Yea I was 90ish years away from winning then everyone went hostile and I am in a loosing war against a fanatic spiritualist massive federation Trying to ethic chainge me. I have decided to take a break.
I had a normal planet within 3 systems of Sanctuary! AND Cybrex! 1 ring was half food and half alloy. 1 ring was all energy. Didn't have to worry about energy creds for a looong time.
@@Protect_all_ljf3forms it was. Since I found it so early I dumped everything into military. By the time I took it I was already incredibly powerful since I took it really fast. I was also in a spiral arm and could protect myself with space stations. After I got that second ring going I was basically an end game crisis.
@@TheArklyte Yes, the forums came up with people complaining about how rare something was but nowhere was there was a breakdown of how rare they were. The wiki gives the hard numbers but you have to go through every event to find out what is the rarest but that doesn't give you the rarity from a practical gameplay standpoint just the percentage.
Had a friend get the galatron in a megamodded game. Since he was new and scared of people attacking him. I asked to make him a vassal. He accepted, then I got all his relics and the galatron. He has since never accepted being vassal again.
I take my hat off to you for the Machiavellian genius employed. Reminds me of how me and my friend treat each other playing games like this. No regrets every time lol
My Aquatics iron man game had both Brain Slugs and Nivlac. I guess that luck was to make up for all the other unlucky events in the game. I had only two small wet worlds in my territory other than my homeworld, everything else is sub 20% habitability. Two of my neighbors were tomb world hive minds (so no pops if i conquer and the planets are shit, especially for a spiritualist) and the other two were advanced start aggressive militant empires that curb stomped me at year 40 and took half my territory. A wormhole opened from my admin planet to a powerful slaving despot empire who promptly leveled the planet and stole half its pops, crippling my empire. Three L gates were somehow in my territory which was less than 10% of the galaxy at this point, so of course the ai activated the gate early and Grey Tempest came out.
Me: Life Seeded lithoids that found two size 25 planets near home. Not me: A neighbor megachurch that I befriended and made a hegemony with early in the game. Also Me: Discovering two broken megastrutures and the Sanctuary at the other side of my friend borders all of that now in his possession.
there is no better word for this then “lmao” also i’ve never even had brain slugs or anything after the horizon signal on this list and i’ve played for a super long time so
Man I used to get lucky as hell, now trying out the aquatics my luck has gone to shit but my site finding luck has gone up. Cant find any planets, neighbors are genocidal or some fanatical boi who wants to convert me. Idk man seems that space pirate luck is nonexistent :P
@@125discipline2 Nivlac is the name of the species that gets created by the Impossible Organism event chain. The event chain is triggered by an anomaly that has a very small chance to proc on toxic worlds, and when you finish the chain you can either add pops of a new species to a random planet you control or have them found their own empire, which may or may not hate you depending on your decisions. In either case the Nivlac are amazing, with a unique trait that gives them +50% habitability and +15% pop growth speed. They can live anywhere and if you genemod them with rapid breeders or fertile and sign a few immigration treaties they will TAKE OVER THE GODDAMN GALAXY! If you play with Xeno-Compatibility you can (if you are lucky) get a hybrid of Nivlac and your main species that has the special Nivlac trait, but Xeno-Compatibility is so buggy that it isn't worth the trouble.
This just makes me wish that there was a rare events for psionic empires to become a hive mind with unique bonuses. Like how synthetics and machine empires are different but synthetics being superior
Well psionic empires do have that event that lets you deify your chosen one. But I do agree that being able to transition to some kind of alternate hive mind the way that a synth asc empire is effectively a machine empire but not
There’s this one event where a ruined ring world will spawn and when the systems surveyed, it gives an event chain that can lead to unfreezing nerve stapled pops from ringworld cryo. Only happened to me once, and I didn’t get to see if anything else happened past reviving the pops, but it was quite interesting
Had it sometimes, maybe 5 times in total. But I have only interacted with it 2 times, both times I had to repopulated do to a unfortunate event of me wanting the ringworld, and there already being creatures on it.
My rarest was finding the Voyager probe, and using it to find Earth. Too bad our blue marble was a tomb world upon discovery, and the game doesn't tell what happened to it.
Saw the nivlac twice, sanctuary a lot, horizon signal a lot though less lately, and blue lotus once, but I assumed lotus was from a mod cause it was so weird.
Im not sure i saw Nivlac, but im sure i saw "impossible organism". Checked wiki and either it was 1 per 100 of my games when i played xenophobe or i dont know. Same with lotus, first time i saw it was when i played with more events mod or something like that.
Are the Nivlacs the fungoids that always have 70+ habitat-ability on all planets? If so I have recently had a run with them spawning pretty close to me.
One of my favorite events was when I had the Contingency spawn while the machine Fallen Empire was still alive. They woke up, helped beat back the Contingency, then left the galaxy and gave up their ringworlds. It was awesome.
I just wish i could unplay this game and be able to experience the events all over again. Then again i tresure the memories i made all these years playing it. Bought it on pre order and playing since day one
A bit late to the party but one pretty rare event and one of my personal favourites is the "Hole In The Void" event It's connected to the Prethoryn Scourge crisis and to get it to happen you must capture a Prethoryn Queen through the "Wounded Queen" event, be psionic and wait a 100 years. After all that you get the event, it's a huge wall of text essentially but it is pretty spooky.... (Spoilers below) You learn that over the last few months, the Captured Queen has been getting very uneasy, while at first it is theorized that she's just missing the connection with the rest of her kind, that is not the case. Your telepaths find that she's actually still in contact with her kind and has been frantically speaking about a "hole in the void". Your empire is baffled by this until a team of scientists researching Prethoryn intergalactic travel who are trying to map a path of where they went before they got to you discover that a small spiral galaxy located about 30 million light years from your own has...... disappeared. The galaxy was discovered in the pre-FTL era of your species but has now stopped producing any form of light detectable by your sensors. It has simply vanished from the sky. Either something caused all of its stars to go out all at once or there is something so large that its obscuring the entire galaxy. Most people in your empire are disturbed by this, while some like to think that the galaxy never even existed at all and was an error of primitive telescopes. You get a bit of physics research.
@@BaneHydra Yep it would. That makes it all the more disturbing as your empire has no idea which other galaxies might be gone even though you can still see their light.
As someone who regularly likes to play Radiotrophic, either hive mind or fanatical purifiers, I can truly say "PRAISE BE UNTO THE WORM, WHAT ONCE WAS, SHALL BE AND WHAT SHALL BE, ONCE WAS."
Once i had an alien empire have the galatron. That was the first time I encountered it, as it gives you a special casus belli. I had a lot of fun RPing in my head that run. The Grand Galatron Crusade!
