Supremacy new release

[geordie]

After 40 turns with Mar07 installed and a couple of turns Mar09 installed I got this error, just after clicking turn end:

Error 20200310.txt

My garrison troops didn't grow after adding Mar09 - a correction - troops started growing once I have opened the game after the crash.

That's similar to the crash that you reported some time ago, with your 20200224 log. The planet mesh one.
That's odd, haven't seen anyone else report this. I just played about 100 turns in a game and the game ran flawlessly.

[geordie]

I have played almost 50 turns withiut any problem before that one.
OK. So another one:

That one I probably experienced first time or.... after a long break

[Iceman]

You're getting a few gfx-related crashes. Could this be something on your end? Since no one else is reporting anything similar.

New patch uploaded.

The Economy overview mode will not display some information for colonies you don't own (build order, TRs, pop) - that information will only be available when you have a spy on the colony. Spies are yet to be implemented.

Fixed a bug with the AI trying to build science stations when they're not available yet.

The AI should now build stations to increase range. It is only a first pass, needs to be improved, but it should help some when the AI gets "stuck".

New patch uploaded.
Fixed the issue with random events not triggering.
Made terrorism events only trigger if current pop > the colony's intel production, and a colony now only requires current pop / 2 in intel to be safe from those events.

Made terrorism events only trigger if current pop > the colony's intel production, and a colony now only requires current pop / 2 in intel to be safe from those events.

I assume it would be really harsh competition in the early colony development: food, security, production and science. The starting intel has only 25 points! I propose a modification, for example: pop / 2 - 60 (or 70 or at least 50)
It would also automatically delay some events.

[Iceman]

All colonies have a "grace period" of 30 turns from their founding where everyone is on wait and see mode. Malcontents only start doing their thing after that period

To "fix" the current situation where events don't trigger, you can edit the Data\ScriptedEvents.xaml file and remove/comment the NoOccurrencePeriod line for all events (until we fix it properly).
I'll attach the file here too.

Josh has a couple more nice fixes for the next release. As soon as he pushes them, I'll probably make a new release since the IndexedCollection crashes seem to have been fixed.

Hi Iceman,
What are now the game rules for surveyor ships?
It looks that I need only one ship of each class.

[Iceman]

Once you survey a certain stellar phenomena, you will only be able to survey it again (and collect more RPs) with a survey ship with a higher ScienceAbility value. You can survey others of the same type for more RPs.
Surveyors can still be used as (not so efficient) Scouts.

I was trying Mar14 today and got the following error:

Error 20200317.txt

(1.52 KiB) Downloaded 94 times

I assume that it is the OB related, but I destroyed two batteries in the same assault, just before landing the troops

[geordie]

I couldn't pass through that error. I had to split the invasion into two steps: first turn to destroy the batteries and next one to land the troops

[Iceman]

Do you have a savegame?
