Summary0026554: Pre-game Setup Factions Typos and Text Issues (First of Many Sections of Typo/Text Issue Reports)
Description-Pre-game Setup:
--Factions:
---Additional Human Player Slot - Missing space between PlayerType
---AI Risk Analyzers - (Not really typo) Missing "each" in the second sentence to specify that each one increases AIP by 1, rather than collectively.
---Astro Trains - Final sentence (before impact) should say "these attacks" rather than "those attacks" for consistency. Impact "You can however" --> "You can; however,"
---Dark Zenith Svikari - Final sentence (before impact) missing comma after "however."
---Elderlings - Impact first sentence missing comma between "regularly, then."
---Fallen Spire - Missing capital in first sentence of "Note:" (Also under "Note:") the words "player type" should be "Player Type" if we are being consistent with other areas in the game.
---Human Resistance Fighters - Impact line is indented.
---Macrophage Infestation - Punctuation changes "They prey on the AI for metal, and will try to eat your ships too." --> "They prey on the AI for metal, and will try to eat your ships, too." "This faction plays differently, being capable of expanding but not in a traditional manner." --> "This faction plays differently; being capable of expanding, but not in a traditional manner."
---Marauders - Add comma between "planet" and "then" in "If they capture a planet, then they will fortify it and use its resources to strengthen future attacks."
---Neinzul Migrant Fleets - Impact final sentence: "aggrevate" --> "aggravate" "On higher intensities, you may find yourself overwhelmed due the sheer number, so be warned." --> "On higher intensities, you may find yourself overwhelmed due to their sheer number, so be warned."
---Neinzul Wild Hives - First sentence second clause should have a comma before "and," and remove the unnecessary "have." Optionally, you can swap this clause with the first, to be "A number of Neinzul have begun to spread, and started corrupting the resources of this galaxy." "Largly" --> "Largely" Impact section: "stealing" should be included within the parenthesis "(and in some cases stealing)" Consider swapping "combat" with "conflict" in "When two of these factions are in combat for control over a planet,..."
---Nomad Planets - Impact: "Nomad planets will create and remove wormholes to them as they move around the map,..." --> "Nomad planets will create and remove wormhole connections to them(maybe consider using the term themselves, even) as they move around the map,..."
---Scourge - Not typos, but the whole description feels off as it keeps mentioning "if hostile to you," and doesn't mention anything about when allied to you.
---Spire Dyson Sphere - "(gray or chromatic)" --> "(Gray or Chromatic)" "chanes" should be "changes" in the final sentence before Impact. "home sphere" --> "Home Sphere" or "home Sphere" for consistency.
---Splintering Spire - "...in an attempt to dismantle Dark Spire VG for parts, while the Dark Spire VG will be far more likely to expand." --> "...in an attempt to dismantle Dark Spire VGs for parts, while the Dark Spire will be fare more likely to expand." "...that Sphere factions will than fight over for extra income for their respective facations." --> "which Sphere factions will then fight over for extra income for their respective factions." "...and these factions will use the Intensity set on this faction." --> "...and these factions will use the Intensity set for this faction." "respectively" in the final sentence before Impact is unnecessary. Impact: "during your own" should be "than your own." Alternatively, you can change the sentence to change "You will" to not imply ownership.
---Zenith Architrave - "Periodically they will attempt to expand further." --> "Periodically, they will attempt to expand further." or "They will periodically attempt to expand further." High Impact: all mentions of "Civil War" should be equal, either all capital, or all lowercase. Missing comma between "civil war enabled" and "then." (same sentence) "when" should probably be "whenever" in this case, and "Civil War Enabled" should probably be hyphenated. "Note this means that" --> "Note that this means."
---Zenith Dyson Sphere - No typos, but it might be worth mentioning Antagonizers somewhere.
---Zenith Miners - Impact: "If not kept under control" should have a comma after control, and the comma after galaxy should be a semicolon.
---Zenith Trader - Impact: "Can be helpful, hinderance, or both,..." --> "Can be helpful, a hindrance, or both,..." or "Can be helpful, hindering, or both,..."

I'm not listing any Oxford commas, nor am I wanting to add extras where they aren't already. Regional spelling differences like "engrained" and "ingrained" are also not getting listed here. The reasoning for both is that they are accepted as "correct" and "incorrect" on a per-person basis.
Although, the spellcheck that Mantis uses *is* saying that "engrained" is wrong, despite it being the American way to spell it.

I'm American and I've always been taught ingrained. I said what I said.

I, too, have always been taught "ingrained." I did; however, look up on the internet and found multiple credible sites explaining that "engrained" is also valid, although it has been getting slowly removed over time.

Well, I might as well mention that said "engrained" is mentioned in the Neinzul Wild Hives description, under the Impact section. If enough people agree it should be "ingrained" then plop that on up there, too.

The intesity description should fill any doubts that can arise from the faction description. Is it worth changing the latter?

I played only once with Zenith Dyson Spheres, so if someone can provide this piece of text, I'd be thankful

* Fixed all typos in factions' descriptions.
** Thanks to Mac for providing a list.

I'll resolve the ticket when we find "fix" for the ones I noted above
