platform: GOG (enabled Beta channel: in_development)

Ditto. On 53244. Worked fine on earlier January builds.

Unfortunately GOG doesn't generate offline installers for alternate branches (nor preserve them for old versions). This is a GOG problem that we're all (GOG users) regularly asking for them to alter. There are a bunch of items in the community wishlist for the site asking for these.

It's MOSTLY UX ...

53238: Still no habitability colors. Checkbox in setting screen, not the new in-game visibility button. Setting is non-functional.


That's my bad. I hit the wrong buttons when uploading last night's patch to GoG -- the version that *claimed* to be 53238 was actually a somewhat earlier build ...

53226: Completed a game successfully. The invisible fleet bug never appeared even when invaded. Seems fixed.

I do appreciate your work you've been doing!

EDIT: Looking over the screenshot -- maybe it's a bug with the new sensor display thing? I only see sensor circles around my scouts and not my planets or other ships.


Yeah, I bet it's related to the new sensor thing. I have an attempted fix up (53220). Should be live on gog "in_development ...

I'm getting bombed with no indication there's even an enemy fleet at a planet.

I guess I should revert to Stable even though it has bugs itself. :(


Can you upload the save where this is happening? (If you're on the dev GoG build, the "upload game logs" button in options should be working ...

Trying the newer test builds on GOG. Currently 53210 from this week.

"Color planets by habitability" option doesn't seem to be working properly. Or at least like it used to.

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 ...

You can end up with "ghost ships" (ships that are awaiting refits) forever if you lose control of the planet on which their refit projects are "stored". For example, annex a neutral colony of another race, then queue on that planet some refits for ships, then, to demonstrate, empty the queue and do ...

Yeah... This is a case of "put them on trade ships in the corner of your empire and forget about them. Or disband the ships while they're populated just to get rid of them. Gremak's really hard to play because you can only barely use their slavery mechanics.

We're just a couple days shy of 2 years since the last update. I'd love to see a new update, even if it's a small one with the text fixes people have submitted and integration of one of those universally-loved mods (like the population panel). I hope Sven and Jim are doing well and all that. SiS is ...

If medium is 3, large must be least 6, because a large mount can be used as two mediums. (In fact, this is often the optimal choice for ships that have no issues closing to range, and for particular techs - many twin medium mounts do more damage than a single large.)

Indeed. I do hope there's an ...

I always felt it was strange that, of all the empires, the Tinkers functioned oddly/differently when annexed. The others give you their big perks, but not the Tinkers. Nice hunting to track it all down!

No matter the faction I'm playing, I always prioritize Containment Fields + Fusion as my first research goal. Every game varies from there, though there's a strong bias toward Market Theory then Self-Organizing Networks as early as possible. If other plants have useful but not friendly species, I'll ...
