Extermination. Anything else is admitting that other species might have uses. Fanatical purifiers wouldn't accept that.
Neutering might not be a bad option if you put all the aliens together and have enough room to expand otherwise. You'll probably get more resources out of it in the long run.
Note that the Japanese and Italians, that were considered "Honorable Aryans". Definitley Xenophobic expanionists that did purging, but not exactly Fanatic Purifier.
We do not know what kind of effect that will ahve on the planet. Just some tileblockers? Or worse stuff like debuffs, habitability switch, etc.?
Right now Fanatic Purifier AI is tagged as "Robot Exploiter" (Robot Slaver). That should give us some guideline of how they view robots.
Also consider the Krikkit from Hitchiker Guide to the galaxy. As close as you can get to a Fanatic Purifier. Totally used Robots.
The way this could work is simple: They consider the Robots thier Children (as much as thier literal children). The game might need a way to differentiate between Robot pops of different Origins. FanPury should either purge those too (even if thier Robots do not like that) or have a way to convert them.
Wiz actually answered that in the Q&A after the lifesteam from 24th: Nope, Robots can not be processed.
Extermination or Processing if I can colonise/move pops to the planet.
Forced Labor if thie planet is build up but not directly habitable for my species. No reason to not terraform it first.
Neutering never. The whole purpose of Neutering and Displacement is to avoid Diplomacy penalties for purging. And FanPury are all about not having Diplomacy.
Extermination only!
I mean that really puts the fanatical in fanatically purifier. It doesn't make sense to allow any other option.

Then again, it depends on their mentality, as some of FP's replics suggest that they even pity you for being an alien. Then again, their replics vary a lot.

Game lack two purge types:
- Put entire purged population into test chambers, killing them in testing process, to boost science (GlaDOS style)
- Purged population is put into arenas to fight for their life , boosting purgers happienes (Rome, genoosians)
- Put entire purged population into test chambers, killing them in testing process, to boost science (GlaDOS style)
- Purged population is put into arenas to fight for their life , boosting purgers happienes (Rome, genoosians)
I see no problem with eating them, they are nothing but animals, and animals are food. It just happend that this breed of animals got their hands an laser weapons somehow and doesn´t accept his place as animals any more. Not eating them if they taste fine would mean to accept them as something better.
Fanatical Purifiers are not against any form of xeno live (otherwise they had to bomb every other planet with plants on it into a molten Rock), they are only against intelligent xeno live.
I can´t really imagine Fanatical Purifiers using Neutering, Purging Blorg would need around 150 years, that´s not a purge anymore, that´s just normal slavery.
But in the End it´s mostly about role playing, their are already enough strange ethics on this world, I can´t even imagine how it looks like on other planets with a complete different history.

I'll make the unusual case.
Forced labor if your neighbors live in habitable worlds, neutering if your neighbors live in uninhabitable worlds.
You've got military bonuses, you're going to be conquering your neighbors and making enemies much faster than you are growing your own population and spreading it out. So you want those minerals to build new space ports on recently conquered planets and then build those new ships. Plus a slow burn maximizes the length of your unity bonuses.
If their planet is palatable to your own people, you work that alien scum to death and as some elbow room opens up you transfer in your own people to take over that existing infrastructure.
What if their planet isn't habitable? Well, it's likely going to end up completely abandoned. You see, terraforming is well worth it, but expensive, too expensive to do en masse if you're also supporting a galaxy conquering fleet. After just a few successful wars you're going to end up with more planets to terraform than you can afford to work. So if you have more planets to terraform than you know what to do with anyway, why not get 75 to 150 years of work out of those eunuchs?

Purge as FanPury gives you something more valuable then science - Unity. That allows you more Tradition and ascension Perks (wich can buff science too).
"Fighting for thier Life" could be one interpretation of Domestic Servants Slavery. Allowing that purge style makes no sense - you would loose the bonus eventually.
Neutering plus Chemical bliss quality of life.
Cruelty towards aliens is like cruelty towards animals-perhaps not wrong, per se, but certainly unbecoming when embraced over enthusiastically. It's not the fault of the xenos that they must die=that would imply they possess some sort of moral agency, after all-so those that accept their fate shouldn't be made to suffer unduly.

I'd say that since Armageddon Bombardment is only available to Fanatic Purifiers, it has to be pretty bad.
After all, it's called Armageddon.
It can also be unlocked through the domination(?) tradition.I'd say that since Armageddon Bombardment is only available to Fanatic Purifiers, it has to be pretty bad.

But yes. The correct form of purging? From orbit.
That said, I an fully intending to see how far you can push the war system using the Armageddon bombardment. Do you get a lump sum of war score for entirely exterminating all life on a planet? Do you lose war score because you're not actively blockading an enemy planet any more?
It would be pretty hilarious if that was the case, because then you could methodically exterminate entire massive empires in a single war simply by blasting their planets one by one. Quicker than wargoal purging them three at a time every 10 years or so.
Used to be. Apparently what it means has since changed to a pure FanPury thing, rather then a roughly militarist/expansionist thing.
There is still the mater of Unity gain. It would be easy to simply let Armageddong Bombardment not produce Unity. While purging them the hard way does.
Same way with Xenophobe/Militarist atraction - you get extra for purging hte hard way, nothing or even negative fur purging the easy way.
With the Banks Mechanics there are so many ways to incentivise playing a certain way it is awesome.
Not really? The idea that other intelligent species are a cosmic mistake isn't something that is well suited to benevolence.Couldn't there be "benevolent fanatical purifiers"?
