    Fun build idea I've been playing with for a while, I call it the Salem build. You max out galactic influence and then go one by one declaring everyone else the crisis until only you and your vassals are left. There is nothing like calling that federation member that stole that system you were eyeing a witch and watch all their friends turn on them.

    Primal Calling is my new op trade build. You get +80% (!!!) trade value and +40% Specimen output. Take Megacorp and "Antiquarian Expertise" as a civic. The wrangler counts as a culture worker and gets +1 trade value per level. They outscale trader pretty fast. And you can get 6 of them per planet early on plus the additional from titanic life (one per 20 pops) and more from the curator special building. Taking the Shareholder Values and turning your world into a tomb world will give you additional 40% trade value after year 30. Than you switch it to "Astrogenesis Technologies" to create extra pops and 2 more culture workers per planet (+25% unity per Planet and a huge unity boost per uplift (up to 10K)). I've finished turning all my pops into robots on year 38 with normal speed settings. I didn't even took the trade tradition, since I took diplomacy and formed a trade federation early on. My Robots make 22.75 base trade and over +400% trade value.
    This even matches an Augmentation Bazaars and Cosmogenesis build. But without the need of tier 5 tech.

    Vitrual ascention trade machines are THE best trade empires. This is because of infinite pops, AND they get 3 extra clerks per district that has clerk jobs. that means 3% more trade value per district in addition to whats already there. Ecu world city districts would give 9 clerk jobs per district so that 9%. Simply put, a size 20 ecu world can get 190 clerk jobs easy. plus virtual get a bonus 3 districts from world ascention and this applies to ring worlds.

    Things I hate about a trade build is having to take diplomacy. Can be good to seed your galaxy with a couple of other trade based empires and hope they make the federation for you and save you an entire tradition pick.
    The other thing I hate is the need for migration treaties which leads to having dozens of empire species. I did a psionic xenophobe trade ring and got upto 20k trade value from the ring , still had too many different slaves for my liking but it was very powerful.

    Try this for a build.
    Here Be Dragons, Individualistic Machines Waterproof and Adaptive Frames.
    Catalytic Processing and Marine Machines that are Fanatic Xenophile with Pacifist to later get Agrarian Idyll. Your choice on Democratic or Oligarchic.
    Tradition goals are Mercantile for Adaptive Economic Policies, and Modularity.
    Switch your planet to forge and economy to Militaristic from the start as Pearl divers will make enough Consumer Goods in this case.
    Focus your planet on tech and food with a second planet set to Industrial Forge and any other available wet planets should also be focused on food and terraforming to ocean asap.
    Now to explain the why of this build.
    Anglers produce Food and Trade. Mercantile AEP adds unity from that Trade. Robots have access to Bio-Reactor and Advanced Bio-Reactor adding energy and exotic gasses. Agrarian Idyll adds amenities.
    Your Pearl Divers will produce enough Consumer Goods while adding just a bit more Trade.
    Catalytic Processing Converts the Food into Alloys at your Industrial District Forges and Rare Resources at your Chemical Plants, Exotic Gas Refineries, and Synthetic Crystal Plants. Modularity adds Living Metal to your Forges and those are needed for your modular pops and Dragons.
    Truly this build gets everything it could need from food and it's kinda a bit of silly fun to be harvester bots that don't even eat.
