So. . . . I just sent a message to Steve earlier regarding the possibility of a concept I had for Aurora4x and thought about the genetic engineering mechanics, telling myself: "If only there were also cyborgs, AI and digital copies" and also how I can overhaul the gene-editing mechanics of the game. That being said, I wonder if it is a good idea to introduce those technologies at various points throughout the game. Say, we have cyborgs, and gene-edited people early in the game, then the mid-game features the rise of semi-sapient AI, and digital copies of your citizens and the late-game sees all the sapient AI (the Singularity in other words) happen.
So, could this be possible? And if so, is it a good idea? I am asking for the sake of knowing BEFORE I even begin to mod the game.
