REVISION 39D IN EXPERIMENTAL BRANCH: Well, That Was Fast

And I crashed it during saving.. also got a script error..

oh, added the autosave that happened when it crashed.. just 70 mb console file this time.

 

Would a previous save help? As I do have a bit of a fort way of building currently. Only want bandits/fishpeople to have 1 way in to my stockpile, resulting in buildings touching. and kitchen being buildt a bit irregular in shape.. and seeing it might be of help?

(PS, ill add a little suggestion for buildings/module construction here instead of a seperate post or thread, Could we get a size counter while putting down the floor? so its easier to get buildings in size you want X= number of blocks upwards Y= blocks to left (or rigth).
Second a way to pause construction of building/module)?

 

Think I just broke the game in a new way.. As I wanted to make some fish pies, I had previously (before save and load, put fish pies above pickle shrooms, autosave happened, played to next save that crash I reported earlier happened, and I loaded the previous save (whit fishpies above pickling) and noticed they still pickled, and job saying finishing product (or production), went to jobs list and cancelled the workshop job, everyone is stuck in place, its kind of a freze, but all ui is clickable and bringing up correct screen, except kitchen. I tried to choose save and quit, it did not do anything.
Ehh, attaching console and replay, let me know if you want any other files.

 

Finally, the colonists aren't moving in ticks when their number exceeds 30. At least one good thing.

 

I've been away for a little while and seem to have missed some changes to how mining works. Current game: no copper ore nearby. I built a mine which told me it would produce "clay, , clay" (it seems something was missing from the middle). It has since produced absolutely nothing, despite several switches to work crew. Nobody will go down there. I'm stuck for how I'm going to make brass components at the moment.

And whats with the naturalists going around telling what various ore nodes are? How's that helping? (PS if that does help, it needs to be with one of the notifications that lets you click to zoom to location, rather than just in the ticker)

 

The marker remains after you mine the surface nodes, so you know where to build a mine if you had a convenient surface node around.

As for missing things, I have a cult with no name. Like, literally: there are three cults and the middle one has a blank space for a name (also, can you take a look at the carpentry workshop neighboring the ceramics workshop? It appears to have stopped working, despite replacing work crews and clearing out job lists).

 

You see I've been in the jungle in a cult with no name,
It felt good to go mad in the rain.

 

Still, it really isn't that useful. The player just has to remember where the surface nodules were and/or construct the mine before they're all exhausted. Not that difficult. Don't forget that the game outright tells you what the mine will produce when you order its construction; you could just cancel the construction job before any effort goes into it if you get a dry hole. The naturalist should be able to identify hidden deposits of minerals AND it should take significant effort to find them without him/her.
