Bug in 1.41

If you want more ruins, I've posted a small mod to give you more. Maybe to many, but this is easily changed.

Uhh, the limits on mines have me totally confused.

What is the limit? Is it like 100 per sector, or 100 per system, or what?

The default is 100 mines per sector.

Stone Mill & Taqwus,
About your problems with no unique planets present, were you by chance playing with warp points not connected?
I decided to try a game like that, after learning the benefits, and was using my unique tech mod. There is about a 20% chance of any planet being unique. After 50 turns no player, out of 15, had found a unique planet anywhere. This sound like a bug to me.

Did some further testing and it appears to be related to generating a map. I started 10 games as an ancient race. 5 games I generated a map before clicking begin game and 5 games I did not generate a map. Every game I generated the map there were zero special planets. Every game I did not generate the map for I had special planets. Can anyone else confirm this? I am using a heavily modded Version.

Playing with 1.41 this week, I noticed the following concerning the unique techs. If you click the generate map button on the Quadrant set-up screen, you will not get unique techs. If you wait and have the map generated when you click the Begin Game button, the unique techs are correctly placed.

Thanks MRH, guess it's not my game only. Did you notice this in any earlier Versions? I've always let the map generate after I click begin.

Ahhh. All warp points in my game ARE connected, but I believe that I did click 'generate map' before starting the game.
