Summary0011006: Seed special structures more evenly between AIs
DescriptionAt present, many important structures are always seeded on planets controlled by AI 1, including:

Advanced Research Stations
Fabricators
Broken Golems
Vengeance Generators
Dyson Sphere
SuperTerminal

As such, getting a Scorched Earth AI as the first AI can make the game significantly harder, as most of the capturables are near impossible to defend. My suggestion would be to attempt to seed these more evenly distributed between the two AIs, so that neither AI controls an overwhelming amount of them. This allows for both AI types in a game to have some sort of effect on these structures, be it practically prohibiting access to them (Scorched Earth) or defending them more strongly (various turtle-type AIs).

Or, you could play through the game and never realize that an AI was Scorched Earth until the very end...like I just did 0.o

For 6.022:

* In honor of it winning the "bug of the year" poll, we've fixed the one (several bugs, actually) where Advanced Research Stations, Super Terminals, Broken Golems (normal and botnet), Fabricators (all three categories), Dyson Spheres, Neinzul Rocketry Silos, and Dark Spire Vengeance Generators were only seeding on planets belonging to the first AI player. Depending on which type that player was (scorched earth, notably) this was capable of being very... interesting.

Thanks :)
