Help Identifying Something

I recently ran into something at an archaeological dig site recently that revealed some AI that predicted people's behavior with 75% accuracy or something and was wondering if anyone could find all the possible outcomes as I have googled and not found any reports of this encounter.

sound like you found the Oracle unique governor dig site.
is the site your digging a old crashed space station, with religious initial theme going on?

[AgentJ]

Yes! Thank you so much. Still can't find anything about some of the dialogues but shows what the other options would have done.

Have that done and honestly you are better of scrapping it. Just saying.

[AgentJ]

I took the Administrative Capacity, probably scrapping it was the better option though, oh well.

the governer is really nice to get, i had him a few times his stats are the following.
planet wide buffs +10 stability / -45% crime
job changes +20% unity / -10% Research from Jobs
and like i said he is imortal and starts at level 5.

personally he is a really good buff to core worlds, that dont include a to many research/relic worlds used for research buffs. but then again personally i dont try to change relic worlds into ecumenopolis if i can delay it for like 40 years tops. the flat 30% research buffs from relic worlds really kick in later.

but just his stablity and unity gain makes him a economic powerhouse, which generally reduces hus -10% research to a -7% if you get the full +10 stablity effect.
in a similar fashion his unity gets up to a 6% extra buff due stability.

most of the times, the unity hit you take from not getting him working, is bigger then your sprawl if you don't go overboard.
the modern style if going tall is trying to stay within 15% of your current admin cap, which means if your core worlds get 100 stablity, your looking at a 30% flat bonus to everything.
i recon he lets you go super tall to like 30% sprawl if you have a good core world cluster.
while still creaming grand admiral ai in tech.

i have fought 2 wars over that site just to get him, and those wars where with someone i was rather friendly with(+200 rep) until i spotted them finding that site.

Your best choice for him is the admin cap bonus. Scrapping him gives you some resources immediately, but the long-term benefit from the admin cap bonus outweighs it.

As for the governor - generally, your home planet is at a fairly high stability anyway. You'll probably not need the bonuses it gives you, although if your home planet isn't a research hub, the negatives can be safely ignored.

I would recommend that if you consider this to be an important part of playing "tall", you spend some more time analysing the costs of going over your admin cap. You'll find that these costs are far outweighed by the benefits you gain.

Well i went rather wide and otherwise strong so yeah in a sense you could say that Oracle was useless to me.

Admin cap bonus is never useless, so I'm not sure why you'd think that the Oracle was useless.

when i had the governor i put him in charge of my new conquests, made it a little easier to fix those worlds up

[SilentDeath777]

The thing is i made a strong society with strong value of merits and all that where i never have to worry about unrest whatsoever unless these are heretic idealists with scewed view of selfsustainability which is what my meritocracy is all about,just to keep everything working but gues what, some xenolovers don't work enough aparently in their build up paradise that they turned too generous towards xenos even more so than towards their own kind.
