[quote who="Croc411" reply="71" id="3716464"]This happens all the time, also with other player wonders like Computer Core and Central Bank. So far I was unable to determine a pattern, but it could possibly have to do with loading a savegame. If would be fine if it only happened after conquering a planet that has such improvements (when you destroy those and then rebuild them somewhere else). But it definitely also happens without getting them first from another civ or minor r

[quote who="LunarMongoose" reply="56" id="3716202"]Lol of course it is... That's what I was trying to say in the 3.02 thread, that ppl were still posting that it was still happening (with screenshots!), and all I get from Kael is "I don't agree the AI is exempt from range rules...". /facepalm[/quote] I hear you, but just to be clear I said that it is possible that there is a bug. But, what I disagreed with was the statement that the AI ignores the range system. Having stepped through

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="48" id="3715766"] Also can we make it that when a game starts it automatically take out what we don't have; instead, of requiring us to uninstall dlc to play multiplayer; because the 2 of us have different dlc's.

[quote who="Horemvore" reply="37" id="3715252"] Colony Module costs 23 Maintenance, looks like some one pressed 2 and 3 by accident. Well it will cost 23 when ship component maintenance gets fixed as someone else has already pointed out it does not work with OnTime but needs to be Flat. I have this fixed my end, it does have some large impact on economy, since ships from 3.0 untill now, have cost very little to nothing. I know tourism was reduced pre 3.0 release and would not

[quote who="Strobe_" reply="39" id="3715307"] I think tourism might be broken. Or maybe I don't understand how it works. I built a couple of ports and it changed my weekly income from -650 to +400,000 a week. I built a couple more and now I'm getting -419,000 per week. All building happened before I clicked "Turn" See screenshot. Reduced 40% <div clas

[quote who="scifi1950" reply="18" id="3715075"] Kael - I posted an issue on Discord (5/13) that I had with the Sylne when I tried to play 3.02 that I had never seen. They were so overpowered that they were 10x more powerful than anyone else right at the start of the game. When I started a game without them all was back to normal. I didn't see anyone else commenting that they were seeing this, but since I was able to replicate the behavior in a 2nd game I thought i

[quote who="Nilfiry" reply="23" id="3715133"] I see this same issue with Entertainment Centers in the base game, where upgrades are actually downgrades. Entertainment Centers give a flat +1 with +1/level adjacency bonus, but its upgrades, Entertainment Network and Stadium, only gives 20% and 25% respectively, with an adjacency bonus of +0.1/level. This is basically a massive downgrade. [/quote] Fixed, thanks.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="14" id="3715056"] Wow, thanks for the quick changes! Here's another one that might need to be fixed. The Colonial Hospital has a flat +0.2 to growth. Its upgrade, the Xeno Medical Center, has a flat +0.1 and a multiplier of .25. For most planets, the change from a flat +0.2 to +0.1 is a downgrade, even with the additional 25% multiplier. For my own games I have "fixed" this by changing the Colonial Hospital t

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="5" id="3714999"] There was a discussion on the forums not too long ago about the starting positions of the races in the galaxy when playing with fewer than the recommended number. For example, in a huge galaxy with tight clusters and 6 AI opponents, I was pretty consistently seeing 2 to 4 AI opponent's home worlds in the same cluster where I started, with completely empty clusters on the other side of the map.

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="4" id="3714998"] Should Steam be showing me a 3.03 opt-in beta release? [/quote] No, I haven't released an optin yet. I just put the post up so you guys can see what's coming.

I've tried to go through the other posts here. But please let me know if there are other issues I should be checking out.

Thank you for the save, those are gold! Especially since that issue doesn't reproduce locally (I think you have a broken custom ship in your pirate style that is causing this). But either way I have a fix that will go into 3.03 and prevent this crash. Thanks again!

Port of Call doesn't give a 500% bonus. You must have an old save or a mod that is giving it that.

Support is going to see if they can track down your ticket for me so I can check it out, but I'm not sure what you mean by this. This is what I see: Can you show me, or link a save so I can checkout the issue you are experiencing? Also, as a reminder, please create topics like this in the support forum.

The issue that was constraining me was the MaxHabitalPlanets in MapSizeDefs.xml. (ie: no matter how likely i made habitable planets it was hitting this limit and not placing any more). Yes it is moddable. I increased it for most map sizes so we can get into those ranges if that's what players have their settings for, but I didn't do it at Insane map size (which was already a high limit) because more colonies means more cpu and more memory cost and I want player to be able to finish games.

This is what I've been playing with and it's working out pretty well. I also found an issue constraining the amount of habitable planets in another file (so no matter how frequent they were here you wouldn't get any more). I tried to take advantage of each setting to give players the most customization possible. I'll keep playing with it and get these in for 3.03.

I see what you are saying, I'll play with it. Thank you for the feedback.
