Commenting so that Lathrix can continue to do whatever brings happiness. Lathrix: I am a terrible player Also Lathrix: has beat x25 crisis with the earliest spawning date possible on grand admiral and could reasonably do it again.

Regular person looking at at titan: “Dan that’s a big gun! Latherix: “But it could be bigger.”

Honestly the Alderson disk is more impressive than the birch world simply because you get more of a sense of scale, with a birch world all you know is infinite scalability. With and Alderson disk you can clearly see that each section has 15 districts, with each district producing a planet or more worth of resources. Which is insane but now you can properly imagine it

Just think about how "good guys" the stellar craft are, for a moment, see most of the time when you destroy civilizations in Stellaris there's at least some plausibility of an archeological record to be left behind even when you simply destroy the planets the debris would be left in the star's orbit, with these things, not only are you converting the planets and moons into ships, but the star as well, effectively removing the last trace of them from existence outside your own records.

Fun fact! (if I recall correctly) the stellar systemcraft has the skull-thing because its fleet power overflows... twice. It goes to the max 32bit integer limit (should be 2,147,483,647, again IIRC), then overflows to -2,147,483,648, goes back up to 2,147,483,647 and then some. It ought to be in the billions of fleet power which is plain ridiculous :D

*"Good science, science me smart, yes. **_Braain"_* ~Lathix

"It costs a lot of energy. Thankfully we have plenty of stuff to sell." * casually crashes the alloy market*

You really should get UI overhaul dynamic, as it allows you to actually see all the weapon slots on the larger ships in basically every mod out there.

The amount of effort that you put into these full playthroughs and longer videos is incredible. I have 800 hours in the game so know full well how long it can take, but to then take that time that you've already spent playing and to cut it down into a video that is enjoyable and engaging is amazing

Beginning of the video: "We will focus on taking enemy pops instead of the systems themselves, since we just need to fill jobs." End of the video: Neutron sweeps all enemy planets, exterminating all the pops. Shifting Paradigms in action.

I'm so glad you're featuring Stellaris full playthroughs with Gigastructures. Such absurdity!

In which the Sun really is a Deadly Laser

You really need to get another mod that gives you more ascension perk slots. It's almost impossible to play with giga engineering without that. Too many perks you need for the 8 slots in vanilla.

YES, Blessed with so many Stellaris videos lately, Thank you Lathrix

You can build megastructures that print moons and planets at no influence cost, just need to destroy some asteroids / moons / planets for mass. You can also disable the influence upkeep in the settings at the start of a playthough. In my last one i had 8 planetcrafts and i've run out of Culture-themed names for them that i could remember. The planetcraft have unique modules that can be fitted to them, that make them even more powerful, really need to install a UI-overhaul, might even be worth it for this playthrough. The devs of the mod keep a good google doc about all the structures and things if you want to learn from that rather than building.

Other youtubers: "this video is 24min. thats luxus!" Lathland: "im sorry, th wvideo is only 1h 15 min. i tried to put it all in one video but i couldnt ;_;. im sorry."

When the solar system craft took its first shot, I burst out into maniacal laughter

I rarely like doing so, but with gigastructures I've found the best playthrough is alloy rush into early empire building. Let there be big gaps in your empire, take their worlds, deal with the border gore. Science goes faster, economy obviously, and then at year 50 you can start focusing science/megastructures.

Usually Lathrix would own a lot more territory. Somewhat appreciate such an OP run where much of the galaxy is just doing it's own thing with occasional god-like power just wiping away a species without much of a thought to it.

Lathrix: I’m a terrible *Proceeds to easily destroy max difficulty empires* Me: I’m an alright player *Gets bodied by an uplifted empire on Civilian difficulty*

Thank you Lathrix for these playthroughs. I enjoy them immensely and watch every single one to the end despite their length. It’s just something of the long burn build up that I find so satisfying.

Alderson discs are absolutely insane and I love them.

Blessed with Stellaris! So glad that you returned to making these! Love these videos

One thing you can do with the massive ships that have too many weapon things to fit is use the "fill empty" to fill all the empty slots of a certain type. It allows you to quickly fill slots with what you want, since you can remove components more easily than placing them with all the clipping and overlapping. You can also use afterburners instead of shield capacitors for the speediest of planets and systems since they don't really need the extra shielding in most cases.

Now you literally have the power of God's on your side lol

These kinds of videos just keep fueling my love of these long empire games, it makes me so happy seeing Lathrix keep playing this awesome game and keeping it fresh with all the different empires and lore and mods, it’s great :) Keep doing what you love man!

always love to see these longer playthroughs. Anytime one comes out, it always gets me to play more of the game. Keep up the great stuff!

This was amazing. I see I've been missing out in my own playthroughs!

I love these full play throughs! Keep em’ comin Lathrix!

And yes Lathrix, Get a traditions extension and ascension perk extension mod. you will run out of traditions, but will still have to juggle ascension perks depending on if you double or triple the amount of ascension perks you can have at once. But the Up side even with giga structure ascension perks you can have more of the good things. Most games now I end up with most of the megastructure perks. It really helps verse the gigastructure crisises

absolutely love these big episodes or mini series! just really nice to pass the day along and enjoy different styles of stellaris play without having to watch a long form series

An hour of my happy place :) Thanks for the content, Lath

Love this man always happy to see another upload

Yesss another Lathrix video! Thank you Lathrix, love your Stellaris content!

Thank you for the video. Love these long form playthroughs.

