heres an idea for a rift:

Industrial World:
Begining:
As we enter the other side of the rift,we see a planet with a huge ammount of machinery and our atmosphere sensors detect an atmosphere of mainly Industiral pollution. this has raised some questions about our own industrial habits,wondering if our planets will eventually end up like this.
our science community is eager to land on this planet and discover more.
Gain 5000 Consumer Goods and Medium Astral Threads award
Option:Keep Going! (Difficulty:5 if not relentless industrialists,2 if you are)


(after discovering breakthrough)

Industrial Epoch

As we land on the planet,its discovered that there is a species here,but they are so machine-like,we can hardly tell they are organic at all. closer scanning reveals that they are dragon-like lithoids,whose industrial habits have been destroying this dimension for eons. we have arrived at the climax. the pollution has pemiated this dimension,and if nothing is done,life itself will end here. our science community has 3 options:we can accelerate it,demand them to stop,or ovseve it from a distance.
Gain High Astral Threads award.

Options:
Demand them to stop!! (difficulty:10)
Ovserve from distance (diffuclty:1)
Acclerate it (Difficulty:5)
(if Relentelss industiralists civic) Augment there industry with ours (diffifculty:7)


(this is if chose demand them to stop)

Failure on all fronts

our attempts to get them to stop have failed by a massvie margin. they were outraged at our preposal,and they preceded to devour our ship whole. they made the process go faster,and wiped out the entire reality. they are now in ours,and are bent on revenge!
Gains:
Ends astral rift
Lose Science ship and scientist used to explore it
A hostile emprie named Dragon Extradimensional Polluters appears with Fanatic Xenophebe,Materialist ethics. if you see below,whare you make freinds with it,you will see the same empire form with diffrent ethics but its not hostile. more about it is also explained.
system with rift has all planets colonized by this hostile empire and its starbase in the system has its ownership transfered to them
all planets in sytem with rift are turned into machine worlds and are colonized by the hostile empire with 30 pops and each planet has a diffrent designation
all former colonies are destoyed
empire gains a fleet of 25 battleships with a power of 500K or more every 5 years
instantly declare war on Dragon Extradimensional Polluters


(If Overve from a distance)

Oversrvation

Once we got back in orbit,we did not disrupt there plan. we just cranked up the sensors to max and let it happen. the pollution speread thruogh the dimension,and reached ours as a result. life in this dimension other than the species that caused this is over. they now are heading thruogh a rogue wormhole to another dimension to repeat this process.

gain:
High Engineering science reward
Very High Socity reward
Very High astral threads award
System with rift is now in nebula
System with rift has all planets turned into toxic worlds and all colonies destroyed

Options:
End this now (difficulty:10 and results in Failure on All fronts event)
Leave this. we have seen enough. (ends astral rift,scientist gains polluter trait)
Salvage the planet (difficulty:7)


(if on Industrial Epoch you chose Accelerate it)

Wipeout:

We provided some of our technology to try to make it go faster,and we translated there language to allow us to provide some compliments and assistance. this has wiped out there dimension of all life,but luckly,the science ship is fine. They are now going to colonize the now-polluted worlds to create a vast machine empire.

Gains:
ends astral rift
Large Physics Reward
Scientist Gains Polluter trait 60 days after rift
Very Large Socity award


(If on Industrial Epoch you chose Augment there Industry with ours)


Freinds with a Dragon

We spent hours talking with one of there kind untill we were able to communicate without translators. we told him that we have industrial habits like this and we wuold like to help. he was delighted to hear that from us,and reqested a large ammount of energy and Materials. we sent it along with a large ammount of our technology and a few data packets to tell them more about ourselves. we are now on a path that wuold accelerate there efforts massively,and wuold scour this reality of all life. but thats what we want,right?

Gains:
Lose 50K Energy
Lose 50K alloys
Lose 50K Minerals
Lose 50K Consumer Goods
Gain Very Large Astral Threads award

Option:Keep Going! (Difficulty:4)



(After Freinds with a Dragon Event)

End of Life

We Sent more technology to them and continued translation of there language until our people started speaking there language perfectly with minimal teaching. this dimension is now claimed by them,and its life has been ahhnilated. but, in the process,we have made a close ally and a united community,refered to most as a federation,is inevidable.

Gains:
There empire appears as "Dragon Dimensional Polluters" on the contacts screen with Xenophebe and Fanatic Materialist ethics,Relentless Industrialists and Fossil Fuels Civics (without your other mod its Mining Guilds) with 3000 opinion
New System spawns next to the one with the rift named Industrial Dimension with the rift with there Machine World home planet called "Industrial Scourge" and its in a nebula and is full of 9 other machine worlds with colonies (uses speical nameset)
There species has the Lithoid 10 portrait (looks like a dragon) and has the following traits:
Machine World Prefence
Cybernetic
Extradimensonsal
Wasteful
Enduring
Qwarrlsome
Resilent
Federation Forms Named Extradimensional Allance and you pick the type
Ends rift
Very Large Astral threads award
Very Large Socity award
Very large Engineering Award
5 Pops of the species settle on a random,non-gas giant planet without a colony in that system and is teraformed into a machine world
the rift acts like a gateway into the system,cant get there any other way
if all planets have colonies,a new planet is created at system edge instaid
if all planets are gas giants without moons,they settle on the farthest one and is turned into a size 30 machine world
species uses toxioid city and ship type


(if on Overvation event you chose salvage planet)

50% chance:Salvage Sugsesful
we have landed on the planet agein and have dismantled the equipment that was left abandoned after they left. we did leave some though,and manged to use a gravity pulse to push it into our dimension.

Gains:
system with rift gains a size 30 machine world
Large Astral threads award
ends Astral Rift


50% Chance: Salvage Failure
it appears they were not done with the planet. when we landed and started dismantling the factories,they were outraged. a massive warship flew out of the portal and forced us to flee. the science ship lost most of its crew in the process,and we barely made it out alive. the species themselves,they are angry at us to say the least,and have sent a small fleet to tell us not to mess with them agein.

Gains:
Hostile 5 Corvette fleet with Toxoid Skin and Nuclear Missiles
Science ship comes out with 0% armor and sheilds,15% hull,and scientists gains Maimed trait (-40 lifespan)
small astral threads award
ends astral rift
