Habitat ONLY Challenge Full Playthrough!! | 25x Crisis Strength | Stellaris 3.2 

Lathrix at the start: we are world destroyers, so we shouldn't land on worlds Lathrix at the end: man I don't want to land on these worlds, I wish I could destroy them

Fun fact: The degree to which the Great Horde splinters is based on how many habitable plants are under its control. I forget the exact numbers, but if the horde controls about 3 or less, it reverts to space barbarism; about 7 or less is a single successor state; and any more than that and it fractures into multiple successors.

Also a little tip, Lath - when you have artllery batleships which are stationed in one system - chokepoint, there is no need for advanced thrusters - if you use basic ones, your ships dont fly so fast towards the enemy and so they are able to shoot from safe distance for longer time.

I've never finished a full playthrough of Stellaris myself, but always interesting to see your full runs. Heres a comment for the algorithm.

I've got a habitat only playthrough going, so this is really great timing. This is also a comment intended as an offering to the algorithm gods.

"This was very zen" made me think of Mr House and his snowglobe fixation, a Citizen Kane reference, back in ol' Fallout New Vegas. A little world, contained under glass, and all that. But yeah, habitats STRONK. My favorite special chokepoint fortress blocker these days, much less the special resource boons.

void dwellers could make some seriously potent federations on their own, by expanding and making smaller vassal empires of your species and immediately bringing them into the fold. edit, in my earlier attempt at this, you might need to funnel some alloys their way because computers dont handle early habitats that well.

Lath I just wanted to say thank you, for everything, I’ve had some pretty dark times in my life but when they happened I found your channel and it saved me at the time I can’t thank you enough for putting out such good content on a consistent basis while also interacting with your audience so much seriously man thank you for everything if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be with my SO right now

Lathland, just wanted to say thank you for being you. You helped me a lot during covid quarantine. I hope life is going well for you and wish you only the best.

I love void dwelers. Expansion is a great tradition tree for them, considering it reduces habitats by 20% cost in both influence and alloys. It also gives you 10% pop growth and extra pop for each habitat upon completion. Adaptability is another great one, for it has the finishing tradition benefit of surveying extra districts for habitats decision you were looking for. It also adds a building slot to each habitat and reduces food upkeep by 10%, which is huge. Overall, great playthrough.

There are 3 mods I view as must-try; Expanded Gestalts: Forgotten Queens, which focuses on non machine gestalt empires. Adding things like new origins, civics and mechanics unique to such empires. Please note you will need a submod by another author for it to work properly with aquatics as the original author seems to be busy and haven't updated it yet. Machine & Robot Expansion, This is basically the same thing for machine intelligence empires. Underground Realms, THE mod for Criminal Heritage, with a unique origin, expanded crime effects, and even its own "You become the crisis" series of events if you go down the psionic ascension. (becomes easier to trigger if you use said unique origin) Works really well with certain perks and origins from two mods listed in the highly recommended area. Aside from that, I also HIGHLY recommend trying: Nanite Machines & Distant Stars Overhaul; A smaller mod that lets you play as a Nanite Machine Empire, works really well with Machine and Robot Expansion. Unique Ascension Perks; This one is fascinating and can alter your play style completely depending on which perks you pick up, I STRONGLY recommend adding a mod or two to increase the number of ascension perks available because there is no way you'd be able to see more than a fraction with the default amount. Plentiful Traditions 3.x and it's submod Plentiful Traditions 3.x - Extra Perks; These 2 mods go pretty much hand in hand with the one above as it gives you a lot more traditions to play with. Merger of rules; A compatibility mod that will help fix incompatibilities with a VERY extensive list of mods, can help with several crashes and/or bugs as a result.

Modded campaign idea: Habitat only on steroids. Void dweller origin, gigastructures mod, you mine away every single planet with the gigastructures. Eng goal is to mine away the entire (or at least most) galaxy

It would be interesting to become a caravaneer- Pompous purest merchant void dwellers who only just nyeract with an empire while you are in or next to their territory :p

Lathland's just got this cheerful sort of commentary that can really lift people's mood up. You don't see that a lot nowadays, that's for sure.

I bought stellaris because of your videos, absolutely love the game and always look forward to you posting more gameplay

Lathrix Floating Trade Guild Lore: We will not step on planets because we are afraid we might destroy them Lathrix Floating Trade Guild Gameplay: Damn I should have gotten the planet cracker so we don't have to step on the planet and accidentally destroy them...wait

Love the full playthroughs recently! Been studying hard for exams and these are such a great accompaniment to put on in the background. Keep up the fantastic work!

