Well, planets have to be individually explored first before you can see any artifacts and most of the planet bonuses....are you exploring your planets?  It's a planet improvement (top row, 3rd over from the left)...

I know that sometimes planets are exempt from the whole "on chance" spawning of planet bonuses....for example, homeworlds will never have planet bonuses unless you specifically put that bonus in the template that homeworlds default to....

I don't really use galaxy forge that much so I don't know how it places planet bonuses...but, the surefire way to get planet bonuses (and artifacts) is to include them in a template (in the galaxy scenario def), and then put that template on the planet....

Make sure that you dont select "competive" version of maps.

those do not have any artifacts.

'Havent found any 'competetive' option anywere in the galaxyforge maps so my guess is that aint it.

nope, not using fair planets.

Ive even created normal std. Terran plane.. added an artifact on it and a planet bonus..

now in the game nothing is there once the planet is explored... =/

hi im using the noowner and always...

But even if so..

ive created a map consisting of 40 terran planets and 2 home worlds.

i took all the planets, explored all the planets No artifacts or planet bonuses

Though ive set the percentage to 90% for artifacts and 100 for planet bonuses

don't think its the map

It dosnt matter what map i use.

but ill give it a go.

Hmm, it is odd your entire map uses commas instead of decimal points for the delimiter. I know that is the norm in some countries but I'm not sure Sins will accept that. Did Galaxy Forge generate all that or did you go in and change it yourself?

It's generated by galaxy forge unchanged.

Hello all,

My friends and I get the same issue. I've been reading all you said and... it might be indeed the coma as decimal separator in the Operating System that generates the issue.

While changing it from the coma to the point, as you suggested, the numbers in "Planet Artifact Density" and "Planet Bonuses Density" fall to 0 in the Galaxy Forge.

As I loooove issues like that (I work in IT Technical Support for big commercial companies), I tried to get back to the coma after changing it through the Galaxy Forge, and the same numbers are reduced to 0 again.

Then I duplicated ("Save as" with another name) my latest map and saved it under the "." parameter in my OS with newly set Densities...:

- the map "with European parameters" (I'm using the French default parameters) :

"0" for both densities while the OS is using "."

"60" and "89" densities while the OS is using "," (but it does not work ingame)

- the map "with US-like parameters" :

"60" and "89" densities while the OS is using "."

"0" for both densities while the OS is using ","

So it sounds like this is the origins of that local issue... Thanks for your analysis!

However, by now, do you think we should use only the "." parameter for the game too, or only for the Galaxy Forge?

Thanks again for all
