ethics. Although one time i accidently killed them off, when i noticed that their new planet was in the system that i planned to build my Hyperstructural Assembly Yard (from the gigastructural engineering mod) and thus wiped out every planet in the system to make space for the structure ^^ Not that they would have lived much longer anyway, because that playthrough was also the first one where i encountered the blockkats and boy i wasnt ready for them, so yeah that system got harvested by them along with my structure...
Yeah I found them hilarious tbh. Though... I used to encounter them in 1 out of 2 playthroughs. My first, second, fourth, fifth, and seventh playthroughs had them. Though at somepoint I just, defer that anomaly until later lol. As more often my science ships are too busy to do their quest until later.
myself. playing as a cheerfully friendly genocidal hivemind, I tend to always help those in need and foster new social relations! Studying other lifeforms is facinating.
meanwhile with endless space 2, we don't have the technological understanding to colonize that planet type yet. some ecologist party who runs the agenda of, hardship ready. we colonize it, and walk. very carefully doing so.
This is one of the best event chains in stellaris. Very fun the first time. But it’s also the one I ignore literally every single subsequent playthrough. Like, sir, I am trying to genocide the galaxy, I don’t have time for your Mr Bean shenanigans.
You know Paradox should have to improve the game performance if they dont want us to be genociding or finding ways of genociding people in their others games
If they ever make a "jovians" species pack (hypothetical species indigenous to gas giants) that would be a great opportunity to elaborate further on their story, maybe turning them into pre-ftls or being able to uplift them into a vassal state with ethics depending on what path you take in their story. Perhaps it could be useful if there are systems with gas giants but no habitable terrestrial planets! I brainstormed heaps of ideas for a species pack like that, including one that made it into the game in Cosmic Storms (an origin or civic similar to Storm Chasers) and different species portraits inspired by aerial objects (parachutes, paragliders, hot air balloons etc.)
I'm convinced that Chabky was a revolutionary agent that the rebellion sent over to set things up on the original colony if you had sent over rebellious troops.
Personally, I'd would've liked to have the option to research and develop sealed gas-suits for the Dathnak to pilot and wear to interact with the Solid galaxy. That way you could not only get some new pops to work for you, but also have a way to feasibly colonize Gas Giants to improve their usability and extract some more resources. Furthermore, just imagine the intelligence and spycraft applications of having gaseous agents serving your empire! I'd imagine having Dathnak operatives would make collecting intel on other empires, especially the Pre-FTL ones, quite easy.
Art department would probably be salivating if they did a gaseous species pack, Just imagining something like a squid with air bladders to let it swim in the air would be sweet
@@ecogreen123 yeah and they have almost no habitability on normal worlds but on gas giants they are like normal planets. Only problem is that gas giants are so plentiful that im not sure how to nerf that
@@storm___ i think it would be a decent tradeoff, technically less worlds for bigger worlds, it would make sense as an exchange but i think it would be difficult to adapt lots of systems and/or balance them.
Perhaps the first tenet of the genocidal spiritualists' belief was "Don't overstay your welcome" and the Dathnak of course just couldn't live with that.
I absolutely love the implication that the Dathnak were just that obnoxious as a first contact scenario that the Spiritualists went "aliens? Nope, can't be having that" and turned genocide into their whole personality
It’s moral to help people survive. While troublesome as they turned out to be it would be wiser to negotiate exchanges with the people. It would have been better not to get involved in the war and honestly best if you could assign a diplomat with a small fleet to deal with the species in future transactions
The absolute most annoying group of people I’ve ever witnessed. Eventually I gave up on trying to help them and just left them to their fate (which was death) I eventually understood why the last group of aliens attacked them
I like the little gas people. I didn’t even know you aid the original colony as I’ve only gotten this event when I had the Shared Burden perk going. So I had to aid the Revolution. Kinda wish you can annex the planets and get two or one custom gas worlds with their own pops and special buildings.

