Been to several famine systems tonight and I'm not seeing any distribution centers. Has that mini game changed in some way?
Are distribution centers no longer permanent signal sources?

I feared this might happen. We are expected to find data and mats like an easter egg hunt.
Been to one yesterday, look for the highest population system in famine and try there.
Well if that feature has been changed, they should have told us.
Wow! Please change your avatar! I feel like lodging a complaint! Yikes!

Don't believe so; it's always been weighted on population. I had the same thing pre-beta, assumed something was horked. Turned out I just hadn't set the population filter high enough. It's likely you just hit a few low pop. For whatever reason, the BGS loves to put low pop centres into famine, just all the time. You'd think it was the massively populated system's that'd be more prone.
Just hit a famine system with a population around 70 million and no distribution centers. How high does it have to be?
Now I'm headed to a system with a population of over 2 billion!

Be interested to know the skinny (pun) on this. Distribution centres are a bit of a live saver (another pun) for some hard to find mats
It has been unreliable for a long time, but it does work. It's not just population size, but you need to be sure there are no other conflicting states between other minor factions that could trump the famine state. For instance, if two of the minor factions are at war, it will trump the famine.
No sign anything has changed in 3.0 for this.
I did end up finding one in the system with a population of 2 billion so they do still exist 3.0. Thanks everyone.
I knew that they were only visible from 1000 ls or less, but I still don't know what the minimum population for them to show up is. Somewhere lower than 2 billion is all I can say.

I needed to grab some DWEs today, found two distribution centres about 10ls from the star in Mebegernir which has a population of 26.9m so it definitely doesn't need to be as high as that. As was mentioned already the problem is often the states that other minor factions in the system are in as they can in some cases block the distribution centres from appearing.
As for the DWE spawn rates it's as random as ever. I got none for 25 minutes, then got four from my next six scans. RNGineers may be dead but their associated RNG tomfoolery is alive and well.

Video game please
