No farming Districts once food livestock is obtained as you can't start with two livestock species, only minerals from Lithoids *as the end goal* along with the little from the systems themselves so no mining districts, megastructres or stations with nebula refiners. If I do a true challenge run of this in the future I will ensure not to get minerals from the systems either. This wasn't really a challenge run so the rules were pretty loose with this all, but basically the goal was to subsist on livestock as much as possible! Sadly all of that would make a pretty terrible title so this should explain all o'that.. Hope you all enjoy the video! This is by FAR the most taxing in term of just sheer time of any of the full playthroughs I have made for the channel so hope It turned out well enough! :D

"Sir, we're ready to revive a long extinct species that hasn't been in the galaxy for a million years." "Excellent work, do you think they would go well with a garlic sauce?"

Now we just need energy beings like the unbidden to finish the set

Imagine the other empires buying all this cheap food from the galactic market.

"Oh, these ones aren't too bad." Said the slave-driving empire, on the subject of a treaty banning slavery, xenocide, and warfare.

Livestock: Consumes 1 food, produces 10. Thermodynamics: Wait that’s against the law.

Materialist Empire: hey, we found your ancient books! Spiritualist Empire: Wow thank- Spiritualist Empire: ... In the background, the leader of the materialist empire is burning the books. Spiritualist Empire: Declare War

"free range livestock" oh god im dying....that was great...

Our ships are made only from the finest free-range livestock corpses!

Lathrix has it ever occurred to you that your lithoid ships aren't made out of lithoids it's that they are lithoids just much larger ones

Galactic Stock Exchange is now live! Livestock exchange, to be precise. We're selling food. To the galaxy. A galactic livestock exchange. 1:00:09

Would you think about doing a playthrough where you use the "Three crises happen simultaneously" mod?? Obviously dont set them to happen as early as you did this game (i mean maybe you can how ballsy are you feeling??) But, like something you mentioned this playthrough, while you have fleets that hard counter the crisis they are actually kinda trash as far as general ships go. If all crises happened you wouldnt be able to have "bad" ship designs but they hard counter the only threat in the game, you'd have to make "good" ships. Also the crises always seem to be a little on the weak side in these games, partially because youre way better at the game than you used to be and partially because of the hard counter. TL:DR try the all crises happen simultaneously mod! Could be cool :)

"They're free range livestock." Says the man who has them optimized to use like ten percent the normal housing :P

Slave meats? ✔... Slaves veggies? Check✔.... Slaves minerals? Check✔..... Where's is slaves energy? PARADOX DLCs team:( breathe heavily)

I see. So it's a more interesting way to play a devouring swarm.

54:40 this whole moving pops off a world reminds me of some worlds the scientist find where a civilization once thrived but then suddenly vanished.

Just keep selling the meat of the xenos, to the Xenos.

Shooting the caravan was so evil...And I liked it!

Coming home after a hard day's work to a Lathrix Lithoids Extravaganza yet again! What a time to be alive! Now, gimme that serotonin! :P

Man, I missed watching these Stellaris videos of yours, I should get back to watching them again. I remember doing all those lore comments for them and how much people liked them. Hell, it makes me tempted to ask to do a roleplay empire with someone and write a whole narrative. I think that could be rather interesting, since I always considered Stellaris to be more of a civilization RPG than a strategy game. (it's obviously a strategy game, but I just like thinking it as an RPG more)

Found your channel recently and I've been watching your videos fully for the past week now

Day 12? 11 maybe? I lost track. Lets say its 12. You guys are all awesome! Im glad to be apart of this community.

5:00 Lathrix: thrall world are not thrall worlds but will be thrall worlds when we get thrall worlds Im good at explaining things XD Next time just say something something something Darkside something something complete we will instantly understand 👌🏿

Thank you man, great video:) R.i.p. Reginald:(

That was a cool idea I will have to try something similar, I am doing a run with syncretic that will also have heavy robot use for double the servant base.

I don’t know if you saw my last comment but I love to use the livestock method in combination with worrier culture to make Insane fleet power

One of my favorite ways i used to play is a xenophobic egalitarian militarist. And only got food from live stock. I will be playing around with this.

Thanks for the great vids keep it up.

like, love, and breath heavy waiting for more content

Love your Terratec videos

that feel good feeling after you have just devoured a planet ahhhhhhhhhh noice….

Loved the video!

As an alternative to thrall worlds, you can go for ecumenopolis worlds. They provide a 50% increase to pop growth speed, as good as the bonus on thrall worlds, which can be split between growing standard pops and livestock pops. You can end up with city planets that PRODUCE more food and minerals than they consume. With livestock only taking up 0.25 housing, and city planets having an abundance of housing, this is easier than you might think. And with all the clerk jobs that city planets produce, they can be energy positive too. The only things your ecumenopolis worlds will actually consume are motes, gas, and crystals.

For a modded playthrough, have you though about using the NCS mod? It adds a whole bunch of new ship types. Add in the Extra Ship Components mod, and ship building is on a whole other level.

Looking at a terravore run with the following rules: Arid homeword. Can only colonize 16+ worlds with 100% habitation. Must consume all other worlds ASAP and leave them dead. Must eat Gaia worlds (just because it's wrong).

Minerals and food, sounds a bit Rock n Roll.

Thank you lathrix We all wanted to see... something cruelty (?) and you win with it

An interesting playthough idea could be a one where you limit the number of systems you can own to a certain small amount and after every ~50 years the number of these "enclaves" can be increased by 1.

