The Biological ascension is rather weak for Lithoids. True, the extra trait points make it possible to add one of the unique Lithoid traits if you didn't start with it, but of the 5 traits that Biological ascension unlocks, 3 are blocked for Lithoids. I would suggest adding some unique traits that only Lithoids can use.

Superconductivity
The neural paths of this species have been enhanced beyond the capacities of ordinary lithoid organisms in controlled environments.
+2 of each research type Researcher output +2 Researcher energy upkeep

Yeah, I know it kind of serves as another Erudite-like bonus

Golem
Through extensive genetic manipulation, we have achieved the impossible - through seeding a specially designed flashcard with the genetic code in a specially prepared rock, we can bring it to life and make it mold into a fully functional specimen.
This species can only be created by Organic Assembly
This species gets +200% to Monthly Organic Pop Assembly

Living foundry
The biological processes of this species have been alter to induce the creation of advanced alloys as byproducts of digestion.
Each Pop produces 0.05 monthly Alloys

Yeah, a Lithoid Hivemind can ONLY take biological ascension, so to have over half of those potential unique bonuses be off-limits is rather discouraging.