Lathrix: these people were put on the habitat because they might be destroyed their world. They took it to heart and decided to never land on planets ever again. Lathrix at endgame: I should've gotten collosus and use the world cracker because I don't want the worlds *You have become the very thing you swore to destroy lath*

I was just scrolling through old stellaris videos trying to pick what to watch while doing dishes/cleaning. Thanks for the new one!

Algorithm poison be damned, this stuff is what keeps me on target for the most of my playthroughs of Stellaris, even if I get drunk like I did after this recent D&D session and writing this comment. Anyway, good job Lathrix! Keep doing what you do best!

I am once again thanking Lathrix and interacting for the algorithm. :)

I love these videos, excited to see the modded ones. Plus it's always nice when you add some role play lore to a run like this.

would love to see you do this kind of thing but you rush to L cluster and move everything there and go really tall

I'd love to see a Stellaris related tier list. There's a lot of things that are cut out of these videos understandably, so hearing some thoughts about the game from you that isn't about gameplay would be awesome.

Love these full playthrough! Pls keep pumping them out as long as it's good for the channel!

I really enjoy these chill tall gameplays since the majority seem to like to play chaotic and wide so these are always a nice little gem when I run across them.

Go Team Charmander! XD Also, reminder to add a mod that increases available ascension slots so we can see more of the modded mods.

I would recommend trying Stellaris Evolved. It's base game + essentially and is a requirement for me now. It adds a bunch of new ascension paths and new ways to play the game. It's currently only in alpha and so far it's one of the best mods for stellaris. It also stays very in tune to vanilla, so theres no odd out of place assets and ideas that can be kinda disorientating in some other mods.

I'll just take a moment to appreciate the lore Lath comes up with for his empires. Thank you!

16:40 you're thinking of the finisher effect of the Adaptability tradition tree for Void Dwellers. It's VERY good. The housing reduction and the building slot are decent but really all you want from that entire tree is the finisher effect and it's totally worth it!

Heyy, Lathland uploaded! Yayy! It always makes my day!!

another full playthrough! keep up the good work Lathrix!

Thank you Lath coming home from a bad day to find the greetings sir and sirettes just brightens the day.

My fav series on youtube ever. Thank you lath for the amazing video

Another amazing playthrough! It always makes me day to see you put out another Stellaris video. :)

i love the full stellaris videos! heres a comment for the algorithm. keep up the great work!!!

Yay future lathrix! Its always fun to have future lathrix jump in. Looking forward to the rest of the video

Lath I don’t know how many hours of these I have watched but I love them and would not mind other games in long video fashion but as I have stated before I love these

Hey Lathrix, these Stellaris full playthroughs are my favorite Stellaris content and they bring me back to the game every time I see one uploaded, and I leave a like on every one I watch, so please keep doing them for as long as you're having fun playing them! Thanks for the countless hours of entertainment :)

Lathland you mad lad, finally! I love me some habitat only!

love your vids lathland keep it up! i also have a playthrough suggestion i want you to and beat the gigastructures endgame enemy without using planets or system crafts meaning you need to invest heavily into tech

Man I just love the stellaris vids , best vids to study with !

here's some salve to calm the algorithm. thanks for all the playthrus!

Don't normally watch full plays like this however this was somewhat pleasing to see. Will have to try the tall play at some point.

Time to sit down for a hour, excellent

I love the lore you come up with for your empires, it add so much to these videos.

Lathrix, you don’t need to tell anyone of us twice, we all LOVE your content

These long videos are so much better than playthrough divided in several parts

I’ve been interested in habs, so thanks for showing a play through with them

giving my love onto these videos as always

Love your full playthroughs! I dont have enough time to finish any game I start in a reasonable time. Your videos are an excellent replacement👍

Glad to see you used that portrait, as much as I love to watch you play Stellaris(You inspired me to get the game recently) seeing some other stuff as full playthroughs could be fun.

The description made me chuckle, nice one Lath.

Oi, Algorithm, go home, you're drunk. @Lathland : Your play-throughs are helping me at work EVERYDAY, throughout the winter months (kinda like a podcast, instead of radio) and not only do I ENJOY it a lot, I am also more focused AND learn a ton about Stellaris and how to use certain civics/origins. A million thanks for all of those. Cash Cactii still among my all time favourites...

another full playthrough!! these videos are always so entertaining, so thank you for making more!!

love the videos Lath! always appreciate how much work you put into them, they're one of the highlights of my day!

ty for doing another one of these, they're my fav

Thank you for continuing to make these videos. They have helped me more then you know.

Wow, what a great effort! (playing, editing, commenting) Really interesting and well done. A lot of time for you, a good hour for me as the viewer. Awesome, interesting and educative.

Love you playthrough they actually help me learn how to play this game. Seen a lot of them and it makes it easier to understand now I love the game so thanks and keep up the good work

thank you oh so much for the content you are making!

