Zro dig chain locations

[MadCow94]

I wonder if this is particular to ME or if it's a problem more people have.

The Zro dig chain seems to spawn the next dig site as far away from my empire as possible, usually at least 5 hops outside my borders and often on the other side of a (usually hostile) foreign empire or FE.

The Grunur don't seem to have this issue and are all neatly compacted into one place.

Help me Devi-Wan-Kenobis, you're my only hope.

If I remember correctly, they spawn on uncolonized habitable planets. Maybe leave some in your borders or nearby to increase the chances of the site spawning in a more accessible location. I know that applies to the initial anomaly, but not 100% on the subsequent dig sites after you start the chain. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

I will add that I have noticed this problem especially with playing the Aquatics species with the lovely ocean planet start as nearby habitables are harder to find.

They will spawn in closet uncolonize habitable planet I believe so if you don't have one left in your empire then they will jump to the nearest which might not be in your border.

So my strategy if I got Zroni is to slow down my colonization a bit and research the site as soon as possible.