Day one of asking for the return of From the Depths Also, you were incredibly lucky with the planets. My latest play through I had no planets for light years

For the final month of 2020, Lathland becomes god and enslaves the universe

The thought of eating another sapient creature is disgusting and terrifying and I love it.

Long overdue comment for the algorithm, though I imagine it's moot at this point. It's my first time watching this particular video I think. Please don't eat me Mr. Blob sir, I taste terrible.

Well lathrix you had good start for once Doesn’t matter that you had 12 bad starter play throughs

Hey! Very nice playtrough! One day, it would be nice if you try a playtrough with Zenith of Fallen Empire, it's a relay good mod who change a lot of things in terms of gameplay, new ships, new techs news buildings... and an ascension perk incredibly powerful! You could make a very nice video with it!

I'm wondering if you've seen Many A True Nerd's "Impossible Run".

This empire is basically a more sustainable devouring swarm

guild slavers for energy, lithoid for minerals, organic for food, bio ascension for maximum profit slavery

So this is basically the civilized version of the devouring swarm. nice.

lathrix. you might want to revisit kingdoms and castles again. not immediately but the big ai rivals update is coming up soon. the game has changed a lot since you last did a series on it

Even the bloodgod himself is yelling to end this madness... but lathrix do not care as the bloodgod drowns in blood of countless sentian beings go to the slaughterhouse... But like lathrix says... good guys!

1:47:04 I just know how to destroy things this made me uncontrollably belly laugh 😂

IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!

Empire idea "The Rocks of Khorn"

Lathrix, you really need to play with the mod automatic migration. It really makes life easier when worlds start to fill with pop 😉

Omg the way you say thrall. "Thrauw"

Have you ever considered playing Stellaris with exceedingly difficult survival conditions but fairly weak mid-game and end-game crisis? It’s fun to see you struggle to survive instead of being perfectly stable just building strength hoping to beat the end game. (PS I love the content you’ve been putting out. Best of luck in your chaotic irl happenings)

" **Evil laughter** Consider yourselves terminated." LMAO JFC I FEEL AWFUL FOR LAUGHING SO MUCH

You should do a fanatic xenovile playthrough. Also keep up the good work

Doing this with Necroids will be GLORIOUS! With Genetics, of course.

Are you ever going to revisit Avorion?

Hey Lathrix, why don't you go back to Robocraft as it has everything almost back to what it was originally before they messed with the ranking system

Do you make a other Session of avorion

What if you did a playthrough where you set all the difficulty sliders on max? That would be absolute CHAOS

1:14:40 you are showing your righteous citizens that the Zeno livestock are nothing compared to your military might and tenacity

Can you play as the best possible empire for you, I want to know your favorite empire type.

Lathland I think the expression is actually "Sapient Species .... Potato"

23:10 hatred is the Emperor's gift to Hu.... to the Blob.

Lath... _Auto-trading?_ What new spore of madness is this?

This empire selling food is just them shipping out tanks of Soylent Green

1:16:58 you May fire when ready

In thrall worlds you can make livestock take livestock jobs instead of toilers if you favourite the livestock job.

I would try to do something like this myself, but for some reason Stellaris has begun refusing to load my DLCs at all.

Oh Lathrix, the most adorable sociopath.

Lol... if only the lithoid colossus just turned the planet into a giant lithoid

hello, thank you for introducing me to terra tech!!!! thanks very much. and how can you be unemployed when you are lunch

Imagine future empire 's finding the area of the galaxy where the scourge was and seeing all the broken planets

you should try too solely rely on trade value (It is difficult)

I have challange for you. I call it: NO RESEARCH CHALLANGE!!!! (Ohhh yeah!) Rules: 1)You can NOT research any technologies through Tech interface. 2) You can gain tech through special projects (and anomalies), from fallen empires, caravaneers etc. 3) You can use megastructures, research districts, research stations, blackhole observatory, research buildings etc. Goals (you don't have to complete them all): 1) Survive at least 200 years. 2) Survive the end game crisis. 3) Have habitat as your capital. 4) Kill leviathan. (L-gate dragons do not count) 5) Have ecumenopolis (not relic world) or ring world as your capital. Options: Have galaxy at least small.

Super micromanagement needed? Where do I sign?

Blob, and the syncretic species, Blobn't

the great empire of xenophage

Anyone know when gonna play from the depths again

10 starting planets in 1 sector as AI start is too OP

Free range you said hmmm interesting

Anyone know how to fix a broken save? My game keeps crashing at the exact same date every time i try playing

Do you stream?

lathland when you play the game do you allow refugees into your empire or do you find they add too much micromanagement?

What naming list for your species are you using

The scourge taking more than 20 minutes to erradicate? Who are you and what did you do with the real Lathrix?!

"Still not a huge fan of us though", Lath says at +125 opinion. Meanwhile, in my most recent playthrough, I was consistently at like -4000 opinion with everyone.

All hail the blobs, our saviors, our rulers, and our saints. Never question the blobs, for the blobs are life, the blobs are love, the blobs are our saving light from this decrepit word.

he protec he atac but most importantly... he wont give your planet bac...

I dont imagine rocks are delicious but leave it to the Blobs to do so.

"Thrahl worlds"

RIP Reginald

Can you play from the depths again

I've never tried this do live stock loose pops every so often or do they grow slower? Or What?

What does Lathrix always say in the beginning - "Greetings and _____"?

You should play more factorio

I miss from the depths
