Primitives turning FTL broken

[Zzarchov]

So I've noticed that when a primitive civilization goes FTL on their own, they build a starport with just anchorages. They don't build a shipyard and thus never expand. I play on giant Galaxies with few starting species and 5x tech costs so this became very noticeable.

Side note: Losing the primitive buildings when you invade is sad. I know they suck, but I liked having them as trophies previously.

The same can be said for revolts or other new factions popping up with just 1 star

I think the primitive buildings are supposed to convert to the equivalent districts, but the math is way off. I'd also prefer if you got to keep the existing buildings.

 

[Leylos]

I noticed the same thing.

I remember Wiz mentioning that at some point they will look into how primitives work and flesh them out a bit.
Let's hope that's still the gameplan with the new lead.

That's why in my prothean game with ultra slow research and only one ai empire all the primitives I enlighten only ever build transport ships! That's dumb. Will they redevelop starbases with shipyards you grant them with a system to have only anchorages?
