I've played 30-40 games with Random 5 and 6 player systems and have never found a desert planet that was randomly generated. I've seen random Terran and random Ferrous (TEC and Vasari homeworlds) but never Desert. Is this a bug, or do I get incredibly unlucky? Sure, new planet types are nice, but just once, I'd like to play a game as Advent and be able to colonize a DIFFERENT Desert planet.

havent seen any generated apart from forced homeworld spawn.
In the Solar Forge the random 5 and 6 player maps (single star) each include 4 random_rich_planet fillings which should make it possible to spawn a desert planet according to the galaxy_generator.uniforms file:
--------------------------------------------
"name": "random_rich_planet",
"filling":
{
"items": [
"name": "terran_planet",
"probability": 3
},
"name": "city_planet",
"probability": 1
"name": "desert_planet",
"name": "magnetic_planet",
"probability": 4
"name": "oceanic_planet",
"probability": 5
"name": "crystalline_planet",
"name": "ferrous_planet",
"name": "swamp_planet",
"name": "gas_giant_planet",
"probability": 2
}]
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------
They are fairly low probability but I would think after 30-40 games you would have seen at least one.
Hm...apparently, I've just been incredibly unlucky, then. Though assuming I'm reading that file right, a City Planet has the lowest probability of spawning, yet the last two games I've played with a friend both had a City Planet in them. Both were 5 player Random and neither had a Desert or Terran planet.
