Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Prior to 4.0, my expectation was that the mining drones and crystalline entities did not begin expanding until midgame. The wiki agrees. However, in several of my games since 4.0 I have been seeing lots of mining drone expansion during the early-game. I played a game on a medium spoked map recently where in the 2270s a solid half of one spoke was occupied by mining drones. In the attached save file, you can see that the mining drones have begun producing expansion initiative fleets and moving them out by 2210. I did not find anything about this change in patchnotes.
Steps to reproduce the issue.
Start game, enter observer mode, wait on max speed and watch mining drones expand.
