probably due to differetn types of pops freed

Yes. You get a different bonus for each type of free slave, I don't consider this as a bug though perhaps the race could be placed in the text to make this clearer.

Yes that would help with clarity
Also if all freed slave bonuses are listed after another so they form a group and makes it easy to see at a glance how much wieght they alltogether have even if not aggregated into a single metric

[nweismuller]

When a planet experiences a successful slave revolt, the slaves don't free themselves, which makes it trivial to take the planet. Experienced when my neighbors the Gremak got their own population on Algor knocked down to below one unit, so the Algorians revolted... and remained slaves.

But they are still counted in the rebellion strenght correct?

[nweismuller]

Presumably, given they successfully revolted against the Gremak. They aren't counted in defensive strength for the planet, which meant I was able to take the planet as the Phidi with no resistance whatsoever.

Minor graphical bug.

The Tinkers Heavy Cruiser overlays don't seem to be working as intended.
When torpedoes are equipped in the dome hardpoints, the lower part of the weapon images clip through the hull layer.

Spoiler: show

This does not appear to affect any of the other Tinker ships, nor any other weapon type.
And I've not noticed it anywhere else.

Minor code bug.
\galaxy\planet_types.lua

Line 666 does not follow the same formatting as every other similar entry:

Code: Select all

663 growth 'gremak' {
664  High = { 'Hive', 'Island', 'Swamp' },   
665  Medium = {'Coral'},
666  Arid = 'Low',

Looks like it should read

Code: Select all

Low = {'Arid'},

Error during AI turn processing:

Send Report failed
Save upload also fails when going back to the previous turn

The error does not crash the game - it can continue

The resolution issue seems to have been resolved at some point for the Failing Fleet event on 4k resolution:

I have reinstalled the runtime not long ago that likely did the trick - before the two options were bumping heads together (no pixel spacing in between them)

Some interesring behaviour that doesn't seem like it ought to be happening:

When one of your colonies is in range of a Marauder base, that base will send raiding parties to your colony so long as it has transport ships available.
If those transports are captured or destroyed the base will take some time to replace them before re-commencing raids.
But when those transports escape they return to thier base and launch another raid the following turn.

The odd behaviour occurs when you destroy or capture all the combat ships, but allow the transports to escape.
When those transports return to thier base they will launch a new raid the following turn with or without any combat ships, but a new transport will be generated the same turn the raid is launched.
There does not seem to be any limit to the number of transports which can be amassed in this manner.

Well, I also hit this:

c:\dev\boost_1_44_sven\boost\random\bern...distribution.hpp
Line: 50

Expression: _p >= 0

It is very reproducible, but since I don't run a vanilla game, a save is probably not useful.

What happens is that I try to fight a Marauder base+planet, the fight goes well as far as I can determine and then I get hit with this. I suspect it's tied to looting techs from that world. Or maybe not, I've gotten techs from invading dino colonies before without issues. I can even remove the base and defences from the planet and the crash still persists.

Any ideas what to do to avoid this? I've tried commenting out or otherwise removing or making inaccessible every instance of 'bernoulli_trials' in the .lua files, both modded and unmodded, but no dice. Perhaps a circular dependency in the techs? That's the one other hard crash I had, with no error messages or anything.


Edit: Figured it out. Modified Marauder Raider combat power calculations were off and returned zero, so more than one raider company on the planet triggered this.

An occurance with the Humans that can lead to thier having some significant difficulty at game start.

If all available colony sites are only accessible with range extended ships AND those sites are >3 turns travel away from Fargone AND the colony site has low fertility, the Humans will be forced into a situation where:
-They can only land 1 pop on a world with a colony ship
-That pop is instanly "starving"
-If a farm is bought there will not be enough money in the treasury and ships will be scrapped (usually starting with the CA, which is a game ender)
-Not buying the farm means the pop starves and the colony collapses before the transports arrive & unload to start trading

This can technically be circumvented by sending both colony ships to the same place colonising with one and unloading the other, so you get twice as long before the colony implodes.
But this level of micro should ideally not be needed at all. (And the AI can't.)

Possible soultions - Any one of:
-Ensure one of the Humans "nLocals" systems is always in base ship range of Fargone
-Ensure one of the planet draws in those 2 systems always has high fertility (Island or Arid+)
-Add an extra empty Transport to the Human starter fleet
-Add an extra 50 coins to the Human starting treasury

I have two save games now that have failed to continue by a LUA error. "chibi is missing required field: race -> nil" in MoraleReports.lua, 85.

I'm on v38803 (GOG "development branch"). I never had any issues on the stable branch. I guess I need to return to it. What are the chances my saves will load fine in the older stable version (v38774)?

Seems like this bug: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27&start=1785#p11426 . Try this: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27&start=1800#p11479 .
