how to play stellaris lithoids on high sierra

High habitability = higher growth quite literally. Your high habitability means you have higher growth on other world types to offset the lithoids growth downside. Your high habitability means you can colonise worlds easier

You pay less for leaders as they last longer Lithoids are very strong but situationally strong. Also they can't have traits like rapid Rejn wow, you ever played lithoids? They don't live longer, they have +50years but they start 50-70years older than normal, they eat rocks so you need a lot of workers to mine rocks, with normal empire you can just make starbases farms and get all the food for free from starbases, +50% habitality is nice but only when you start game becouse later it's useless, more army damage is just useless and they also have -25% pop growth and pop construct and in this meta pop growth and tech is top 1 thing.

Atm Lithoids are one of the stronger races due to these bonuses.

They are supposed to be balanced by a -25% Pop growth penalty, but that can be reduced with Rapid Breeder Trait and Technology. Basically you just set up several mining worlds and never worry about Minerals again (Even better if you have Matter Decompressor, basically Infinite Minerals). Originally posted by Hunkthebear:Lithoids have several things going for them, they consume Minerals and not food (No need for Agricultural districts/Farms), +50% Habitability means they DON'T need to Terraform due to this stacking with any other +Hab Modifier (+10% Trait, +20% Tech, ect.) thus saving Time and Resources, They live longer meaning you keep higher level leaders longer, and they even come with +50% Army Health so your armies last longer.