As a xenophile, I'd love to encounter them and lend a helping hand in our burgeoning relationship from time to time. Just not sure whether to support the government or revolutionaries.
What would be hilarious is if they added a communication to this event chain every time they had a new DLC. I still help the Dathnaks just about every playthrough, even when I play as a genocidal empire.
I didn't mind them much, was already loaded with resources by the time I was contacted by them and already had three vassals... so they were a welcome and amusing distraction.
You should help them a little, they will eventually ask you to spread them to another planet which is one of the rare ways to get any use out of a gas giant. Once they've spread you can then ignore them from then on
Yes. I got those guys with every playthrough I ever had. Usually you might get a couple thousands of minerals and a bunch of physics research from them on two separate occasions, but only before the civil war parts happen.
They are almost certainly based on the Dwellers from The Algebraist by Iain M Banks. A bunch of ancient gas giant dwelling aliens who seem goofy and ridiculous to outsiders, the twist in the book is that they are in fact hyper advanced and can delete any genuine threat with ease.
I always say, "it was a sensor malfunction. Ignore it." I can't be bothered to save these idiots who take up time and resources, while giving nothing in return.
Nothing good comes of gas giant dwellers. Another example: the Slylandro from Star Control 2 who unwittingly reprogram a first contact probe into a von Neumann machine swarm that nearly wipes out the galaxy.
I don't think saving them was the wrong decision is annoying as they are they didn't deserve to die. Helping them beyond that however I do understand being unnecessary
The Code always executes beneficial actions against Anomaly Race 01. Their ethical subroutines do not initiate hostility targeted at Us. Our own emotional subroutines experience anomalies that organics describe as pleasant. Friendship dividends are not required; We are The Code. Such dividends are vastly disproportional to standard operating conditions.
I'm glad and not surprised that everyone else finds these aliens annoying, I wondered if even a xenophile person would help these guys out. After the 3rd request, im done. They can fend for themselves. Its cool to see that they come with an artifact now, tho.
I just avoid these people to the best of my ability if I accidentally do press the research anomaly option I just leave them to die I can not stress how much I despise this event chain I’d rather deal with the grey tempest then deal with this event chain

I usually do it up to the revolution and then ignore both sides. They can glare angrily at each other from their respective worlds for all I care.
I was never annoyed by these folk, I was always amused by their antics, and the extra research their worlds gave me was a welcome, if small, bonus.
As usual, it seems fanatical purification is the one best strategy long-term.
Or being a regular fanatic militarist and xenophobe doing it for shits and giggles… I like to do a little trolling
You know Paradox should have to improve the game performance if they dont want us to be genociding or finding ways of genociding people in their others games
TIL Stellaris is Dark Enlightenment propaganda.
I disagree. Being evil destroys yourself in the end. Only in simple simulations would it appear beneficial
I wish we had a better way of using these creatures, including stuffing them into proxy bodies to turn into pops.
Like that guy from Star Trek Prodigy.

Um excuse me, we the Baldarak Protectors, the most pleasantly named species in all the galaxy are very glad we helped our gaseous friends!
Idea of gas-based civilization completely spoiled by them being annoying farts. Makes me avoid all anomalies on gas giants.
But then you miss out on Bubbles!
@@Krishnath.Dragon The greatest crime of all. No annoyance is too great to ignore the likelihood of bubbles.
I'd just let them be mad at each other since they've established that they have no means to travel between planets lol
Are they the so called "hunters" that the prethoryn scourge fears?
Ha it would be fitting if they were... just got so fed up with them they fled
Copium for running from whiners checks out.
So what happens if you try to ignite the gas giant without investigating the anomaly? (Using the gigastructure).
…. Asking for a friend
@@Crowbars357 you can't, the anomaly blocks the mega.

The Dathnack are the shopping cart test of Stellaris
Used to get them all the time back in the day, now its been as if they never existed as a anomaly. 😕
Same here for a long time, but then got them recently.
I get the anomaly roughly every second to third playthrough. I usually just ignore it.
Ran into these way early in the game's lifecycle
Never stoped running into them
To me it feels like I run into them every other game, so I just ignore the first event whenever I can
