New slavery type

[Shist]

Experimentation
You get science for each pop, livestock for science. There would be a purge option like this for hiveminds and genocidal empires. normal machine empires could also have this.

Perhaps it could be tied to a specific Civic. I've had an idea for new Robot Civic that would be similar to Rogue Servitors, but with your organic pops suffering under "Obligatory Testing" rather than "Mandatory Pampering" and producing science instead of Unity. Basically the Glados option.

That would obviously be a Civic, so perhaps Organics could get a Civic of their own to allow for a large-scale supply of involuntary test subjects. Also, depending on the specific flavor for the Civic, I could also see Test Subject slaves providing +X% research per pop instead of direct Research. That way you still need actual researchers on the planet to subject them to experimentation.

how much science though? because if its just one per type than its not worth it. this slavery should def be limited to xenophobes and materialist too

About half less than researchers, they don't use consumer goods and have no limit, they might get the same buffs as researchers or maybe each pop gives +.1% researcher along with their own science. I have little expertise in game balance, people being experimented on was an actual thing that happened, and it would make sense in Stellaris.

Why not but it shouldn't give too much

Or maybe just societal research.

Or maybe just societal research.

It would makes sense and be pretty balanced yeah

You could also make it a Purge type, which generates a few Amenities just by happening, and a bunch of Society every time a pop is removed.

That would prevent stacking.

If this is going to e a civic it'd also have to have some other permanent bonus to make the price of wasting 1 civic point worthy.

It'd also have to be for: Non Egalitarian & [ Materialist or Xenophobe ].
