Cutholoid Shells
The "Cutholoid Shells" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Cutholoid Shells
The shell of a Cutholoid is not mineral alone, but reinforced with strong biological fibers. These fibers never stop growing, and the composition of some shells is estimated to be over fifty percent biomass. When a Cutholoid grows too large for its asteroid, it will seek another home and begin the integration process again. While they are normally highly territorial, multiple Cutholoids have been observed in orbit of a prime shell candidate. The largest of the creatures will occupy the fresh asteroid, while others will order themselves by size and peacefully swap with the next in line. In this way, the asteroids they inhabit have often been occupied by dozens of previous organisms. The end result is that the smallest asteroids have the highest amount of biological reinforcement, as they have been exchanged most often. These samples contain significant scientific value.
