The Whisperers in the Void reflect the Zroni desire for knowledge, which while not evil unto itself pushed them to make dangerous choices and decisions that would spell the downfall of themselves, their empire, and the whole galaxy.The five pacts you can form with powerful Shroud beings represent the most destructive traits of the Zroni leadership, and in a way reflect the rise and fall of the Zroni Empire.Corporate doublespeak (for Mega-Corp Empires).One of the forms of Gestalt Consciousness.One of the Ethics, either regular or Fanatic variant.The Flavor Text of every technology, building, Galactic Community resolution, policy, and so on is always a perfect match to one of the following:.Every Stellaris player knows that you need more, not less Pops to create such lag as to make the game unplayable. The Vultaum plan was doomed from the start.Presumably unemployed pops living under Utopian Abundance living standards are using similar software to help researchers all around the galaxy, all the while having fun. Scientists today are already making quite good research video games, that uses players to somewhat "automate" a lot of calculations. Unemployed pops are showered with Consumer Goods which are an abstraction for all civilian products that fill "wants" rather than "needs". Research from unemployed people is also simple to explain.An Egalitarian or Fanatic Egalitarian civilization would believe that the purpose of a society is to take care of the people in it, so of course unemployed people being supported by the government would generate Unity. Unity also vaguely represents "you've achieved your goals as a nation" in the form of a resource - Rogue Servitors get it for taking care of their bio-trophies, Fanatic Purifiers get it for purging aliens, and so on.Culture in general (of which art is a big part) is what Unity represents, and on the scale of billions of people like Pops are, some unemployed people will produce great works of art. Even when unable to find work, unemployed pops are not reduced to begging and other degrading acts, and will try their best to stay active, which would usually involve trying their best to create art such as songs, awesome 3D animations, or what have you.Thus, even if their needs are covered, the dread of being useless is worse than most work, so pops will try to look for work. While most people don't like work, most people want to feel like they achieved something.The actual reasons are surprisingly simple: Any unemployed pop under Utopian Abundance living standards generates not only Unity, but Research, but will hold whatever job they qualify for. Any unemployed pop living under Social Welfare living standards generates Unity.
