Suggestion has been made by several people for an "automated" origin, I have brainstormed some playstyle mechanics and events/RP content. Starting on a World Machine, with reduced pop growth, and some other tweaks, so that the playstyle is mainly focused on automation and requires very few pops.

for the merchant machine civic, do you think you could implement branch offices? Perhapse offworld bio trophy buildings (Amusement parks/disaster outreach centers/ servitor stations, however you want to justify it for your particular empire)

I don't know how difficult that will be. Currently the way Merchant Machine works is it stockpiles deposits on the player's home planet. Over time, this ends up being a nice big source of energy. Behind the scenes it is not using the game's "trade" system, but it does make it look like it's using trade. I will think about adding some more "trade" mechanics.

I think that leader skill level should affect pickable trait number since you pick traits when you level up.Because builded leader seems subpar to their natural grown competitors.

I have been thinking about this for a while, and I am looking at a way to make the leader builder on par with the base game.

This probably would be overpowered, but would there be any way for bio-mechanical ascension species to gain biologial ascension traits or so?

I am not sure how difficult it would be, but i play with Gigastructures Frameworld origin and would like a way to convert outpost to the automated planets and build districts etc. Again, I'm not sure how much of a pain that would be. It seems to fit the giga-lore of only having pops on the frame world while the outpost can be giant machine planets. Maybe if there is a way to make a megastructure version of them instead? Just throwing some ideas

Hi Xylissa, I will think about this and potential balance issues. There might be a way to grant additional, more powerful traits through a tradition tree or new tech options.

Hi KaneDraco, that is an interesting idea and I will think about it. Frameworld has been one of my favorite playstyles.

Hi, with the new DLC I was wondering if it would be possible for a way to go from synth to one of the new ascension paths introduced for machine empires, such as flipping from synth species type to machine type?

So a suggestion for when you get a moment. Add on to nano-tech tradition that allows planets to spawn pops using nanites similar to virtual but limited to nanite worlds and max 1 pop per planer per month. Also a trait that makes them use %50 less housing on nanite worlds.

Hi Xylissa. I think that will be doable in a future update.

Hi KaneDraco. I have not yet gotten familiar with the Nanotech tradition, so it will take me a bit to evaluate how doable this is. I don't know about changing existing tradition trees, overwriting vanilla stuff is tricky. Something like you requested might be doable by policy or edict.

I did some playtesting. You can start as normal bio empire, do synth ascension, (or use Synth Ascended origin from this mod) pick Mind Integration AP to convert from mechanical to Machine, then do the new Machine ascensions.

How about adding a dedicated Colosus to that mod? As far as I know, Stellaris already has a Colossus called Nanobot Diffuser dedicated to Driver Assimilator. Likewise, when players are promoted to synth or start with a machine intelligence or individualism machine, it would be nice to be able to assimilate all the pop on the planet into a player's race. And even when you start with a machine intelligence or individualism machine, it would be nice to be able to assimilate biopops.

I used a translator, so the content delivery may not be accurate.

Sorry to bother, but would it make sense to change/alter the mind integration perk to some degree to simply allow yourself to become individualistic machines with the optional avaliability to become a machine intelligence empire?

Can you make it so that we can terraform mechanical/other worlds back to normal worlds if we wanted, in case we change our minds
