Correction; I've reviewed the script for this event again, and a long as youre not the baddest mofo on the block it can return. Still not worth it.

By the way, when looking for a way to get the rest of the archivement, I found fast simple cheating way :( Never do that, or you wouldn't get anything besides the archivements. 1. Get a memory scanner. At the start of the game look for the minerals/energy slots. Remembr if you have 200 minerals, you should look for 200000-200999 numbers. EVERYTHING you look should be multiplied by 1000. Set at max (5k). You could fill them later again. 2. Stop the research, collect research points. Once they differ from 0 - do the same scan. Maximum research allowed to set is 2m, so place 2.000.000.000 (x1000). 3. Do same with unity, but sometimes it's not working from the first time. Jusr repeat. Same 2m value. Endless unity - all tradition. Hire Meticulous scientists, send them look for the anomalias. Hire +10 research scientists for the research. Technology ascendancy, Enigmatic engennering, +fleet. Any ascendacy, but genetic is best. Erudite trait. Look for the brainslug and alien box. Maximise your race first, set ALL positive traits you want WITH the brainslug. Open the AlienBox. Blue - live loger, Green - increased habitability (worthless IMO), red - strengh (+% minerals). Blue is best, since you leaders would live longer. AND NOW, you go for any archivement in Iron Man mode. i.gyazo.com/2331defc42a75224d5788c648a250503.jpg Maximum boost on science: i.gyazo.com/1f0292482e3442c4c6dae48d7a95eac6.jpg

ps., there's anoter bug. Repeated techs considered to be single, once it comes for the vassal relations. So it worths creating a 1 planet vassal, once you start repeating technologies. Vassal have the same techs at the start, but you share the techs, and receive 30% boost on the repeated techs, even if you are way ahead of him, his lvl2 repeated tech would be considered same technology as your decired lvl21. Free +30% boost from a 1 planet uplifted vassal. Take a note on that.

thought the cashe ship was like the whale probe from Star Trek when i saw the notification. after watching the video it still seems like it is, because it can slow down your research speed and that can lead to another empire getting a Colossus first, at which point you may as well get ready for an Exterminatus aimed right at your empire.

@davidk1308 6 жыл бұрын

I got it last night and it uplifted my species, it was great. As if my Empire wasn't OP enough xD Edit: I didn't know the enigmatic cache only uplifted "weak" species, I was superior in tech to I think most of them, and I definitely was superior in fleet power.

@icecold1805 6 жыл бұрын

Someone mentioned the video was wrong. The cache will sipmly not help the STRONGEST of them all, and since the cache also counts Falle Empires, its likely you can be selected for the cache.

@steveknight8001 5 жыл бұрын

Edit: Was about to make a post about inaccuracies in the video and then saw your "correction" post. :p Today, I just happened to be using a species that had BOTH "Intelligent" and "Quick Learners" and I was lucky enough to get the best ascension outcome: +10% to all research AND +25% bonus to leaders. What isn't really specified in the video is that you get ALL your species trait points refunded, so even though I can no longer equip Intelligent and Quick Learners (not compatible with the Uplifted trait), I can now use my 3 trait points to buff traits instead. Now keep in mind, I got lucky with the best possible outcome, but I would definitely say I came out ahead with the best reward. My species now has Psionic (+10% Research, +5% Happiness), Uplifted (+10% Research, +25% Leader XP), Traditional (+10% Unity to all Jobs), and Sedentary (more expensive resettlement, but who cares about that?). So my species has basically "ascended" twice over now, which is as awesome as it sounds. Not bad at all if you ask me.

@kuronanestimare 6 жыл бұрын

This video is incorrect actually. You do not have to be the Weakest, just not the Strongest Empire (the Enigmatic Cache also counts Fallen Empires.) Furthermore, Uplifted and Erudite stack IF you mod Erudite in when the project is available but before you start the research. However, you do not get Leader Bonuses from Uplifted and Erudite simultaneously. This is as of patch 2.1.3

So I watched this video, and low and behold an hour later I have the cache contact me. At first I was like, Oh dang. I didn't realize I was doing so badly. I had just conquered the 3 closest empires to me, and was feeling about ready to hit the next one. Then I looked at all the other empires, and they are all pathetic or inferior. Even the fallen empire. Thus I am confused on how this thing chooses it's targets. My entire empire is made up of droids aside from a couple core planets. So maybe this affected it somehow. My species is also the least populous in the galaxy. Again because Droid. My empire had 3 times the population of the empire in 2nd.

@jaydonium 6 жыл бұрын

Oh, turns out it's bugged.I opted to let it do it's thing and I can no longer interact with it in anyway. It says it needs a science ship, but there's no area to interact with it. It's very likely that because I just wiped out an empire that it was headed to that empire, but since they are gone it defaulted to talking to their new overlord.

I use it to level up admirals. Attack the cache, find it's two beloved teleport systems. put some fleets there and it would loop between systems endlessly, providing admiral with 5xp every time. A bit of time, firing some bad admirals, and you would have max level desired admirals (+20% speed, +10% weapon range).

Two fleets, with Cache jumping between them. Every fleet admiral would get 5ex after each cache jump. Admirals obtain second perk on 3-6 lvl, usually. Once you have 3 admirals with proper perks at lvl10/MAXlvl, you just disband one fleet. Yet, have to tell, leaders perks are a bit buggy. Especially brainslug.

@randomuser2461 5 жыл бұрын

I think the point is to get uplifted and stack maximum research bonuses. Does anyone know the id to activate it with a console. I know event distar.2050 is to spawn the enigmatic cache in the universe, but is there a way to spawn the event to get a chance to become uplifted? I think the name Baldor is backwards for Rod Lab. I'm not sure what this is a reference too as far as the name. Is this really a reference to star trek though. It's similar to the movie craft, but I wonder if there aren't other refrences. Also, I think it leaves the +30% bonus to the last planet it visted before coming to you. I have a game where it left a bonus on before coming to my capital world to uplift me. I think it might be a glitch though. Are you sure you can't get erudite first and then get it applied on top of it? I think I've seen people mention it can be mixed at max bonus somehow. It would help as it lets you max out bonus to exp for maxing out a scientist fleet. Edit: I just used cheats to apply uplift after getting erudite and it didn't remove it. it may be doable.
