Toxic God & Beastmaster

[Barath]

Does anybody know if the toxic-god-colossus, that can be aquired during the last quest of the toxic-god-origin, is considered to be space-fauna (gets buffed by the beastmaster-civic, beast-lord council, domestication-tradition, etc)?
It would only be a minor synergy, but still nice to know.

Same question ofc for other guardians, acquired through "Here be dragons"-origin, reanimators-civic, etc

i heard reanimated fauna is something different, but i can be wrong

So far as I've been able to deduce, with some help from others, is that the only requirement is for you to not personally construct artificial ships from your starbases or mega shipyards. Anything else is fair game - mercenary fleets, event ships, the Dimensional Fleet etc - but you cannot use alloys (or minerals or nanites for Nemesis and Nanite empires respectively) for artificial ships yourself.

Also using any artificial ships gained from integrating vassals should theoretically also be fine, as would the Toxic God or Cetana herself.

OP didn't ask about achievement, he asked about Toxic God colossus getting bonuses sa living ship

Oh yeah, I read "Beastmaster" and thought of the achievement first. In that case, almost certainly not. The bonuses would apply only to cloned space fauna. Technically they should also apply to any artificial ship using Swarm Strikers, which are explicitly said to be cloned and miniaturised Prethoryn - those are absolutely living ships, but the bonuses don't apply.

Ok, thx.

Still searching for what kind of empire would work best with the power-spike when obtaining the TG-colossos.

Both reanimated and mechanical ships got triple upkeep with Beastmaster.
It's a disaster both ways.
