What atmosphere/planet types did you both have?

I'll try to figure out what happened. My gut says it's a game thing and there isn't anything I will be able to do short of narrowing down the problem and sending a report to Malfador.

I think it is "inner game", too, Geo. If so, then making the knowledge available would be fine, in my opinion. I'm sure 1-planet starts would work fine and if people know a 3-planet start may come with problems, then they take that chance.

To my knowledge, no one adjusted starting points...you'd have to check with Asmala. But since we started with only one vacant system between us, I'm pretty sure it was random placement and not adjusted.

I took Gas and he took Rock (not sure how that matters much). I took Methane and he took Hydrogen. And, as I said, it was, as far as I know, Balance 1.1 (but Asmala would have to confirm). I can send you the game file with my password if you like.
