You've Been Playing Synth Fertility Wrong in Stellaris 4.3

Описание: Hey Commanders! In this video we'll cover the Synth Fertility. It's probably one of if not the strongest origin in Stellaris Patch 4.3 due to several reasons:

1st - Quickest ascension possible without any need to unity rush. Normally we want to unity rush to ascend, and that prevents us from tech rushing in the start. With this build, we need to tech rush in order to ascend, which is perfect.
2nd - No need for an ascension perk slot. This ties into the 1st advantage, but it's a huge one since it leaves much more room for late game flexibility and saves a mid-game ascension slot.
3rd - Synth ascension is one of the strongest ascensions by itself, and in 4.3 it's probably stronger than all bio ascensions due to how nerfed bio is. Pair that with the fact that synth ascension got basically untouched by 4.3 nerfs if you go the virtual route, you end up a monster by the mid game.
4th - Identity repository, although nerfed, provides you with a significant amount of early tech and later on job efficiency on your capital. It's a good building.

Physical used to be the obvious choice: stronger modularity traits, Dark Matter production through physicists, and unlimited Megacorp scaling. Patch 4.3 gutted all three. Modularity traits got cut in half, Dark Matter Consortium lost its physicist production, and Megacorp Authority now scales off roboticists with a hard cap instead of civilians. Physical lost every pillar
that made it strong. Virtual survived almost untouched and in a patch that punishes wide expansion for everyone else, Virtual's advantages got relatively stronger.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this video, as always Commanders!
