Desert map without a single agave

[eugeneb]

Tried googling and not sure whether it's a bug of intentional. I am playing on a non-extreme desert with small hills and a river and my map does not have a single agave. Is this a bug or does it happen sometimes?

Hi,
you should head fast to a casino and bet all your money on the "0" on Roulette.
Looks like you got an affinity for extreme chances ! :-))

Basicly i don't think you got a bug, it is very unusual that that happen but it isn't impossible.
Just try an experiement, create another colony, same world seed, same position and look if that map got agave.

Does your log window show any bug ? Do you use any mods ?

Haha on my way to Las Vegas! I also tried generating the same map and starting again and I got identical map but may be it's ok since it's possible the seed affects the map itself as well, not just the world. No agaves again unless one is hiding somewhere where I am missing it. I tried to pack immediately and move base a few hexes away and that map had one agave so may be it is my luck. Not using any mods and not seeing any bugs in the log.

Not sure how the world seed influenced the map generation, i though it is more random.
But when you got 2 times the same map, the influence is much higher then i though.

But it is desert, you shouldn't await to much plant's for your survival and start planting at some rich soil spots ASAP.

Breaking news: finally after about a year on that map one agave plant decided to grow up.
