Outsourcing to a country that views IP as a joke can't possiblaay go wrong.

There is a paradox sale on steam atm, if you you want to pick up some of the DLCs for this

Got Utopia & Apocalypse and played about 5 hours this morning with Fox people.

The Children of Inari are Enduring, Charismatic and Quarrelsome.
They are Spiritualist, Egalitarian and Xenophiles.
They are native to an Arctic world.

I usually play random races. Currently a machine empire which seems easy mode. All biomes have good habitability, and I don't have to worry about food or consumer goods. Ironically, I good the psionics archaeology event chain (while being surrounded by fanatical spiritualists).

The first two races I've run into are xenophobic reptiles and plant people

I am looking forward to the Lithoids species pack they are releasing this week as it will contain new mechanics for the Lithoids. I hope they'll eventually update the Plantoids with their own mechanics as well.

The expansion has a cool feature in Origins, but I am not so sure about the Federations and Galactic Council. Let's see. I'll get it anyway, so then I will see if it adds much for my style of play. The new megastructures sound interesting, but megastructures at the moment come way too late for me. By then I am typically already dominant in the galaxy.

It is weird the plant species back was just aesthetics. It doesn't seem so hard to give them some basic mechanics- they have a lower food consumption rate but also need to consume energy. Bam.

Disappointed there's none looking like the ravenous crystal lizards from Dark Souls III

So, Empire sprawl...I should ignore that right? Looks like the gains will exceed the penalty.

Unless you get really good resources in return - yep.

The New Launcher is really buggy; it usually takes two tries to successfully launch it on my PC.

Doesn't help that the new launcher is god-awful to look at and use as well, of course.

At least in the old days when something sucked they had the claim of being too small and having to meet strict deadlines to remain solvent. Now I think they are just too lazy to do in house QA.