I got brain slugs once and it was my second ever game with necroids, I thought it was cool having 2 parasites in one body, and those bonuses were amazing, alongside with having basically no downside
Gotta love how the galactic imperium titles start out in a normal numerical fashion, then, past the tenth come in with titles of grandiose finality, even going so far as to deem number 13 "the truly last galactic imperium", before just going for "another galactic imperium" for all the ones after, as if the entire galaxy just has had enough of all this constant rising and falling of empires.
"And here we are at the Ultimate Galactic Empire spilt, our current time is about 700 trillion years after the heat death of the universe, so we're still on track for the world record."
The imperium one seems quite tough since in my experierence the ai will never lead a rebelion themselves, and the ai won't try to become custodian that often either.
Had all the stuff you were talking about at least once - but the crystal empire. Even though I almost exclusively play Voiddwellers, I never even knew they existed
I knew they did (due to looking in the files and asking in the Wiki if it is a hoax) and in my insanely lucky 3.1 game I.... Haven't found them. I've got the Worm, Slugs a random AI has the Galatron but no Crystalline Enclave.
So does the Crystal Empire just have 1 large Enclave space-station as their territory? Whats with the "Crystal" theme? Is it just how they build stuff or is there species made of crystal? Where do they come from? Man I want to learn more about these guys. The fact that they spawn so rarely helps with the mystery involving them. Most Stellaris player never even knew they existed until this video.
Bit late (only just saw this video), but I've had the Crystalline Enclave spawn a couple times. Wasn't playing Void Dwellers but there were other empires that were Void Dwellers so as long as someone has that origin, they can spawn. If you aren't Void Dwellers they just ask for alloys in exchange for energy instead of giving you pops, so you can still interact with them. Honestly, I thought it was part of Gigastructures until I saw this video. Kind of crazy that it's from Stellaris itself
I use to get the blue Lotus facility in every game that I think it was bugged to always spawn. Now it is actually rare but that was a nice early game event
In a game I recently played, I came across the nanites time bomb. But instead of giving me a natine ship or terraforming a Gaia World for me, a nanite swarm settled on a planet. I then got an event chain, giving me access to 3 distinct options - leting it live, destroying it or trying to controll it. I choose the latter and "the swarm" terraformed the planet in a size 20+ world, suited for my species and on top on that a planetary modifier, recuding building cost and upkeep as well as contributing 25% to engineering research. I did not even know that that possibility for the event existed.
The Crystalline empire did actually spawn in my latest singleplayer game, where I played void dwellers for the first time. Didn't realize they were so rare or were so powerful.
I've had the brain slug spawn twice within the five games I've played and sanctuary once. In terms of rare things, I'd include the event chain where you rescue gas giant people and move them around to "colonize" planets and have a civil war. They are totally invisible outside of events. I only had it happen once. Edit: Gas Giant Signal is what it's called.
@@liamclifforth7046 yeah it is pretty awesome. After some time you can help them relocate to a second gas giant. After that om one of the worlds a communist revolution will happen and you can help them again conquer the second gas giant
First play through had a huge event chain searching for a mystical planet. Ended up finding a gaia world in a new system that spawned with primitives. Some random aliens show up bomb The Primitives into extinction and then fly away leaving me with an empty Gaia world. 400 hours later and I’ve never seen this event again.
The entire time I've played Stellaris, Project Blue Lotus never spawned once for me. I've seen the brain slug event happen twice; I've seen Horizon signal three times and I've seen the Reliquary once. I've been playing the game on and off for days on end since launch. I've logged over 1200 hours in this game. So think on that, considering I've only seen those events in that time (considering that I've roughly played about 800 hours since they were all added). Just shows how rare they are. These were times when I saw them legitimately. I've never seen the Crystal Enclave before. This is new to me.
I got 450 and I've gotten the galatron, seen the sea of consciousness, gotten the horizon signal 2-3 times, but I have never heard of Nivlac or the Lotus. I knew brain slugs existed because of modded origins but never actually gotten it.
Only 1200 hours since 2016? I've had it since 2019, and I'm up to 710.4. That said, I do recall seeing the Brain Slugs at least once, but I've also only gotten the worm friend once. I see the reliquaries pretty much every game, but I never really buy anything from them. For the longest time, I actually assumed they were a modded thing.
I never would’ve guessed brain slugs were rare. I only recently started playing Stellaris a few months ago. In the three games I’ve played, I got brain slugs all three times. Maybe the developers made it a more common event with 3.0?
I've seen Sanctuary once, it was in a game where I got Cybrex as my precursor and had an abandoned ringworld in the system next to my home system. Literally 3 Ringworlds in my territory before I even had mega engineering. I've seen the brain slug event several times, it's one of my faves. I've never seen any of the others.
My first determined exterminator games, I spawned behind a choke point in a corner of the map, I had 3-4 actual systems taken before I tried to get past the choke point only to find out it was a sanctuary. Game’s nearly impossible by this point as I had advanced neighbors and both pirate factions near me as well. This is the same day I learned that the sanctuary doesn’t attack pirates... I’m still just about 30-40 years into the game and can’t do anything
I've seen most of these, but not Galatron, Another Imperium, and Crystal Enclave. I think before I realized how rare it was I once saw an AI empire with the Galatron but never went to war with them for it. Which I now regret, immensely.
@@A_Spec dammit. I have never seen it since. Someday I shall. I need a break from Stellaris though, I have finally defeated all 3 crises on 25x Grand Admiral with the current meta balance. I got lucky and finally the Unbidden didn't spawn in my sector of space within 2-3 jumps of my major homeworlds, lol.
One of the funniest/rarest events I think I ever had was the "space puppies" event that occurred due to constructing a ring world. I think it maybe have been due to a certain system, but essentially these puppies were from a removed planet and inhabited a portion of the ring world. Upon later investigate you found they were abducting and eating workers lol.
For me the rarest event that I have only seen once was the L-Gate Community that spawned in the center of the galaxy. Not sure what that event was but it was pretty cool.
Not really an event but since I only have the console version currently, my favorite thing to do is let a fallen emp. wake up and expand a little(while at good relations with them) and let them build special buildings so that when we go to war I can take some sweet megastructures i cant build like the science megastructure that gives you 100 of each science
Not just that, but fun fact- Awakened empires can build other megastructures, even if you don’t have the required DLC! I found this the other day in my Ironman run, the enigmatic observers built a Interstellar Assembly
@@firepowerx-venezuelangame3890 yea , the fallen empire that survives to awaken had either a titan or colossus module on the home system starbase(dont have the mod for it) and I cant use it :(
Recently got it for console, never had a fallen empire wake up, just started a scion origin hoping I would get a fallen empire war or atleast wake up, any way to increase the chances of them waking up?
