The Shofixti are part of the Yehat as a syncretic species so they are there. I didn't think they were powerful enough to be their own empire and to better covey the close relationship between them and the Yehat.

I had started making these for myself when I thought: "Has someone else done this?", behold it is! I think I'll take your selections as inspiration and guidance but I have some tweaks of my own to add in. Such as the Yehat Star Clans I made natural physicists since their ships are among the few with functional shields in SC2. Also: No Shofixti?

Thanks! When I get some time I'll check out the AI personalities and Advanced Start type mods and see if they'd spice things up a bit.

Those are very nice. It's a nice showcase of all the designs you can do in Stellaris, too.
Now all that's needed is matching personalities similar to this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=701432146 or the more involved https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1445329615 - so we can get Spathi hilarity and other SC2 goodness.
Add a few custom events, and it would just be amazing to play.

Okay, yeah, that makes a ton of sense. Also I just realized that you couldn't have the Mycon be fungoids and give them Calamitous Birth.

I would have, but it requires the Lithoid pack which I don't have and I was trying to limit the amount of DLC required for the mod.

Given that the Mycon use their eggs to populate planets, I'd recommend giving them the "Calamitous Birth" origin.
