Re: Report - Current Bugs and Issues

I've narrowed this down - it looks to be related to having too many types of species on one planet? Removing all the Threshers from Bacab seemed to fix it. It's not "too many races", it's some of the minor races that cause this issue, because they lack some of the "chibi" icons ...

MoraleReports crash and workaround

Had a crash on the current in-development version (r38808). Apparently it was triggered by a report about unhappy Harmonized Humans becoming content again - I think the problem is that there's no Chibi for harmonized populations, so the notification icon can't be built. I worked around it by making ...

Re: Site Issues

FWIW: Some browsers now default to https, and display an error message instead of trying http. Not the site's fault, but potentially bad for business. Forum members who reuse their password are at greater risk if the connection is not encrypted. And kinda out there: While you don't do any transactio...

Re: Auto Migration?

IMO spawning additional pop for free would be OP, period.

Maybe instead redirect population growth from full planets?

Re: Unused tech

Habitat Modules can be used to take control of planets with Natives, even if you don't have the tech to settle the planet type.

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

I don't think the average player would have any idea, intuitively, of the difference between "upgrading" a ship and "refitting" one. One presumably doesn't refit a ship unless the refit is an upgrade. If that's the issue, call it "auto-refit" or something while the old...

Re: Stupid question?

Off the top of my head, you can use the developer options to cycle through the available colors for your own empire.

You can also change AI faction colors by switching to them (enable the AI Dev option, then Alt+Click on one of their planets).

"VISCID ADAPT VISCID IMPROVISE"

...and then a new cypher.

Hrm.

Better nix the androids... ships instead.
Enough ships for all non-rebellious population.

Re: Viscid

I noticed that S->H and H->S
And if I'm right that BLF=YOU, B->Y... so the second letter is the penultimate letter...

OK, I think it's backwards alphabet:

Re: Viscid

Gonna bet in this thread it was "WHO LIKE VISCID" "WE ALL LIKE VISCID". Latest message is "I LIKE VISCID UHH FRIEND" But then both B and D map to W Also "TOO" would make more sense than "UHH": I LIKE VISCIDS TOO FRIEND So BLF is probably not WHO... ...

Re: Tiny rocks and gas giants question

Argh. It figures they'd be in German. I'm your typical ignorant American who only reads English. I am not sure, but I doubt the "second empire" books were ever published in English. The highest number I ever read was something like #88 in the Ace editions. Let me check the list on perrype...

Re: Tiny rocks and gas giants question

Just remembered another old game - Perry Rhodan: Operation Eastside. Gas Giants there could not be settled - but they had moons, and the moons were treated exactly like planets. No chit? Somebody made a Perry Rhodan game? Man I remember reading those books as a kid. Can I blink on "tell me mor...

Re: Tiny rocks and gas giants question

We want to avoid the situation where you can always place colonies on all four orbital slots. This is partly for the flavor of the game -- good colony sites should be rare enough that factions may get into conflict over the best ones -- and partly for mechanical considerations, as increasing the nu...
