Description
Bugs after free update


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
1007783

Do you have Space Race installed?
Yes

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have all DLC except for: Below & Beyond; Stellaris dome set; In-dome building set.

Since the free update I have started two New games both playing Japan, Doctor, Dredgers, No game rules, random location. I stopped both after two sols since the bugs were extreme and took away the challenge.

First game I still had mods (UI mods only) activated so no idea how that interfered:
-Upon my rocket landing my first research immediately completed, no source of science was used since all scanning and milestones were sucked into another tech.
-My first and only landscaping (ramp of ~ +500 waste rock) completed after extracting 6.3 waste rock.

I deleted the save and restarted without any mods. Coords: 22S 146E.
-Every anomaly I scan gives me another one for free. I've gotten an event granting 2000 science twice already. Once from a breakthrough anomaly (along with cloning vats) and once with a science anomaly (along with 1250 additional science). Then the 'found natives choose money/applicants' along with unlocking more techs.
-Landscaping immediately finished again
-Polymer meteorites containing like 40 polymers (intentional?)

Must this be of value:
Cargo changes: One less commander, one transport, one less probe, two wasp drones.
Rocket name: Borealis-A1
Colony name: Mission Aurora
Changed building colour to white
Landed H1

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes. Upon starting another game at the exact coordinates and settings and landing again in H1, the key anomaly gave me two anomaly events again (attachment). Different event this time.
The breakthrough wasn't at the same place (H0) anymore, don't know if that's a bug or not. The same breakthrough is now revealed with an event (cloning vats with the officers).
Can't replicate the terraform bug or find any other polymer meteorites.

For my side I seem to have similar issues -- I'm on International Mars Mission, with all four max disaster rules, at 41N 111W, and the first thing I've noticed was that there were no permafrost (where there would have been based on earlier playthroughs). There are very scarce disasters (all I've got was a Meteor storm around Sol 12-13, with nothing between Sols 1-11 / 14-30 thus far). Mystery hasn't triggered yet so not sure.

Similarly, each Research, Techs & Breakthrough anomaly scanned was accompanied by another Event anomaly.

Terraforming by drones was also frighteningly fast, at least some 10x speed compared to previous runs, as if the drones entirely skipped the flattening phase.
 
Update since the new patch.

1 second into the game:
Instant researched a tech. I know Japan gets science from scanning but I'm guessing it's less than 500 science? (No milestones either)

1 minute into the game:
Double anomalies is still a thing

5 minutes in:
Landscaping is still broken.
