I just bought the game on Epic but I’ve tried this with three maps so far and got the same result. 

I set the game to have only one sector as I wanted to keep it simple at first.

I like to play the Gal Civ games with very low amount of stars, a low amount of planets , a low amount of habitable planets, and a very low amount of fantastic planets. This is because I don’t want to manage as many planets and I want the few habitable planets on the map to be very valuable to control. I understand Gal Civ 4 has new systems in place to make having lots of planets easier to manage but I wanted to test my usual Gal Civ 3 settings initially.

Three times I have set habitable planets to rare, and fantastic planets to rare, and yet when I start exploring the map I’m finding habitable planets all over the place - and many of them are super high quality fantastic worlds with a value over 25.

I think something is wrong with these Rare settings as they worked perfectly in Gal Civ 3.

I would be grateful if this could be looked into by the devs.

Thank you very much.

Oh, and apart from this issue the game looks outstanding. Like seriously this is a great product to launch with and some great new features and refinements.
