Enough with the weapons factories!!!!

Not that I mind getting free manufactories..... BUT.... has anyone else noticed that the only "free" factories you ever get by random events are Weapons Manufactories?? Is it just me?? In my current GC as Portugal, I've received 5 (FIVE) of 'em - in Tago, Oporto, Cape Verde, Zambezia, and one other I can't recall right now. What gives? Why can't I ever get a Refinery, or Fine Arts Academy? It's especially irritating when I get them in provinces with Wine, or Sugar, or my Capitol, because I can't tear them down to put up a more regionally appropriate structure. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Do you like it or not? I'm kind of mixed - they certainly do help out with army maintenance and Land Tech, but I want some more VARIETY.... :confused:

I have gotten that event ( 'Unexpected Invention' ) since 1.03 patch. In a completely new game. So it is in 1.03

I sort of like the occassional free manufactuary event, just not so often and not always weapon ones. In EU1 it was a rare treat, suddenly a nice fine arts academy or something, especially playing minors. but I did say it was rare, and the threat of it burning down I think was also good.

A) it happens alot less often, and B) their is no more burn them down unexpected event for sure, cause i tried to activate that event after getting a weapons manfactury in the capitol, 9 months before i was going to build a fine arts academy, heh.
