Spider Cleanse

[Focus123]

Hello,

I am new blood in this complicated game called shadow empire.
I want to suggest a map/planet in which spiders/xenos are the main threat (starship trooper vibes)

Regards

Hello new blood. True, that might be nice, but Planet Generation in SE doesn't really work that way.

This whole part of the game is actually kind of contentious, because the discrete, transparent sorts of options gamers expect to find in this familiar step, are absent. I mean you can not just turn specific things off or on. Instead, each step generates an outcome which you can either accept or re-roll.

Planets with a massive Arachnid presence are certainly possible. But it's hard to tell which Planet Gen rolls you should keep in order to maximize the Spiders in your end result.

Afaik, Arachnids are a special spawn type, separate from the indigenous biosphere. They are a hardy invasive. They seem to thrive planets with desolate wasteland zones, irradiated, mountainous, and dry. So for instance, during the planet gen steps for 'Biosphere', you could prefer rolls with less life, both flora and fauna; during 'Dissolution Wars', look for desperate and insane episodes preferably involving nuclear weapons; the 'Survival Stress' switch might help, and an Inferno-like planetary environment should also be 'good'.

But all of this you may have already figured out.
