The Flesk is Weak or Mind over matter ?

[Chocolayte]

I have only played humanoids for the past 300 hours, and which one should I choose, and what is the best perk for humanoids?

[IPWIW]

Flesk is Weak,synth evolution

it's all the same other than machine start

Flesh is Weak so you can upgrade to Synthetic Evolution, which yields the highest pop growth and output possible.

[tathen]

if you have good unique traits from events stay organic

Though if you go Synthetic Evolution and you Assimilate all bio pops into Synthetics, you won't have any bio pops growing anymore, making it by far the slowest pop growth possible (outside of Spiritualists with AI outlawed and no robot production)

Bio pops still grow from immigration, and get assimilated afterwards.

psionics is much more fun imo especially with the shroud and having the chance to trigger the end of the cycle

I prefer mind over matter. Less dangerous route then synth. And the benefits are more interesting.

I would give both a try OP. See if you like them or not. For Mind over Matter its worth to note it that you can still use robots if you pick that perk. Whereas you get no psi stuff when you pick Flesh is Weak.

Organic interspecies breeding xenophile empire obviously.

I hope you like lag

I mean, we did all buy Paradox games, what did we expect?

[Leoscar]

Robots ascencion is way better than the psionic ascencion. Psionic path has some good stuff but it's incredibly unreliable.

[Tacty]

In the latest versions of the game, Psionics has become much stronger than before + this way is much more interesting.
PS: You can try to find the nearest empire with cybernetics and send several people to visit them.

I don’t know. The shroud has some dangerous things lurking inside

Here's the difference between them:

Genetic Route: Special Slave Bonuses (including livestock +2 food base):
= Ideal for Xenophobes who micro manage.

Synthetic Route: Best Energy (50% more from base), Highest Growth (but alloy used up), best for materialists, and anyone who is all about their planets and making them higher populations.
= More preferred for non-militarists.

Psionics Path: Best leader bonuses, lots of non-investing bonuses (don't have to wait months for things to take effect).
= Best if doing an empire with many subordinates, or doing a lot of warfare.

>Psionics best for warfare

Yeah, it actually is. The evasion bonus you get along with other stacking bonuses is insane for fleets. There's also the psionic version of the combat computer which gives you insane buffs as well.
