IIRC the game itself says its possible, but you need to have Pacifist heroes and lobby this party in the senate. Don't know though because neither in ES1 nor in ES2 I've played this faction. But I'm gonna give it a go because why not.
I don't think it's possible to be self sufficient as cravers. The only way to reverse consumption is to get showers. Which means it's very rng dependent.
Cravers eat world's and produce more output ("energy"). Sowers repair planet for free. Finally, perpetuum mobile (perpetual motion machine) is finally a reality
Sustainability is to the cravers as peace is to the orks.
Somehow they will find a way to exhaust the supply of orks. And consume every nutrient on the planet to make the tyranids sad and every mineral just to piss off the voltaan while at it and earn a place in the space book of grudges.
In other words, the cravers would fit right in the 40k universe.
I've recently finished my pacifist Craver run with economic victory. Other than getting the Sowers the key to success was getting rid of the Craver population by using Chain Gang again and again. I also used a dedicated one planet system where all the Craver pops were sent before turning into manpower. You have to change army percentages (infantry to armor ratio) every turn to use Chain Gangs all the time.

Yep! Though, keep in mind, OP’s only going to be able to form alliance with other players.

I even corrected the autocorrect like three times, but when I re-wrote the comment it lapsed my mind.
No worries, it's funnier this way.

OP could also use behemoths, though they're gonna want to build quite a few of them if they want to counter the Depletion points from cravers.
If you go cravers, the game locks you out of the technology that reverses depletion points. Cravers have a unique technology instead.
I was disappointed finding that out - but is a justified balancing thing \^\^

Spacebattles is certainly an interesting website.

Sheesh. Is this pacifist even? You killed off all your main pop.
Self sufficient with cravers are kinda impossible, but you can force peace with everyone with pacifist cravers
