BETA 52A BETA 52A: PROTECT YOUR MEAT FROM FOXES

Am I right if I assume that the "Upkeep: 1 <Bushel of Sausages icon>" on the Carpentry Workbench module list tooltip is a leftover from some kind of internal feature testing?

 

It seems to me the Power Saw would be the perfect place to slice your Deathwurm Bratwurst. Wurmwurst, as it were, the revolting native dish of the Antipodean jungle.

 

Or is it perhaps the most hidden secret of the game?

 

Still having issues with crafting goods with multiple inputs. Took several attempts to create the iron oven (plates, pipes, and bricks), and the commodities were lost if the builder was interrupted.

 

Yeah, this is the big one. Tea time or night hits and colonists tend to forget they had already started making something, so they start completely over when a new shift begins. But the initial commodities from their original incomplete attempt had already been eaten by the smelter or workbench etc.

I'll try to get another save that demonstrates this.

 

So... if you're peaceful with the bandits... and they wander near camp... they disassemble your buildings? I just had a bandit come up to my town and disassemble a ceramics workshop!!!!

 

and FYI make pickled chilies doesn't work. I have the items in my inventory and my overseer is just idle on shift or he sits there cleaning the workshop. I've wanted to make these for a long time I wish they would get fixed.

***edit***

I loaded up that save after posting this and it took me to before I had the workbench up. Either way this has been an issue for quite a few versions now.

 

Woah, that's a pretty crazy bug! I haven't made friends with bandits in ages (they're pretty harmless lately), but I might have to try it just to see that!

 

Commodity issue still occurs for me in the old save from 0.52. In the save game attached place an order for 3 small iron ovens in the metalworks. the 3 iron plates and pipes are available in the stockpile at the door, the bricks are located in another stockpile.
The bug seems to be occuring when the overseer is doing the crafting, if one of the group members is doing it, everything seems to be running fine.
Will test a new game start afterwards.

 

Still have phantom traders arriving with no goods in their hands. The hands are outstretched but nothing in them

Also, got loads of glass plates but they are not appearing in the list for trading despite being selected.

And one last weird one : made 2 pipes and plates ready for iron smelting furnace. One moment they were there then gone - nothing used them just poof ....

 

Anyone that has tried the build able to say if the bug where workshops don't clear out old production modules from the activity list when they're demolished is resolved in this experimental?

As I tend to do a lot of tweaking and replacement of old modules, the fact the workshop window is incapable of updating itself to not list modules that have been removed from the workshop eventually makes trying to order things more hassle than it's worth trying to remember if unspecified workbench 1,2,3 and 4 in the list were the new ones or the old ones that don't exist anyone yet can still be assigned production orders to them which achieves nothing.

Or progressing from stone to brick modules, removing all the stone ones as I go and yet still having them flooding up the workshop window list is equally annoying and something that has been lingering around as a annoying oversight for some time now.

 

@Tiki, I usually just build the workshop large enough at first to accomodate all the new modules as well as the old/obsolete ones. Or, you can prebuild all the new modules, then quickly demolish and remake a new workshop. As long as you have a workcrew with a few workers on it, it shouldn't take more than half a day to complete and be back up and running.

Forbid the stack, then reclaim it, then mark it for trade again.

 

OMG .. it even worked Thanks. No idea why I did not think of that but excellent !

 

You should actually refine those glass panels into bottles and trade the bottles instead. You get more value.

 

Example save with traders just arriving and dumping goods away from trading post.

 

I'll attach a save game later when my internet speed improves. I had a bug with NCO promotion. The NCO/overseer was killed and another member of the crew was promoted. However, the new leader is not acting as a leader, the crew is not in military gear either. I finally switched overseers, and the newly promoted overseer does not act like an overseer when assigned to a workshop (he just idles or wonders near overseer).
