Summary0026547: VG locus spawning at same planet as VG, also flickering tooltips and construction beams
DescriptionThe planet Kido, which has a chromatic sphere and a VG that spawned via locus before, has gained another locus.

The save had some kind of strange flickering of the tooltips of units when hovering over them while the game wasn't paused. Construction beams also flickered, but this wasn't merely graphical as evidenced by metal usage fluctuating with brief moments when it would go up when building something draining. I am unsure if this needs another ticket since it is all in the same save.

Do you have a save from before this Locus was spawned? The code that tries to not spawn a Locus on a planet with another VG has been unchanged for a very long time with apparent success up till now.

A planet with 2 conquest VGs and a locus warping in. The dark spire really like this place. Here is the save and the autosave before it.

In case it matters, this game has dark spire enabled at intensity 7 as well as the spire war at intensity 8 (it seems to have set the DS to intensity 8 ingame).

I've added some additional defensive code that hopefully should resolve the problem. If it reoccurs then please let me know

Still seems to be a problem, started a campaign in 4.000 version and there already is at least one planet with 3 Conquest Vengeance Generators on it

Issue was rediscovered.

Upon looking into it again, it was an issue where Loci's potential target planets list, possibleLocusLocations, were only being cleared when a save was loaded.

The code for spawning Locus was split off into its own method, and this list is now cleared at the start of this method.
