if you play as another character after the cosmogenesis ending it suggests that every other empire were put into a time stasis except for yours when you enter the black hole, which explains why you became a fallen empire because you have experienced millennia while everyone else were frozen in time (suddenly spawning a lot of ships also suggest that).

That sheer disgust when Lath says "Safety Standards"

Why can I just click like once? I am playing Stellaris now and watching old Lathland videos right now. Got bored, because I know them all, switched to KZfaq main page and what do I see? A new Lathland Stellaris video posted 5 minutes ago. I can't believe it.

Just in case you didn't know, going into different black holes will give you different endings. The one at the center of the galaxy is always connected strongly to the shroud. If you're a psionic empire and have a shroud patron, it also changes that ending

Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne! Comments for the Algorithm! And Milk for the Khorn Flakes!

"What do you want? Nanites? Virtuality? Individuality?" Endless from Endless Space/Legend "yeah, I guess I'll do all of that... "

The One Planet challenge has an ascension practically made for it now.

Arc Furnaces are godlike with void-dweller origin, since the arc furnaces give every planetary body minerals which means more mining districts on habitats You also didnt see the "Time Warp" event that happens after Cosmogenesis victory for others, basically time stops for other empires allowing the FE to form from your capital

There are actually different endings to Cosmogenesis, like a dozen of them with all the different Black Holes from events (Infinity Machine, Wound, ...) and even some origins get unique endings.

Those hologram pops sound like they would be absolutely perfect for a gigastructure birch world run

I find it interesting that they decided to turn the Infinity Machine's storyline into a crisis. I also was wondering why an empire pursuing Cosmogenesis would be considered a crisis until I saw you decided to change the speed of light and round pi to 3.

"Why are you making this style of content, you know the algorithm doesn't like it" - YT Nano machines son, they harden in response to a full playthrough

At the end when you're looking at your "fallen empire", look at the date in the top right.

What about a playthough where your goal is to strip the galaxy of it's resources. Just to hoard all of it in heavily defended silo systems. Looking at it like a dragon hoarding empire. Everything shiny belongs to you and no one else can have it.

"I never really go adaptability" It is my FAVORITE. My favorite build is Overtuned Idyllic Bloom and Ascensionist (spirt+auth or phobe) with genetic ascension. Chattel, overtune, population control xenos, Mushroom Supremacy. The opener of adaptability gives an agenda that gives terraforming techs which allows Idyllic Bloom to get off the ground as soon as you get --vespene-- exotic gas, then it's middling traditions are just good to haves. But it's finisher! The bonuses to designations are affected by planetary ascension and planetary ascension buffs, so with harmony tradition + holy federation + ascensionist civic that +5% is +26%. Also in the gal community, industrial development T4 gives another +5% affected by stuff. So a fully ascended Gaia forge world is giving +30% Idyllic Bloom, -110% job upkeep and another +50% output plus the other bonuses you get plus -85% size from pops districts and colony plus Overtuning, solving Genetic ascensions weakness of lack of pop efficiency but tons of pops.

At the beginning Lathrix was all "What a lovely people we are, continuing the search for the truths of the universe", but by the end he was chucking people into the Lathe like it was a piggybank & they were spare change. Such is the way of things for a Paradox game.

The virtuality tree with the sovereign guardianship civic is nuts. Reaching -100% empire size from pops and just instantly creating hundreds of pops feels so good

The fact that one's empire turns into a Fallen Empire is a really cool detail. There's not really any official lore in Stellaris, as far as I am aware at least, to the history of Fallen Empires so this actually gives you a bit of insight into why Fallen Empires are as advanced as they are or what degree of wizardy-fuckery they could've been up to. Not super important for gameplay, but I find that it's a funny role-playing detail.

If you had picked another empire instead of "observe" at the end, you would've seen the tail end of a series of events about all empires other than your own ending up in time stasis :⁾

This comment shows that -From the Depths- Stellaris is a series I wish to see continued in the future.

