Pragmatism - Trader ... bug?

March 26, 2015 5:17:55 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Got the beta 5 update installed. Yay!

Started a new game, Terrans. When I colonized my first world, decided to go Pragmatic at the ethical dilemma. For my ideology, I picked the trading one. The tooltip/hovertext said it would increase my trade licenses by 1. I got a trading ship at Earth, but no trading license. Flying the freighter to an alien world simply resulted in the "no licenses" message.

Is the text broken, the effect broken, or do I simply misunderstand what it's supposed to do?

Check to see if you have any trades going 

im pretty sure in B4 it worked right however there was a bug where if the ai sent a freighter to one of your worlds it would use up one of your trade routes

Go into Govern Tab up top. Check and see how many available licences you can have. Its its MORE than 3 than you got your free license.

Governor dialog's Trade page shows no trade routes active, and 0/0 licenses available.

Plus, I still have the freighter sitting just off Tortoon.

Hmmm.... You saying 'more than 3' maybe hints that it's a case of me not understanding how it's supposed to work. I haven't researched the trading techs. I just got the ideology pick. I probably need to go research trading, and then maybe I will get the extra license along with my base ones.

 

Update: Researching trade after taking it yielded 1 trade license, so either I screwed myself by taking the ideology perk too early, or it's busted.

Paul has just said on the Steam Stream that trade is slightly broken in that if another faction initiates a trade route with you it takes up one of your licenses.  If this is what happened to you, it's now a Known Bug.

I just took this Pragmatic Trading choice to see what would happen if I already had a trade route, since the original poster did not.  Same result.  I got the freighter, but my 1/1 trade available trade licenses stayed at 1/1 when it should have gone to 2/2.

I suggest this thread be moved to the support forum, inthedock.  To do that, edit your original post, and change the category to "Support" in the drop down list.  The developers check the support forum more often for bug reports.