I haven't seen Sanctuary in a while, so long that I started to believe they accidentally removed it from being able to spawn. I never got Horizon Signal. 😅 I always wanted to play with it.
I got Crystal Enclave event and just thought it was a common event. So unless they buffed the spawn chance of it turns out I got the rarest event in the game to happen, without knowing it.
Paridayda is a rare event that should be on this list. the event allows you to find a Gaia world which has primitives on it and a special motiver. That event is really rare.
Never forget the first time I ever played, I opened the Reliquary for the first time... and low and behold, I got the Galatron. Had no idea it was this rare.
I had a really good spawn from about 10 matches ago, I spawned in a group of 6 systems with only a single exit choke point, ruined Dyson Sphere, Ruined Matter Decompressor, Ruined Ring world, an L-gate and Cybrex precursor, as void dwellers... Let's just say that about 20 years after I got mega engineering marked the point where I went from being a decent empire with a series of defensive choke points made of fortress habitats, into an unstoppable monstrosity of unbreakable defenses and endless waves of assault fleets warping out of every L-gate to wage war across the galaxy. That incident has led to one additional rule within the group of friends that I regularly play multiplayer stellaris with, that if I specifically, am to control an L-gate, it will be seen as an act of war and will be taken off of me by force.
@@arounor it's less that they underestimated me, and more that I just wasn't playing the way I usually did before hand, because the previous 4 matches I was either a megacorp or a nice pacifist empire of my design called Gaia Incorporated which was based around using Gaia Seeders to turn relatively crap worlds into Gaia worlds that I would sell off to my friends for massive piles of minerals and alloys. Those first few matches were recon, learning their playstyles, preferred ship configurations, basic setups, all that jazz. That match was a step before my more standard playstyle, because I saw the megastructures, and decided to be a ticking time bomb, one which they didn't realise they had to deal with, after that, my standard Plantoid, Post Apocalypse, Radiotrophic, Fanatical Purifier builds came out to play interspersed with driven assimilators to keep them on their toes. But Survivor, Radiotrophic and Budding, is a nasty combination.
@@arounor To be fair, I'm not that good, just good at figuring out what things can be combined in unexpected ways in order to become game breaking. If you want to truly be a dick though, Radiotrophic, Post Apocalypse Hivemind, and figure out how to get yourself armegedon bombardment stance, at which point, turn every world you take off the enemy into a tomb world, and settle your pops on it, if they want to take it back off of you, they then have to deal with a tomb world where likely the only pops they have that can be happy there, are slowly dying out due to no longer being connected to your Hivemind.
Years ago I encountered a previous version of my empire through a anomaly. They were in a different universe. I think we could have some limited interaction between us. This was 4 or 5 years ago I haven't seem it since.
I managed to get brain slugs with my ocean paradise ironman run. This run also ended up having the cybrex, sanctuary, and the robot fallen empire near me. It was a little annoying but I got L gate dragons after which was a nice surprise, followed by a not so nice surprise of the purifiers to my south killing the curators and artisans. The strangest part was they were lythoids and rivaled my genetic ascension species for the most prolific in the galaxy.
The event where you find the three vials that each give you a different trait is a lot rarer than it used to be. Also I've only ever seen the Sea of Consciousness once.
Think I've seem Sanctuary spawn once, but I constantly play on huge maps so that prolly helps out a bit I also once got Brain Slug with the Oracle governor and, uh, the slugs completely negated the Oracles negatives to research so.....
I remember my first huge galaxy game without mods: 1: Fought a empire for a broken ringworld. 2: Found a ringworld with the cybrex events. 3: Found sanctuary. So yes 3 ringworlds on vanilla stellaris. Best game yet if were talking vanilla.
I was playing as a Rougue Servitor in a havely modded game recently and I got Nivilac. I honestly thought it was from a mod. Also,Rougue servitors have a special interaction with it were thwy can settle the pops on their capital
Haven't watched, but Sanctuary for sure. 36 days played and only seen it twice, once pre alloys era, and again a couple weeks ago.Era, Edit: Sanctuary is by far my favorite system in the game. I had great memories with it the first time and every game I play I want to find it. I got all the primitives to uplift at once and fight each other on the edge of the galaxy, with me being a blocker to leaving the system. Sadly the fight was cut short because of the the end game crisis but was fun while it lasted
me and my friends get it so fucking much for some reason. I've gone back through the saves, and out of the 50 most recent saves we played, you want to know how many times we got it? thirty two. It's so fucking annoying, please, absorb our wanderlust luck..
05:42 I remember the brain Gu'Aold! I think it was on my very first Stellaris play through where I encountered them. I never did again after several hundreds of hours. It started to become a myth to me, I am glad to know I didn't imagine it and it is real.
I think I've seen the crystal enclave event, but I didnt pursue it, as it was a game that I have lost xD I've played void dwellers a lot, so that would make sense.
I've gotten the Galatron twice! I always try to roll for it! Didn't know how rare it was, but that makes sense! To be honest, the first time I found it was on one of my opposing empires, so I decided to... fix that. It deserved to be in the hands of the Imperial Nexus, after all.
I was shocked to see that on the wiki, your video, and ps4 achievements that The Galatron is that rare but to my surprise I had obtained it on my first game with the DLC to get it. I feel extremely lucky and sad that it will take a while to get it again.
Also! Do you think you can do a vid about hive minds? I wanna know what you think if they are fine how they are or if you think they could be so much more if paradox just overhauled them? Maybe even give them their own spices pack like synthetic dawn?
I got the Horizon Signal on one of my FIRST games. My society of Technocrats converted to Spiritualism between the Shrine of the Gods and this and it's was incredible. I had no idea what was going on and I've HOPED to have it happen again because it was super interesting. My current game JUST got Brain Slugs and they are AWESOME.
Yeah, Horizon Signal went full ham on the lore, and I think encouraged Paradox to fiddle with events more in a way they and the custodian team really are now.
Sanctuary, Impossible Organism and Horizon Signal are the ones I "usually" get when it comes to rare events. But is baffling that you can rebuild the Galactic Imperium and that Crystal Enclave. I never had any of these
Got the Galatron one time. However it was in a galaxy where there were five total exterminating empires, two machine, two hives, one shielded gecko mass murderers, that had taken over more than half the total space in a huge galaxy. I had one fourth of that galaxy when the grand crusade to stop the massacres started before I got the galatron near the end of the last war against the second devouring swarm after killing off the two machine empires with only the mass murdering geckos, the weakest of the five left to finish off. So the only time I ever got it there was literally zero need for influence to take over anything as there was almost no part of the galaxy not touched by an automatic enemy that you don't need influence to make claims against.
