It's time to learn the history of the empire's transformation into synthetic or cybernetic creatures, and also leave imperfect biological vessels in the past.
The Machine Age major expansion will be released with Stellaris 3.12 “Andromeda” update in the second quarter of 2024.
“Following the divine calling, we will achieve the fusion of the spiritual body and sacred cybernetics. Adherents of the faith of cybernetics – technophants and haruspices – will lead their flock along the path to the perfect unity of flesh and machine.”
“Now our salvation is the digital world… In an effort to survive, a doomed species is trying to move into the virtual world through synthetic fertility.”
The Machine Age expansion will introduce new buildings: mining systems resources using the arc furnace from the molten world and early development of the Dyson sphere by creating a Dyson swarm.
The Machine Age is an age of technological glory, rapid social change and unbridled ambition… But in the depths of space, a danger unlike any encountered before is about to arise – a looming threat that will call into question the very meaning of life.
