Summary0020100: Poor Mapgen Special Entity Placemetn
DescriptionHey Chris,
    Your algorithm for placing Special Entites (dyson spheres, etc) on the map has some issues. I started a 5 dyson sphere game and 2 of them are on the same planet. I think your algorithm needs to adjust the potentialPlanets based on where other Special Entities are seeded. Check out what I did in Mapgen.cs::DetermineAIHomeworlds, where I recalculated the list of available planets as more ai homeworlds were placed.

Here's a save game illustrating the point. This was literally the first map I tried though, so you can probably reproduce it for yourself easily enough
TagsNo tags attached.

I'm having trouble uploading save games for no obvious reason. My game was seed 915871484 with map type Clusters --> medium

Oops, thanks!

* Fixed a bug in the most recent version of the game where the map gen special seeding logic was even _worse_ than before, because we forgot one line of code.