My two rarest events: Dragonscale Armor, and the Void Spawn. Those two, or battling the Khan. I’ve seen dozens of Hordes raise up, but by the time they get near my borders the Khan dies of old age or assassins.
@@capitalistball2924 I’ve killed the Dragon and claimed Dragon’s Hoard hundreds of times. Only pre Le Guin update on consoles did I ever see it. Since then, nothing..
I haven't seen (good) brain slug and calvin in a long time, but the evil brain slugs appear pretty often. I finally got the galatron this summer, right after they upped its chances in a patch. Never seen Blue Lotus, Crystal Enclave, or, well, anything beyond the first galactic imperium, big shocks there.
I did not know some of these existed. I loved the brain slug event because it was a fun story. The horizon signal was my least favorite event chain to get multiple times. My issue with the the event chain was how much it changed my empire so radically which made me sad.
I remember I was starting my newest game of stellaris and started reading relics I never got before and discorvered the galatron and thought "damn this is OP!". A few hours in and tried my luck at the reliquaries and I actually freaking got the galatron! Think i used all my luck for a whole month for that.
A note on sactuary, If one of the Pre-FTL empires enters space, the system will permenantly stop them from expansion by repeatedly killing the starbase, and making it impossible for them to make any ships.
In my first devouring swarm run I had sanctuary spawn 3 jumps from my capital on a small spiral galaxy. Needless to say it went a long way towards ensuring the swarm devoured all.
I've gotten brain slugs a lot. It tends to happen really early when the instability it causes is a massive PITA. I have never seen the infinite pop species even once.
I’ve only seen the brain slug once. I already had a lot events that made my technocrat empire research things really quick. The brain slug helped make things ridiculously quick to research thing.
I've seen Nivlac exactly 1 time in over 3500 hours of playtime. It was while I was playing a RS that had lost its organic pops in a series of unlikely events involving a xenophobic fallen empire. It was one of the more memorable games I've played.
Most of those I have seen and experienced, I have even once had the ring world spawn litterally next to my home system (in 3.4 no less) but then there are some of those that I honestly never knew about.
Missed the rarest event - the end of the game.
I have never seen that event!
I got it only once, didn't pay attention and ended up 50 years later very confused.
Yea I was 90ish years away from winning then everyone went hostile and I am in a loosing war against a fanatic spiritualist massive federation
Trying to ethic chainge me.
I have decided to take a break.
I have been playing for 2 years and have only won once.
not so rare, i won against the unbidden by dying last
I'll never forget when I used a ring world start and immediately found sanctuary. That was probably the most overpowered run I've ever had.
Sounds epic
Nice
I had a normal planet within 3 systems of Sanctuary! AND Cybrex!
1 ring was half food and half alloy.
1 ring was all energy.
Didn't have to worry about energy creds for a looong time.
I've only found it once in my games a few month ago but it was in the late game when I've already had half of the galaxy under my control.
@@Protect_all_ljf3forms it was. Since I found it so early I dumped everything into military. By the time I took it I was already incredibly powerful since I took it really fast. I was also in a spiral arm and could protect myself with space stations. After I got that second ring going I was basically an end game crisis.
For me the rarest “event” is finding earth in WW2. Done a ton of games specifically looking for it and just nada. Also the voidspawn
Too bad you can't zoom in on it and cause a minigame of Hearts of Iron 4 to spawn :p
@@dreadpenguinlord340 or even if it would spit out a random save file you’d have to open yourself in hoi
I found Earth in WW2. I promptly invaded and gave them a real issue. They capitulated shortly after
Always attack earth during ww2, it is one of the rarest archvment in the game
@@Falcon0BR yup that’s why I was on the hunt for it
I would love if the gas giant revolution would give like half of its probability to happen to the other ones.
I feel like that event chain has a 100% probability, because I’ve never not gotten it
@@christophero3869
I feel like I got it in half of my playthroughs
I got it 2 times, in like 15 plays or something
I tend to ignore this event chain now just because I’m so tired of seeing it.
A SENSOR MALFUNCTION. IGNORE IT
I was just googling this the other day and had little luck on getting reliable info. The timing on this couldn't be more perfect.
Have you tried game wiki and forums?
@@TheArklyte Yes, the forums came up with people complaining about how rare something was but nowhere was there was a breakdown of how rare they were.

@@Nordoyle the percentages and conditions are sadly only in the script files, which you need to dig through.
Had a friend get the galatron in a megamodded game. Since he was new and scared of people attacking him. I asked to make him a vassal. He accepted, then I got all his relics and the galatron. He has since never accepted being vassal again.
You evil genius
Fiendish
I take my hat off to you for the Machiavellian genius employed. Reminds me of how me and my friend treat each other playing games like this. No regrets every time lol
CASUAL STOP TELLING STORIES ABOUT ME YOU BASTARD
I got the Galatron 3 different times in the same game once. Twice the normal way, and once from a modded dig site. Unfortunately, they didn't stack.
My Aquatics iron man game had both Brain Slugs and Nivlac. I guess that luck was to make up for all the other unlucky events in the game. I had only two small wet worlds in my territory other than my homeworld, everything else is sub 20% habitability. Two of my neighbors were tomb world hive minds (so no pops if i conquer and the planets are shit, especially for a spiritualist) and the other two were advanced start aggressive militant empires that curb stomped me at year 40 and took half my territory. A wormhole opened from my admin planet to a powerful slaving despot empire who promptly leveled the planet and stole half its pops, crippling my empire. Three L gates were somehow in my territory which was less than 10% of the galaxy at this point, so of course the ai activated the gate early and Grey Tempest came out.
Me: Life Seeded lithoids that found two size 25 planets near home.
Not me: A neighbor megachurch that I befriended and made a hegemony with early in the game.
Also Me: Discovering two broken megastrutures and the Sanctuary at the other side of my friend borders all of that now in his possession.
there is no better word for this then “lmao”
also i’ve never even had brain slugs or anything after the horizon signal on this list and i’ve played for a super long time so
what's nivlac??
Man I used to get lucky as hell, now trying out the aquatics my luck has gone to shit but my site finding luck has gone up. Cant find any planets, neighbors are genocidal or some fanatical boi who wants to convert me. Idk man seems that space pirate luck is nonexistent :P
@@125discipline2 Nivlac is the name of the species that gets created by the Impossible Organism event chain.

