Hello!

Thank you for the report!
We are aware of the issue, it has already been added to our bug database.

Ur founder species is not a valid species and if u are synth ascended all ur pops are synths.

Biomodded or cybernetic founder species is valid. And its categorized as a bug, so, I suspect this is unintended behavior.

I just ran into this issue, It's still happening (er, well, not happening). I wanted to start wide and end tall this playthrough, using habitats to exploit resources to make my capitol sector very tall. I did that so I could release sectors as vassals later on for a few reasons. The RP element is obvious, the other reason is to ease myself of the burden of managing the entire empire. Apparently I can't do that as an ascended Synth though, which doesn't make sense to me. The explanations forums are providing online apply to hiveminds and robot empires (blah blah blah cut off from the central neural network blah blah collective consciousness) but I don't see how they do to Synths. After all, the thing that separates Synths from robot empires is that Synths are still individuals.

Anyways, It's annoying to arrive at midgame and figure out what you set up the whole game for isn't possible and I see no reason why it shouldn't be or how I was supposed to know ahead of time I was wasting my time.
