    i have a question on the Galaxy Generation
    and the way it loads playfields and POI's

    I have noticed that if you load default multiplayer or any scenario with default settings
    that the playfields are loaded differently between Static sector.yaml and the random galaxy

    eg.
    the sector.yaml loads BarrenMetal playfield , all POI's in the BarrenMetal playfield get laoded , inc the factions
    however if the random galaxy loads BarrenMetal playfield, only 2 crashed capital ships POI's load
    both playfields seem to load all other aspects of the BarrenMetal


    is there another config that turns off the POI generation when used in a random galaxy ?
    or is there another setting to turn it on ?

    It's the faction settings in the galaxy config.

    What changes did you make in that section? We are having the same issue as you described.

    in the GalaxyConfig.ecf

    the sections


    { Child Territory_1
    Faction: Zirax
    Center: "130, 0, 206" # LYCoord
    Radius: 75 # in LY
    Other_1: Talon, param1: "0, 0.01" # prob for Talon spawn at "center, radius"
    Other_2: Alien, param1: "0, 0.001"
    Other_3: Trader, param1: "0, 0.2"
    Other_4: Polaris, param1: "0, 0.02"
    Other_5: Pirates, param1: "0, 0.001"
    Other_6: Civilian, param1: "0, 0.1"
    }

    the number at the end of each line is the chance of them spawning so rather than having a 0.01 chance i raised that number to 1 where i wanted them to be a guaranteed spawn, or if i wanted to make it more common i would make it 0.7 ( 70% chance ) vs the 1% chance or less that is set by default.

    eg


    { Child Territory_None # area outside all faction territories
    Other_1: Talon, param1: "1"
    Other_2: Pirates, param1: "1"
    Other_3: Kriel, param1: "1"
    Other_4: Polaris, param1: "1"
    Other_5: Trader, param1: "1"
    Other_6: Civilian, param1: "1"
    Other_7: Alien, param1: "1"
    Other_8: Zirax, param1: "1"
    Other_9: UCH, param1: "1"
    }
