New citizens after the synthetic ascension

[pig2000]

So the synthetic ascension path turns all your citizens into synths.
But what about the citizens who join the empire after that, can I turn them into synths too?

Is it an option that possibly pops up in Set Rights?

Thats exactly what I'm asking...
Can someone pls check it out? If that is possible I'll buy utopia right now...

Only primary species turns into a new species a synthetic one, which you get to rename.
Synthetics that were prebuild remain Synthetics they do not become members of the new primary species.
Other species do not get turned into the new primary species and there is no option to turn them into your new species.

shown are all the species inside my empire.
The neo Organics are my old species turned into synthetics. The other species were present before the shift to synthetics but they did not throw away their mortal shell.

I thought Martin specifically said that all races within an empire with Synth Ascension get converted...

Then it must be bugged.

All races in your empire at the time of finishing the cyborg enhancement project get upgraded to cyborgs automatically. Anyone who migrates later will be non-cybernetic. However, you can upgrade non-cyborgs to become cyborgs at any time, but you need the genemodding tech. This is weird as I'd figure you'd be able to modify them even without the tech, but whatever. As for upgrading pops once you're already synths? I don't know yet, haven't gotten that far.

Weird? It's paradoxical I say.

Makes me wonder if anybody at Paradox ever played a game before release. Ascension is one of the main features of the DLC, something all the buyers were looking for. Yet here we are with nonsense like this.
