Quikngruvn, trying to prepare....
that is indeed the way to go. the file seems to be read top-bottom, so if you want there to be any chance of things like unique ruins at a lower probablity, they need to go to the top of the list. then, you can have a couple ancient ruins at the bottom of the list each at 50% or so. ability value 1 for a ruin determines how many techs you will get for that ruin, so if you added 100% odds on the first one on the list and left the value at 1, thats why you are only getting that many techs. I will have them set between 3 and 7.
unique ruins will stay at 1/2% chance for each type, but they will move to the top of the list so there is actually a chance of them showing up. the value on them represents the specific tech you will get, not how many techs.
hope this helps.
