Spawning Minor Factions with Galaxy Forge

May 18, 2020 9:26:37 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Has anyone discovered a way to force a specific Minor Faction to always spawn at a specific planet in a galaxy forge map?

I've tried several different forms of using the "Template:DefaultMinorFaction" and various ways of assigning ownership to planets. I've even changed the Gameplay.constants so that theoretically every planet should spawn a minor faction, but nothing seems to work.

Same here.  I have gotten a mixed bag of nuts on it.  Consider this a bump.  Good luck.

I have heard its possible to designate a planet for a minor faction to spawn on, but not possible to select which minor faction appears. I suppose I should actually try it myself first however.

I believe that is correct. 

I've been able to get random ones to spawn by creating an erroneous entity for them--not that this helps anything.

But what I and the OP don't seem to be able to do is get the DefaultMinorFaction to ALWAYS spawn on a particular planet (despite tweaking other variables).

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

I notice on of the default maps (I forget the name now) has a scenario where each player starts in a small cluster of worlds and each of them (one for each of 6-8 players) always has the designated planet spawn every time.

I've not been able to duplicate that.
