REVISION 41D NOW IN THE EXPERIMENTAL BUILD

YESSSS PUT IT IN MY EYES.

 

Good stuff. If you keep the updating at this rate this month you're going to run out of letters!

 

That's why I love this dev team!

 

Ah, when they run out of letters - they make good use of the numbers. They are quite good with numbers.

 

• Bandits can shoot and use bayonets in melee while carrying stolen items.
• [Suggestion] Colonists elevated to upper class: give them a chance of gaining the "Common Mingler" trait (or some other class-related trait). Also, mention the promotion in their bio flavour text.

 

Do you guys EVER sleep?

 

got so far in to this game and then it crashed when I accidentally clicked delete stockpile twice for the same stockpile.
Really liking the new Barracks system now that I can assign my military squad to it.

 

After my first bandit arriving message - got a script error.

• Naturalists now digging fine but wander around of their own accord and don't honour requests to investigate specific nodes
• New NCO militias still can't be assigned a rally point
• Repairs : not sure how these occur but had 2 broken ovens for 2 days, never fixed.

 

This is the save, console, and replay from my r41d. Session lasted about an hour (9 game days). I experienced no problems, and several long-standing bugs were fixed. Some random observations:

• started with Metalworker's Trove, in the Temperate Biome
• in the Work Crew interface, it's nice that assigned crews are a different colour than unassigned
• I noticed the Overseer I assigned to the Metalworks had an 'Industrial Artisan' title, where each of my other Overseers were only 'Artisan', is that significant?
• assigning a colonist as a Militia member, under an NCO, did not anger them as it usually would
• burials seem to be working as intended, finally (and I noticed the names of the deceased when zooming in)
• the barracks is pretty neat - after filthly foreigners wiped out my military, I built the barracks and turned a regular work crew into a militia, who then trained up into redcoats
• the Overseer of that crew did not get a white name like other NCO's however, and it's unclear if she is actually an NCO, as her title remains 'footsoldier'
• as far as I was able to tell, their active job remained 'get swole' long after they'd become soldiers
• also, 'get swole' is temporary placeholder text, right? Although funny, it's pretty anachronistic

 

Recruited military to fight some bandits - each time, the NCO runs away with "Hunt (order)" as current task leaving the regular troops to fight. Happened 3 times now.

While foraging bandit camp, following script error :

 

right, yes, sorry.

 

I've noticed an issue with the fancy new Work Crew UI (which is otherwise nice-looking and doesn't seem to cause the game to lag):

• the entry for Work Crews assigned to a workshop are shaded slightly darker, good
• Work Crews so assigned have a 'zoom to workshop button', good
• this is not preserved when loading a save - they remain assigned, but are no longer shaded, and the zoom button disappears, bad
• *edit* one more thing, Work Crew job filter settings are also not preserved when loading a saved game, bad

I've attached another hour of play plus console and replay files (it immediately follows the previous uploaded save).

 

• Night time fighting also seems to be absent for animals / beetles etc. As soon as daylight hits, appears to work. Did get one colonist use a knife on a foe but no shooting from local soldiers
• Another script error, nothing instigated by me plus a save with loadout missing appearing fairly regularly
• Lingonberry bushes do not seem to be regrowing
• Farming : had about 8 workers on 2 fields while 3 other fields gradually decayed

 

First crash :

 

Doesn't cause lag? You must be kidding. Day 16, 38 colonists. When I leave the work crew menu open, people start teleporting around the map at times, and I am experiencing severe slowdown at times as well.

 

I've got a file that should show the issue here.

Hope this helps

 

Brutal slowdown with work crew menu. Particularly when changing a workshop/office assignment.
