A random event with a single individual

There is a random event that happens where a single person is discovered and you get to choose what to do. One of the options says to make the observation post into a class 5 world but when you do it you get a class 2 world. It happened twice in the beginning of 2 games at less than 10 turns and destroyed both games because a class 2 planet is too little to be self sufficient and there is no option to destroy colonies.

The internal name of the event is Event_MysteriousOutpost. It's located in PlayerEventDefs.xml in the Gameplay/Events directory. The problem is in the first choice. It doesn't give a class 2 world. The world it gives can range from 1 to much higher. One time I received a class 12 world. It usually gives a class 2 or class 3 world.

I see. After it happened 4 times in a row I inferred it was a typo. There seems to be problems with how planetary improvements and tile bonuses work as well. The behave very different than GalCiv III. In each case I have an uncontrolled growth on my home world that increments my negative food balance and doesn't seem to react to planetary improvements or techs in a clear purposeful way. I end up with low approval, a growth explosion and negative food production. Nothing seems to stop population growth.