New sub here, watched the 25x Crisis 100 years early yesterday, watched this today, I love these full playthroughs

As long as your enjoying them then keep doing these. I love it when you put in a little roleplay aspect to these play through.

48:45 "What do I do here? Do I do my duty & help out? Or do I sit here and bask in the glory of habitats?" I can picture the neighbourhood on fire while Lathrix sits in his back yard on a lawn chair, mimosa in hand, pondering if he should help out.

I believe its the "Guilli's Planet Modifiers and Features" which is adding this Origin that I been trying out lately. - Deathworlders. You start on a planet with 3 Strong Negative Features on it as well as pactically the whole planet filled with Blockers which lowers the District Space by 110% in some cases. Getting rid of those blockers will take a bit because half of them require the research to do so. Add in the fact that the Features of the planet could cause even more problems. It feels !!FUN!! to play with and deal with the issues it causes...

Instant Like! =) I love this Playthroughs, thank you!

Yooo, let's go!!! I've noticed everybody's (including me) doing this exact ethic combo with this latest release.

Love these full playthroughs! I find it very relaxing.

Love these kinds of videos, Lath! Thank you!

I love your stellaris videos. Thanks a lot.

You're one of my favorite channels on all of youtube, and I hope you have a great end to this year!

Really liked this one, looks like it was a fun run!

For the algorithm! Looking forward to more modded playthroughs, by the way. I've picked up several really awesome mods after watching you play them!

I feel guilty and blessed at the same time to have a new Stellaris videos from you sir. Thank you and take care.

You know, a voidborn empire that refuses to touch planets would make sense as like an ecocentrist empire. Sentient beings are a drain on living worlds, so they refuse to live on them, and terraform into gaia worlds. Their ultimate goal would be to remove every last sentient from planets and terraform the whole galaxy

I do so love these types of videos. It's the way I want to consume Stellaris runs

Thanks for the content, was fun to watch!

Congratulations Lathrix you have managed to label the 3 factions of the Unbidden, in my mind at least, as Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle.

Commenting for the algorithm. Love the playthrough. MORE STELARIS !!

I love all these playthroughs! Thank you!

Origin: Enlightened, so yeah, they were uplifted by your federation friends

Love these long form vids, keep'em up. All hail the algorithm, it has been fed a comment.

Oh boy i cant wait to finish this great video that I just got blessed with. Also for the modded playthrough, man i just cant wait for what mod we are gonna see .

Love your videos!

Lath's right, this is a very chill full play through.

These are always a fantastic treat

The story you came up with for your empire was pretty great.

Void dwellers is my favorite origin and I'm very very glad that you're doing it justice

I just love so much your conten,t you are great Lathrix

As always it is lovely to see a full playthtough from you! If you wanna expand your horizons and play other games as you did with Inscryption I am all for it.

Well, that was fun to watch. Since you mentioned adding mods in your next playthrough, I would like to recommend NSC2. Not only do you get new ship classes, and better starbases (20 slots max with alot more options) but you can also do something similar to this while pretending to be a Marauder Empire thanks to the Origin the devs added in last year.

Stellaris is a series I'd like to see continued in the future!

This is the kind of thing we love to do ourselves. Keep up the good worth Lathrix! Blood for the blood god!

A quick support comment for the Algo ;) Great vid as always!

Lathrix, I hope you get to see this. I've been a long time wacher of your content now and I was just discussing with the wife why I like your content and suddenly I likened your voice and personality to another master content creator by the name of TotalBiscuit. After his passing I think is when I stumbled onto your channel and immediately fell in love all over again. So, thank you, you're doing a great job and keep it up good sir.

heck yeah, more stellaris content!

I feel like master crafters is such an underpowered civic as a megacorp. Once you have the trade federation trading policy you don't need to even make consumer goods or unity producers. Still it was nice to see Lathland use it in this playthrough even he got rid of it almost immediately. I really love these condensed playthroughs Lathland posts and have been watching them since he first started doing them, I hope he does more so I'm leaving this comment. For mods for a next playthrough I'd recommend all of the Planetary Diversity mods, Ethics and Civics Overhaul, and Gigastructures. These mods are all currently compatible with each other and are what I'm using in my current playthrough. I know Lathlands already used Gigastructures and Ethics and Civics from when he played a machine cult. But all 3 of these mods add so much content to game I'm constantly coming up with new builds and empires.

Would love to see full playthroughs of other games. Loved the video as always

I think a lot of games would benefit from your 'Full Playthrough' format. Things like Europa Universalis IV and maybe even games like Stone Hearth. Looking forward to the upcoming changes!

Oh hey, a new video
