Stellaris: Grand Archive set for launch October 29th as Paradox teams up with Abrakam

Paradox Interactive teamed up with another developer again for the new Stellaris: Grand Archive DLC, which is blasting off on October 29th.

After working with Behaviour Interactive on Stellaris: Cosmic Storms, this time they collaborated with Abrakam (Roguebook, Faeria). This is not a full expansion, but a "story pack" that will have you uncover and showcase the rarest treasures of the cosmos in a Grand Archive, a massive new megastructure. You'll build up a collection of xeno-geological artifacts, relics from forgotten civilizations, and untamed space fauna which will allow you to make genetically-modified fleets. There's also some new deadly space creatures too.

YESSS. Finally! I've been waiting for this one since it was announced early this year. I've always loved the alien zoo event, and have wished for literally years that it would one day go from a few preset species to a full-fledged system in the game. We deal with the sapient species, and occasionally a few pre-sapients, and there's some space fauna, but we don't see all the non-sapient species the galaxy must be teeming with apart from a few mentions in events. Time to collect 'em all! With mega-structure sized ~~Pokéballs~~ Gravity Snares…

And if that was all there was I'd be happy, but a new midgame crisis? New civics, origins, relics, and music? Two whole new tradition trees?!? I know what I'll be doing come the 29th…

If i weren´t so incredibly slow in my gameplay, i really would enjoy games like this. But it takes me so long to twiddle the knobs that i forgot what the initial plan was. Sigh.
