Title. We already have the option to choose a specific crisis, why not a specific precursor as well? Would love to tailor-craft builds with a matching precursor effect.

I don't even rememeber all the precursors, so I would just choose Cybrex all the time.
It could be interesting to try specific builds, tailored aroud a precursor or for RP reasons (for example life-seeded/BAOOL)

Actually i think they need to buff the bad precursors and maybe have some tied into origins Baol for Life seeded and cybrex for shattered ring.

This would be a nice feature. With 1000+ hours in the game I've seen them all, but definitely feel like I've seen some more than others (Zroni maybe once? Whereas Baol several times). It would be nice to be able to customise it from random.
I'd like this just because it would save a lot of save-scumming for psionic (Zroni) or life-seeded (Baol) games. Most games I'm fine with anything except the Yuht/Irassians, but sometimes I really need something specific to make the empire work. The "Choose Your Precursor" mod does this, but it'd be better to just have the functionality in the setup screen.

A few Precursors are just bad for certain builds. For instance, the Yuht give you this +10% Habitability Planet Decision, but if you have the Life-Seeded Origin then you're going to terraform all planets into Gaia eventually, so it's just... meh. I'd rather have any of the 7 others, when playing as Life-Seeded.

In my games I sometimes manage to complete 2 precursors, they ARE there to be found in galaxy locations.
This request doesn't have a simple implementation. What happens if you choose Grunar/Baol for a life seeded origin but survey in another direction?
Agreed. If we can choose our precursors, this would allow the devs to get a simple metric on which Precursors are too good, and which... aren't.
