Consecrated Worlds

[Hurkaleez]

So, I figured out I need to use a Decision on an uninhabited planet, but which are the best planets to consecrate?

Internet has like no answers to this I can find. Wiki useless.

Last time I checked:

• Gaia worlds (especially spiritualist FE's holy worlds for opinion bonus) are the best
  
• Normal worlds are ok i guess if you're really desperate for a much needed boost/there's no gaia worlds nearby
  
• Tomb worlds are a big no no

EDIT: You can terraform an uninhabited planet into a gaia world before consecrating it (dont know why anyone would do that since its a waste of time & energy)

That is exactly what I wanted to know, thanks man.

I'm playing tall, and have no gaia worlds in my borders or even near me. I assume you can only do it if the world is within your borders? So I will just pick any small world I can find in my controlled space as I might as well waste a fairly useless world rather than some large one.

that is indeed the best course of action since it does not take into account the size and modifiers of a planet you're consecrating

kinda off-topic here but why would you waste an AP on consecrated worlds? unless it's for RP reasons i dont see it as a viable option when compared with technological ascendancy

Technically, you can consecrate almost anything, not that asteroid is likely to get a "holy world" modifier, but still...

Kinda removes the need for amenities: whatever rulers provide tends to be enough (especially if charismatic). Tech. ascendancy, however, is pointless: it gives research boost - something you can get from a number of other sources, so hardly unique enough to justify (not that consecration fares better in that regard).

I made a Tomb World into my Resort World.

Why no Tombworlds?

Watch and tremble! For I bring the purity of oblivion to your world!

They're absolutely garbage when considering options for consecration, which is the topic at hand.

I know, though they should have a use too for something like that.
Maybe if you're using the tomb world start with spiritualist + militarist?
