#Endless space 2 tips how to#
Cravers: An aggressive robotic insectoid like race who only know how to destroy.This recklessness with testing science's abilities has led them to blow up their own moon out of curiosity. Sophons: A peaceful race of intellectual aliens who have a great affinity for science, pushing the boundaries of what science can do with little reason than their own curiosity.Players begin by choosing which faction they wish to be: Will it end the same for them, or will they find another way to live. Now, other species have gained the ability to travel and colonise through space, and begin to follow the path of the Endless. This caused a civil war within the Endless race as they became two factions The Virtual, those who chose to abandon their mortal bodies and The Concrete, who remained in their physical forms.Įventually this civil war ended up wiping the entire race out as The Virtual and The Concrete destroyed one another over the acquisition of Dust.
Eventually not only did they discover space travel, but how to terraform and even turn their own bodies into an essence like conciousness and living as a virtual soul becoming one with the Dust, a nanobot like technology that allowed development at rapidly increased rates. Each faction has their own individual story going on, but the main backstory is of the Endless, a now extinct race of space faring beings that managed to develop at an astronomical rate.
