You can get Virtual Civilians, but not Virtuality Civilians. The former is Synthetics => Virtual path, which gives them the Virtual trait (-90% housing!) but makes them assemble as normal. For best results, use with a Materialist MegaCorp.

its actually a super strong build with the synthetic fatality origin since the science boost effects civil education and maybe utopian abundance but im not sure.

synthetic fatality origin
hehe, fatality

but this sounds interesting! i never actually got around to doing synthetic fertility, the rapidfire updates kept throwing other interesting builds at me so i never sat down and did it despite really wanting to. now though, i've got a great reason to do it. virtual synth fertility utopian abundant civil education sounds awesome. thanks!
 
Virtual Empires are against chat bots.
Tell that to my social media focused individualist machine virtual megacorp empire....The Algorithm.

sad. why would i go to the trouble of uploading my whole society in my utopia if they can't spend their time putzing around :(
They do that in cyberspace. There's no need for them to interact with the real world while they do so, and no need to do real science except as a means of self defense. Hence, no civilian science.

And, of course, gestalts just don't have excess drones at all; no need, so there are no maintenance drones.



In general, though... you can have civilians. They just have to be non-Virtual civilians (biological pops or physically assembled robot/machine pops that you choose not to assimilate).

I'm pretty sure the Virtuality Policy does not boost UA. Also, if you're stacking civilians it's better to be a megacorp (Computation Core Policy) than to run Civil Education. I suppose if you become the emperor you could do both...

It's a bit perverse that a Megacorp gives the best civilians. If anything it should be the opposite.

Alas, Corporate Sovereign lets you take MC civics as a non-MC, but it doesn't let you do the inverse.
