[previewyoutube=voDMl86jK7k;full][/previewyoutube] The Toxoids Species Pack will be bubbling over with things such as:

New Origins:

Knights of the Toxic God:

In the depths of your homeworld, rumors rumble of a true power buried under the toxic sludge. Do you dare to dredge up the secrets of your past - and potentially unleash them upon the galaxy?

Overtuned:

The candle that burns the brightest, burns itself into the galaxys memory! Play as a species that can gain more and more traits at the cost of its own lifespan, and live for today without worrying about sticking around for tomorrow!

New Civics:

Toxic Baths:

Grow your population fast with a fresh infusion of mutagenic sludge - so long as youre willing to tolerate the costs to your planet and your people!

Scavengers:

One empires trash is your empires treasure! Dont be too proud to harvest debris and destruction for quick construction projects of your own.

Relentless Industrialists:

If youre going to keep up with demand, youre going to have to learn to ignore all of those petty regulations and negative opinions. The surviving population will thank you for all of the resources you gain!

New Traits:

Incubator:

Repopulate quickly when your planet is empty, but those growth facilities can fill up fast!

Inorganic Breath:

Your own people are a source of valuable exotic gasses! Its a shame the respirators are so expensive.

Noxious:

Other species cant stand being around you, and it seems like your mere existence is making your planets awful places to live. On the other hand, other empires have a very difficult time wanting to fight or subjugate you, and its hilarious to see the look on their faces when youre in the room!

Exotic Metabolism:

Youve adapted to ask are you going to eat that? where other species would be calling the hazmat team. Eat faster, live longer, and enjoy a terrifying rainbow of flavors!

New Cosmetics:

Species portraits, ship models, and cityscapes that only a mother could love.

New Advisor:

Grow your empire alongside a relentless source of noxious sarcasm! The Toxoids Species Pack and the Stellaris 3.5 Fornax update will be released on September 20, 2022, and will be playable at PDXCon this Friday and Saturday at Mnchenbryggeriet here in Stockholm. Well be moving to a rapid dev diary release schedule for the next few weeks as we attempt to cover everything thats in the Toxoids Species Pack. Well see you next Tuesday with the next Stellaris Dev Diary.
