Yeah but I'd like to visit my family and the nearest charging station is halfway across the state

You mean, "Aliens are labor, food and meatshields. Robots are to keep them in check and profitable."
Then it hits the Stellaris subs and shit get weird
Twitch that is some damn good bait
Hidden aspect of Klingon biology, they are seahorses
The cut off is if the clone is aware, long as it's a vegetable in a tube you can do whatever
You can't sneeze when asleep
Or we could just embrace minor cultural differences instead of smoothing humanity out into boring orthodoxy
No technology is a dead end, you can't run trains 30 miles out of town for 6 families already over 500 acres. Just because a technology doesn't benefit urbanization doesn't make it worthless.
Stellaris console is surprisingly good UI wise actually
That massive number of resources, planets, pops, fleets, and everything else is not only understandable but feels magnificent when you have them dancing to your tune. Also my brother in SpongeBob, you literally got mad at a tutorial. On a more serious and hopefully helpful note, the game grows on you like a fungus. It's really not much worse than Civ. Energy is gold, Minerals and Alloys are effectively Production, Unity is Culture (and works almost identically to Civ V, you can't use it to outright win is all) and the scinces are well Science. As for all the others, my man those are your Strategic and Luxury resources. But that's only where the fun starts, the real madness is civ and species generation. I once made space orbital dwelling, advanced robotics having, xenophobic, pacifists that relied on slave labor stolen from nations that declared war on my seemingly defenseless empire. I also made the Megachurch of Dewy, Cheatham and Howe.
Edit: I almost forgot the best terrible civ I made, OnlyStreams.
Yeah the current weight/range/battery combo for me in my almost entirely rural state is an ICE vehicle as much as I like EVs they just can't get me where I need to be with the current infrastructure. Unfortunately my attempts is also revoking its green energy tax stuff, got to love Republicans. But at least we got rare earth metals now, so that means nothing has to change! (God I love my state but hate the people running it)
