Met one in today's playthrough, right after what I assume to be precursors, but these surprisingly weren't immediately hostile.  They had stargates on their JP's, too!

Crank NPR Gen to 100 and you'll find one easy - well, as easily as you can find habitable worlds.

Some people set the NPR change to 80-100% and drop it once they meet couple of them

That is probably the best way to do it.

It really is random.  Most games, nothing but the pre spawned NPRs.  Then I had a game 50 years in with 5 with 2 starting NPRs.

Yeah, that's where i start mass wiping systems and manually spawning NPRs.

I had a scenario in VB6 where I had 90% chance and after 100 systems still had only found precursors. It was inane.

Even though I cranked up the chance to discover one, after 20 new systems nothing happened yet.


"after 20"

This is exactly what one should expect.  Habitable planets are rare.

As of 1.7.3, I have. Yeah.

Note that the NPR generation chance only applies for suitable planets. That is, planets that fit the criteria in the tooltip. It's not a flat chance to generate NPRs. It's more of the chance that a suitable planet will have one if you find it.

Makes sense to me. Would be weird if some species settle down on a gas giant.

I usually set it very high, like 70% or so.   Has worked fine thus far.

Im going with 60% recently and “sadly” I didnt meet anyone yet.

Did anyone discovered a random NPR while exploring, while having set zero NPRs to start with?

Even though I cranked up the chance to discover one, after 20 new systems nothing happened yet.
