Good catch. It'll be corrected next time I push up some changes. Maybe today

I see the battles you're' talking about. The terran fed units aren't defending me either. Its weird. I'll have to take a look and see what's going on there.

After doing a raid the order gets cancelled, i'd expect the order to stay unless there is another order in the orders list.

I tried to upload my battlesuits onto a freighter but they apparently stayed at their home location and the freighter is on its way to the target. If I did something wrong or a freighter is not intended for transporting units then I should get a warning/message and it should not have taken off at all. The order line is as follows:

Edit		1	Load / Unload Units	Load Units: Battlesuit
Edit		2	Move To Location	Alpha | Orion | Sector 1 | Sol | Earth | Warsaw
Edit		3	Load / Unload Units	Un-Load Units: Battlesuit
Edit		4	Move To Location	Alpha | Orion | Sector 1 | Sol | Pluto | Pluto_3

Having 100 different level 1 fighters or having one fighter at level 10 (which makes it 100x) is exactly the same. Combat, attack everything. It just is cheaper to upgrade a single unit.

My carrier only shows 3 fighters loaded into it (and apparently I can't load more) but says "40/33"

Can't load fighters into my battleship either.

There is something wrong with displaying resources available at a location. First I visited my water... farm then I switched to a tobacco farm at HQ and it said there: Available resource at the location: water so it simply showed the resource which was previously displayed.

I sold that water and now it isays tobacco... I do not get it.

It looks like once built it is called a Base

so warfactory builds transports as well?

My bad, I meant war factory (or vehicle factory maybe)... Hopefully one of those allows us to build them.

There is a vehicle factory but it just produces vehicles as regular products. There is no way to produce transports other than at hq which is insufficient. We do need to be able to produce transports on other planets to make things go swifter.

Shipyard and bases are considered Military units even though they are more like structures, kind of like defenses. They have combat values and can do damage so they kind of had to be in the Military unit category. Your factories take hits but don't do any damage..

Is the shipyard a ship? My military says I have 2 ships but I only have a freighter. If shipyard is a ship, I can't get it to leave the planet.

I invited someone to my guild, but there are no options for them to accept/reject the invite (guessing its not in game yet?)

Can't build with HQ, Base and Shipyard at the same time (even if I have enough money). Apparently the queue is shared and can only build one at a time still.

I upgraded my HQ to level 2, however when upgrading I selected a different resource because I want to be able to produce two different resources but I do not see any information that my HQ is capable of producing the two resources (tobacco and water in my case). At the top of the main tab Corporate HQ I can just see Tobacco and water is not mentioned anywhere.. or can I produce different resources without upgrading my hq?

In the "Corporate" window, "Accounting" tab, the balance sheet does not correctly show expenditures for the "Bought" column. When I built my Transport, it cost 10k credits, and they were deducted from the balance, but the deduction is not itemized in the balance sheet.

... It takes $1000 a turn to run a level 1 structure with no bonuses, My corp HQ is running at a cost of $625 a turn right now. My level 3 farms that produce 5x rate only cost $3125 a turn to run.

The bonus is a reduction in cost not a bonus to production. Your cost is dividied by (1 + your bonus as a fraction) so like bonus 50% is cost of (1000 / 1.5) which is $666 (Evil laugh) . 100% bonus divided the cost in half at 200% it would divide by 3

Got another significant bug for you, transports always load as many resources as they can carry. They ignore the amount specified to load.

I know what causes that one, it happens when you try to rename something after the turn timer has ended, instead of renaming it, it reloads the page for the new turn and undoes your name change.

When someone replies to a message I sent, I get no notification, it also sits in my sent folder, I would have expected it to be in my incoming messages

It would be really nice to be able to "drop all" cargo at once rather than one order for each type.

It looks like orders for one of my transports sometimes take 2 turns each (or more?). For example "Move To Location" has changed into the loop stage after 2 turns, whereas in a case of another transport (from different location) it did after 1 turn.

Sorry if someone already said this.
This is probably not a bug, but getting tossed out of the game if I am inactive for +20 min.

I can one up that idea. how about ACP is only a single Item and you can choose what structure to build when you deploy it, They all cost the same anyway. If I needed something different I can make a different variation of it

Maybe instead of a whole separate list acp could be a checkbox.

It might be helpful if resources needed by factories are used after resources are produced but BEFORE sell orders are filled so you don't have to go through and reserve every little resource you need and you can just sell the leftovers by using sell all.

Well than how am I supposed to start my insane religious doom cult corporation that forcibly spreads it's religious indoctrination across the stars, if I can only build "one" church? :P

PS: Also found that if you cancel a construction project while it's in-progress you lose both the building and the entire cost spent on it. Not sure this is a bug, but you should get "something" back. Or at least a warning that you'll lose everything.
edited by Valhalla on 4/10/2016

The workaround is too relocate your Corp HQ and build from there until I put them in =)

No warning on cancel construction something I need to look into.