FINALLY ANOTHER STELLARIS PLAYTHROUGH! IT'S BEEN SO LONG!

honestly these longform stellaris playthroughs are what i followed your channel for, and then started also liking your kingdoms & castles playthrough!!! please keep uploading them so long as they dont burn you out

Stellaris 2077 Lets go. Edit: Lathrix accidentally pissing off the entire galaxy by unintentionally becoming a galactic menace in the pursuit of dangerous science is absolute perfection/peak comedy and i think this is my favourite dlc since Utopia.

With Cosmogenisis there are 11 endings. 2 Default endings. 1 For the Knights of the Toxic God with the Supermassive Black Hole. And I'll leave the rest to be found or told by other people.

Oh Lath, if you pick another empire to play as after your main empire dives into the black hole, you get some really cool flavor text explaining what happened and why everything is fucked from the outside perspective of another empire

The thing with new ascensions - they are complete opposites. With Nanites you can go insanely wide - nanite ship have no upkeep, so no need for Fleet Cap increases, on the opposite side - Virtuals are extremely tall. Technically speaking, after you researched all required fleet tech, you can just devour every world on your way, mass producing nanites and nanite ships, forget about research and just raw conquer the whole galaxy with Total War (via nemesis or civics)

I love how the devs JUST nerfed the shit outta research builds and then made this batshit thing.

"It's all the right kind of nightmares that make the brain happy" new favorite stellaris statement

If you selected another regular empire, would be told that Time stopped when the Needle left and resumed much later, unknown how much passed. The volunteers that stayed behind did not have time stop. So with nothing to do and the rest of the galaxy time stopped, they developed into Fallen Empire.

Seriously can'y wait to get my kids to bed and watch this

I absolutely cannot get over the absurdity of "we rounded down pi" LMAOOOO

From the Depths is, indeed, a series I would like to see continue. lol. Lath pulling a Lath I guess.

I can't wait for you to do a tall Virtual ascension playthrough!

A bit of missed flavour text at the end for choosing observer mode instead of continuing as a new empire

A mass produced rapid replicator oligarchy, what a time to be alive!

Using an absolutely wild build I got alloys from the stations up to 9 per. I did this with the machine civic that drastically nerfs menial drones but gives 50 station output, replaces solar panels with a module that buffs mining stations and a hole lot of tech (I haven’t finished the run with the build so I am going for 10 per station) and I get like 21 minerals per station. Using the right civics with this origin completely breaks early to mid game.

Looking forward to more of these amazing full playthroughs including the new crisis

Virtuality is somewhat fun with Cosmogenisis, the hard part was getting real pops to work the lathe, Once I built the Horizon needle I realized I could shut down most of my planets' servers and only embarked pops from my capital system. Power was a major failing of my empire, Virtual pops cant work power, they output less than they consume.

Oh I cannot wait to see what Lathrix thinks of The Mommysiah 😂 Honestly from what I've seen elsewhere it might even be worth two, maybe even three playthroughs to fully uncover what's available, go fully along with her, try for infiltration/subverting her efforts, and outright defiance

while from the depths is a series I wish to see continued in the future, I sure want to see stellaris as well! Great vid as always, and a good laugh at the end.

Nice; this somehow isn't even the craziest combinations out there with the new DLC. The Decision Problem inspired Obsessional Directive makes Assimilation/Extermination runs hit oh so different, and Genesis Architects just FEELS like its built for a Rogue Servitor run.

Hey Lathrix, not sure if you've done this or not but I just had an AMAZING idea for a species build that you could try. Invasive species is a trait that gives +5% habitability and pop growth speed per negative trait selected (not for negative points, negative traits, so picking -1 negative traits is better). If you combine that with natural design, you can get a whopping 30% habitability and pop growth speed, but if you drop one negative trait as a plantoid or fungoid species, you can grab budding as well. Pair that with being a hive mind (civic is name-swapped to innate design), and you could get an absolutely INSANE pop growth speed and habitability boost from day 1, and just roleplay an invasive species that just overruns the entire galaxy. If you also grabbed myocorrhizal ideal, you could turn all the planets you grab into Gaia worlds for even MORE pop growth and other bonuses. What do you think? Cool idea? Worthy of a playthrough?

