yeah that was in 1.8, but the system was perfectly viable.
You colonized all that and made it into a 1 system sector with a "fleet admiral" governor.
That would be 17 easily identifiable starports in one system with cheaper ship construction.
2.0 would look like this:
Do you know if there is a way to identify rocky planets which are too big/small for the event without using the console or mods?
I don't know of any mod that would do that and I can't think of a way of doing it with the console that isn't so tedious that you'd want to eat a bullet.
What I did was to write a php script to parse the savegame file to generate a list of systems with information on available planets.
So, if this Horizon signal event is repeated, we can have endless tomb worlds?
considering that's the only meaning of the word, it means the Horizon Signal is NOT farmable.
I dont get it. How to farm Horizon Signal? Is it a way, a bug ? to farm Horizon Signal event?
It's not so much farmable as it's relatively trivial to force trigger the event in 100% of games you play.
Set a scientist (or several) to enter and leave black hole systems ad infinitum until the event fires.
Ah interesting I wrongly assumed that you did something ingame with the console or a mod to find those systems.
While we are on the topic; I've not played through the event chain with every type of species yet.
What are the rest of the portrait types that you end up with after the Messenger modifications?
These are the ones I'm familiar with:
Humanoid:
Avian:
Plantoid:
Molluscoid:
What about the rest?: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Species#List_of_species_groups
Mammalian:
Reptilian:
(thanks Vyktor)
Arthropoid:
Fungoid:
I think I know which one we get for Reptilian and Arthropoid, but it's been a while and I don't want to spread false info.

Ahhh this event. I had never gotten it before 2.0.1.
At the time I was playing an awesome pacifist empire, everything was going well.
Until I decided to go along with it.
GOD DAMMIT.
Is there a way to get out of the influence sink spiral thing? I couldn't even change my ethos because of it. It was a terrible way to lose a game

Interesting; I went and looked at the scripted event that actually changes your species, and there's an alternate for each type, that is chosen if your portrait is already the one it was going to flip to.

Avian has been accidentally left out of the script, and looks like it doesn't change portraits with the event.
Has anyone actually seen any of the right-hand-side portraits as a result of the event?

When I did it today the 4th row was what I experienced. I was the guys on the left, the event made me the guys on the right.
Something I have found out is that if you have Syncretic Evolution the Messenger event won't change your main species's appearance. Having two "main" species probably bugs the event lol.
So, you're authoritarian, so you can resetlle and prevent migration... But you only put one species of your main race on your homeworld? You missed out on the engineer/physicst combo!
When I did this, I didn't realize I'd be able to stack erudite and intelligent, so I missed out on that part. You were actually at +50% physics and +35% to the other 2, you forgot about the new +5% to everything from robust. But, you could have been +50% to both physics and engineering.
And, since you're authoritarian, it should be little to no issue whether you have a second subspecies. Your first subspecies had to give up fertile to get natural engineers. They're amazing on labs, but that's all they're amazing at. So, have a second one, that are better at unity and sociology, than the first. They don't even have to be there for the last event, since you can terraforming everything to Gaia worlds (including your new tomb worlds) and the second subspecies doesn't need +physics when they're working clinics and loop institutes. It helped that I also had synths, who were best at energy and unity no matter what.
Thing is, later I conquered some psionic xeno pops. Since I didn't stack intelligent, they were better than my worm freaks at science (and, of course at leading research too). Now, what would have been awesome: I had some migration treaties in this game. Some of my pops migrated, multiplied, and then emigrated back to me later after I'd gene modded. Not a big deal, just a little work. Now, imagine they'd migrated to a psionic empire, assimilated, and come back. Then you worm them. 60/45/60 research bonuses!
