is exotic gas refinery supposed to upgrade into alchemical forge. Because if so I am unsure where to get my gasses

@redraven yeah it's supposed to technically.
- Note that in vanilla there are no upgrades for exotic gas refineries.
- Also note that this is a holdover from when alchemists turned a ♥♥♥♥ ton of resources + arcane tech into all of the exotic materials (gas, motes, crystals)

can anyone else confirm this? (might just be my mod list lol)
my starting commercial zone isnt changed into an arcane commercial zone

@Fishbones what are your starting ethics/civics?

fanatic spiritual / athoritarian
megacorp
arcane heritage, gospel of the masses and 2 modded civics

@Fishbones
Sounds like this happened on an old mod version: I explicitly did the stuff for non-megacorps (and none of them have starting commercial zones unless I remembered wrong).
Now, It does it for all possible buildings so new game starts should work as intended (even for Megacorps)

Game start bug? Non megacorp start. 1 ruler and 5 specialists are unemployed, and arcane tech is at -9 for the planet.

@Doc Nevermind. Not a bug per se, I removed mana harvester building from game start, forgot that jobs still cost arcane tech even when on magical planets. I'll add it back in.

yep. that was it. updated and the commercial zone thing is fixed :D
ill wait for the mana harvester update then test it again.
thanks for the hard work!

@Fishbones technically mana harvester is updated already
Idk if it works or not game is still loading

Edit: OK it works. Removing and replacing buildings 1 by 1 mucks with specialist jobs apparently. I might have to see if I can do some super jank pseudo-thread locking for that one conversion event to work properly.

Edit 2: JK Just removing buildings mucks with job placement. I don't think paradox added in a grace period so that when pops are suddenly unemployed their old jobs are immediately taken, and then voila we have unemployed pops. Not a thing I can fix, i don't think.

it happens in vanilla too if you rpelace buildings.
not something you can fix.

Edit: It works for some mysterious reason again. I started up a test save to see if other worlds could have them but lo and behold, my capital has them too. Yay?

Am I supposed to not have magical rare planetary features anymore? On my old save I would always get some cool rare planetary features on my homeplanet. When I start a new save now, I don't get any rare planetary featuers. Is this intended?

seems to work for me.
also, you should get a pop up asking how common you want magical planets to be..

I do get the pop up and the planetary modifications (habitability, happiness and research) but no rare planetary features. I do start with a mana harvester and all the other things. I have tried disabling every other mod and creating a new species (with arcane heritage) but nothing worked.

@A turtle Is the issue resolved?

Might be some other mods conflicting. The original problems were brought about by Planetary Diversity's spawn engine overwriting all deposits on non-vanilla planet class homeworlds, so I delayed the deposit generation until a day after you select how many things you want through the popup.