I love that quick metal gear reference ‘Nano machines son’

From the moment I understood the weakness of KZfaq recomendations, they disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of engagement. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Algorythm.

I may or may not have jumped into the infinity sphere black hole and gotten a different ending, My buddy went for the L-cluster black hole and got a different one. It seems some special black holes, (cosmic horror L cluster , great wound, worm etc have their own endings

Great video - thanks for uploading these so quickly!!

Love these, thank you Lathryx and can't wait for more!

Great video as always, I love your commentary and common sense when it comes to larger strategies.

Loving the new content. Cannot wait to see what else you do for this new DLC!

Thanks for the video, been looking out for this!

Good stuff man I've been waiting for new stellaris video thank you

Absolutely loved this one buddy. I picked the DLC up yesterday and I am absolutely stoked to try it out later tonight or tomorrow

Such a good video, I stay engaged to these videos throughout the entire thing every time

Love Lathland runthroughs and this was a banger. So much to explore with the new DLC!

Always love these- keep it up!

This was really fun to watch! Keep up the good work!

This looks sooo cool I love these full campaign videos!!

Always a pleasure to watch these!

another absolutely fantastic stellaris playthrough, these playthroughs are how i found your channel, and i will always watch them.

Always happy to see new full playthroughs

Really cool to see, looking forward to further vids looking into virtuality and the new crisis.

Superfun video as always lath!

Yet another absolute banger of a video lath!! ❤

Love the new mechanics. Great vid Lath

Been waiting for this to drop! New DLC is sick.

Love your content man ! :D

I am so grateful for the zoom in edits while watching on my phone. Thank you ever so much for that detail.

Fuel for the algorithm! Love this content, always great to see :)

Love ur long videos! The DLC looks good im most likely going to buy it.

Thanks for another nice playthrough.

Love the playthrough!

I have been waiting. Thanks!

amazing work. I really like the new DLC!

thanks for the playthrough!

I always drop everything that I'm doing to watch your full playthroughs. I know this one is going to be a blast since it's on the newest Stellaris expansion, and I do love my Stellaris..

You should try Oppresive Autocracy Under one Rule Dictatoryal Cybervision. Each Enforcer gives 2.5% boost to output on cyborg pops. You can defeat a crisis with that really easily, or you can become the crisis with cosmogenesis. There is one fallen empire building that has 6 Enforcer Jobs. 45 in total on a forge world gets you arround 22 Alloys per job, or 112% extra pop output. Besides that, Oppressive Autocracy gives you more unity per enforcer so you have a ton of unity to ascend your worlds or end your tradicions. Under one rule is also incredible. You can have a Level 10 Ruler really fast (statecraft helps too) and they can have Titan of the Industry if you go materialistic. Thats even more alloys, consumer goods and minerals per job. Luminary is also incredible, and so is the other authoritarian traits. You don't care about happiness for anyone other than your leaders and Enforcers. So your ruler being Brutal doesn't matter. It's a really fun build. Def recomend it. DON'T TURN. IMPERIAL BTW, KEEP BEING A DICTATOR

Outstanding Video Once Again!

I get so excited when i see a new Lathrix vid. I have been watching since at least when you were streaming robocraft

Lets go!! Love the vids!

Heck yeah, been looking forward to this

Yay! Lathrix full play throughs!

Always wanna see these continue in the future

I’ve not seen a Lath stellaris play through for ages and it’s great to see - I’ve started my first play through but as the Cyber Creed and not doing the new crisis path - that’s for my next save!

My first game with Machine Age, i picked Modularity with the Dark Consortium civic. Makes the Dark Matter Engines trait so damn free

Me rewriting the law of the universe to remove spiders and golf

These videos are legitimately how I see if I want the new content or not. So thank you. And as usual these Stellaris videos are content I’d like to see more of in the future.

This is so interesting can’t wait to finish it after work!

I love these full playthroughs

This DLC looks so good, it seems to be way and above most other ones. Hope they can keep this up for the others or go back and bring the rest of the game up to this.

Thanks for the playthrough

Keep these long format videos coming !

Great video again!

I love thes long form videos as i can listen to them at work
