They are. Player's Ascension Synths are, there's no reason why FE Synths wouldn't be.

Where did you get the idea that player synth empires are immune to the Contingency?
 
If I use my imagination I can say that I think that:

1) Next update will come with this FE empire for free to those who have the Utopia DLC, because they are like a part of the story of the new crisis and depends of this DLC in particular.

2) But the thing that will not come for free are the portraits. This one looks like a Molluscoid, so I guess that a cosmetic DLC is on the way, and this one will bring new robots portraits that takes in consideration the species and will probably have two per species type, but its more probable that only one new. Maybe free to Utopia owners but I’m not sure.

3) Maybe the DLC will come with robotic start from the get go, maybe not, maybe is a free new feature for Utopia owners or all owners, but we will not know until the next DD.

Now, if everything I see here is free (or partially free due to the Utopia DLC), I will just go out and proclaim to the word of the Blorg and their friendship dogma.
 
Hello to you too. Nice highlights.

So fallen synthetic hivemind empire? Or has this something to do with the The Contingency?

No way... you teaser… you just want us to suffer don’t you? How does it feel to know all the answers and just give us these cryptic, and jet straight forward, notes about them -_-
 
I'm not sure that's a Fallen Empire. All Fallen Empires so far have Stagnant Ascendancy as their government type, whereas this one has "Custodian Matrix". Now maybe it's a FE with a new government type (because it's a hive mind, or synths, or something else), but it seems more likely to me that it's something else.

Feels pretty good, thanks for asking! :)
 
Hope the old bugsare finally fixed once and for all, the duplicate admiral bug STILL exists, FFS.

Also give some structure or edict that makes supressing factions cheaper.
 
Hello can we have the option in new game to have multiple Crisis for one game?

I to would like to see an option to be able to have all of the crisis showing up in one game, like have one show up in one side of the galaxy and another in another side of the galaxy and so on. We should just have the ability to be able to have all of the crisis show up in one single game and their should be an option that we can choose how many crisis's we want to spawn in the game either none, just one, or two or again all of the crisis spawning in one single game. Cause to me that would be interesting and a challenge to deal with all of them at once or back to back over the course of a single game

Heh, I completely misremembered the last paragraph of the Contingency DD.
 
@Wiz Any idea when 1.8 will come out? A bunch of buddies and I are planning an all day LAN party within the next few weeks and I'd like to do it in 1.8
You're going to be waiting a long time if you are waiting for 1.8. If they follow the standard pdx pattern this will be a dlc patch and Dev diaries only just started. On top of that they will be on the month long summer break soon. I don't expect 1.8 till around October personally. Of course I could be wrong but there is no way of all be here in a couple of weeks.
 
They probally turned the sanctuary(The 4 primitive species ringworld with lots of defenses) into this empire, where this group are the machines that watch over them.
