What Nihilistic Acquisition does

Modifiers from the perk's modifier block, then the game's own effect texts (the custom tooltips its card shows).

Unlocks the Raiding bombardment stance, which in turn allows us to abduct pops from besieged planets and resettle them to our own worlds.

Nihilistic Acquisition requirements

Read from the perk's possible (to pick it) and potential (to see it) blocks; the game's own texts where it has them, our words otherwise.

Who can see it (potential)

In the game

The notion of self-determination cannot be a moral absolute. Holistic goals clearly outweigh individual concerns.

Console command

Typed in the game's console (the ~ key); achievements are off for that game.

effect add_ascension_perk = ap_nihilistic_acquisition
