Lots of stars with no planets or resources

Maybe a coincidence

January 28, 2022 9:46:07 PM from Galactic Civilizations IV ForumsGalactic Civilizations IV Forums

Galaxy settings with occasional habitable planets:

Here is the starting sector:

So around my homeworld there were 4 stars with no planets and no resources. 2 stars with 1 dead planet and no resources. One star with an excellent planet and some asteroid fields

Is this just bad luck or is this a consequence of the fix to make planets truly "occasional" in the latest update.  Running v0.77 as indicated in the screenshot.

Can provide screenshot if it is helpful.

Yep, basically occasional means just that.

We're going to change the default so that *planets* become common instead of occasional so that you don't have so many empty stars.

I am currently playing through a game that seems to have like 90% blue stars. In every cluster I have entered so far. Lots and lots of Thulium (I have 28 deposits in my home cluster, and only 2 each Durantium and Promethium) not so much anything else.

Sometimes, the RNG just bashes you over the head.

Which version are you playing? That was supposed to be fixed a while ago. There is some RNG variation, but I haven't seen the extremes like you describe anymore, and yours looks extreme even for the bug itself.

Latest version, 1.04 or whatever, and I've actually generated 2 or 3 galaxies like this. The other ones had other issues I just couldn't get around, so I deleted them.

 

 

Figured out what probably did it. I built a mod for my own starting homeworld system and didn't use the append method. Means I was using Star/System/Planet XMLs from like 1.01 or something.

That's right, essentially infrequent method simply that.

 

We will change the default so that *planets* become normal rather than periodic so you don't have such countless void stars.
