Materialists can get psionic technology if they have a scientist with the psionics trait (you can get the trait through exploration).

Could it be possible to be able of combining endgame paths?
Like for example enabling an empire to either develop two of the paths at level one or reaching the second level of only the first path?
It would be cool to have a cyborg specie with advanced gene therapy abilities

^This. Although it's pretty rare and can still appear with skill levelup when they're just assisting research. Also, you can reverse engineer psi jumpdrive and the precognitive computer from debris, not sure about getting the psionic army from debris though.

Thats exactly why i said i dont like the idea of having only a slim chance to trigger the only event chain that can make it possible. Other than that random level ups wont ever give the trait as it is locked to already having the psi tech OR the event chain. If they havent changed the game files since last i checked.
You can get the psionics trait from random level ups, I've had it happen recently too in 1.4. Still really rare though.
That said, we (well, us players anyway) don't yet know the details behind achieving said perks, and the fact that you can fluidly change your governments ethics in 1.5 helps.

Just to further clarify: i prefer each ascension path to be a CHOICE not just an option. I want to be able to choose reliably in each game which path i want to take. And sure if each path is easier for some and harder for others thats fine BUT i hope if you work hard enough to unlock them you can always get whichever you want no matter your ethos. And praying for random events to trigger is by no means a reliable way and definitely no CHOICE of the player. Unless cyborg paths keep their racial traits and gain some new bonus to them LOL then screw psionic ascension, welcome my materialist, intelligent, synthetic and natural physicist species (but then spiritualist should not be able to get cyborg just as materialist cant get psi to make it a fair deal)
I have high hopes for the new ethos system too. Collectivist Fspiritualist and FIndividualist with anything are so broken right now. Materialist needs some love.

The great thing though is that if you don't like it that way, you can just mod it out and make them not have ethos as a requirement.

I hope that the synth path does not merely change you primary species to synth but create a new synthetic version of your species.
So that they will be a difference between regular synth of your and alien empires and your species.
Would odd to conquer a planet with synth in it that are not considered xenos especially for xenophobes.
Additionnally I hope that the current laws concerning slavery and and robots are reversed or at least that it is easier to enslave organic (they are inferior afterall ) and harder to enslave robots (or synth) of your or another race making.

So... this may have been mentioned (but not in the first six pages), but you state that there are three paths, biological, spiritual, and synthetic. But then when describing the basics of the three paths, you switch "spiritual" to "psionic". So which one is it?
Oversight maybe? Going by the earlier part of the DD, I guess he meant psionic and typed spiritual instead for whatever reason.

Psionics are a spiritualist discipline- you can unlock them without being a Spiritualist empire, but they are inherently "mystical" and operate in ways counterintuitive to Materialist ways of thinking.

Anyone else see these achievements and immediately think of XCOM: Enemy Within?

They're ascendancy perks, not achievements, and I've never played the XCOM series, so, no.
speaking of gene-modding pops. thats a subject ive never been 100% clear on. It would seem that you dont modify your race a as a whole, but you modify existing pops.. which means newly created pops are born with old traits..and.. yeah...
can someone clarify? Thanks

Well, kinda, even thou X-com merely glanced at the potential in the first one, and more or less removed it for the secon one. (the new games)
what about making work projects more real?
for an example a building requires 600 minerals and 1 year to build with simple rate of cost (50 per month) you have 400 minerals and +25 per month
following a classic Stellaris mechanic it needs 8 months waiting for resource and 1 year building
following a usual build we use in real world we build that immediately and 8 months later we have 200 more minerals to finish a job
or maybe if Stellaris is a game where all cost need to be paid first for all buildings then trash this idea
another thing is that please make genetic modifying a specific colony ship possible and changing planet preference possible without trait point because technically it costs zero but can't be done without at least 1 trait point

even though it's likely that the spirit choose psi and material choose nth but everyone else could go any and except that counter intuitive it's still possible
Hrm... I have a question. If you replace all your mods with robots and you install a robot leadership, do the robots still revolt?
Along these lines, maybe make deficit spending a possibility. Maybe allow you to go negative to an amount equivalent to one year worth of your minerals and energy credits gain. Obviously, this would cost you in local policing and other areas, perhaps with a chance per month of a bad event firing where production or science are sabotaged?
No, they become a subspecies. Meaning, if you mod half the Pops on a planet, both the new and the original pops will birth new ones with their respective traits.
