You can wait for the droids or just make your faction angry for 10 years, it'd probably be worth it

I noticed clicking around on my own colonized planets that I can terraform the ones I have pops on if I have a particular third terraforming tech. If I somehow manage to get that tech as well, could I terraform the planet with the presentients on it without hurting them?
You could also uplift the pre-sapient, they would join your empire - and your Xenoist faction would be happy.
I believe setting your pre-sapient policy as "Tolerated" instead of "Protected" would make your faction happy, while letting you terraform their world.
But if you keep protecting them, even with the Ecological Adaptation tech I don't think you could terraform their world

You should be able to, but why not uplift the presentients? They have the correct habitability.
How do I uplift them? That would definitely be my preference, but the button is greyed out.
Edit: Oh I see. I need Epigenetic Triggers first. Can I uplift them even if I haven't colonized the planet yet?

Yes, colonization is unnecessary, they will love you, and you can usually add a trait or 2 to make them even more effective on that planet.
I am currently playing as a machine intelligence. There is a rival machine intelligence bordering me, I'm playing tall so I wanted to take his capitol, turn it into a vassal, then feed my new vassal in 10 year increments until I succeed in taking all of his territory. However, after taking his capitol I find that the option to create a Vassal is grayed out for some reason. Am I really not able to create a machine intelligence vassal as a machine intelligence?
As a side note, the planet in question actually has two different types of of robots on it, as the machine intelligence I am attacking had previous swallowed another one.

I think the reasoning is that creating a machine vassal would be like cutting off your arm (or a piece of your brain) and making it a vassal. They are a gestalt intelligence.
I viewed it as if I was severing a part of the whole that is me, to create a new entity subservient to me. One would think that would be within the power of a machine intelligence to create a new one.
'Disenfranchise' == 'residence' or 'caste system (residence)'
Both these constitute disenfrahcnisement, so the xenos (even the ones that are free under caste) will get -10% happiness and their ethics won't count towards faction proportions.
Is there any way to keep materialists pleased if you lose tech lead? I went from single planet to tall, lost my tech lead when my federation ally devoured an F, and now my influence is crashed because materialists are angry over dull edge. Is it time to just abandon this game?
Essentially, no.
This seems like something of an overreaction considering that faction happiness is almost totally irrelevant and your failure to maintain it will not inconvenience you in any way.
It's a huge lose of influence, and since there is nothing left for me to use to fulfill mandates left, my influence gain doesn't exist. Granted I've won the game already, just wanted to see if I could take on the crisis, but I am so strapped for influence I can't expand to recover my economy (my federation went massive early, so I didn't have anyone to make a tributary. I have one intensely angry spirtualist faction that is ~20% of my pops, and then another 15% that is the now never to be happy unless the science nexus lets me catch up materialists.
Well given that influence has a baseline of +2, even if all your factions hate your guts, I don't really see how you can have an "influence gain [that] doesn't exist".
The two influence could be to the federation.
You need research agreements, 3 to be exact. They can be to empires with lesser tech. Also, be sure to keep curator buff up. With those 2 and not outlawing AI (and discovery traditions).
Anyone here with experience from The War in Heaven? Its year 32 and counting and after occupying the vassal planets both FE's are just sitting in their capital systems. Will they ever move?
Last time it happen I had to to lead an Allied force (about half of it was still me
) to take them out maybe they think the neutral team is too strong?

Not going to happen with all my planets occupied.
