Playing as the Migite Realm, a custom theocratic constitutional monarchy; and this is the leader of the Council of Research Efficiency materialist faction 
Why would a ruler of a spiritualist state be the leader of a materialist faction?

This is why Stellaris needs expanded internal politics mechanics. It's obvious the High Queen has been compromised and needs to have an "accident" happen to her.Playing as the Migite Realm, a custom theocratic constitutional monarchy; and this is the leader of the Council of Research Efficiency materialist faction

It's an old joke. There are two identical things, and you say "I'm seeing double!Four{things}!" Means that there are two of them, but you're seeing double, seeing four of 'em.
But my point is, two randomly generated Empires... oh. Hm. One of them could have an origin to explain... *goes to check* Okay. One of them was a "Lost Colony". So not strange. Never mind. Makes me feel better about that other guy having "Superior" so early in a Galaxy without advanced starts.

I'm playing a xenophile country, but my xenophobe faction is happier than my xenophile faction. That seems like it shouldn't be possible.

This is why I really want to see faction mechanics expanded. A situation like this has lots of possibilities for interesting gameplay.

Well this sure is a weird one. This is an orbital habitat, but it sure doesn't appear like one at first. The habitat almost looks like it just suddenly vanished from reality itself. It was only on closer inspection that I realized its model still appears, it just somehow turned itself pitch black. I have no damn clue as to how this happened, all I can say is that it is most certainly not everyday that an orbital habitat suddenly turns black and essentially makes itself invisible on the system view.
And here's the same habitat when looking up. Strange.

I have the same issue. It seems to have started with the latest patch, and only appears to affect mammalian level-1 habitats.
My advice is to fill it with admin and police buildings and call it a "black site."

Started a new game as the CoM, and got a surprise on surveying my first system:
Also, an uncolonizable habitable planet:

My materialist space butterfly slaver empire got the Zroni precursor chain so I grabbed psi ascension for fun. They still DO love their robot slaves too, though. This is going to be fun. And dangerous. And fun.
PS: Naturally, our most holy emperor is a 5475 years old psionic robot with the "The Chosen One" trait who reformed our initially fanatic egalitarian republic into the glorious empire it is now.

Relax, they are just double-checking all systems.
And triple-checking..
And quadruple-checking...
And quincentuple-checking, so they're almost there!
I was about to invade and annex these primitives when they went and nuked themselves into extinction. I think they somehow knew I was coming for them and elected to die free rather than live as slaves.

IIRC there is no model for Fallen Empire habitats, for some reason. That's probably why.
Which is dumb, considering they can make them when they Awaken. (And do, from what I've seen. I've seen them building Ringworld, Habitats, and Mega-Shipyards so far.
