Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?

[PsychoTechFreak]

Good morning, sorry folks,
I am going to read your Posts when I finish work today, just one thought:

What do you think about a modded events file which is about just one event?
The best event to be observed very easily is the planet value change (by 1 per cent). If I take just this one event and change only the severities of it over 4 test runs? I need 2 inactive races for this of course, so the none-ai mod is excellent for this.

Yes
Test data looks less frequant then 90%

The list is less frequent than 90%, but that is only because this is a list of events that happened to the player. Events are still happening to other races and unclaimed sectors of space that are not recorded in that list.

Don't forget, I only have listed high/catastrophic events. But probably we get this answered.

Setup:
2 Races (no-AI mod), one race is cursed (+100), the other is lucky (-100)
events chance 100
I modified the events.txt to ONE low event (planet value change +1), bad planet start (settings modified to 0).

After 20 years I can stop already:
Cursed race: 181 events
Lucky race: Absolutely no event

So I guess, MM's fix about event chances has been successful. But I will try some other values lower than +/- 100 with Medium severities.

With High/Catastrophic I might change to 10 planet start to see if the assumption about the master planet comes true. Another reason is the no-ai races can not colonize, so there would be no comparison between homeworlds, masterplanet and colonized worlds.

EDIT:
Changed setup to 1 medium event, same as above but with lucky -50, cursed +50 and swapped player slots (to exclude this).

After 20 years:
Cursed race: 181 events
Lucky race: Absolutely no event

This is not a copy/paste error, the event count has been the same.

Now I have got a High events game running, NO events for both races after 10 years, one on one, 1planet start. I think I could switch over to 10 planet start with a very long run soon (500 years or more).

NO events after 53 years, process time seems to be more than with low/med events. Probably the program tries to bring up an event, but is not allowed to do so?

BTW, Fyron is correct with 100% chance and one event per turn:
There are no events from 2400.0 through 2401.9. If you count the turns/events from 2402.0 through 2420.0 what is it? 181 events, correct.

How did you add races, via .emp files or as a random choice ? It may make difference, however unlikely.

I am still searching for the according turns to find out what has happened with the other two races.

The races have been created this way:
I started a dummy game, just to save the empire file for the Eee. Then I started a game with Eee 1st slot, and random choice for low number of empires. I have observed the first turn after processing, to see if there is a race in the game with some kind of event modifier.

With the most recent tests, I have just created NEW races (neutral, everything 100, just lucky or cursed trait). No random choice, just what you get with the "add new race" button.

Interim test for medium events:
Cursed is set to 0 event chance modifier (racial trait)
Lucky is -10

2407.0 Cursed race has got 51 events (one each turn from 2402.0 through 2407.0.

Lucky race is still on zero events. I think about a 3rd race with another event chance modifier for the next test run.

Strong Not-intended-feature assumption with the events distribution. But I can not even tell it here, it looks like an exploitable bug.

Oleg, the other two races of my first test run (AIC) :

XiChung, MEDIUM Event, homeworld rebellion in 2413.8.

Sallegas homeworld loss has been funny:
A colonized world rebelled, the rebels have been partners (or MA), rebel partners had a fleet over Sallegas HP. Rebel partners HP died, Sallegas have lost contact to Rebel partners and the still existing fleet (without contact) over Sallegas HP has destroyed the homeworld.

Kool, scenario. I just might keep that one Medium Rebellion Event in the 4.b2 Event file, afterall

Of course High default is only 30% High chance, but may still lead to some interesting game play maneuvers.
