I think NormalPlanetNastyPick shouldn't block faction seeding. |
|
|
probably a rationale that if a certain faction spawned on a planet with a doomcannon they might not be able to get off the ground. Might have unintended consequences is that fix |
|

Ahhh. So here's what I guess is happening. On higher AI difficulties a very large % of planets have NormalPlanetNastyPick units (like Ion Cannon, Eye, Mass Driver), up to 80% on difficulty 10. However, we are blocking Faction Seeding on planets with such units: Mapgen_SeedSpecialEntities( Context, galaxy, FactionType.AI, "NormalPlanetNastyPick", Math.Max( 1, galaxy.Planets.Count / (100/highestDifficulty.PercentNastyPlanet) ), MapGenBlocking.BlocksAndIsBlocked, 3, 1, PlanetSeedingZone.MostAnywhere ); <=== We are using MapGenBlocking.BlocksAndIsBlocked for this I don't really see a good reason not to seed a derelict Golem or a Mercenary Beacon on a planet with an ion cannon. |

Thank you both! * Fixed it up so that "normal planet nasty picks" don't block larger faction things from seeding. These were causing map generation failures on higher difficulty levels. |

I wonder if this is what was making the game seed everything next to you? I don't think the nearby planets to your homeworld can get nasty picks...so it filled up the far away ones and then overpopulated the ones beside you? I don't recall seeing a nasty pick on any factions planet...we'll see. It's just a theory. Though it clashes with the error messages. As for the Doomcannon vs Faction deal, I don't think they particularly suffer at all. I made some changes specifically to avoid that, I hope. |

Ah! That's probably what it was, yes! I imagine that I wasn't seeing it because I didn't have the difficulty set high enough. |