This just makes me wish that there was a rare events for psionic empires to become a hive mind with unique bonuses. Like how synthetics and machine empires are different but synthetics being superior
Well psionic empires do have that event that lets you deify your chosen one. But I do agree that being able to transition to some kind of alternate hive mind the way that a synth asc empire is effectively a machine empire but not
There’s this one event where a ruined ring world will spawn and when the systems surveyed, it gives an event chain that can lead to unfreezing nerve stapled pops from ringworld cryo. Only happened to me once, and I didn’t get to see if anything else happened past reviving the pops, but it was quite interesting
I'm pretty sure that's an event from gigastructures, I had that same event the other day, in a system with a ruined gargantuan ringworld

this is another to add to the not yet seen list!
Ah yeah I got that one like twice but not for a very long time.
Oh yeahhh I got that recently for the first time. Definitely in the base game. Nice way to get good slaves haha.
I've had Sanctuary spawn a few times, but its always been on the other side of the galaxy. By mid game some other empire has already taken it over.
In all my games, I've only run into Sanctuary once.
Had it sometimes, maybe 5 times in total. But I have only interacted with it 2 times, both times I had to repopulated do to a unfortunate event of me wanting the ringworld, and there already being creatures on it.
same i've seen it like 6 or 7 times and I don't play super often. it's in like one in every three games I play.
Luck for you, I have yet to see it
Mine has a different primitive civilization living on each section of the ring.
My rarest was finding the Voyager probe, and using it to find Earth. Too bad our blue marble was a tomb world upon discovery, and the game doesn't tell what happened to it.
You can find the Voyager probe??? In my game, I enslaved all of Earth lmao.
Thea'an Interplanetary Industries welcomes Sol III as the latest Alloy Fufillment Center. If it's not a Tomb World already, it will be soon!
I blew up earth one time
Saw the nivlac twice, sanctuary a lot, horizon signal a lot though less lately, and blue lotus once, but I assumed lotus was from a mod cause it was so weird.
Im not sure i saw Nivlac, but im sure i saw "impossible organism". Checked wiki and either it was 1 per 100 of my games when i played xenophobe or i dont know.
Same with lotus, first time i saw it was when i played with more events mod or something like that.
Are the Nivlacs the fungoids that always have 70+ habitat-ability on all planets? If so I have recently had a run with them spawning pretty close to me.
@@liamclifforth7046 yes
Started Stellaris a little time after Horizon Signal arrived.
Got it on my first game, tought it was mandatory.
I meet neither of any you mention
One of my favorite events was when I had the Contingency spawn while the machine Fallen Empire was still alive. They woke up, helped beat back the Contingency, then left the galaxy and gave up their ringworlds.
It was awesome.
Good enough that it's a high chance they wake up as guardians. Otherwise they'll wake up as berserkers and kill everything in sight.
@@tredausmaxima IIRC the Rampaging Machines (berserker) awakening has a 33% chance.
I just wish i could unplay this game and be able to experience the events all over again. Then again i tresure the memories i made all these years playing it. Bought it on pre order and playing since day one
A bit late to the party but one pretty rare event and one of my personal favourites is the "Hole In The Void" event
It's connected to the Prethoryn Scourge crisis and to get it to happen you must capture a Prethoryn Queen through the "Wounded Queen" event, be psionic and wait a 100 years.
After all that you get the event, it's a huge wall of text essentially but it is pretty spooky....
(Spoilers below)
You learn that over the last few months, the Captured Queen has been getting very uneasy, while at first it is theorized that she's just missing the connection with the rest of her kind, that is not the case. Your telepaths find that she's actually still in contact with her kind and has been frantically speaking about a "hole in the void". Your empire is baffled by this until a team of scientists researching Prethoryn intergalactic travel who are trying to map a path of where they went before they got to you discover that a small spiral galaxy located about 30 million light years from your own has...... disappeared. The galaxy was discovered in the pre-FTL era of your species but has now stopped producing any form of light detectable by your sensors. It has simply vanished from the sky. Either something caused all of its stars to go out all at once or there is something so large that its obscuring the entire galaxy. Most people in your empire are disturbed by this, while some like to think that the galaxy never even existed at all and was an error of primitive telescopes.
You get a bit of physics research.
If a galaxy 30 million light years from our own disappeared from our view, wouldn't this mean that it had already been gone for 30 million years?
@@BaneHydra Yep it would. That makes it all the more disturbing as your empire has no idea which other galaxies might be gone even though you can still see their light.
"a lot of people really like the worm" I think this was a mistake, its ok I will correct it for you. "EVERYBODY LOVES THE WORM AND THE WORM LOVES US"
As someone who regularly likes to play Radiotrophic, either hive mind or fanatical purifiers, I can truly say "PRAISE BE UNTO THE WORM, WHAT ONCE WAS, SHALL BE AND WHAT SHALL BE, ONCE WAS."
Note; After the release of Overlord, the Brainslugs are no longer rare and you can get them quite easily.
How?
@@christiang2430 Repeat the Shroud Enclave 'Fate Reading' thing until you get it.
Rarely I just got this event right in my current game after Galactic Paragons.
Once i had an alien empire have the galatron. That was the first time I encountered it, as it gives you a special casus belli. I had a lot of fun RPing in my head that run. The Grand Galatron Crusade!
Please tell me that you had the head of zarqulan (or however you spell it) to turn it into a proper crusade.
I got brain slugs once and it was my second ever game with necroids, I thought it was cool having 2 parasites in one body, and those bonuses were amazing, alongside with having basically no downside
when I got it my species got a phobia towards them and were really unproductive for years, so that could happen. worth it tho
Gotta love how the galactic imperium titles start out in a normal numerical fashion, then, past the tenth come in with titles of grandiose finality, even going so far as to deem number 13 "the truly last galactic imperium", before just going for "another galactic imperium" for all the ones after, as if the entire galaxy just has had enough of all this constant rising and falling of empires.
Can't wait to see Another Galactic Imperium speedruns
"And here we are at the Ultimate Galactic Empire spilt, our current time is about 700 trillion years after the heat death of the universe, so we're still on track for the world record."
I would watch that
The imperium one seems quite tough since in my experierence the ai will never lead a rebelion themselves, and the ai won't try to become custodian that often either.
Use Startech
My days of exploring the stellaris wiki have paid off, only one I didn't know of was the another galactic imperium.
Had all the stuff you were talking about at least once - but the crystal empire. Even though I almost exclusively play Voiddwellers, I never even knew they existed
I knew they did (due to looking in the files and asking in the Wiki if it is a hoax) and in my insanely lucky 3.1 game I....
Haven't found them. I've got the Worm, Slugs a random AI has the Galatron but no Crystalline Enclave.
