I don't understand what the point of galactic hyperthermia is.
Every other crisis makes some sense, even if I think it can be dumb (cough behemoth cough)
Nemesis -> Ascend to become shroud gods of this world by killing everyone -> get ships to kill everyone
Cosmogenesis -> Make your own universe and become literal gods in your own world -> Get fallen empire tech and synaptic laithe to accomplish it faster
Behemoth -> If you are the biggest monster, then no other monster can eat you (stupid, but at least there's a sequitur) -> Get giant kaiju to eat stuff that gets bigger by eating.
Meanwhile, hyperthermia is um... we're gonna blow up the galaxy because... uh would be mad funny or something? Profit, maybe, I guess?
When you pick hyperthermia its presented as "Whoa, we discovered a way to crystalize heat, this will be great for the industry!" but like... in what way? All hyperthermia crisis levels do is let you generate more heat. I don't see any industry boons, or any reason why my society would want to pursue this crisis.
It genuinely seems like we're trying to blow up the galaxy for shits and giggles.
As a whole hyperthermia seems like a shittier nemesis. Nemesis turns stuff into black holes while hyperthermia turns it into red stars, except nemesis at least gets some military bonuses, and requires you to do stuff instead of playing itself. Can someone explain? Am I missing something?
Also sidenote, when I got the crisis I had a special project to adapt my species to like heat, but it didn't do anything when completed so idunno if I missed a story beat or something.
