I'm very curious about this, so hear me out. A new species pack for Stellaris gives access to "lithoids", which appear to be rock aliens. I was wondering how plausible this is. I know that some have proposed that silicon-based lifeforms are plausible but would they really look like rocks? What kind of lifeforms could be based on silicon instead of carbon?
