Mechanoids with 19 other races

I'd like to play with only 1 empire of each race. But I notice that I can add all 19 normal races during Custom Game creation, but there isn't enough room for the Mechanoids. With the Rise of the Shakturi and original Distant Worlds storylines turned on, will the Mechanoids and Shakturi appear as necessary?

They will appear if you activate du option in the game setup.

I setup a game with 24 random races and all the storylines activated.
The mechanoids / ancient guardians didnt spawn and therefore the shakturi didnt spawn either.
I put it down to having too many other races so there was no 'room' for the storyline races to spawn.
This is with the extended version of the ai improvement mod.

That brings up the question, if I have both the Shakturi AND the mechanoids in a game WITHOUT the shakturi story enabled do they 'blow up' the galaxy anyway?

I've played a bit of the game with other races. Don't see the Mechanoids anywhere. Will they ever show up?
