It's not that hard really, and even if you forget to do so, reverse depletion forgives your mistakes.

If going Religious and waiting 20 turns would be problematic (aggressive nearby player) or less appealing (found several +approval luxuries), then you would just need to rotate planets. With the religious law, approval would be a non-issue, and with the recent autocracy changes (looking at the +1 Influence per population on the empowered Religious forced law), the T3 law can be reliably sustained in all kind of playthroughs. With a little population micromanagement, they could reach insane levels of FIDS by having 1 Sower for each Craver on every planet.

The Sowers allow even a non micro-intensive Craver player to keep that boost for the whole game.Īssuming this player found and assimilated the Sowers before turn 20, he could switch to Religious ideology -if he wasn't already- to run the T3 Religious Law (Saints and Sinners Bill) right after on turn 40. Even with micromanagement, Cravers empire-wide FIDS production will eventually decrease a little after the boost coming from Extreme Foremen. Something that is completely plausible thanks to Chain-Gang (1 pop->300 manpower) but ridiculously annoying to pull offįrom personal experience, finding the Sowers early as the Cravers is a sureway to victory.

The purpose to this is because regardless of whether or not you start on Husk or a random planet, the trait Extreme Foremen will leave your Home planet at around 60-70% depletion so you need to restore it with the Sowers minor pop as to get the full 150% bonus that comes with Extreme Foremen.Īny other way, such as having the Sowers being constantly rearranged and crap, is a total pain in the ass and since Extreme Foremen has -1 while the Sowers trait has +1, your Sower population would always have to be higher on every planet than your Cravers population. Actually I tested this out and it’s only broken when you create a Major custom faction with the traits Extreme Foremen (150% FIDS on Undepleted -1 Depletion points per turn) and the Sowers Trait (+1 Undepletion Points +2 food) which leads to 0 Depletion points per turn (so basivally you never deplete or rejuvinate planets) and then you have the Sowers Minor population which gives the +1 Undepletion points.
