[v1.1.0 b938] Wrong Planet Types as tech picks

[mmmd]

I play as Race with Ocean as starting and before the patch generally the first colonization options to research would have been arctic or continental, now I usually get jungle first.

Same with my tundra race, which gets Jungle and Ocean first.

So it seems for tech purposes the game treats you as continental regardless of what you are.

        modifier = { #deny those who are too far away in ideal planet class, except if they have a Pop in the Empire that prefers that planet-type. Robots can live anywhere
            factor = 0
            AND = {
                OR = {
                    ideal_planet_class = pc_ocean
                    ideal_planet_class = pc_arctic
                }
                NOT = {
                    any_owned_pop = {
                        OR = {
                            has_trait = trait_pc_desert_preference
                            has_trait = trait_robotic_1
                            has_trait = trait_robotic_2
                            has_trait = trait_robotic_3
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

If your ideal is one step away you get higher chance at that tech. If you have 0% habitability (for any species living in your empire) on a planet type you can't get that research. If you have not surveyed a planet of that type you cannot get the research.

Beyond that it's still a somewhat random system. You're experiencing randomness. Enjoy.

Interesting. It seems like building robots has a downside in enabling all colonization tech options, which dilutes your tech pool with options you probably don't want.
