I think it was maybe this episode where I encounter the "new" way Habitats work (i.e. have worked for like... a year, but I haven't played in a while). After the video I do check the wiki to see what the deal is with the whole Habitat Central Complex vs Major Orbital vs Minor Orbital. Honestly seems like a HUGE improvement to reduce micromanagement and I'm excited to put it to use.
There was a change to rare resources, you get them through miners not though buildings now. You need to check planetary features. This is something you have kept missing for years, bonuses don't just show up as planetary modifiers you can easily see. Some of your worlds you will want to swap from something to also having miners to get motes, gases and crystals.
Ah still haven't learned to check planet features for bonus resources. There should be no need to ever build the motes, crystals, or gases buildings if you optimize which planets mine for those. Also 1 per empire buildings typically don't care which planet they are built on because their effect is empire wide now.
Would highly recommend the visual mod that expands the top toolbar to show strategic resources...no idea why there's an extra click involved in base game, so easy to miss shortages/deficits.
Hey, so I haven't been watching super closely but can anyone explain why the head of research only has one big eye in the middle? Did humanity's genes get modified or something? I missed when that happened and just noticed a few minutes into the video.

Don’t forget to land your armies on the planets, as you have taken the systems but not the planets.
The planet Farr'Kett has got 7 features, might be worth checking out to see if it has natural resources or other nice goodies.

Good to see you're nearly done with the problem at your back, and it gave you a chance to build up more strength to face the true enemy.

Focus your habitats on Trade as Trade is not effected by habitability just stability.

It is an alien leader Quill recruited.
