I agree, but making it imperfect perk was far important issue in my opinion. No limit on FE buildings make them best in every field empire can do. Now at least they have some form of weakness.

Given that pops in Wilderness works differently, has this been tested with Wilderness as well? Just asking, because I had to restart 4 times my Wilderness campaign due to patches breaking everything (which is expected, you're doing a great job fixing things!) and since it wouldn't be outlandish to have to start over again, I want to make sure to be able to build the Grand Archive.
Thanks!
Looks great actually missed having the faster save transfer,
Not sure high performance ranks against things like oos but any chance someone has looked into the species portraits being a big lag source.
Also a q on long term slow down, is there an obvious cause for it or is it a bunch of subtle things that are just snowballing atm?
Maybe I'm just uniquely annoying but they seemed perfectly willing to attack me over it, even when I wasn't destroying reality.
But, personally I like that it's worth taking even if you're not actively destroying everything and fighting everyone. It's the variety of ways I can use it that actually make me want to use it more. If they make it necessarily aggressive I don't think I'd bother with it outside of when I'm already bent on extermination.

Or be cosmogenesis and gain it via regular research after appropriate crisis level. I was first critical toward the idea of making the tech repeatable, but I suppose this is a lesser evil in terms of game balance.
I agree and Ive been saying this for a long time. Empire opinion needs to be tied to crisis level more than just the Lathe, in my opinion. And I would love if there was some in-game explanation given to the hostility, like empires contacting you and saying that they don't trust us or that we "dabble in forces we don't understand" etc. Some flavorful way of explaining *why* the other empires start to dislike us.

I tend to find that while the AI hates me they are so weak they never do anything. I do think that inherent to a crisis path you should be seen as one by the whole galaxy and that should be part of the challenge. For cosmogenesis the crisis aspect is that you're messing with reality in ways that can cause untold destruction across the galaxy, but mechanically you don't have to do that more than once and the AI negative opinions are flat from being a crisis empire and using the lathe (which you don't even need to use). Just like with Galactic Nemesis I think the galaxy should see you as an existential threat and there should be a challenge to having to deal with that at higher levels, with AITs tied more closely to progression.
This is why I think the applied infinity thesis should be tied more closely to progression. As it stands you have to do it once and that's it, and there's no real reason to do it again since there's better ways to get advanced logic. Making you change reality in dangerous ways fits the theme and the mechanics.

i thought about something for the building like the nanite transmuter and the fe empire strategic ressource build : instead of giving few ressources like they do now, why not making them give this few ressources +x amount per district built? You can also increase the energy upkeep by the number of districts. Like that they still give fewer ressources than jobs but are still usefull on planet that will not be producing them in large quantity.
also giving an auto minor artifact use on artifact actions could be cool since right now arcane deciphering has become really important.

I want to say that quite literally everyone's reaction to the FE building changes seems to be in agreement with me, both in the subreddit and the forum .15 announcement.
I don't want to sound to mean but people like you actively make this community worse, and I don't think you're even trying to. Yes, the devs are people and deserve support but such blatant echo chamber voices like you build makes it really hard for them to actually gauge whether a negative opinion on a suggestion is worthwhile or meaningless.
Please really strongly consider whether the opinions you are putting forward is reasonable, because people like you are the ones who most often speak in the forums and thus the most exposure to the team, and I cannot emphasize enough how horribly terribly dangerous this is. This is a change that absolutely should have be shot in the crib and has not been; now they will have to spend even more time reverting it.
Anyway, I tried. Thanks for an honest conversation regardless.

I’ve had plenty of chats with people that agree with me that it’s not the end of the world. There’s plenty of stuff I criticise, and honestly jumping to “you’re making the community worse” is just wishful thinking on your part to dismiss any opinion that isn’t your own. Don’t see how you can say that and then brush it off with a “thanks for an honest conversation”.
For the record I’m quite ambivalent if it stays like this or goes. I don’t think the sky is falling with the current systems and I’ve offered constructive criticism on how I think cosmo should be changed and FE buildings should be buffed. Those opinions don’t let you pat yourself on the back though for being special while dismissing those who disagree with you as creating echo chambers.
Honestly you could have just left it mate. We disagreed and that was it.

I'd wager on them just already having the research for it, I think they have every tech equivalent to the "research all technologies" command with some added repeatable too. This is just my guess though.
I thought a same, but then i remembered quote from wiki:
Sounds like you can't build/will lose it when you try to build it. Or wiki oversimplified the explanation.The Synaptic Lathe has no defenses and immediately surrenders if an enemy fleet enters orbit. The megastructure will be disabled if the occupying empire does not have theCosmogenesis ascension perk. If the system is completely occupied, the megastructure is destroyed.

Hmmm interesting. maybe awakened empire are set up to take cosmo then.
I donno about the subreddit, but it doesn't appear that "literally everyone" is agreeing with you here. Clearly I must be missing something so can you help me out here.

Its not lore-breaking, since Fallen empires already got that tech.
But it is a balance issue because it doesn't feel like a crisis, but is super-strong. We need to fix the part why it doesn't feel like a proper crisis. A crisis where nobody hates you or that you can counteract the negative opinion out somehow is no real "crisis".
note that this is perfectly fine - In a SINGLEPLAYER game.
