True, the total counts.
It would also be nice to make it so that several wormholes lead to one system (Or make a separate mod with integration into PaG? Hmm), like L-Gates

@Natsu_Zirok as for you feature requests:
Symmetry tools are planned :)
"And add the meter of current stars, spawn points, nebulas, wormholes." can you elaborate what you mean? You just want to see the total counts?

@Natsu_Zirok that's my bad... should be fixed now for new downloads
You can redownload your map, or if you want to fix your already downloaded map, search for all instances of the text (without the quotes):

"} random_empire_init"

and replace it with (without the quotes):

"} initializer = random_empire_init"

I am sitting now and do not understand what is wrong.
It seems that the last update has broken Spawns and Preferred Spawns.
I just don't throw me in Preferred Spawn, and bots - to other points ...
And once my capital was in the same system as the drones with the strength of the fleet 2k
For the sake of interest, I checked whether the problem is in my mods - no, not in them.

Errors in log:
"Unexpected token: =, near line: 440" in file: "map/setup_scenarios/galaxy.txt" near line: 440
"Unexpected token: random_empire_init_01, near line: 440" in file: "map/setup_scenarios/galaxy.txt" near line: 440


Well, the request is to add a mirror for generating/adding stars and hyperlinia symmetrically
And add the meter of current stars, spawn points, nebulas, wormholes.
Please

thanks for the awesome mod!

Updated with fixes for most of the known bugs!
- Guaranteed habitable worlds now spawn
- Ratling event chain now fully spawns
- Advanced AI starts now spawn
- You can no longer start right next to special / hostile systems (requires new map download from web app)
- Duplicate materialist FEs no longer spawn (and hivemind FE can now spawn)
- Marauders now spawn with all 3 systems instead of just 1
- Precursor event chains now work

@Xin I have a to-do to investigate the underlying behavior more thoroughly. Potentially, I can change that so the max AI spawns equals the number of spawn points minus 1 (reserve one for the player). More research needed, so not putting anything in the description or discussion yet

I'd kiss you rn If I could. Thank you so much. I'd appreciate adding this to the mod description or as a discussion for new people

@Xin alternative, open up the txt file in a text editor. Near the top, you'll see a line:

num_empires = { min = 0 max = 27 } #limits player customization; AI empires don't account for all spawns, so we need to set the max lower than the number of spawn points

Edit the "27" in that line to "41". For a single player game, I think there's still enough of a "buffer" there.

@Xin the max number of AI empires determined by the number of spawn points on the map, but it will always be less (2/3). This is a work around for some bugs in static galaxies (empires that aren't counted as AI empires use those spawn points too, and there will be bugs if it runs out of spawn points to use).

If you want 35 AI empires, you need at least 53 spawn points. If you're just using the randomly generated spawn points, you need about 1800 stars for that, but you can use a smaller map if you manually add spawn points.

Hey! Love this, but just a little curiosity: How many amount of Stars do I need to spawn 35+ pre-made custom empires? I've made a custom map with 900 aprox stars, with 41 spawn slots. But in-game, I can only submit 27 empires max. Any way to know how many stars do I need to increase the maximum capacity?
