How to unlock the Strange Mood achievement in Stellaris - Definitive Guide

You must have both the Utopia and Humanoids DLC for this achievement.
Start a game with an empire that is not Gestalt and is not Materialistic, and choose the Masterful Crafter civic. I recommend a medium or smaller galaxy, set to zero enemies of any sort.
Expand and explore, and research Psionic Theory (found under Society research) and subsequently select the Mind Over Matter Ascension Perk. At this point you can choose the Transcendence Ascension Perk and 90 days later the Breaching the Shroud event will happen. See here for full details and options: https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/The_Shroud.
You can choose Transcendence as early as your third Ascension Perk, but since things start happening 90 days later, you need to delay. You will need to complete a Mega Structure while the Covenant is in effect, so wait until you have that tech unlocked and build all but the final stage (the Sentry Array is the quickest and cheapest Mega Structure). Then choose Transcendence and start farming visions.
Each time you enter the Shroud (via the Contacts screen, limited to once every five years) a random vision from the list detailed at the link above will occur. The vision to watch for is:
There is a presence here, occupying this entire part of the Shroud. We have met spirits before, but this is something else, something vastly more powerful... something far more ancient.
It seems unaware of us as of yet. Perhaps it is sleeping. Perhaps we are simply beneath its notice.
Perhaps we should leave.
If your leader is a Chosen One, choose the option where your leader talks to the presence. Otherwise, your best odds are with the green option, then yellow, and the least chance of success with red. What you are looking for is the ability to form a Covenant with the presence. As soon as that happens, finish your Mega Structure and the achievement will unlock.

Create a new empire with the "Masterful Crafters" civic.
During the game, research Psionic Theory and take the "Mind Over Matter" & "Transcendence" Ascension Perks to access the Shroud.
Covenants occur randomly at very low percentages. Once active, they last more than 20 years. It can take a very long time to get one, so prepare Megastructures while you wait.
Have a major Megastructure (Mega Shipyard, Sentry Array, etc.) under construction until you have one (1) more upgrade for full completion. Look on the wiki to see how many stages your megastructure has so you don't accidentally complete the structure early.
When you get the Covenant, complete the structure and the achievement should activate.

You take Masterful Crafters in civics (imba, where three promos give you a slot for a building), enter into an agreement with any god from the shroud, get a second (!) level of relationship with him - you will have a situation where they will write that your connection has strengthened and blah -blah blah and they will let you build a building, after that you build any megastructure.
