The first DLC for the space grand strategy title lets players put down roots, introducing the plant phenotype to the mix of playable species.
The Plantoid Species Pack is a purely cosmetic addition that adds several new portraits, new art for civilian and military ships and cities. You take a look at the new portraits here. They look pretty great and it’s a definitely different vibe than the other phenotypes already available in the base game.
I’ve already sunk in close to 100 hours in Stellaris and would have preferred something a little more, err, meaty – something that affected gameplay – for a first expansion. Having your greens is good for you but, even so, I’m not the type that usually gets cosmetic packs until they’re on sale. That said, the patching and refinement of the game is ongoing and hopefully we’ll be getting more free improvements soon. Paradox have a long term road map for the game, including at least two upcoming major patches with features based on community feedback, so it sounds like Stellaris players will have plenty of fresh incentive to keep coming back to the game.
Edit to the original article: There's also a small patch that's been released alongside the DLC. Additionally the lead developer has teased a new victory mode for the upcoming big patch.
You can grab the Plantoid Species pack through Paradox’s Store or directly through Steam. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: GuestTo put things another way (and to clarify about "expansions" vs. typical "DLCs", even though "expansions" can of course be "DLCs" themselves):Funny, but even I'm not that cynical. For one thing, this exaggerates the quality of expansions in the past. Back then "glorified patch" was a rather common, and valid, criticism.

I dont care what you want to call it. A DLC is an expansion of the games content, Downloadable Content to expand a game. Certain DLC is not an expansion like wallpapers, soundtracks and so on, but no matter what you say, the rest by their very nature are expansions. Small maybe, but doesn't change what they are.

Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.
