Thank you for the test and dedication. I really did not think it was still farmable.

I played two full games in 2.02 and got it in both. Before in my around 10 1.09 Games i got it twice. It is surely connected to the change with Hyperlanes only, forcing you to visit every system. In fact I would not be surprised to learn that my 1.09 games where I got the signal probably were also hyperlane games

So, I had this event on recently on my first Playthrough, but decided to not sacrifice the second leader, because I didn't know what it all was about. However, I looked it up on stellaris wiki and now I wonder if it is worth going through the event chain and turn your home system into tomb worlds?
It depends. Mainly on your roleplaying approach. If you get it relatively early, it can change your preference to a Tomb world, which in previous versions was AMAZING; Now it is not as hot (or cool), but there are some nice unique buildings. Also it is an easy way to flip your empire from pacifist to militarist; If you are a WH40k fan, you can build a ring world, transfer homeworld to the ringworld and then fire the event, evolve into to mechanics and voilà, Necrons; Otherwise just move it to a system with many plants, all get transformed into tomb worlds, so you can have a system with 6 habitable planets; I always go for it, no matter whom they want, just because it is fun;
I have been playing Stellaris since launched, about 2200h now. Haven't got it even once before 2.0, first game after that and... PANG!
I believe this was changed a while back. It can only trigger the first time entering.
I have just got it it in my second 2.x playthrough, in my current MP game. Question is: can my friend still trigger it?

Nope, Defiler99 confirmed you can farm it, he had ~120 jumps. Wiz sid they wanted to change it, probably never made the cut.
I just "farmed" this again in another play-through, and I'm pretty sure it cannot trigger in a black hole system that's inside your borders.
I queued 100 commands (50 visits) several times on a black hole system I had already claimed. Started to wonder.. then picked a different one, outside my space.
80 or so visits in, I got the Horizon Signal.
Yes, I could have just been very unlucky with the first one, but in case anyone is having trouble.. try with an unclaimed system.
(Edit: I originally wrote "wormhole" because I dumb.)

You don't need wormhole, you need black hole system. Did you misspelled or did you really used wormhole system?
I'm sorry, Freudian slip. I meant Black Hole in all of the above sentences.
Got it again on a playthrough I started last night. It has become a regular thing to look for systems with as many barren worlds as I can find to move my capital to

The storyline finally happened to me for the first time in almost 400 hours of gametime. I am playing tall, I only have two entrances into my space, and both entrances are black hole systems owned by me. So those black hole systems got a LOT of traffic by me.
I'm torn; it's game-y that we can farm it.. but it's otherwise so rare that nobody will see it.
Imagine getting it like 20x less often than currently; that's potentially how it would be. Not ideal.

@Defiler99 Claimed or unclaimed is irrelevant. The requirements are that a non-gestalt human player have a science ship with a leader enter a black hole system. The only restriction beyond that is that the system isn't a guardian system (ie, had/has a leviathan).
