There's something fishy going on with Hierulf and his new colonies. I've now taken several planets from him with a society level of 15 or below that have Matter Synth 1 building(40-60% done). You need society level 35 for that, right?
Just a few examples:
Mu Phoesini 3 (1691.1,1552.5) Society level 12. Matter Synth 1 54% done.
Lambda Arsepeia (1661.3,1544.5) Society level 11 Matter Synth 1 60% done
These have all been new colonies he set up just two weeks ago or so. I'm reluctant to say he's out right cheating or using some hack, but something is going on that isn't normal.
