They exercise not require food, instead using energy for maintenance.
Organic pops can not be integrated into a machine empire, and must be displaced or purged.
A special form of purging chosen 'Grid Amalgamation' - kills pops at a moderate speed, but the pops produce a large amount of free energy while being purged (similar to processing for organic empires)

Free features [edit | edit source]

These features were added to the base game past the ane.8 (Čapek) patch meaning that they are free for all players and role without the need of the accompanying DLC.

Revamped ballot mechanics – Autonomous governments no longer go to choose their ruler from a pool of agile leaders, instead it will be centered effectually factions. Candidates are at present representatives of factions and by taking into account the citizenship condition of pops, the odds of a candidate winning an election are determined by the amount of back up a given faction has throughout the empire.

Leader skill changes – Depending on an empires' civics, traditions, policies and a species' traits, leaders can now earn up to 10 skill levels.

Cadre sector governor – Instead of hiring a governor for each core organisation, there is now a unmarried governor that governs all core systems. Additionally, a governor skill level now provides a direct increment to all resource production in a sector contained of their leader traits bonuses.

Transmission Purging – Purging specific pops is once again possible on special cases if said pop is either: a slave, a non-protected pre-sapient or an undesirable.

Simplifying vassal cosmos – Previously information technology was only possible to create vassals by releasing an entire species whose homeworld was captured. Now to create a vassal all that is needed is to select a sector that contains a species (or sub-species) you want to make a vassal of and click on the Create Vassal push button. All systems in the sector will be released every bit one Vassal empire. Vassal empires will receive their overlords' ethics and potency just they are able to choose their own civics. Systems tin can be granted or seized by trade.

Land cribbing and refugees – This new policy governs whether or non newly conquered planets should take tiles appropriated from non-citizen species. It is available for all ethics types and information technology works by clearing some tiles either by driving the occupying species away and turning it into refugees or past outright eliminating them from the game. Homogeneity-seeking empires will make use of this policy meaning that wars of conquest will unremarkably generate refugees.

Pre-sapient policies – New policies are bachelor that dictate how species with the potential to be uplift are treated and they include: extermination, tolerance, protection and employ as livestock.

Initial border condition – This new policy controls the default border status an empire has towards other empires. An open approach ways that ones' borders can be traversed without the need of an open up borders agreement and a closed arroyo means information technology would need one.

Robotic workers policy refinement – This new policy dictates whether robotic pops should exist or not. Outlawing robotic workers volition dismantle all robots within an empire. The currently existing artificial intelligence one is inverse and it now determines if mechanoids can take sentience or not (outlawed) and if they should be enslaved (servitude) or given freedom (citizen rights).
