Bug: Resource Frequency (None) does not apply to Durantium or Antimatter

November 12, 2015 2:08:16 AM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I decided to take a crack at an Insane-sized galaxy. I have been playing with Resource Frequency set to None in the options and up until now I assumed that it worked, that no strategic resources would generate.

But then I explored a bit and found one black hole with an Antimatter resource, and an asteroid field with a Durantium resource. Checked just now and my last settings used to start a new game include Resource Frequency set to None.

I have found anti-matter when setting resources to none, but not durantium.

Makes sense, though - on an ordinary map, durantium mines are more common than fleas.

Potentially you maybe have had an event occur which adds resources.

Well I had a look in MapSetupDefs.xml and what I found is that None allows the same chance of Antimatter as Rare. Still doesn't explain why I found Durantium in an asteroid field, but... *shrug*

Would the chances of Durantium and Antimatter be tied to the settings for black holes and asteroids?

If so - the only way for no resources whatsoever would be to set resources, black holes and asteroids to none. I'd also set nebula to none as well - just to be sure.

We've made some changes that should address the resources spawning when there should be none.  It will be in the next patch.

I know that Durantium are tied to asteroids which can vary depending on setting. 

 

Antimatter ONLY found at black holes which also varies on settings.

 

Elerium ONLY spawns in Nebulae which again are dependent on galaxy-wide settings. 

 

When you set your resources to LOW you are lowering the percentage on each node the would normally be found. 

 

If you eliminate or set to RARE the nodes: Black Holes, Asteroids, Nebulae and also set resources to ZERO you 'should' potentially eliminate most resources. 

 

It would helpful to new players to have a tool tip to describe this but Ill see about putting the information on the Wikia.
