It's nice that with time all the missing things are filled in - be it missing fuel mechanics in HOI4 or economics in stellaris. But there is one big blocked of space right in the middle of every Stellaris game that has so far been ignored.:
1.: The supermassive black hole in the center of probably every galaxy.
It could be represented as a black hole that covers half of a trinary star sized map and would be a much less random system for things like a L-Gate. Other systems surrounding this central system, containing black holes, stellar remnants, Wolf–Rayet stars and other volatile celestial objects (and space creatures)
https://www.scientificamerican.com/...py-swarms-of-black-holes-at-our-galaxys-core/
would make hyperlane travel in this space regions more difficult which brings me to point 2 of my thread.
2.: Researching better Hyperdrives is of too little consequence at the moment.
However if there were Hyperspace Lanes that required them like those leading to the galactic core and its surrounding systems or (clusters of) stars at the galactic rim then these techs would become much more vital.
And these isolated systems could be good places for new encounters.
3.: As for getting Zro.

Diplomacy:
Piety:
Just siphoning some off - who's gonna notice?:

The sealed system with the mysterious tanker and the corrupted avatar that is only accessible through a wormhole and spawns in every galaxy. I once got the "Below Zro" anomaly there and and it fit so well that I didn't deem it a coincidence then since it would be the perfect dessert for the shroud entity. So make that a staple.
Dathnak's gone Psionic
If you get the Ascendancy perk further interaction with the gaseous fellows would make sense so why not let them be productive and let them generate some spice for you maybe even let them coalesce into things like shroud avatars.
Those who favour "The Flash is Weak" might give them some nanites and eventually lead them to generate living metal.

If you have entered a contract with a shroud patron then you should get another temple tech that allows you to upgrade one citadel of faith and get your Zro from worshipping your Psy-God.
2.2 added the Portal to Dimension [X] planet event that may contain a pathway to a mirror universe (trade), null void (antimater/void beam weapon) and a place of suffering. So why not add the shroud's address to the list to get some Zro. If you didn't get lucky with the roll on your dimension some research project should be able to fix that once you have access to the shroud. If you did get lucky it should lead to events that unlock the psionic theory research option.
