Missing Precursor Libraries?

Where did they go?

from GalCiv2 Forums
In all of my games I have never seen a planet square with the Precursor Library bonus on it (700% research). I've seen Precursor mines several times but not one of these.

Where did they go?

Hi!
In DL there are NO Precursor Libraries. They re-introduced them in DA.

Izok,
I haven't played DL in some time, but I thought I was playing the latest patch until the production release of DA came out. I certainly DID encounter Precursor Libraries.

Since I have learned to trust your ken of this game, I experimented with my current Gold Edition DL. In about 25 starts with a Tiny galaxy - no Precursor Library on the homeworld. With a Gigantic galaxy, hit a PL about third Cntrl-N. Its hardly definitive, but they DO occur, however the likihood of occurance may be tied to the galaxy size.

There are definitely Precursor Libraries in DL. I get them all the time.

Their frequency is tied to the version number of the game more than anything alse.
Version 1.0 and 1.1 didn't have them at all. I think it was fixed in version 1.2, and they were most plentiful in that version. In later versions they have gotten increasingly more rare.

Until recently, I thought they were an elaborate conspiracy designed to make me think I was missing something..... but then I finally found one the other day! They seem a *lot* rarer than the precursor mines.

Does make me wonder though, so many AAR's I read seem to have one on their homeworld!!

Then again, I never use CTRL+N unless on a gigantic map, I am wedged in a corner with a couple of systems, so maybe resetting the map a few times pays off?

Obviously I also don't know everything of this game.
But I keep trying...

Hmmm... maybe I haven't played enough 1.4x games...

The biggest galaxy I've played on it yet is a large.

Thanks for the info.
