WHat % chance do you use for your Ancient ruins and Unique Ancient ruins

I have 3 and 8 respectivly and the chance is set to 5.

In the game I am playing ( large cluster max systems 254 ) I have explored 25 systems and still have not found one single ruin.

Attached is the file as well.

If anyone can see any problems or if this is normal let me know.

Thank you in advance

the chance is in tenths of a percent, so a value of 5 gives you 1 in 200 planets with ruins. a value of 50 give you 1 in 20.

There's also a bug that appeared in 1.41 where NO ruins would appear on maps generated before the game starts. There's a thread on it here somewhere...

I hope it's being fixed in the upcoming patch; however, a little research shows we figured this out in JULY (!!), and MM's website indicates they lost some of their e-mail in July. So the bugreport for it may be lost.

I'll re-send (unless I can find the thread where Richard posted upcoming patch information, and find something about ruins generation being fixed)...

EDIT: I found the thread where Richard posted the 1.42 Version history; no mention of the ruins bug, so I'll send MM a bugreport.

yep only occurs when you generate map now.

Never noticed it before.

Oh well.

Thanks for the info
