Revision 30D is up...

I read that as FIXED: Evil crops should not longer create script terrors and wondered why that obvious feature was removed.

 

SECRET 30D CRASH FILES (SHH DON'T TELL ANYBODY).

I didn't see any evil plants or script errors, although that may have been because my colonists were too busy being shot and stabbed to death by fish people to tend the crops. I can verify that soldiers will in fact keep building barricades and cheerfully ignore rampaging fish people. On the plus side, the graveyard bug is gone, and the burial animation works, which is good, because my guess is we'll be seeing it a lot.

Maybe have some kind of "Rally Town" button to push when there's an attack? Colonists could grab a weapon, go to a solider rally point, and treat fish people as if they had a Frontier Justice button on them.

Sorry there's no .dmp file - it exists but is empty.

 

Hmm. Anybody else finding clay nodes don't create jobs when designated for mining?

Also, is rhyolite actually useful for anything in this build?

 

I like the sound of all of that Should have that rally button maybe separate so you can decide whether you want the whole town to assist in the defence or just your military. Either way I think it does sound like a brilliant idea to implement if you can do it

 

IIRC, Age of Empires and Rise of Nations both have Rally buttons similar to what I mentioned, if you want to see examples in practice.

 

Yea I know what you mean. Used to play them like all the time Good reference actually. Would work similarly in CE in that sense.

 

No mining icon pops up on the node, no entry in the jobs window, no colonists move to the node.

I'll try again tomorrow after validating the install, but all of the clay nodes I encountered tonight were like this -- exactly the same as how sapling jobs aren't working.

 

Majority of the time you find your self click dragging anyway. Only the odd 1 or 2 singular items like a berry bush or that which you actually left click. Would seem logical to do so.

Also the same thing happens with saplings too btw. You can click on one and it won't show any job or icons to indicate the order was issued but usually click dragging causes it to confirm the order to be done when selecting multiple ones using the "Clear saplings" command.. Just depends really. I would like to see those tree trunks being able to be removed

 

As it should be for now At least it is in the to do list. Thank you for sharing and clarifying that.

 

Most stable game yet on 30D.

Colony was a flourishing and prosperous beyond what was to be expected, with large surpluses of food sources at the ready and a regiment of strong, healthy soldiers to maintain morale! Granted the less socially inclined were a bit fussed when the proper homes were designed and produced for their social betters, but alas food was in abundance!

Now now.. there's been talking of 'the People' and I will not have it! Not in front of the Queen's image I daresay no! I expect to have dignitaries here and there shall be no more talk of, 'fish' people.. wives tales. I told Lord Witherbottom before I ventured upon this journey, "If you let those Irellians in, they'll drink the colony away!" And what has happened I ask? Look upon this glorious land and they tell me that the bloody fish are walking! Bloody preposterous! Best if I leave that out of the report to Her Majesties' Government what?

 

How do we patch in these updates? I am on Steam right now and it does not seem to be revising 30B.

 

In order to get the latest "Test" build. You must opt into it via steam.

1.Right Click on your game via the steam library
2.Click Properties and then the very far away tab entitled "Betas" click on it.
3.Once you have clicked on it you will see a drop down menu.
4.Select Experimental then close the box. It will then start downloading CE REV30D which is the current build.

(IMO the most stable of all builds so far )

 

* Placing a military rally point up against an impassible cliff - the point will be unselectable either directly or by dragging, thus can't be cleared.
* Fishpeople with guns seem to stop shooting and ignore the world around them if their target goes to sleep. Obviously, they want the surface dwellers to see it coming...
* (suggest dropping the word "make" from all in-progress production queue texts.)
