Nebulae?

May 10, 2017 4:02:10 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

I was positively impressed when I saw the amount and size of nebulae in the twitch streams. But since Crusade I started three games (two insane, one ludicrous) with nebulae set to abundant, but there is hardly any nebula present and when I find one it's tiny

Is there a problem with the nebula generation algorithm on bigger maps?

I've tried all the larger map sizes except for insane and ludicrous, and not had any problems.  There have been some cases reported, though, where "abundant" actually produces less of whatever setting it is than the one one step down.  Have you tried that?

Not yet. Have to do that then.

Nebulae don't seem to form around stars and planets. So you need gaps between those for them to form. I was playing on a spiral galaxy and started in the centre and was seeing none until I started travelling through the empty space between arms (also where all the black holes went).

I am in the outermost arm of a spiral galaxy, but in the gaps I traveled so far there are still next to no nebulae ... makes it very hard to find Elerium
