Be all that you can be in the Clone Army.

Did anyone take the other option not to become fertile? If you did, did it allow for a larger pop per cloning facility? It seems stupid that you can make yourself Uberhumans and not also figure out a way to have each cloning facility support more pops.

I get the feeling that the Ancient that designed the ancient clone vats were their culture's equivalent to Steve Jobs.
You just can't make them compatible with any sensible contemporary technology.

But no, 5 vats, 20 pops each is your limit. If you can find ways to integrate other species, it seems like a great origin nonetheless.

Pretty much xD You can build robots on planets where you've hit the clone limit as well btw.

How? You can only assemble pops or robots. If you remove the clone vats your people die.

Say, a planet with 2 vats will assemble clones up until 40 pops, then remain stagnant. The assembly slot will still be used, but the produced 41st pop will decline unless resettled. You don't need to continually assemble to remain at maximum.
Edit: turns out this is wrong - assembly stops altogether at maximum.
If a robot manufacturing facility is then built, the assembly slot will use robots instead of clones. Always? Sometimes? I haven't tried, hopefully it overrides the clone assembly.

It does.

I still would take fertility option since you get the building slots back along with 1k alloys.

By building a robot building factory. It takes over once you can't make any more clones.

just rule the galaxy with 100 pops, not that hard with there bonuses.

[RawCode]

clones are strong.

also you can play with resettlement to keep maximum growth longer.

You get a ridiculously powerful bonus for your pops if you choose to make uber clones, but no the 20 pops per clone vat and a maximum of 5 clone vats (aka 100 max pops of your main clone species) stays the same.

But it's easy enough to get around using either a secondary species or robots.

or just play tall

wish you could send your leaders or fleets as mercenaries in this game

imagine the clone army remnant of a great empire reduced to sellswords as a small but fortified nation
