This was the best mod I played. So good paired with Gigastructures as Idk if I'd have been able to beat em w/o the Systemcraft as they destroyed my moons I had left over. Multiple systemcraft is a must. Well done this was the most difficult challenge even more so than the Blokkats. Thank you so much for this awesome mod.
This is the best mod that I played for Stellaris. If its not updated, I just wait until it does, since I can't play vanilla anymore. There's one thing I wish for it though. If it took itself a bit more seriously, lots of dead memes kinda ruin the atmosphere sometimes, I just wish ACOT would be a bit more serious. It was fun at first, but after some time, I kinda wish it had a more dark, gloom or scarier text flavour. Besides that, this mod is a must for me. The end game seems so bare without it its crazy.
If they are doing this for lore videos, note that AoT is *not* canon or lore accurate to ACOT. Nor does it have any lore of its own. it's just memes and more OP stuff to add on.
We constructed a gate to another dimension, a place we thought was the well of souls. We would touch the the face of god, and in doing so become gods ourselves. But we forgot a gate my swing both ways... We were so consumed with getting out, we never thought of what we may let in. They are a power beyond comprehension, a hunger beyond understanding, they are anti-life itself.
Hooray we have Ancient Cache of Technologies stories coming in. I assume the hyper powerful Ai character lady will be making her appearance very soon. It's time to show some forces who rival and surpass even the Gigastructural Engineering factions like the Aeternum and the Blokkats. Those are some giant gateways by the way.
I ran a game with acot and giga enabled the stekllaborne killed the aetermum and then the next game killed the blokkats because for some reason stellaborn are unkillable their ships have inf hp and dmg and wipe out everything. The only way i have ever killed anything of theirs even when fully reserached alpha stech and stellaborne was to open console and type kill on their fleets they even killed the corporation too
@@TAKIZAWAYAMASHITA No wonder they stomped you if you only had Alpha tech. You should have Stellarite by the time you face them or you have little hope of getting anywhere.
This story reminds me of the Dresdenverse by Jim Butcher. The Outer Gates are the boundary between this reality-- the material world and the spirit world -- and somewhere else, and for the whole series, the Outsiders have been fighting to get in.
I just wish there are some good ways of dealing with Gigastructurals absolutely horrifying amount of lag in the endgame The lags makes it very hard to play with every single game, but I absolutely do enjoy it
oh hell yeah!!! ACOT content. I was wondering, are you going to make a series of videos on ACOT lore like you did gigas? If so I'd heavily appreciate a video on the Phanon Corps, they seem so cool!!
I love the modded lore of Stellaris! Great to see you're covering stuff like this as well! The Lore of Zenith of Fallen empires (especially the great Crusade) is great aswell. Maybe you could cover it sometime in the future? I'd absolutely love it!
Hey. Glad to see some Chiru finally get some love for his mod. 😄 I am the Vel in question for the mod page, but all I really do is... Numbers & math. Most of the game code is Chiru.
Super hyped for part 2, was close to opening one my last play through but the scourge and the Katzin emperor broke the galaxy :( Full Combat build next time and ignoring all the gates until later…knowing my luck the blokkats will invade when I try this next time.
I think you should make a lore video about the "Synthetic Gods" origin from the DarkSpace mod. You could make it to where it's from the point of view of the human empire you use in some of your other lore videos, like how you did in your TX-130 lore video (really love that video super unique and cool)! You could also make a part two where it's the perspective of the synthetic gods, but it's instead it's about their rise and fall (similar to how you did your TX-130 video but with a different storyline)! But of course these are just ideas you can execute it however you want, that's if you do make a video about it.
@@guilhemraboud7808 They are but, they are more dangerous, and he has yet to talk about a crisis empire, and it would be very interesting to know more about the empire that he has been using to give us his videos, it would also be interesting to see how his empire and the other empires of his galaxy would handle a crisis of that magnitude.
I have played this mod and it is interesting and fun as long you get a load of systemcrafts from Gigastructures mod. The only trouble is when you win against the Stellarborne you get all their tech and it makes you disgustingly overpowered. You’ve basically beaten the game at that point and you’re in no danger.
My Determined Exterminator empire comprised of psionic powered robots with a fleet comprised of the entire dragon population of skyrim and several system sized ships: But there could be organics to exterminate.... ehhh worth it *Unleashes literal hell*

Well thank you very much. By the way, do you think stellaris should get it's own franchise because of the lore, like where they have their own movies and TV series? Just like the other franchises.
Hmm maybe it’s time for a reinstall, maybe it’s time for the robot Space Spiders to once again strike out and exterminate another huge galaxy… maybe if a federation doesn’t form in 30years and just death stack curb stomps
May I ask what kinds of ships and infrastructure does Ancient Cache of Technologies have that is different from Gigastructural Engineering? I am aware there are atleast some big ships and platforms and one structure that is almost like a Birch World but not quite such as what the Stellarborne possess in their arsenal that are almost the size of arkships. Though nothing quite up to the same scale of a Qaesarcraft visually from what I been able to see.
Nothing playable like Gigastructures, at least from what i've experienced. There are additional tech levels, this is what makes you stronger, they're essentially stat sticks. There arn't planetcraft etc. like in Giga
@@thorshammer7883 It becomes stronger with tiers, the delta one might be a bit worse since you don't get any unique Herculean components at that point, whereas the systemcraft already gets its existential erasure beams. But at Alpha and above (which is where the herculean is most likely to be built), you get the special herculean components (weapons) and also a W-slot that can delete empires. The ordinary Herc weapons although their base numbers are lower than the existential erasure beam, benefit from all three repeatables as they count as Energy, Kinetic and Explosive weapons. They also do extra damage with ship size like torpedoes. There's also a single Spectral Projection weapon that you can put in a single T-slot, which is much stronger. At Sigma you can put both the Sigma version and Alpha version on the same herculean, so it gets better. The only way Systemcraft keeps up with that, if you use another mod (ACOT Celestial Reactors) that gives them ACOT tier star reactors to power more erasure beams, but I think that is just unnecessary. Herculeans are still take longer to build and are more expensive upfront (although they can eventually repay that cost back through their resource production.), and require all the reimaginations first, so systemcraft which are much easier to build shouldn't be buffed to keep up with herculeans as they are already good with much less investment.

Naturally upon seeing something that says do not open, I open that is my style sir!
Great Video 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Unless you mid max, it's funny to let them out. Sometimes they can cook up some fun situations.

I dont think I've once run into these gates at all. I've seen much from the mods, but never the gateway.
It's from an add on mod to ACOT called secrets beyond the gates.
