I hope you'll give a variety of flavours for the "The flesh is weak" event text, so that it'll gel with the different government/ethics types/

How compatible are the different ascension paths? Obviously if we go full robot it will lock out biological and psyonic paths, but if i only go cyborg (flesh is weak) then can i still gene mod the organic parts, and become psyonicaly awakened?
Will there something with ki worlds so if choose the path of the syntetic that i can terraform Worlds to ki world or something like that?
Cheers for the DD Wiz 
Great work on organising while/before on the road as well . These are all very cool additions, but I'd just like to mention that, in the context of:
....I'm glad you're a game designer, and not involved in government *.
*Just joking of course, I'm not seriously suggesting you'd go for these policies, love your and your team's imagination.

This has been answered countless times since Ascension Paths were first explained, starting with the explanation of Ascension Paths itself, but no- once you start down one, the other two are locked out. You can't mix-and-match.
SWEEEEEET!! This update is looking more epic all the time.
I'm reminded of slavery all the sudden. Hopefully this doesn't get abused as a way of enslaving without having to actually enslave.

It's pretty clearly Slavery Lite, yeah, or a boost to slavery if you already practice it. I don't consider that so much something "abusable" as "an alternative path to similar ends only available if you take the Genetic Ascension Path perks so as to be able to create these 'willing slave' not-slaves".
Your nerve-stapled sheep will mean nothing in the face of the psionic horrors I unleash upon your worlds.
Mods can let you do basically anything. They're irrelevant as an answer to that question.
Hmmm ... all this new stuff looks very interesting, but I think you forgot to talk about something. Like those two new species traits right after resilient and before the already discussed "Evolutionary Mastery" traits.
So Question for @Wiz, are these traits going to be addressed next dev diary?
And, are they about "consumer goods"? as in the good version of the trait lessens the amount used by recycling and the bad version of the trait increases the amount used?

Leaving aside the possibility that Gene Warriors and others may have been rebalanced, there's nothing inherently wrong with one path giving better ground troops as a perk. We know that the psionics can do things like summon demons from the Shroud to fight for them (presumably awesome warships), and the synthetics get better research/production (so they can drown your Gene Warriors with More Dakka).
Every path needs something cool behind it; psionic goes for crazy gambling with demons, synthetics goes for boring but practical mass production, and genetic engineering is in between.
Your transport ships can't actually land your gene warriors if they're in the jaws of a very hungry shroud avatar.
Maybe so, but it depends on how hard it takes for someone to figure out how to make it happen. Still having Psionic Spartans does sound cool (from a roleplaying perspective that is).
That's true. Except that psionic you can also use stuff similar to the Jedi/Sith and maybe the Benders from the Avatar: Last Airbender.
I do hope they have balance the armies though. It would be a pain to have to deal with a Fallen Empire's Gene Warriors and all I have are Psionic Armies (and I better have Xeno Cavalry!)
Hm....That's true. But are you referring to the Avatar like Korra and Aang or an avatar like a demigod?
Sorry couldn't resist that joke. ;P
But @Wiz I'm interested in learning if the Ascension Paths will also unlock new civics as well. I hope so.
Hm....I am looking forward to getting this DLC!
Plus, we can always add more events to our games. I do hope someone adds some events that are similar to the Jedi/Sith!
Just one stupid question:
When you go the synth path and your population becomes fully mechanical....what happens to your food production?
In my core systems, I can micro manage....but how will sectors handle this?
What happens to paradise domes - do they change from food to energy production?

Wouldn't the entire population going synthetic be...potentially harmful to an empire's energetic economy?

Probably. But if you go down the event chain without any prep with securing extra energy production, that's really kind of your fault.
