Super habitability

[Shadowing]

i have accidentaly created species that have fixed 80% habitability on all planet. Slapped subterran and noxious resulted in minimum 80% habitability on all planets..

Can confirm, its a pretty fun way to play :D

How is Subterranean helping make it 80%? All it does in make every planet a minimum of 50%, not a base of 50%. Did they change how it interacts with other bonuses?

[MrFreake_PDX]

Noxious has a minimum habitability of 30%

[Toppopia]

Would that stack with lithoids as well or is the lithoid bonus different?

That's gonna get nerfed I bet. I'm shocked they allowed another minimum in the game at all. Subterranean bonus was unique.

Still getting it higher then 80% would require the same grind of tech but that base is nuts.

edit:
That happiness modifier though. nm I don't see a nerf coming lol. It's interesting however.

Nice combo! lol

[ScreamCon]

the power creep would get slightly nerfed at best. Since dlc content is advertised as such and legally can't easily remove if was core aspect
This combo now can be used similar to using lithoids for high habitability.

What this means is you can get good habitability with food eating species
... if your willing to min max

Machine empires are getting weaker as their bonus was good habitability but don't have as many picks as normal empires.

machines needs second dlc
mainly made for traits

Their list of civics is also too small.

If you don't play hives/purifiers you can get pops with required habitability fairly easily so it is not that big of a bonus considering penalties.

Thinking 80% habitability is good for the ENTIRE game is silly.

You are taking a -30% growth penalty for the entire game and thinking that's great.

Your planets can't reach 100% habitability

-20% (I think, not 30%) for the entire game, yes, but you also get a massive boost at the start, relative to other empires. So it depends on whether you can do enough in the early game to compensate.

Nope its -30% growth

Since your origin costs you -20% and you can only get 80% habitability which costs you -10% growth, +20% upkeep and -10% output for the entire game.

Seems good for early rush

found with gamplay that mutagenic spas no longer affect habitability with 80% perma habitability.
