Description

The Plantoids Species Pack introduces a new phenotype for players with unique traits and civics, new ships, and a selection of new player portraits and cityscapes. Plantoids gives players the ability to play as a plant-like species that has gained sentience and begun to spread its tendrils across the galaxy, planting the roots of new civilizations on new planets. From new species traits that allow for budding populations and phototropic resource needs to the ability to terraform new Gaia Worlds, players can seed their empires and branch out in new ways.

Plantoids includes:


  • New Civics
  • New Species Traits
  • New Species Portraits
  • New Templates for Plantoid Ships
  • New Cityscape Art

UPDATE (2021)

As of the 3.1 update for Stellaris, the Plantoids Species Pack has really branched out, now including Plantoid-specific traits and civics. Players can now make their citizens phototrophic or even radiotrophic; they can take on the Idyllic Bloom civic that allows for terraforming planets into Gaia Worlds, or the Catalytic Processing civic to turn food into alloys.

These additions are available now at no extra cost in the Plantoid Species Pack!

Plant People. If you want people and their ships/stations etc. that are plant-based, get the pack. Maybe not full price unless you utterly love Stellaris. But overall, yep, just adds plant people, nothing too much,

Do not purchase Stellaris. It is not possible to complete a game of Stellaris due to several concurrent issues. The autosave functionality will eventually start to crash your game, becoming a guarantee in the last

I DO NOT ADVISE PAYING FOR PARADOX DLCs, ESPECIALLY AT FULL PRICE: The latest DLC (not this one) replaces assets which could have been fully made with real artistry and voice acting with AI generated slop. If publishers

7.5/10 Pretty good DLC. Adds new plantoid civics, traits, and species. A new cityscape and shipset, alongside a unique origin have also been added. Didn't really add much to the game, but atleast their ships look cool.

While this DLC adds a nice touch to the game the content is quite limited in scope and depth both. You can get trivial amounts of certain resources, a novel way to breed population which changes nothing about the

I have been playing Plantoids exclusively since LEM, Idyllic bloom is a must for my stellaris games, the vibe and mechanics are just perfect for me, Plantoids perfectly emulates what a plant like empire would be, you
