Late game Unity

[TextualArc]

So I picked the game up again after a decently long hiatus, got to endgame with your typical tall psyonic build, mega structures, lag, absurd production you get the idea.
however I'm finding that my absurd output of unity is just useless now. Only seem to be able to use it for passive drain into edicts over cap and leader upkeep. I'm going at ~2k monthly after upkeep, and finding no modern equivalent for the unity dumps of ascension edicts from previous patches.
so, for you who's kept up with the patches, what do with hueg unity stockpile? is unity pointless in lategame now?

Not really, the ascension edicts are still in game and they are still a good way to dump excess unity.

I’m not sure if it’s something DLC related or if it’s in the base game but individual planets also have an ascension mechanics that gives out bonuses and requires you to pay hefty fees in unity to unlock.

Alternatively you can download one of the many mod that add more traditions.

Yes, late game unity is pointless, it's only good for ascending your planets and that gets insanely expensive but the benefits are great.

Even with mods that add more perks etc if you know what you're doing you'll plow through those pretty fast but vanilla by end game you'll be hard pressed to find unity useful for anything other than planetary ascension.

You can just replace unity buildings late game if need be. If you have too much after dumping into perks and edicts. And you worlds are ascended.

planetary ascension sounds promising, seen civics and asencion perk which mention it but havent taken any of them yet so I havent seen what it offers, Ill look into it.

You don't need to take them.
Just select your highest populated planets, like an ecumenopolis, and ascend it.
