Virtuality virtual or Synthetic (organic ascension) virtual? My favorite build of 4.0 has definitely been the organic -> synthetic megacorp to civilianmax with Computation Core Focus. Incentivizes you to play tall, allows you to assimilate pops to reduce clutter, and has a decent flavor for roleplay, hedonistic capitalists living in digital nirvana.
>4.1 will lock Autocthon Monument behind a tech which requires Planetary Unification
>Computation Core Focus will give job efficiency instead of +output
Could have been worse, sometimes these patches totally delete builds I like. I think Synthetic Fertility will be the only way to go from here on, since the unity requirements are so much lower. The Computation Core change doesn’t seem too bad, getting +% research on the extra research your civilians were producing was nice but dwarfed by the amount you get from researchers. +Efficiency means more upkeep as well, but by the time you reach critical mass of civilians you can probably afford it.
I wonder if Memorialists (which will presumably still start you with a monument in 4.1) will become the civilians meta. Overall happy the build got a reasonable nerf and new civics to try.