The option to dissolve a ACP building says "half value" is 50k, but ACP costs 150k to make.

Got a whopper of a bug for you, seems structures that require materials to produce goods don't actually require the materials. Explains why cyborg is making bank on his spaceport, and why my churches makes 5x as much money as my mining facilities. Also when upgrading a factory requiring materials to produce goods, the amount of goods shown to be required does not increase.

PS: Also for the love of me, I can't figure out how to build non-ACP structures in other cities. (Such as churches) as they seem to only be buildable via the headquarters.
edited by Valhalla on 4/10/2016

In-game messages are still marked as new even after they have been read.

How much cargo is needed for APC? I have a scout with 50 cargo and I can't pick one up.

HQ queue is not building anything now. It shows in the main asset list as building something but the build time is not going down (and I have enough money to build it).


*edit* I cleared all my other queues and it started building. Perhaps we need some sort of unified building queue that shows a list of what we are trying to build, rather than having to check every single unit we own.
edited by cyb0rg on 4/10/2016

In viewscreen under "resources" city names are not properly displayed. I am only seeing coordinates for most of them.

I saw this problem earlier also. The only place you can see it before you build anything is trying to make it at your Corp HQ which can make anything and you'll see the components its takes. It needs to be on display on some clickable popup help screen that shows every formula in the game from the database. Not sure where to put it is all

I found the bug and corrected it.
It seems that when whatever was in your queue completed, the next item in your queue wouldn't "Start" because you didn't have the funds but it was getting a "Finish Construction Turn" by accident. So even thought didn't look like it started and you didn't pay for it yet, it would be constructed 2-5 turns later.

You could of put a dreadnaught behind a transport in your queue and you would have the dreadnaught "building" after the transport was created.

Cyb0rg gets to keep what he stole (yeah I said STOLE!) from this and I'll probably give everyone else a money boost =)

So how about that badge?

I just tried again too and it didn't work. I guess I will try to reproduce it.

Also this is more a feedback than a bug report, but you should really reconsider the progression pace of the tutorial. As when you get to the part where you should build your first structure you hit a two mile high wall that basically reads "Come back in 8-10 hours." While thats fine for the game propper, you don't want brand new players having to wait half of an entire day to do a single step of the "tutorial". That would cause a massive number of people to quit immediately. (If I were trying out a random browser game and came across that in the tutorial, I'd move on to the next game myself.)

Originally the tutorial was doing something like that. It was slamming the build time to 1 turn for the starting items and giving you money or reducing the cost of the next structure. There is a problem with giving money away like this though. You can make 10 accounts do a few turns of the tutorial and then salvage and or transfer the money to a main account through a contract where you'll have a million on day one. I had to reverse those changes. It was getting complicated to try to mitigate it. I might revisit it and try to at least reduce the build times. The build times have all been put to a couple turns right now

Hmm, fair point. I have a proposal that could work. Since the tutorial is just there to show you how things work, you could have the tutorial tell you to build special "tutorial" buildings and units that cost nothing and give nothing and are removed after the tutorial. Or you could make the tutorial seperate from the game propper, in an instanced sort of area, and once completed you move into the real game. This way people can go through the tutorial in less than an hour, yet learn everything, and you have no exploiting of the freebies. Though let's face it, your going to have a lot of people who cheat and use a dozen+ accounts who funnel it all into a main account anyway. Always happens in this sort of game. (Though I'd love for you to be the first to come up with a solution for that.)

Is there somewhere you can find out the resources needed to make a product before you spend 100k making a building?

I'm realizing that this is hard to find because it doesn't show up as links nor does it make it obvious you can drill down. On the viewscreen tab go to "demand" and then click on "Raw materials" on the list of categories, Then "Minerals" then "Precious Minerals". You will see the demand for Precious Minerals. As you narrow down to Preciouos Minerals the grid shows you averages whatever category your looking at HOWEVER, you need to also zoom all the way down to the city you are interested in. If you are zoomed out looking at a planet, the demand (which is the sell price) will be an AVERAGE for the whole planet

I found that page earlier, however I still don't see a clear value on that page. Here is what I see.



The "Demand" is just a colored bar. The only numbers of this page are under "%" and "AVG" So I'm taking a wild guess that the numbers under "AVG" are the price per unit. This is very very confusing to try and make sense of.

UPDATE
I take that back, it's not a bug. It won't allow you to choose any other Player name OR login name in the system because anyone's login can potentially be their player name by default.
