Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The Psi-Fish Hunting Grounds trait can appear in empire mode alongside the Scorched World trait, meaning that no water tiles will spawn. The Psi-Fish failed to spawn in this map entirely, meaning that the Empire Objective of Capable Pets became uncompletable. The game did begin with a broken notification that I was at war with an unidentified faction, but the Psi-Fish did not appear. To the game's credit, it did manage to spawn in other NPC factions in the absence of the Psi-Fish, so the map wasn't barren of locals.

Have you tried verifying your files?
No

Steps to reproduce the issue
Reroll the Empire planets until you get both traits on the same world.
Start the game.
Observe the odd war declaration at game start.
Use the console command to remove the FoW and check to see that no Psi-Fish have spawned on the map.

To follow up, I've tried another Psi-Fish Hunting Grounds world without the Scorching World property and it also failed to spawn in the Psi-Fish. The world was quite lacking it water, too, so maybe it failed to spawn them without sufficient water? This may not be a Scorching World problem so much as the Psi-Fish Hunting Grounds trait needing to require the world to have a higher proportion of water tiles.

After finally getting another world and manually setting the terrain type to Continental, the Psi-Fish spawned and everything worked properly, so maybe the Psi-Fish Hunting Grounds should force terrain types that can enable them to spawn properly.

Hey Linarion, thanks for the report. I've passed it on the the Empire team for the required adjustments.

Five months and three updates later and this is still broken:

Planetfall: the death of trust - Quarter to Three

After forty turns of searching for the Psi-Fish I’m supposed to defeat, and whose dwellings are supposed to be abundant, and with whom I’m supposed to be at war, I have found no Psi-Fish. I have explored enough of the map to discover three NPC factions and their dwellings. A map this size...

Still broken.
second broken thing in empire mode, on my second planet...
First was scrambled frequencies or sth that was supposed to make covert ops untraceable. It didn't.
Now this, objective to conquer dwellings, and none to take.

Attached is save-file.
