With the release of the Stellaris Toxoids DLC I’ve decided to revisit the idea I had for a streamed roleplay playthrough.

Currently the idea is to do a playthrough of humanity (so original) but using the Relentless Industrialists feature, which allows you to pollute your planet for increased resource production.
A version of future history where we never correct our destructive ways and drive ourselves to ecological ruin, forcing us to spread among the stars to survive.

I kind of like the idea of Earth being reduced to a barely habitable, if at all habitable tomb world, and then dealing with the repercussions of that as humanity moves offworld for survival.
And if life does survive it will be very interesting debate on if Earth should continue to remain the capital planet of the empire.
