Am I the only one who's not seeing the abundant space minerals everyone's talking about?

I don't see any difference in the 2.2.4 build in terms of space mineral desposits. In fact, if there's a difference it's that every single habitable planets seem to have fewer resource deposits than before unless hardcoded (e.g. capital planets). It may be just bad rng, but of the 5,6 games I've played since the new beta I've yet to come across a planet that's legit good.

I'm also noticing the reduced district limit. I like it. Before you usually had more possible districts than were workable because of the planet size.

Are you not seeing there's a boatload of 7 mineral deposits? I had to mod and reduce their yield to 3 to bring some degree of normalcy to the game's economy.

I haven't seen any 7 mineral deposit in my games. 5 is the largets mineral deposit I can see a single celestial body has currently in my game.

I have noticed the difference in mineral deposits (in 2.2.4). I am swimming in minerals from space so do not need to build as many mining districts. Is this a deliberate balance shift to make systems more valuable in their own right?

Re planets, I have come across some good planets but anything with a planet resource modifier seems to have almost all their deposits removed, which I assume is a bug, as it makes the planet modifier pointless, with hardly any deposits to benefit from it.

This thread talks about the problem you're mentioning, and it seems someone made a mod to fix it too. You might want to check it out.
