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 ...

Re: Report - Current Bugs and Issues

That reminds me. If you have an outpost transport in the system, and deploy it on the planet, the request to colonize will still be there. You can then give them authorization for brownie points, but of course you keep the planet for yourself as they can't actually colonize it now that there's an ou...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

When you have an outpost transport in a system where you have a colony, the colony's activity will be hidden by the "build outpost" button unless the orbits are full. I've tinkered a bit with the code and obtained something that's not very polished (I hoped the "build outpost" te...

Re: Population Panel Mod

Here's my custom version. I've spent the last few weeks without feeling the need to tinker with it further, so I'll consider it finished. Some changes: https://i.imgur.com/9PseN8B.png The planet type is written in a font that, IMO, is more legible at this size. In addition, special resources and min...

Re: Please Report Missing and/or Placeholder Text

The text for planetary defenses says "Maintining <DEFENSES> becomes increasingly expensive" instead of "Maintaining".

Re: Report - Current Bugs and Issues

I had this oddity in game 10116: a derelict colony at the same spot as a refugee colony.

Spoiler: show

Same game, save 10119: angry tinkerified colonists cause problems when they stop being angry.

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

When a refugee colony is at war with an other empire, they have pretty much no chance of survival. In this circumstance, it should be possible to offer them a protectorate status -- basically your choices are being annexed by my empire or being genocided by the other empire, so perhaps you don't hav...

Re: Please Report Missing and/or Placeholder Text

Grammar nitpick in the text that pops up when you click on a stargate icon:

I suppose the text for the relic stargate was copy-pasted and the "ancient" adjective was removed but the "an" article was forgotten about.

Re: Please Report Missing and/or Placeholder Text

In the description for "Planet Fertility", there are two different links for "Garden". The first, in the second paragraph, works fine. It leads to "Garden World". However, the second, in the third paragraph that's an aside about the Orthins, the link is just to "Ga...

Reactor component sorting

So, as a minor quality of life thing, I made myself this: https://i.imgur.com/X3KemRJ.png Sorting by reactors was easy. I even took the opportunity to give them a nice light cyan color instead of boring white. Adding the Orthin busbar power converter to the mix (since it serves as a power plant, and...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

They probably have excellent hydroponics installations as well as genetically tailored hyper-efficient crop species. Imagine they have low-fertility which halves food production but also always have the supergrain special which doubles food production so that we're back to high fertility in practice.

Re: My thoughts on Stars in Shadow

So I chained up a new condition in there: local nlocals = 2 -- magic number from galaxy_shapes.lua that, ideally, wouldn't be repeated here local pirate_stars = max(1, round | ( nstars - nempires*(1+nlocals) ) / 12.5 ) local raider_activity in advanced! if raider_activity=='none' pirate_stars=0 else...

I don't grok Lua enough to know how to do that (all my attempts ended in various error messages) so I'll just keep my zpairs for now.

Map (table/array) sorting

So I'm trying to get a list of key=value sorted by order of decreasing value, and I can't seem to find out how to do that with the available functions from iterators.lua. Keep in mind that I'm really not an expert in Lua, as I barely understand its syntax. So I've adopted the spairs function found h...
