Hive Mind - Can't be life seeded or survivors?

[pigdaddy]

Hi Devs,

Can this please be fixed as it seems a massive over sight that hive mind or machine intelligence races can't be life seeded or survivors etc.

Now have to look for a mod that allows it

Tomb world adaptable devouring swarm would be so hilariously overpowered, I love it. Zerg rush every planet, player and AI straight off.

In my case, I wanted to RP a little life seeded natural engineer hive that is very tall with megastructures but can't.

Life-Seeded Machine Intelligence would be starting on a super planet with no habitability downside, which could be a bit overpowered. Tomb World start would be cool for Driven Assimilators, but otherwise doesn't make much difference to MIs (Determined Exterminators already start on a Tomb World).

I agree though that these civics make complete sense for Hive Minds.

Not sure how a Tomb World start makes sense for a Hive Mind, but Life Seeded might be interesting.

Just because there's only one hive on the planet now doesn't mean that was always the case. A nuclear war between rival hives is perfectly plausible.

it is not even close to an " over sight " it is wanted , it is so wanted , that they made new civic just for any and all different "special" govern form .

there are varius reason for special govern to not get access to special civ ; but if you realy like the idea , you can mod it in .

its easy, follow the wiki istruction for making the mod ( the files that you will need to copy and modify its in stellaris\common\governments\civics) there are instruction inside the file on how to modify , it can get tricky, but for those 2 civs its about changing some lines ( or removing them)

Having life seeded machines is a contradiction of terms is it not? Machines did not evolve from amino acids scattered through the universe unless you include the biological who built the machine as a step on that machine's evolution.