So does the Crystal Empire just have 1 large Enclave space-station as their territory? Whats with the "Crystal" theme? Is it just how they build stuff or is there species made of crystal? Where do they come from?
Man I want to learn more about these guys.
The fact that they spawn so rarely helps with the mystery involving them. Most Stellaris player never even knew they existed until this video.
Bit late (only just saw this video), but I've had the Crystalline Enclave spawn a couple times. Wasn't playing Void Dwellers but there were other empires that were Void Dwellers so as long as someone has that origin, they can spawn.
If you aren't Void Dwellers they just ask for alloys in exchange for energy instead of giving you pops, so you can still interact with them.
Honestly, I thought it was part of Gigastructures until I saw this video. Kind of crazy that it's from Stellaris itself
I use to get the blue Lotus facility in every game that I think it was bugged to always spawn. Now it is actually rare but that was a nice early game event
It triggered on Deneb on my first CoM run. Thought it always spawns for them there
In a game I recently played, I came across the nanites time bomb. But instead of giving me a natine ship or terraforming a Gaia World for me, a nanite swarm settled on a planet.
I then got an event chain, giving me access to 3 distinct options - leting it live, destroying it or trying to controll it. I choose the latter and "the swarm" terraformed the planet in a size 20+ world, suited for my species and on top on that a planetary modifier, recuding building cost and upkeep as well as contributing 25% to engineering research. I did not even know that that possibility for the event existed.
The Crystalline empire did actually spawn in my latest singleplayer game, where I played void dwellers for the first time. Didn't realize they were so rare or were so powerful.
I've had the brain slug spawn twice within the five games I've played and sanctuary once. In terms of rare things, I'd include the event chain where you rescue gas giant people and move them around to "colonize" planets and have a civil war. They are totally invisible outside of events. I only had it happen once.
Edit: Gas Giant Signal is what it's called.
Never heard about the civil war before, but I have re-located them sometimes. Nothing recent though.
@@liamclifforth7046 yeah it is pretty awesome. After some time you can help them relocate to a second gas giant. After that om one of the worlds a communist revolution will happen and you can help them again conquer the second gas giant
I get them quite often. To the point i just stop at the "bring chabky home" step and not bother with the revolution choice plotline
I get the gas giant one pretty often. I ignore them at this point as they decide they need to move at the most inopportune times.
i cant remember a game where i dont find that bloody planet... want to run everytime i see the event ._.
First play through had a huge event chain searching for a mystical planet. Ended up finding a gaia world in a new system that spawned with primitives. Some random aliens show up bomb The Primitives into extinction and then fly away leaving me with an empty Gaia world. 400 hours later and I’ve never seen this event again.
Paridayda. Got that one too, during one of my first games of Stellaris. Never saw it again though
The entire time I've played Stellaris, Project Blue Lotus never spawned once for me.
I've seen the brain slug event happen twice; I've seen Horizon signal three times and I've seen the Reliquary once. I've been playing the game on and off for days on end since launch. I've logged over 1200 hours in this game. So think on that, considering I've only seen those events in that time (considering that I've roughly played about 800 hours since they were all added). Just shows how rare they are. These were times when I saw them legitimately.
I've never seen the Crystal Enclave before. This is new to me.
I got 450 and I've gotten the galatron, seen the sea of consciousness, gotten the horizon signal 2-3 times, but I have never heard of Nivlac or the Lotus. I knew brain slugs existed because of modded origins but never actually gotten it.
Only 1200 hours since 2016?
I've had it since 2019, and I'm up to 710.4.
That said, I do recall seeing the Brain Slugs at least once, but I've also only gotten the worm friend once.
I see the reliquaries pretty much every game, but I never really buy anything from them. For the longest time, I actually assumed they were a modded thing.
550 hrs on Stellaris and I've only had Sanctuary, Blue Lotus and The Worm. The Crystal Enclave really blew my mind.
I never would’ve guessed brain slugs were rare. I only recently started playing Stellaris a few months ago. In the three games I’ve played, I got brain slugs all three times. Maybe the developers made it a more common event with 3.0?
I've still never seen "The End of the Cycle" happen, despite years of trying. :(
I've seen Sanctuary once, it was in a game where I got Cybrex as my precursor and had an abandoned ringworld in the system next to my home system. Literally 3 Ringworlds in my territory before I even had mega engineering. I've seen the brain slug event several times, it's one of my faves. I've never seen any of the others.
I got horizon signal on my first proper run. I honestly wasn’t sure if Stellaris was secretly a horror game lol
Finding Spice Melange is quite exceedingly rare I admit
The Zroni Precurors just never spawn.
@@A_Spec Indeed they are just hoarding all to themselves just as one expects from -that greedy god king leto- a precursor
I love the “the motes must flow” quote from the Riggan Commerce Exchange when you order motes from them.
I've only ever seen another empire get the Galatron, relatively early too, and my god the galaxy was a bloodbath. Everyone loses their collective shit
My first determined exterminator games, I spawned behind a choke point in a corner of the map, I had 3-4 actual systems taken before I tried to get past the choke point only to find out it was a sanctuary. Game’s nearly impossible by this point as I had advanced neighbors and both pirate factions near me as well. This is the same day I learned that the sanctuary doesn’t attack pirates... I’m still just about 30-40 years into the game and can’t do anything
Have you considered, getting good.
I've seen most of these, but not Galatron, Another Imperium, and Crystal Enclave.
I think before I realized how rare it was I once saw an AI empire with the Galatron but never went to war with them for it.
Which I now regret, immensely.
There's an achievement for it too, taking it from someone else that is.
@@A_Spec dammit. I have never seen it since. Someday I shall. I need a break from Stellaris though, I have finally defeated all 3 crises on 25x Grand Admiral with the current meta balance. I got lucky and finally the Unbidden didn't spawn in my sector of space within 2-3 jumps of my major homeworlds, lol.
In one of my games, the Prikki-Ti got the Grand Herald. They steamrolled through a quarter of the huge galaxy by year 50. It was... interesting.
One of the funniest/rarest events I think I ever had was the "space puppies" event that occurred due to constructing a ring world. I think it maybe have been due to a certain system, but essentially these puppies were from a removed planet and inhabited a portion of the ring world. Upon later investigate you found they were abducting and eating workers lol.
For me the rarest event that I have only seen once was the L-Gate Community that spawned in the center of the galaxy. Not sure what that event was but it was pretty cool.
