Sucky planets galore - bad luck or bad gameplay?

Exactly, IF you specialise your planets like crazy. I don't. I go for self-sufficient planets. That is to say, every planet should have its own production of goods and food and energy, and ideally also generate enough rare Resources to cover the upgrades of the planet. Now, in this style a planet is only worthwhile if it can produce at least one fully upgraded forges Worth of Alloys. If it cannot, then the planet is useless, as it serves no purpuse. It then adds absolutely nothing of Worth.

Yes it would be nice if this was viable, everythign tells me they do not want this because it is very hard to achieve a planet that has net positives in every resoruce. The current design is to have a random inbalance in everything, and good luck dealing with the million fluctuations :/

A Little update, after a tip I started playing alpine-born race, and it did actually improve minerals a bit. Still finding huge planets with silly low amount of districts, but it is more rare now, so I guess it as been fixed at least to some degree, thankfully. The truly crappy Worlds seem to have become a bit more rare.

However, the Gaia-bug/"feature" seems to still be around? Tried a seeded race, and pretty much any attempt to create Gaia planets made the Worlds utterly useless. Any news on that? :-(

Should be fixed on the "stellaris_test" channel, a.k.a. v2.2.5 beta. Broken everywhere else.

OK. So for us non-betoids we'll have to wait until it hits the updates. But good to hear that it is fixed at least.