The best part of this video was when he said “what would gravity be doing here?” And a cartoon image of a guy in fetal position rocking back and forth having a panic attack screaming “ EVERYTHING IS FINE!” at the top of their lungs. XD

Love seeing that this mod adds my favorite giga structure ever lol well I know what why next playthrough is going to be using

Oh, if i remember correctly, a systemcraft can kill off about twice the number of attack moons and planetcraft it takes to make it in one go. Maybe more. Aside from superweapons like the dyson beam, it's the strongest thing in giganstructures. Apart from the hunters. Probably need a couple of systemcraft to fend those lads off.

Love the video, wonderful background noise while having to clean, and always entertaining when I’m giving it my full attention.

I'll be taking notes. I love the creative ways Lathrix approaches the game, and finally I can see how he handles gigastructures :D

I just want to say your Stellaris videos are my favorite for the game. Easily digestible and always entertaining. Haven't made it very far into the video yet, but I do suggest a mod that addes some ascension perk slots with megastructures. I use one that adds 4 slots. Plus, I get to use some less used perks that aren't considered "meta" for fun.

I do so love these long form videos where you edit down an entire playthrough into a single (or few) hours worth of content. It's great stuff.

I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you for the quality videos sir! It’s now time to get some popcorn and watch this awesomeness unfold

I’ll love when you make these videos it makes me learn how to play the game more and more

A solar system ship...I'm definitely in.

I have recently found your Channel and I have been loving the full playthroughs thank you so much for marking them

I just wanted to thank you for making these videos as I find your voice really calming and I often put on your stuff as background audio

Can't wait for the second part I always enjoy these Stellaris videos

Thank you for another full play-through, Lathrix! Side question ive googled but cant find an answer: What's with holes in the empire? Does leaving some systems unclaimed within your boundaries have to do with piracy or...?

I like your flavor of chaos more than most any other kind (I can't really think of what the other ones I like are right now is the only reason I am not saying you are 100% the best flavor of chaos on youtube) and I especially love that you do things just because you want to do them rather than because you feel forced to.

Always love the Stallaris videos. Thanks for the work you put into the full playthroughs!

I love these! But you should definitely add More AI Personalities!

These full playthroughs always are a high point of whatever day I find them on. Thank you so much for your effort!

I use these long playthroughs as background noise to help me sleep. These last few weeks have been SO good for my sleep and thus mindset since I started using these❤

amazing video! I love all the extra content that comes from the mods.

I would like you to know that your videos are something I really like, you say everything you're doing/ jas happened and read what's on screen, which makes it possible to listen to it like a podcast, and your voice is really nice. These full playthrough videos help me get through the more boring parts of my games, thank you

Imagine you are a high ranking officer in the fallen empire enjoying your hot tea then you hear someone cackling maniacally in the comms then suddenly you see a goddamn system barreling towards you. Id shit my pants yo

I’m so glad you do videos like this, I love watching them

Good stuff! Looking forward to part two. Glad you clarified what the Tesla was, ha!

The absurdity of this mod is amazing, you gotta make more videos on it. Loving the content, keep up the amazing work

I’m glad to see modded games and I personally love the long videos so I hope you keep posting these

Always great to watch these playthroughs while at work

Keep them coming Lathland! I havent seen the past 10 playthroughs though but hope to find the time one fine day to bingewatch them...

I can't even remember what I started watching you for but the Stellaris full playthroughs and long-format videos are one of my favorite types of content on your channel now

I truly appreciate the effort you put into your videos i understand what going through hours and hours of footage and editing it into something watchable entails

I've never once made a Systemcraft, but now I've beaten Aeternum without going all-in... I am terrified of the upcoming Blokkats. I have about 7 million fleet power combined plus 2 Aeternite Planetcraft and I'm using about half of my fleet cap.

imagine being some alien astronomer looking up and watching some random fleet steal your entire solar system

59:27 And we are happy you did. That laugh was so pure! Love it!

These videos always bring me joy, thank you for the great content and keep up the excellent work!!

Amazing as always! Love to see more Stellaris content; keep up the great work!

OH MY SPACE. I have an idea. New Modded Origin: INTERGALACTIC TRAVELER. Enter a new galaxy with a species from an old save, in one of THESE babies. But, like, mostly wrecked from the intergalactic voyage. Huge tech lead. Tiny little barely-started colony and a crippled system-ship.

As always, my background video whilst i work from home! love these playthroughs!

Been loving the Stellaris content! Keep up the great work!

I love these stellaris videos! A nice bit of escapism too

I love the gigastructure videos and the full videos of a full playthrough.

as always i love your stellaris full playthroughts and i have liked and seen every1 of them :D

Always happy to like and comment for the algorithm! Love these longer episodes!

Hey Lathland. I listen to your full playthroughs when I try to sleep. I find it very hard to sleep but with your videos I've been sleeping better nights!

Please keep this heavily modded games coming, loving them :)

Just wanted to say that I really love these longer videos!

Thank you for making my work days pleasant I listen to you about 10 hours a day and i love the long form videos

Really hope you continue this GIGA series :D

Thanks lathrix for all your hard work, been enjoying these videos immensely.

Absolutely love these playthroughs

I looooove full playthrough videos! Thank you!

Hooray for these long videos. Best part of the week :D

I FINALLY FOUND YOU. I've been looking for your channel. I used to watch your old tera tech series.

I keep thinking of the Dyson sphere program game that was going around earlier. You could set up gas giant straws, and it was somewhat disappointing that they were functionally infinite. I wanted to grind whole planets into dust to power my mad industry. This is scratching the itch

gotta love the full game videos

You know, perhaps I am not here to see a perfect video. Perhaps I do not care if you make mistaks. Pherhaps I just love to watch you play with all the chaotic energy, humor and hubleness you bring along. Blood for the blood god. We are the good guys :-D

Love the content! Brilliant!
