Or using to little promethium

While I loathe to use a xenos term, when it comes to Exterminatuses (Exterminatii?) promethium is like dakka: You can't ever have enough.

When after some count of prefixes your high-super-cyber-hyper-creatures are getting confused about their origins.

Speaking of interesting species, how about this perfect species: All the (fully helpful) advanced genetic traits, Psionic, Cyborg, Uplifted (starborn), and then Numistic Administration, which of course put them to Gaia Pref, but at that point they were negative points so I couldn't fix it (not that ti mattered, between Cyborg and Robust)

Is this the right place to post someone else's screenshot of something that isn't Stellaris?

Asking because YES, that's exactly what I think ... while playing Stellaris.

I posted this in a seperate thread in 2019 as I couldn't find this thread back then but figured I could post it here as it still gives me a chuckle.

Behold! The Master Thieves of the Galaxy who stole the Rubricator right front of my mighty fleet!

AI diplomatic weights are sometimes nonsensical.
I'd argue a random process like the dice rolled for AI decisions is inherently nonsense, and any sense -- any pattern -- is added by the player, an interpretation of random events which creates signal from noise, like shapes seen in the flames of a bonfire.
 
Decided to fire up the old 4X after a while, wasn't long before the weirdness popped up.

Ultrapacifist democratic criminal trees and two preset Sol-based empires in the same game. Gotta love it.

They may as well build a space tunnel that goes between the two.

How did you get Gas Giant Moons?

Gas Giants have a pretty well established minimum Size and mass. Wich are both a few orders of magnitude to big for becomming a moon.

Ice giant moons are theoretically possible if the parent planet is big enough. Kepler-1625b I, for example, is about Neptune's mass and orbits a planet with several Jupiter-masses.

As for this Stellaris system? There's a known issue where the use of "rl_unhabitable_normal" in scripting an uninhabited planet produces gas giants or Infested Worlds where they wouldn't normally occur. Better to use "random_non_colonizable" instead.
