I had the exact same bug and made a thread about it too. This issue needs to be fixed as it makes having crisis on unplayable.

I've just had it as well, unmodded game..

Hi @Ferrous Will thanks for the report, as mentioned in other reports of this issue we have it in our database. Please don't open threads just to link to other threats, it makes it harder to categorize for us.

 

[Larsasger]

well @Gruntsatwork given that its a pretty gamebreaking bug, and it was fixed in 1.5 (at least when i opt in to the old version they stop purging) and then reintroduced in 1.6, people are gonna report all over the place, maybe a known issues sticky would help??

 

[Gruntsatwork]

@Larsasger Oh the post for the bug itself is fine, its just only having the link in it that's bothersome for our system.

I posted another thread because the opinion penalty wasn't mentioned, and I am not entirely sure if the 2 are related.

The purging should simply stop when you take over a planet. I it's a disease kind of thing, there should be a different effect for that, and no penalization!

@Ferrous Will
I messed about a bit with the script files and came up with something that at least seems to end the purge on reconquering(I have only tested it on one planet mind you, and it might break something else):

If you want to give it a try, remember to make a backup of each of the two files that you need to edit
In the file "crisis_events_1"(in stellaris/events folder) add the following lines(within the "-----" to the end of it and save:
-----
# Planet retaken from Prethoryns
country_event = {
id = crisis.234
hide_window = yes

is_triggered_only = yes

trigger = {
NOT = {is_country_type = "swarm"}
}

immediate = {
FROMFROM = {
set_controller = root
purge = no
}
}
}
-----
And in the file "00_on_actions" (in stellaris/common/on_actions folder) locate the parat about "on_planet_attackers_win"
and add this line in the events list and save:
-----
crisis.234
-----
The section should end up looking like this:
-----
# Triggers country_event for the attacker upon victory
# This = country, leader attacker
# From = country, planet owner
# FromFrom = planet
on_planet_attackers_win = {
events = {
techrisk.4
colony.114
crisis.201
action.8
action.14
colony.158
crisis.2400
action.51
factions.12
crisis.234 #line we just added
}
}
-----

Good luck

Meeh, formatting messed up... ah well..

 

[Larsasger]

Tested a bit more and mostly works, im concerned that the call to event 234 might not be just for the crisis planets but anytime you take a planet, and if i killed off all prethoryns before capturing a planet it would not revert the purge...
anyway, you could just use the added lines to get past the crisis and then prolly remove them again.

 

[Ferrous Will]

Somebody give this dude/dudette a job!

@Ferrous Will just remember to use the added code only while your doing the crisis event, im not sure if it messes with normal planet capture, maybe there ought to be a check in the crisis part of the script for whether the planet is held by the swarm to avoid that, somebody better at coding than me could prolly do that real fast, I actually just inverted the script for when the Prethoryns capture a planet, and then gave it a new event id.
