trying to start on my second one and can't seem to get anything to work. i have it set up so that all of the events (currently only 3) to show up in the first sector with only random events and shops along with them. i edited the sector data so that my events are something like min-10 max-15 and that has been working fine for testing purposes.
basically if i only have an event and text it will work but every time i try to add a choice my events disappear and im left with a sector full of shops
here is the sector data part i changed
Code: Select all
