Birth of the Federation

I was curious why you had this issue, and why you weren't building Deuterium Collectors. Now I know. There is an issue with this build where DCs aren't buildable... my guess is it's because of terraforming. You can now only build structures with planet type restrictions if at least one planet of tha...

Yeah we really need a new manual

You do not have enough deuterium, your ships cannot fill their tanks and so are stranded.
Notice that the Training Crew order costs deuterium every turn it is active - 1 per ship training.
You can use the cheat menu F11 to give yourself lots of it to check this. The ships will not be stranded anymore.

Uploaded a new patch with a few tweaks.
Will be away for a week or so, but will try to check the forums.

Hi geordie Can you check if the stranded ships are in range of any station or shipyard (that has at least one dock active)? And if you have deuteium in your stockpile? Could it be due to an affiliation+ treaty being cancelled, or a shipyard being completely deactivated (for lack of energy or whateve...

Implemented an "unavailability period" in diplomatic contacts where you have to wait a few turns after making a proposal to a civ in order to be able to make another proposal to that same civ.
Having an envoy assigned to the civ will decrease that period.

Sorry, was on a PC that didn't have the game, so I couldn't do it myself.
Here it is. LMK how it goes. Thanks!

AFAICT it's related to agents.
If you want to check if that's the problem (and you don't mind), try commenting out all the agents from the \Data\Agents.xaml file.
I think this issue has been reported some 3 years ago, and it's still around...

Hi Borealis! Glad to see you back! Yeah, RL tends to get in the way of gaming... :wink: Did you try unpacking the game again? Or re-downloading it? Seems you have a missing file. Can you check if you have the following in the game's main folder: ActiproSoftware.Shared.Wpf351.dll ActiproSoftware.Shar...

The Host will need to configure his router, BTW, but not the other players.
Check port 4455.

Nope. A few years ago we played several games with people across the globe.

The patch is live. Also uploaded the updated Resources to BB.

Break Agreements button now working. It breaks ALL current agreements though (for now), and there's no SitRep about it (yet). Also, there are no penalties yet. And the Break button is not yet disabled after being used.
Patch uploaded.

I'm trying to fix breaking agreements right now, and will upload a new patch asap if you guys want to test the new stuff.

The most recent updates: - disabled the check for .NET3.5 SP1, as it is not needed any more. - cancelling trade routes now will cancel the Open Borders treaty with the other civ and apply Regard and Trust penalties to the relationship; a Trust penalty is also incurred with every other civ in the gam...

Downloaded. Thx Blake!