Not really an event but since I only have the console version currently, my favorite thing to do is let a fallen emp. wake up and expand a little(while at good relations with them) and let them build special buildings so that when we go to war I can take some sweet megastructures i cant build like the science megastructure that gives you 100 of each science
Not just that, but fun fact- Awakened empires can build other megastructures, even if you don’t have the required DLC! I found this the other day in my Ironman run, the enigmatic observers built a Interstellar Assembly
@@firepowerx-venezuelangame3890 yea , the fallen empire that survives to awaken had either a titan or colossus module on the home system starbase(dont have the mod for it) and I cant use it :(
@@therandomone3618 Oof, don’t have Apocalypse? And FEs always have Titan/Colossal assembly yards by default in their starbases
Recently got it for console, never had a fallen empire wake up, just started a scion origin hoping I would get a fallen empire war or atleast wake up, any way to increase the chances of them waking up?
@@gigilishd8699 you can declare war after insulting them or claiming a system. They usually wake up atound 2300 ot so depending on your settings
Mr. Aspec, you forgot the super rare anomaly, with an event chain called Ancient Hulk. Gives you a 25 tile Gaia world in the end.
Paridaya / Mardok Vol? Ye, that one is pretty crazy too,
I only ever get the brain slugs when I am turning my organics into synthetics
Interesting, I usually run mechanist origin and wondered if that was why I never saw brains lugs anymore. I miss them
One of my favorites was having a planet with Titanic lifeforms; Taming them and using them as ground forces.
The rarest thing that I can think of is not an event, but still the rarest in the game. The spawning of a green sun in the universe.
I think the rarest thing I've ever wanted to find and never could was Earth in WW2 with the uniquely-named armies.
I haven't seen Sanctuary in a while, so long that I started to believe they accidentally removed it from being able to spawn.
I never got Horizon Signal. 😅 I always wanted to play with it.
The rarest event for me is the Prethoryn Scourge been playing the game for years and not once i had them show up :(
My first 4 runs had the Prethoryn Scourge. :P
I forced them to spawn in options and they're pretty meh. Hope you like bombarding planets.
I always get unbidden, only once had contingency and once prethoryn. I always stay away from jump drives, so I don't know what gives.
@@battlesheep2552 can't stop ai from taking it
Brain slug I get this almost every match lol. I have 15 science ships running around in beginning game.
I got Crystal Enclave event and just thought it was a common event. So unless they buffed the spawn chance of it turns out I got the rarest event in the game to happen, without knowing it.
Paridayda is a rare event that should be on this list.
the event allows you to find a Gaia world which has primitives on it and a special motiver.
That event is really rare.
Oh yeah, the fungoid pilgrims that got genocided so hard they became primitives. I got that event once.
The galatron CAN be gotten by the AI from the caravaneers.
Never forget the first time I ever played, I opened the Reliquary for the first time... and low and behold, I got the Galatron. Had no idea it was this rare.
I have an iron man spawn with a ruined matter decompressor,ruined nexus and a ruined ring near me and sanctuary.
I had a really good spawn from about 10 matches ago, I spawned in a group of 6 systems with only a single exit choke point, ruined Dyson Sphere, Ruined Matter Decompressor, Ruined Ring world, an L-gate and Cybrex precursor, as void dwellers... Let's just say that about 20 years after I got mega engineering marked the point where I went from being a decent empire with a series of defensive choke points made of fortress habitats, into an unstoppable monstrosity of unbreakable defenses and endless waves of assault fleets warping out of every L-gate to wage war across the galaxy. That incident has led to one additional rule within the group of friends that I regularly play multiplayer stellaris with, that if I specifically, am to control an L-gate, it will be seen as an act of war and will be taken off of me by force.
@@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 lol sounds like they underestimated you
@@arounor it's less that they underestimated me, and more that I just wasn't playing the way I usually did before hand, because the previous 4 matches I was either a megacorp or a nice pacifist empire of my design called Gaia Incorporated which was based around using Gaia Seeders to turn relatively crap worlds into Gaia worlds that I would sell off to my friends for massive piles of minerals and alloys. Those first few matches were recon, learning their playstyles, preferred ship configurations, basic setups, all that jazz. That match was a step before my more standard playstyle, because I saw the megastructures, and decided to be a ticking time bomb, one which they didn't realise they had to deal with, after that, my standard Plantoid, Post Apocalypse, Radiotrophic, Fanatical Purifier builds came out to play interspersed with driven assimilators to keep them on their toes. But Survivor, Radiotrophic and Budding, is a nasty combination.
@@kiritotheabridgedgod4178 I think I want to play with you I would learn allot
@@arounor To be fair, I'm not that good, just good at figuring out what things can be combined in unexpected ways in order to become game breaking. If you want to truly be a dick though, Radiotrophic, Post Apocalypse Hivemind, and figure out how to get yourself armegedon bombardment stance, at which point, turn every world you take off the enemy into a tomb world, and settle your pops on it, if they want to take it back off of you, they then have to deal with a tomb world where likely the only pops they have that can be happy there, are slowly dying out due to no longer being connected to your Hivemind.
Stellaris “the another galactic imperium” speed run when?
Anyone: [Mentions Worms]
Stellaris Players: WHAT WAS SHALL BE!
Years ago I encountered a previous version of my empire through a anomaly. They were in a different universe. I think we could have some limited interaction between us. This was 4 or 5 years ago I haven't seem it since.
I had this in my first 2 games and assumed it was a common occurrence. Maybe it's the sol start that makes it more likely
I managed to get brain slugs with my ocean paradise ironman run. This run also ended up having the cybrex, sanctuary, and the robot fallen empire near me. It was a little annoying but I got L gate dragons after which was a nice surprise, followed by a not so nice surprise of the purifiers to my south killing the curators and artisans. The strangest part was they were lythoids and rivaled my genetic ascension species for the most prolific in the galaxy.
The event where you find the three vials that each give you a different trait is a lot rarer than it used to be. Also I've only ever seen the Sea of Consciousness once.
I got Wanderlust to start on my second ever play-through. I had no idea what the quest-line was really pointing to, until "Galactic Power Surge."
Whoops
whot wanderlust does in thr mean time ?
Timestamp:
- 0:45 ---------------- Sanctuary
- 2:00 ---------------- Project Blue Lotus
- 3:34 ---------------- Horizon Signal
- 5:06 ---------------- Distant Stars Events
- 6:49 ---------------- The Galatron
- 8:52 ---------------- Another Imperium

Actually, I got the Horizon Signal in my very first game of Stellaris ever... And I didn't realized what you could effectively do with it. :D
Same here xD
Think I've seem Sanctuary spawn once, but I constantly play on huge maps so that prolly helps out a bit
I also once got Brain Slug with the Oracle governor and, uh, the slugs completely negated the Oracles negatives to research so.....
I remember my first huge galaxy game without mods:
1: Fought a empire for a broken ringworld.
2: Found a ringworld with the cybrex events.
