We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
I'm very curious about implementation. If it's tied to late-game tech (Synths?), then aside from RP and just being awesome, gameplay value'll be low, IMO. As main pros of not giving a **** about Habitability isn't that useful lategame. If it's like separate quest triggered by robots or droids.... now that's on completely different level. Or maybe a sepate tech chain that locks out gene modding? So many questions and ideas....
Hopefully it's not just some ascension/victory mechanic, but a fully fledged way to play as a pure robotic/synth species.
If it was discussing matrioshka brains, maybe I'd take it to mean a fancy victory condition. "Producing a robot body for all our citizens" just sounds like a way to replace organic pops with synth pops.

It could also be implemented as a new way to interact with the AI rebellion crisis. Why fight the robots If you can join them!
Well, you will not be a synth, technically. But a cyborg. So why pure-blooded program-based race would spare you?

A fully robotic body with a human mind uploaded into it isn't a "cyborg" because there's nothing organic. If you really didn't want to call it a synth, "upload" would be more accurate.

If that's all you're discussing, then you might as well argue that using the wrong size of bolt or the wrong handedness of screw counts.
Once a population has digitized their consciousness, there's not really an appreciable difference between them and AI- personality editing means that it'd be entirely possible to become something completely "alien" in intellect over time.
Sure. But seriously, i was just thinking that divergence in types of synth can really be interesting.
Sounds like they've embraced the whole "100% synth empire" thing that people do, even though it wasn't something that the devs had actually planned.
BTW guys, he's also confirmed that Synth/AI leaders will be immortal in the 'never dying of old age' sense, I'm sure they could still die due to an event or their ship getting destroyed.

He's also said 'Stay tuned' for stuff from the biological and spiritual side. So, if the upload is the materialist/fanatic materialist 'transcending', then there has to be something for the spiritual side, and maybe something for those in between.

Yes they are. All those cool things are comming with traditions stuff. If you see correctly you can see 8 circle in the bottom right of the screen
They are ascension perks and on reeddit a guys has find a russian version of the placeholder. Synthetic transformation is going to be one of them aside transcendance.
But i think we are going to know more about it thurday. Ascension perks are going to be the topic of the next dev diary if i remind correctly.

I am getting pretty excited about the new patch. Looks like Stellaris is finally maturing into the game we originally dreamed about. Keep up the good work devs!

Yeah, it was said in the last dev diary that the next one will be about ascension perks.
To be fair, Martin already spoilered both of them, one directly and the other with implication. I wonder if there will be a third option for those which are neither materialist or spiritualist empires, maybe that's what he meant with 'biological'.
there should be a lot of tradition trees with a lot of mutually exclusive picks <3

I agree wholeheartedly, however, to do it right, they'd have to be put out over time. Having a multitude of trees at one time may cause them to be less than ideal. PDS loves to iterate on their games so I don't foresee this being an issue, other than impatiences amongst the players.
