Gambling on Blueprints 2
High Engineer had never fought such a well-funded battle.
So he decided to think carefully about how to fight this one.
He first opened the civilization panel—
Probably because he had taken the fusion route, this panel had two pages. One page, "Mechanical," was lit up, while the other, "Carbon-Based," was dark.
High Engineer switched to the "Mechanist Civilization" page.
The civilization description for "Level Three Mechanist Civilization" had lit up long ago.
But this was still the first time High Engineer had looked at it.
Mechanist Civilization: This civilization followed the path of mechanical modification. This path extended in every direction, allowing travel toward any known mechanical world, as well as toward mechanical worlds filled with the unknown.
[Under Mechanist Civilization, knowledge fusion experience cost -50%] [Under Mechanist Civilization, professional knowledge-chain fusion experience cost -50%] [Under Mechanist Civilization, "Mechanical Species Modification" experience cost -30%] [Under Mechanist Civilization, "Top-Level Mechanical Creation" success rate +20%] [This civilization belongs to the mechanical civilizations]
Mechanist Society (Mechanical Civilization): This civilization's society did not value the original forms of species. Modified humans, mechanical lifeforms, artificial intelligences, and androids could all coexist harmoniously within it. Its mechanical ideology was "Mechanical Pacifism," and its attraction to mechanical species was +50%.
The only standard considered in this society was the ability to create machines. Mechanical research +20%.
Because it was a modified society, species-based hegemony -40%.
Because it was a mechanical society, attraction to carbon-based species -60%.
Because it was a species-modification society, species purity obsession: 0.
Civilization Core: Not unlocked.
Civilization Traits: Not unlocked.
"It fits my impression pretty well."
In High Engineer's memories, the Mechanist Civilization was one of the few oddball civilizations among all the mechanical civilizations that neither pursued a mechanical revolution nor enforced mechanical supremacy. Its
