Summary0022307: Mapgen - Nanocausts have adjacent home planets
DescriptionThis happened during a game where I had three Nanocaust, one form the start and two to free (thus making it compelling to free the last two rather than wait)

However what happened was that second and third Nanocaust factions had their home planet next to each other, on a tiny branch of the galaxy. This made one of them unable to expand. More problematic, this had the effect of both repeatedly provoking each other and sending their home fleet to the other home planet, locking them in a cycle of bashing each other repeatedly. I used this with glee to hack both Nanocaust (with some effort, crippled hacking fleets and a lot of time), then hack the third.

Anyway, Nanocaust home planet probably shouldn't spawn next to each other.

(Also, could minor faction only increase AIP by 10 rather than 20 per AI planet they blow up and take over? Leaving you with 5 AIP for taking the planet and 5 more for the science. I tried both allied faction give AIP and allied factions don't give AIP. It's either too hard or too easy. A medium ground would be nice).

I think we need the ability to explicitly say "Seed this far away from other things like it" (or if such a thing already exists, the nanocaust needs to be updated to use it)

I was thinking of a "minimum X planets away from other Nanocaust Home planets" like Lone Wolf Fleets have a minimum distance. That's really all I wanted here.
