Someone is always fighting a war somewhere

+5 society tech and +5 unity doesn't seem quite enough.

For strength through acquisition and integration, would expect to get some set tech options/progress too, proportional to how much of their empire was assimilated.

I've tried stacking as many modifiers as possible and having as many tech worlds as my economy can take without collapsing but even when I try to prioritize research disregarding everything but that and unity I don't get that much done.

I want to get into the thousands tbh, I think the main clear bottlenecks are pops for me, does anyone have any build I could try maybe? some sort of strategy?

Just bought the game a few days ago, worked through a few starts, learning as I go and today I finally started a new play through with the limited knowledge I've gained. Playing as the United Humans, I've been surveying and building starbases, expanding my fledgling domain and I found a planet that was habitable. Unfortunately it was a holy site for some venus flytrap looking beings, and I ignored their objections to colonizing the planet. Turns out they are what is called the Fallen Empire and their technology, fleet, and armies dwarf mine. I have 2 fleets of 20 ships, they have a titan, and some other things. And they are mad at me. So far they haven't attacked, but I'm assuming they will. Am I cooked? Should I just restart a new game, or continue until they decimate my tiny empire? Thank you.

What is your best strategy when it comes to ship design and war?

Trying to lose as few ships and win battles, ect.

I can't seem to find an actual date on the various sites and blogs, and I really need that slider that reduces the ridiculous number of deposits.

I want to make a xenophobe empire who sees the synths they create as their children or brothers. Equal either way. But apparently they can't be made full citizens? I understand there were mods for this but they are now outdated. How difficult would it be for me to make a mod for this? Ideally, they also don't get a happiness malus from sharing a planet with bots.

I want to make synths in humanity's image, embrace them as brothers, and both look out on the galaxy and find it filled with filthy xenos.

Thanks!

The new feature is good n' all in concept, but how in the world do you just stop AIs into mindlessly piling into the mosh pit like it's WW1.

Now if I want to plan attack my rivals I have to worry about my friendly neighbor attacking be cause the rivals bankrolled them into attacking me.

I went nomad devouring swarm with adaptive predators thinking to would be fun to do a tyrannid type run. It didn't play out any way like I thought it would.

You don't get any extra situation bonus for eating all the tasty xenos as nomads because your vassals does all the purging.....
