Artifact bug, maybe?

So, I jsut went into map designer to change around my current universe, just pop out the pirate bases and replace em with wormholes for more "hey look, i'm now right over here" fun, but er, I can see where every artifact in the universe is already, and its not even been 5 minutes. Instead of planets having to discover them, they seem to have all discovered them from the moment I finished loading in.

 

I dont know if its a bug or glitch or what not, it just seems a lil...strange. Though I know exactly what planets to take now though, dont even have to explore the other planets now, yes I know I should to get all the non-artficat bonuses, but hopefully, you can see what I mean, oh denizens of the interwebz.

 

Edit: Adding pirate bases back in seemed to make everything go back to how it should be, with the "I can only see phase lane connected planets" and overall "just started" visibility...I'm a tad confused, though it could of just been a one-off.

Btw, didn't use preview btw, since I use it for 4 set players, not the random 10 players preview gives me.

It does sound like you used the preview button though. Preview mode doesn't show you ten random players when you preview a map that conatins less players in total... Maybe you accidentally previewed the galaxy while you didn't intend to do so. I wouldn't know what else could have happened...

Thats the thing though, I saved, so I could go TEC Loyals now I've finished with the rebels and Advent Rebel, while setting up the other three players with the other factions.

I tried to do it again by replacing pirate bases with wormholes, and failed to repeat, so I'm just curious as to if its happened to anyone else, or did my machine just have one of "those" moments? She is starting to get on in age. If its a one-off I can totally forget it, but even if just one other person has had the same, well then...
