What the hell is this guy's problem?

[Sirus]

I've got no fucking clue, shit.

Choices choices..

I already have Ideology. Contemplating now whether to buy Royalty or Biotech. Leaning towards Biotech.
Thoughts and experiences?

Really depends on what aspects appeal to you.

Royalty gives you some more interaction with the outside world via the Imperials, either as allies or foes. And it adds some more stuff for leadership within your colony.

Biotech gives you stuff that more directly effects pawns. Bioengineering, different races (different enough sometimes to basically be aliens), stuff like that.

I wouldn't say that either of them adds anything I couldn't live without, but they're both good in their own ways. And, of course, having them opens up a bunch of mod related stuff.

Personally, I think Biotech adds FAR MORE replayable content than Royalty. You do Royalty's quest, and honestly unless you play Vanilla Royalty Expanded - Empire (or whatever it's called I forget and don't wanna google atm ) you have basically seen all it can offer outside of Psycasting, which admittedly I would say is a worthwhile thing to grab, but I'm pretty sure it's been added to base game by now?

Biotech meanwhile on top of letting you make basically any alien race you can imagine -though admittedly I have problems with how it works- and also gives you the ability to make your own mechanoid servants and war machines on top of adding functioning childhood mechanics and pregnancy without having to use The Forbidden Mod.

On that problem I have, it's mainly that you can't actually modify your species in game and use the pregnancy and child mechanics it adds, as all added genes are Xenogerms and not Endogerms, aka they aren't passed down to offspring. Depending on my playthrough I tend to use a mod that either adds a machine to make xenogerms endogerms, or I just have a mod that skips the machine and does that.

Ah well couldn't decide. Got them both, that was the end of my christmas budget haha.

Really game. My first two nobles. What do they both get? 'Solar pinhole'. Underwhelming. Some light and warmth during solar flares I guess.

Wow. A pregnant pawn started giving birth. Doc and dad gathered. Then childbirth was cancelled, and she got our of bed and started hauling stuff while in mild labor.
A bit later, final stages of labour, colonists needs rescue.

She then pooped out a perfectly healthy baby while she was being carried to a bed.
