Which of the new Biogenesis Origins & Civics (and Traits, and so on) can the AI use well?
I'm looking to update my presets and I want some decent competition.

As far as I can tell it can't use wilderness at all. It will not build any of the unique buildings or districts. Which is all of them.

I threw some genocidal empires in a few games and found lithoid /terravore / calamitous birth does pretty good. Wilderness swarm and machine exterminators both died before I met them. Driven assimilators and mechanists did decent for themselves.
Genocidals might've gotten unlucky and spawn in the wrong spot.
They need a little bit of a good early game to start snowballing.
In my current game I had a big Terravore AI empire (about 1/6 of a 800 star galaxy, strongest fleet in the galaxy), which tripped over waking up the Khan in 2280.
The AI does fine with anything that avoids the new biological pop growth mechanics specifically. It has 0 idea how they work and I have no idea how this wasn't implemented.
Not a new civic, but I find repeatedly that the AI is less bad when using the Beast Master civic.

Probably the faction research thing civic, the AI picks rubbish traditions anyway so might as well tech.
