Is there a Faction spawn bug?

[SfC1289]

I mentioned in another thread that I ran into a bug where, after the early-game "Asteroid Incoming" event was resolved, factions were not spawning and/or factions that had already spawned were disappearing permanently.

I'm running into a similar situation in other games where, apart from any apparent trigger, factions haven't spawned by 2220. I'm not sure if this is a bug, though, because I know that there's some reasonable randomness to when factions spawn. However, I do believe it to be a bug somewhere in the system because even using the "factions.spawnall" console command generates the notifications that factions now exist, but checking the Factions screen does not show any factions to exist.

I'm having the same issue. Running a lot of mods though, so not sure if one of them is causing it. Are you running mods?

I had the exact same bug and reported it iirc. And about faction not spawning untill 2020, did you encounter any alien? You need to encounter at least one for factions to spawn.

There seems to be a lot fewer factions spawning in general for me.

Also, the game likes to crash sometimes time when a new one shows up. Have to relaunch and keep the game-speed slow just to make it past the event.
