When I set up at rebang I selected the Gold so that I could run aliens.

AT some point in the process (don't remember where) I was informed that I must obtain the AI modules.

I was under the impression that the AI modules were a part of the Gold. Isn't that true?

If so, all I have to do is activate my aliens and they should run, correct?

They hunt for bubbles and construct their own planets don't they? The reason I ask is I have two identical games (actually I imported the same game into another game). The first game is about 2 days old and the aliens have their own planets. The second game was just rebanged and there are no alien planets.

I have to assume, therefore, that the aliens make their own planets, which is news to me, and pretty kewl actually.

The GOLD aliens will make there own home world if you set them up to.

In TEDIT Alien Editor on Screen first Settings screen
on Option (L) Set Maintain home sector to YES.

Option (N) sets at what Citadel Level the Homeworld starts at.

Also on screen (4) "Resources" you can specify the plant type with option (D) and the name with option (F).

Check these settings on your aliens to see what you have them set at.

Ya I know, but the option says "maintain" so there was a question mark in my mind as to whether they actually created one or if the module created it.

But thanks.

The Alien Manager creates the planet when the aliens deploy. If you have them set not to deploy until a certain day it waits until that day to make the planet.
