...For those bones to still be there on the surface after so long, that world must have no wind and no rain. The world must be utterly sterile.

The implied mutual destruction on top of that... Walking on the surface of that world would break people. It'd be utterly silent except for the sounds of people stepping on bones. There would be nothing living, plants or animals. The only reason the planet has an atmosphere would likely be the Tower.

This wouldn't be a Tomb World, it's past that. It'd be a Grave World. Where nothing lives and only the Tower remains. Still standing. As it was before it lured those civilizations to their deaths. And as it will be after your civilization joins the multitude of bones.

It'd develop it's own mythology and most people would see either the planet or tower as cursed.

I have a colony with one of these towers. Please, don't spread this rumors near there, ok? ;)

Yeah now that you mention it, I had this one too, once.
Any idea what's up with that?
Pardon.. I meant admirals (who uses generals, anyway?).
I suspect that the admiral is not properly removed from the fleet when merging larger fleets - or when his flagship is destroyed. Afterwards, the marker is still with the fleet, but the admiral cannot be removed because the admiral himself is actually somewhere else (orphaned/null reference). It probably can be mended via savegame editing.

I've seen this many times. Quantum Admirals, just like the Quantum Scientists. Or maybe... what was, will be; what will be, was.

Why is the egalitarian icon blurred like that? Is it some kind of hint that they are about to go fanatic militarist on you, no egalitarianism to be expected? Also, are you a space nazi?

Hahahahahaha~
Most likely just a failure on my screenshot's end. we'll see :)
and Indeed I am. can't go wrong with just a bit of REICH in space no? :p Sadly I am not a fanatic purifier but merely a Dictatorship

In the same game, I had the Unbidden send me a message telling me my dyson sphere was blocking a star important to their culture, but I accidentally closed it before I could screenshot it.

Had to boot up a few games and check, to me the all egalitarian icons look fine.
The egalitarian icon being blurred depends on your graphics settings, its fine on my PC where everything is maxed but blurred on my garbage laptop where all settings are minimal.

Some primitive aliens that we were observing had such a massive nuclear war that they blasted their asteroid into a spherical planet.

And also blew a chunk off to create a moon.

Have you built a science nexus? If you do there is an event that sometimes happens that will give one of your existing scientists both the Spark of Genius and Maniacal traits. I had that pop up with a sentient AI assistant that had ascended to synth status.
No sadly I did not, and that scientist died to the end so there is no chance to get that now, but thank you for telling me.
