I am looking for a new build to try with machine empires in 2.2. I have tried the assimilators and exterminators, and now I want try something different. I was wondering if anyone has any cool suggestions.

I've played a lot of machines now, And i would say that servitors are the best out of all. As you get increased stability on planets, more unity than you can spend and faster replicator jobs compared to the other variants. Just don't prioritise growing bio trophies until your energy, minerals and alloys are under control. Then you can get some consumer goods and food. Basically play them like a normal machine, until you have surplus resources.

Video of servitors. 20k fleets and citadels by 100 years for mid game crisis if I remember right.

How do you guys do to delete another robot pop? I conquered another robot empire and i dont want their robots

I have been buying robots like crazy on the market just to bring up my population as much as possible, along with every assembly speed modifier possible. I think getting your pops higher probably far outweighs the downsides of the robots.

Yeah this has been my strategy as a machine empire every time I have access to the market. At first I did not realize the robots would be integrated into the machine gestault consciousness but it is a really nice boost to growth. Plus I think it adds a nice RP element to the machine empire game, acting as some sort of galactic robot liberator. My latest machine empire is called Robotopia for that reason lol

But i only want my robots and i dont find anything to delete the another "species" of robots
I dont have the galactic market and i think that it is for being an determined exterminator

So far I have had the best time playing a regular machine empire instead of the three special ones. The civics I like are rapid replicators (+20% assembly speed) and rockbreakers (+1 minerals from miners). For my traits I went for logic engines (+10% to research from jobs), mass produced (+15% assembly speed), and durable (-10% robot upkeep) as well as whatever negative traits could balance those.

I like not having to worry about food or consumer goods but still have access to diplomacy and the galactic market.