3: Found sanctuary.
So yes 3 ringworlds on vanilla stellaris.
Best game yet if were talking vanilla.
I was playing as a Rougue Servitor in a havely modded game recently and I got Nivilac. I honestly thought it was from a mod. Also,Rougue servitors have a special interaction with it were thwy can settle the pops on their capital
I've actually seen Sanctuary a few times. I'm playing a game right now and just found it on the other side of an enemy territory.
I got the galatron on my first reliquary, I now open reliquaries whenever I can.
Funnily enough, I was just playing a payback run and found sanctuary at 15 jumps from My Home system
Haven't watched, but Sanctuary for sure. 36 days played and only seen it twice, once pre alloys era, and again a couple weeks ago.Era,
Edit: Sanctuary is by far my favorite system in the game. I had great memories with it the first time and every game I play I want to find it. I got all the primitives to uplift at once and fight each other on the edge of the galaxy, with me being a blocker to leaving the system. Sadly the fight was cut short because of the the end game crisis but was fun while it lasted
Another rare event. The Wanderlust event (The rogue scintist event) - i literally saw it once. Once
Is that the one where they go down to the planet of primitives?
Worst event in the game, so annoying.
Its also tied to the Unbidden. Makes is spawn more.
me and my friends get it so fucking much for some reason. I've gone back through the saves, and out of the 50 most recent saves we played, you want to know how many times we got it? thirty two. It's so fucking annoying, please, absorb our wanderlust luck..
Funny I got the brain slug twice recently, i also got the horizon signal when it first came it, it was creepy, and I didn't know what to do.
05:42 I remember the brain Gu'Aold! I think it was on my very first Stellaris play through where I encountered them. I never did again after several hundreds of hours. It started to become a myth to me, I am glad to know I didn't imagine it and it is real.
I think I've seen the crystal enclave event, but I didnt pursue it, as it was a game that I have lost xD I've played void dwellers a lot, so that would make sense.
I love how I got the Galatron on the first try at the first game after Megacorp came out and never since then.
I've gotten the Galatron twice! I always try to roll for it! Didn't know how rare it was, but that makes sense!
To be honest, the first time I found it was on one of my opposing empires, so I decided to... fix that. It deserved to be in the hands of the Imperial Nexus, after all.
Furry!
@@Roketsune No u
Never seen three dragons in one place before been playing a week straight and can not kill one dragon yet
Can't wait to hear about the attempts (and subsequent failures) of trying to get the 'Another Galactic Imperium' to happen.
I was shocked to see that on the wiki, your video, and ps4 achievements that The Galatron is that rare but to my surprise I had obtained it on my first game with the DLC to get it. I feel extremely lucky and sad that it will take a while to get it again.
Also! Do you think you can do a vid about hive minds? I wanna know what you think if they are fine how they are or if you think they could be so much more if paradox just overhauled them? Maybe even give them their own spices pack like synthetic dawn?
Not a rare event but back when you had to explore your own solar system I found out that Jupiter was apparently not a gas giant
A deceptive giant, great to have
Kind of expected the Grand Herald. I havent seen it at all since its spawn chance got nerfed
I got the Horizon Signal on one of my FIRST games. My society of Technocrats converted to Spiritualism between the Shrine of the Gods and this and it's was incredible. I had no idea what was going on and I've HOPED to have it happen again because it was super interesting.
My current game JUST got Brain Slugs and they are AWESOME.
Yeah, Horizon Signal went full ham on the lore, and I think encouraged Paradox to fiddle with events more in a way they and the custodian team really are now.
The towel
I actually had the cryalline enclave spawn in the game I am currently playing as youtube's autoplay sent me here. I didn't realize it was so rare!
Woo!
Sanctuary, Impossible Organism and Horizon Signal are the ones I "usually" get when it comes to rare events.
But is baffling that you can rebuild the Galactic Imperium and that Crystal Enclave. I never had any of these
Got the Galatron one time.
However it was in a galaxy where there were five total exterminating empires, two machine, two hives, one shielded gecko mass murderers, that had taken over more than half the total space in a huge galaxy. I had one fourth of that galaxy when the grand crusade to stop the massacres started before I got the galatron near the end of the last war against the second devouring swarm after killing off the two machine empires with only the mass murdering geckos, the weakest of the five left to finish off.
So the only time I ever got it there was literally zero need for influence to take over anything as there was almost no part of the galaxy not touched by an automatic enemy that you don't need influence to make claims against.
My two rarest events: Dragonscale Armor, and the Void Spawn. Those two, or battling the Khan. I’ve seen dozens of Hordes raise up, but by the time they get near my borders the Khan dies of old age or assassins.
oof... Dragonscale is pretty common
@@capitalistball2924 I’ve killed the Dragon and claimed Dragon’s Hoard hundreds of times. Only pre Le Guin update on consoles did I ever see it. Since then, nothing..
@@j.vinton4039 I feel you lol
I haven't seen (good) brain slug and calvin in a long time, but the evil brain slugs appear pretty often. I finally got the galatron this summer, right after they upped its chances in a patch. Never seen Blue Lotus, Crystal Enclave, or, well, anything beyond the first galactic imperium, big shocks there.
I did not know some of these existed. I loved the brain slug event because it was a fun story. The horizon signal was my least favorite event chain to get multiple times. My issue with the the event chain was how much it changed my empire so radically which made me sad.
I remember I was starting my newest game of stellaris and started reading relics I never got before and discorvered the galatron and thought "damn this is OP!". A few hours in and tried my luck at the reliquaries and I actually freaking got the galatron! Think i used all my luck for a whole month for that.
A note on sactuary, If one of the Pre-FTL empires enters space, the system will permenantly stop them from expansion by repeatedly killing the starbase, and making it impossible for them to make any ships.
12:27 you know, I just found this in a game. And now I have the will to continue said game.
In my first devouring swarm run I had sanctuary spawn 3 jumps from my capital on a small spiral galaxy. Needless to say it went a long way towards ensuring the swarm devoured all.
I've gotten brain slugs a lot. It tends to happen really early when the instability it causes is a massive PITA. I have never seen the infinite pop species even once.
I’ve only seen the brain slug once. I already had a lot events that made my technocrat empire research things really quick. The brain slug helped make things ridiculously quick to research thing.
I've seen Nivlac exactly 1 time in over 3500 hours of playtime. It was while I was playing a RS that had lost its organic pops in a series of unlikely events involving a xenophobic fallen empire. It was one of the more memorable games I've played.
Most of those I have seen and experienced, I have even once had the ring world spawn litterally next to my home system (in 3.4 no less) but then there are some of those that I honestly never knew about.
