I need an option to make wormholes holy

[Jakethesnake12124]

This is essential, and I cannot understand how the company who made this game could possibly not make it an option when the achievement for the wormholes is literally called emissary.

Not a bad idea if your species worships Yog-Sothoth, or is just discount Bajorans.

The thought never crossed my mind, but considering all things, I'd also like to declare black holes holy, especially if you embraced the worm. Someone needs to make a mod for this.

There already is a mod for this. It adds a civic for Spiritualists called "Nihilistic Cult" which lets you worship Black Holes instead of planets if you take the Holy Worlds Perk. The mod's name has slipped my mind though.

A demonic worship of black holes would be awesome, but mostly wormholes.

I think I have that mod because I'm definitely having the option to pick that civic, however I avoided it because I prefer not to play with robots and it seemed to me the civic is a light version of machine cult *shrugs :D

Its not. I specifically requested that civic for my Fanatic Purifiers that I've had since I started playing. They evolved on a Tomb World orbiting a Black Hole and came to worship the black hole as Death incarnate. They do the same for other black holes. They view robots as a sort of "undead" and synths/synth ascension as "holy undead." Their religion tells them they are meant to be the to entire space-faring civilizations what the Grim Reaper is to individuals, hence the Fanatic Purifier civic.

Basically, imagine the Necrons from 40k if they were religious and evolved around a black hole instead of a dying star. Then sprinkle in some Death Cult flavor with a literal worship of death and synthetic life as a kind of undead existence that is "holy" simply because you are no longer flesh and bone.

In terms of mechanics, it gives you the black hole worship, your pops use fewer amenities (I think that is still there) and priests produce physics research instead of society.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation, I will try it out. Any recommendations for an empire using this exceptt purifiers?

My hole is holy.

the mod you are talking about is Civics Expanded+ (link below) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2044053450

if you want a fun team build around this my empire is listed below, just paste this in C:\Users\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris - user_empire_designs.txt

The empire is base around getting galactic gateways unlocks as fast as possible.

i have got a few other mods added that change planet type and background art so when you load it you will need to change this but otherwise it should work.

if you also include Planetary Diversity mod you can also start with a rogue world and a black-hole in your starting system.

I also use it for Cthulhu cults, because those are generally nihilistic. Basically any religious empire that has a Lovecraftian bent is usually good to use RP wise. In terms of meta-gaming, you'll want to combo it with a Charismatic species that are Natural Physicists and their empire is Fanatic Spiritualists. With this build you will likely never have to worry about amenities so long as you build temples on every planet, your physics research will fly, and your unity will be respectable with little effort or resources devoted to it.
