So the Toxic God IS a Colossus. (2024)

That or it just gives you a unique Colossus as a perk... or something. We know this because it is mentioned separately from the Toxoid ship sets in the changelog.

I know some people found the possibility of just getting a second Colossus out of the questline incredibly lame, but what is the general mood about this?

Or there is a new toxic colossus weapon type, or it was just highlighted as it's teased in the trailer.

Not that the origin can't tie into this, but I don't see the necessity of it being connected with the new colossus model just from that being mentioned separately from the general ship models.

I hope the colossus is an option for an ending path, as a gift from a gracious god and not the god itself.

If the god is merely a colossus, even one with an AI, I'll be sorely dissappointed.

It's wonderful and a much needed expansion to the terraforming choices available.

I would like to get the details before having any opinion about it. The DD from Tuesday should have revealed it but sadly it hasn't.

That it wasn't revealed means it's most likely integral to the Knights of the Toxic God storyline, which they didn't talk about in order to prevent spoilers.

That's the problem. I normally read a DD handling a certain topic to get information, including spoilers... If an integral part is missing, what's the point? And the forum has a really good spoiler function that can hide certain parts from those that doesn't want to know them. I (only speaking for myself) would like to get all the information before playing it myself.

According to the stream, you do get a bunch of bonuses out of the quest line, including interactions with toxic blockers. The Colossus seems to be the final prize though.

It's wait and see regarding how worthwhile it is. Toxifying planets only to Detox them later sound like a bit of a pain in the ass honestly. I'm really hoping all the bonuses you get via the quest come in to play somehow.

I guess they don't trust us forum users. I wonder why. xD

While I understand your perspective, not revealing the final outcomes of Knights of the Toxic God was a conscious decision made by the Devs and Marketing team, that we did not want to spoil the endings of the quest because we think they're really cool.

If you're that inclined for spoilers, there will be content creators who get early access to Toxoids and permission to stream on Monday of next week in advance of release.. and for sure, there will be spoilers in those streams.

There is no mention of the Toxic God ship or colossus.

I don't get it. The Colossus is mentioned under Toxoids and Toxic God has been confirmed not to be tied to Toxoid portraits.

Because that section is features coming in the Toxoids Species Pack, not features unique to Toxoid portraits.

Ok, so the Toxoid God is the mentioned-separately colossus (it's still weird that it is under "New Toxoid Empire Art:" if its not limited to Toxoid Empires at all). And I suppose it can toxify planets.

It seems likely it's the giant creature we vaguely see in the toxoid's trailer. It fires a beam at a planet, just like a colossus, and turns it toxic.

The marketting team already revealed it on the steam page the minute you uploaded it on steam though, it explicitly mentions a biological colossus on the Origin’s description.

Hehe! I guess noone noticed, because barely anyone reads these descriptions XD
