Tried having the settings for event frequency set to 999, but it won't load the settings.txt file. So I tried 990, same. Tried 900, same. Tried 99 and it loaded but no events happened. How does the events settings work now? Is it still based on 1000 = 100%?

We have done extended event simulations long time ago. Keep in mind, the first 20 turns are always eventless, unless this has not been patched out, but I do not think so.

Try this: Mod your event.txt in a way that it ends up with one event of every severity, because severity has an influence on the event frequency. Mod the remaining events to let them just display the severity txt, like "catastrophic".
Set up a single player game. Under Empire Options: turn off "show log at start of turn", and turn off "display confirmation dialog when ending turn"

Press F12 or keep it pressed until the events appear in the logscreen, make a notch for every severity.
The number of events is somehow fixed with the frequency entry, the events are evenly distributed to every player, unless they do not have lucky trait or similar like fate shrines. This means in the single player simulation you get all of the events of course.

I wonder if something about this has changed within the Last year, so you know where to publish the results.
