How to get the voidworm plague crisis?

I have a problem where they just gone before 2300, I tried maximize their numbers but same thing happens

Possibly is to leave all nests alive depending on the counter set before the game, before the mid game hits.

On my huge map game I managed to have voidworm crisis if all 3 of the nests, each on its own black hole starting zone, are still alive.

More problematic if you got OP mods installed that give too much firepower in the early game, causing AI empires to be powerful enough to start eradicating void worm nests.

I dont use OP mods but I set the difficulty to GA could it be the problem?

wiki says there is 50% chance each game if it is possible or not, first of all
maybe you are just unlucky

As previous poster stated, it is a 50% toss up between the Khan and the void worms to be triggered as a mid game crisis.

If your game had the void worms chosen as the mid game crisis, there is a risk that it may not be trigged as you AI empires are getting a difficulty advantage bonus to everything they do, and they are using it to eradicate all the nests before mid game starts.

Both can happen in 1 playthrough. I finish a playthrough just now. The game spawn khan first then voidworm. Maybe the ai empire is strong enough and the mid crisis ai is bugged, the khan stop expand after take 1 subject and few worlds then die naturally and reform. Only a few voidworm manage to get to my system from another side of the galaxy but i still required to find the cure.
