Now to delve a little deeper into the DLCs.
The Machine Age
The first of the major expansions, Stellaris: The Machine Age includes, wait for it... mechanics, narratives, and cosmetics all related to the themes of cybernetics, synthetics and machine empires in the Machine Age. OK, breath.
Basically, this DLC explores what affect converting a large section of your population into machine bodies could have on a society. Good luck navigating your way through the social and ethical issues that arise!
Stellaris: The Machine Age also contains three new Ascension paths, including an end game crisis, a become the crisis path, and a cybernetic and machine ship set. You can find out more about Stellaris: The Machine Age by watching the Stellaris: The Machine Age Release Date Announcement Trailer.
Cosmic Storms
Cosmic Storms is a mechanical expansion, thereby focusing on evolving the mechanical features of the game. In this case, Cosmic Storms improves the mechanical nature of the storms of Stellaris. For example, prior to Cosmic Storms, these powerful weather fronts have been out of your control and purely negative. Cosmic Storms changes that.
Indeed, with the introduction of the Cosmic Sands expansion pack, you will be able to research technologies that allow you to forecast, and even influence these storms. What do you think? I mean, the idea of using these powerful galactic phenomena to your advantage sounds pretty awesome to me!
The Grand Archive
The last of the DLCs, The Grand Archive, is a story pack that focuses on collecting, growing, and genetically modifying specimens from across the Galaxy. What you do with the specimens you produce, however, is down to you. No matter how nefarious your intent!
Just be warned, as well as two new types of fauna, The Grand Archive also includes a mid-game crisis, which may or may not be associated with one of the new specimens, or with some of your more devious workings. Tread carefully!
