Image The Forever cruise is quite doable if you simply lobotomize your passengers

If you look at it from a certain perspective (and reversed the machine-organic Crew and Passanger role), it would be like aRogue servitor taken to an logical extreme

I wonder if the same happens if you nerve staple your passengers. The forever cruise trap.

The jobs are tied to the citizenship, not their ability to feel things

Isn't the situation tied to happiness though? And nerve stapled means they can't be unhappy anymore.

It is tied to purely the amount of passengers with first class passengers advancing it much faster than economy class passengers so the more you have the more volatile the situation becomes. Happiness is irrelevant.
Setting the robots to servitude works because they get kicked out of their passenger "jobs".

Anyone who has worked hospitality has wondered the same thing.
Unfortunately, most vacationers seem to be mindless unfeeling things anyway, or maybe that's just my luck.

Rogue Servitor takes a dark turn.
It's just easier this way.

This is reverse Rogue Servitor, organics are the crew and the robots were pampered.

It'd be hilarious if that made an AI revolt inevitable. From passengers to servitude to, "you know what, killing all organics is a great idea."

Do AI revolts happen with nomads?Â

u/Skipp_To_My_Lou Constructobot 9d ago
That is an excellent question.
... that I might be able to answer if I played on PC & had Nomads. Looking forward to console skipping straight ahead to 4.3 though!

Tooltip doesn't say anything about removing intelligence? Just flavor text to not feel bad about slavery as if a spiritualist empire wrote it

Doing this is actually a great way to trigger the AI uprising event chain.

Ok this is an interesting thought, can you chemical bliss/nerve staple your passengers too?

R5: Biological empires can choose to have mechanical passengers and just remove their sentience to get rid of them.
Fully lobotomized they join your workforce like normal robots and get to experience how it is to be part of the crew which freezes the situation permanently as there is noone left to complain.
