RNG chance selection for Spoiler Races
« on: November 28, 2020, 02:51:41 PM »
Would be nice to have a slider to select the chances for a spoiler race to generate the same way we can do with NPRs.

Almost a year, several long campaigns (lots of small games but these do not count though) and still havent met the new swarm (although I remember meeting them only few times in VB6 as well) or rhakash (not sure spelled right)

Weird. Odds of generating the swarm are pretty high when they are turned on. Are you sure you had them turned on?

Rakhas are broken right now. They couldn't really generate in earlier versions because of a habitability issue, and there is a bug now where they disappear after save and load.

Well I do find always only precursors so I am sure spoiler races are on.

Does Steve know about the Rakash though? I remember the problems in generation and the change he made due that, I had no idea they were entirely broken now.

Swarm, Rakhas, and Precursors are all separate checkboxes on the settings screen.

The broken thing has been reported. He fixed the environmental issues, so it's on his radar.

60 systems so far only 1 Precursor.

I noticed that find precursors within 2 to 4 jumps to Sol it's quite common in all my games. I play with real stars.

I am starting to wonder if Random Galaxy would be any different.

Believe it or not, I never played with Random Galaxy also because it was bugged at release.

60 systems isn't THAT many, and if you haven't gotten many near habitable worlds yet (or had few ruins get generated) there won't be many Precursors, since they spawn only above near habitable worlds with ruins.

Dunno what's up with the others.
