I got a Precursor colonization event for a non-Precursor planet.
Support ticket: #HDS-347-81973.
Got this on another one, every other new colony actually. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that they require Atmospheric Cleansing to colonize.
Replied with a savegame to the automatic email.
This has been going on for a while now, unfortunately: lol all worlds get precursor colonization events
I sent in a ticket on this pre-1.6 and it's still happening to me. I've seen it happen even before I get Atmospheric Clearing, so it might be a weird bug that is triggered after a number of planets is colonized. Or a certain type is colonized. Haven't found a set trigger yet, which annoys me slightly. I like my bugs to be repeatable. 
We are still looking into the root cause of this.
well my guess with this is that the game runs out of colonization events, and then gives you the precursor ones until you got them all and the game starts to use the normal ones again
This would be my uneducated guess based on 6 or 7 games of this happening, but happening differently each time. It seems to occur after 30-35 colonization's, usually around or before turn 100. The precursor events will be intermittent, and there will be several planets that get no event, and then it goes back through the list again. I do not know if the random events play into it somehow, either vanilla or mega events. I do play all of my games on Gigantic maps or larger, maybe that might even play into it.
Did they change that? I could have sworn I used to get multiple robot hunting or Worm Hunting colony events per game, but I am only be getting one per game now. Something linked to the Precursor DLC perhaps? Don't remember this chance in a change log.
It usually shows up around 30-35 planets for me as well.
Now that you mention it, I think I've been only getting one per type as well. In my latest game I've now cycled completely through the precourser list and started getting regular colonization events as well.
I suspect this is in fact what is happening. Why the game isn't doing them randomly and is doing them one-per instead, I haven't got a clue.
Checking ColonizeEventDefs.xml, I see there are 30 normal colonization events. Take out no events for having your initial homeworld and any of the starting worlds in your home system and then add the occasional precourser planet event that does happen when it is supposed to, then I can in fact see why this is happening in the low to mid 30s for us. Looks to be strong correlation at any rate.
Hey, fantastic catch Buck. That sounds like a pretty likely culprit
Yes that seems to be the problem. I've updated our case and will have someone look into fixing it. Thanks!
The behavior persists in the 1.7 beta, and the events seem to be purely for show. I think I'm getting no ideology points out of them.
I have lots of ideology buildings and it looks like the only points I've been collecting from them since around colony 30 or so are from them.
