Hello everyone!
I hope you have had a great summer thus far, and lets hope we can enjoy the rest of August as well. The team is starting to return from their vacations and were eager to start finishing off the Lem Update so that we can ready it for release in September.
As mentioned in dev diary 214 , were going to Buff the Backlog by adding some gameplay to existing DLC. Today were here to talk about an addition coming in the Lem Update, and more specifically what additions we are making to the Plantoids Species Pack.
We are adding 2 new Civics and 3 new Species Traits to the Plantoids Species Pack. Lets start by taking a look at the new Traits.
[u]New Traits[/u]
We have added 3 new traits that require the species to be either Plantoid or Fungoid.
New traits and their cost.
Phototrophic: Is mutually exclusive with Radiotrophic, and changes some of your food upkeep into energy upkeep. Requires your species to be Plantoid or Fungoid.
Instagram-friendly?
Radiotrophic: Is mutually exclusive with Phototrophic, and changes some of your food upkeep into energy upkeep. It also makes it more beneficial for your Pops to live on Tomb Worlds, as their energy upkeep is removed. Requires your species to be Plantoid or Fungoid.
Contrary to popular belief, this species does not sustain itself by consuming ancient communication equipment.
Budding: This trait allows you to produce some pop assembly. Multiple Species with this trait can help provide pop assembly on potentially another species. For example, two species with the Syncretic Evolution Origin can together assemble one of the two. This trait can probably be especially great for a Hive Mind species.
[u]New Civics[/u]
Lets continue taking a look at the Civics. Both of these new Civics are available to regular empires as well as Hive Minds. Only Idyllic Bloom requires you to be a Plantoid or Fungoid.
Catalytic Processing: This Civic lets you produce Alloys with Food instead of Minerals. Starting Districts have been adjusted to be balanced when using this Civic. Regular Empires and Hive Minds convert 9 Food into 3 Alloys. Machine Empires turn 12 Food into 4 Alloys.
Catalytic Processing is available to many types of empires, but not all of them.
Idyllic Bloom: This Civic lets you transform planets into Gaia Worlds by building Gaia Seeders and upgrading them. The Gaia Seeders have 4 phases, with the 4th and final phase triggering the terraformation of the planet to a Gaia World. Available to regular empires as well as Hive Minds.
