Let's talk about unique Lithoid gameplay!
Lithoids are silicon-based lifeforms that require minerals for sustenance. They breed slower but are sturdier and have better base habitability.
They start the game with the option to dig up their hibernating POPs on their homeworld.
We noticed some of you ask about Lithoid namelists. There are some specifically for them of course. Here you go. :)
The Lithoid Colossus also comes with a unique design. Here it is in locked and armed positions, turning rocks into smaller rocks. :)
A few more Lithoid structures and ships. From top-left to bottom-right:
Ion Cannon, Transport Ships, Defense Platform, Mining Station.
Primary color is yellow. :)
A Lithoid Colony Ship with black crystals, headed to a new world.
We still have some ship and station models to go over, from the Lithoids Species Pack, before tomorrow's release!
Here is a Lithoid Habitat! Of course, the orange tint is due to the choice of a primary flag color. :)
Hey @spaceshipsporn! Got you something pretty! 🎁
Let's end today with a Lithoid Titan. Side and top views. Whole in intimidating pink!
A destroyer, cruiser and a battleship roll into a rock bar.
A starting Lithoid fleet. 3 corvettes, construction and science ship. This time the primary flag color is blue, and so are the crystals. :)
It's time to take a look at Lithoid station models. Here you can see a fully-upgraded Citadel.
The Empire we're running uses red as their primary color, and, as you can see, with all the crystals the choice of color really pops out on Lithoid structures. :)
[CONCERN] What about "The Flesh is Weak" now?
PDXCON is over, and it's been really fun to finally be able to share some of the things we've been talking about. Its been fun, but also very tiring. When I get back to work tomorrow, it will be in our new office!
Nothing is sacred.
Let's take a look at all the new species in the Lithoids Species Pack, releasing on Thursday, October 24th! Any favorites? :)
Note the city and room background also!
We'll talk about ship, station and megastructure models, as well as unique gameplay mechanics later!
Post-PDX Con system reboot complete!
Here's a Lithoid Synthetic. ⛰️⏩🤖
@Essentia_Modica And possibly victorian dating sims :P
It's been a great and oddly relaxing pdxcon as the first time with no game that I can punlically talk about. Was great meeting, talking to and having beers with so many excited and friendly fans. See you all on the next one!

See you on the other side xenos!
Listen. Massive shadows, looming over a planet in the final seconds of a trailer, never mean anything bad.
