Precursor events

[Lykus Cerebros]

It was more about a case study. Zroni are exceptionally rare and irassians are the exact opposite. Now you said you play with the same settings like me and maybe this is the problem. If you're right and it's directly matched to the amount of planets in your immediate area around your homeworld it would be a explanation for that. (And the only way so see the settings as far i know is to look at the screen before you start a new match. The last settings are luckily saved).

OK

So I gave my experience earlier. I didn't encounter any problems.
Settings: Normal number of AIs, no advanced starts, number of planets 0.75, usually admiral difficulty and no mods

I don't think the zroni spawn addtional habitable planets so I assume their sites will only spawn on the planets determined by the settings. Having an extremely low setting like pttaylor could result in the problems he described. This is all based on my limited understanding of how the event chain works. Someone suggested in another thread a while back to increase habitable planet setting to another one and I think that fixed the problem for that player.

Hi all,

Been away from Stellaris for a few updates. On return i'm doing an Ironman playthru.

Last time i played i got precursor events through anomolies. Is this still how they are acquired? I've gained the cybrex as a precursor but havent found any precursor events since and have played over an hour or two in game at speed 3+.

Any help appreciated.

when you run out of space to find anomalies, the game will start throwing you gimmes. a neighbour will send you signs of the precursor. you may trigger a new digsite somewhere accidentally or something too.

IIRC you can also pay the curators to get an insight for precursor if you miss some digsites/anomaly

Oh sorry I think I was unclear here.

I don't get them very often. Zroni are probably 3-4 times in all my games and Boal have been maybe 6-8 in about 1000sth hours.

I have two recent games one MP and one ironman where I got Baol and Zroni respectively but not sure how I can show you the settings. Do you know how to do that once the game is running?

The only reason to want the Zroni precursor chain is because you want to take Psi Ascension.

It's one of the harder precursors to get.
Another way to ID it as a possibility for that's what you've got is 'your 30-50 years in and no other event chain has started yet'
Most anomaly based chains are triggered fairly quickly

The bit you're missing is that the dig sites only spawn on *unoccupied* inhabitable worlds. If you roll that precursor you basically need to choose not to settle the inhabitable worlds in your space until after a dig site spawns on them, or after you've finished the chain entirely - if you procrastinate doing the digs long enough, you can break the chain entirely by virtue of there being no uninhabited planets left in the galaxy.

I've left worlds uncolonized and the damn game has decided on a few times, "nope, going to spawn the next digsite a jumps outside your territory, even though you have 3-4 pristine habitable worlds with no colonization because screw you!"
