Unaccountably Peckish

ok so here is the question: can we consume zarlquan's head? I doubt we can but it would be so funny having the religious fallen empire go "it cannot be, but it is true, you are his successors! can we see his remains" and then we see our species quickly wipe whatever consumptive orifice they use and say "uhm...sorry, wrong tomb, he is not here, probably somewhere else"

I can imagine that if you eat it, when they contact you, they sure will start total war agains your empire. I wonder how Cetana would react, if she would get head back, and you eat it instead XD

This dev diary was more entertaining than it had any right to be. Thanks. Looking forward to this expansion a lot.

Some of this is straight ripped off of modders that already added this stuff. What are you doing to compensate modders who's ideas your borrowing it feels like.

Troll detected. Initiating purging protocols.

the terms of service with the mod community that they have makes it so they can take that stuff whenever they feel like it and none of the mods are actually owned by the mod creators but the developers. Most official modding methods for games follow this. So it's less that their stuff is being stolen and more that their stuff was so good that the developers decided to make it a core feature of the game.

The evolutionary predator is a cool Origin, but what about a Genetic Assimilator Origin? I want to roleplay the kett (from Mass Effect Andromeda; you even have a humanoid portrait that was clearly inspired by they) and turn all sophonts in the galaxy in more of my species. I mean, being able to RP the Tyranids and eat the galaxy is cool, but I want assimilate it without any chance of resistance...

Exactly. I'm tired of these "you stolen this idea from the modders" guys. They are so boring.

Evolutionary Predators is literally the Zerg. The description fits how they evolve and adapt to a T.

And after this releases, someone had better do a Zerg Stellaris playthrough.

If I eat Xenos, am I Xeno? Do I have to eat myself?

FINALLY, I will be able to make an all-consuming bioplague whose sole goal is evolution.

Finally great origin to roleplay violent hunters

dude that's what I'm doing day one! Biological shipment with this new origin plus devouring swarm civic plus the civic that lets me make alloys with food plus a few negatives that don't harm my food production allowing me to build a wet world focused on making food to turn into spaceships to turn into adults to annihilate the entire Galaxy as I consume everything and everyone!

For a hive mind player like me this is a wet dream XD

Welp, guess I am going Hive Mind + Devouring Swarm + Evolutionary Predators + Bioships + Behemoth Fury... Tyranids ahoy! This is shaping up to be on par with the Machine Age, keep it up Paradox.

exactly I also just love the concept act the new update is making itself energy is not as important and biological shifts are very powerful if you have enough food so that in itself makes food a lot more powerful which means this entire update is simultaneously nerfing the stuff that has been dominant in stellaris for years but also buffing everything that people have usually considered to be red herrings and money sinks.

On top of now allowing hive to finally do trade allowing them to have trade stuff with other empires most likely all of it just opens the world of possibilities tenfold and I can't wait to see how it all turns out and what they're going to show us when they finally start telling us about the psionic rework DLC!
