BETA 51 BETA 51: Frontier Living in Interesting Times

Holy crap, a new version, and CE has entered Beta, to boot! Congratulations, Devs. I realize I can't actually know what it's been like, slugging it out in the code-mines, but I feel like I've been peripherally involved in helping raise a difficult child.

Enjoy your long weekend! I just might be spending mine eating pizza and playing Clockwork Empires.

 

Grats on the beta!

I'm also getting invisible floors

And another odd rendering glitch where some of the memories show up "blank", so you hover over them to see what they are (only "making a friend" or "suck up to positive" as far as I can tell). Then the lil popup hangs out forever.


Finally, I had a guy get totally stuck, even though he has plenty of space to walk, either between the cots or through unbuilt cots.

edit: wrong ss. fixed now.



Dunno if it will help, but I attached the save with all three errors (invisible floor, stuck colonist, menu-that-won't-go-away)

 

Just when I thought I was out...Guess Ill have to take this for a test drive tonight.

Questions: Are the quantities reported by the commodities menu reliable now? Also, did that forge breaking error with the copper plates get fixed? That was brutal. Im having trouble picking either of these out in the patch notes.

 

Carpenter workers are getting stuck while building chemistry workbenches. They take the logs and glass bottles to the carpentry workbench, and then just stare at it.

 

Just got this too. Hoping this gets hotfixed, since lacquered wood is pretty important

 

Congrats on going through the Beta line, guys!

I've got a few issues to report:

- Sometimes the tooltip that describes why a certain emotion (happiness, etc.) is at a given level stays on after closing down the character window.
- I just started a quick game and I have build works that stay unassigned for several days on. I am unsure if what is the reason for them getting stuck - lack of materials or components maybe? I am attaching a saved game.
- I can't figure how to add jobs to a workshop queue. The help screen for the carpentry workshop shows two entries on the queue, but I can't find any UI control for enqueuing jobs.

 

Deleted production modules (in this case a stone kiln in the ceramics workshop) still appear in the production queue, and can still accept limited production assignments, even though they are not visibly present. Assigning them production will stall all production in the shop. They also still contribute to -Quality.

 

I'm not sure if this is what you were referring to with that rendering bug, but I was trying to figure out some mysterious work stoppages, and it appears as if there is still a discrepancy between reported items and actual items in this build. However as opposed to 50x, it appears the commodities menu is more or less accurate, and you cannot trust the items that you visually see.

In the attached save game, you'll notice my production in the carpenty shop has ground to a halt, and the bunkhouse in progress cannot get enough wood even though the area surrounding the colony is virtually littered with highlightable logs.

Once I assigned more trees to be cut down, production resumed, but it's clear I actually have far fewer logs than those I can count.

 

You guys sure do work hard. Impressive

 

deleting a building crahses the game, also for some reason my carpentry shop has stopped producing anything at all and I'm not sure why.

 

Yeah, I feel like a vacation is in order for the Gaslamp team. Or at least an "unusual" alcohol party.

 

I've already started on mine. Friend's bday part tonight weeeee.

Good stuff. Especially when you play the Korean drinking game called Titanic.

 

That is easily the best idea for a party I've ever heard.

For some reason I'm most fascinated by the artichoke apertif. Really compelled to try that.

 

Billy, see my reply in post #31 for a possible clue

 

Tell me about it. Since brickabrac happened the carpentry workshop has become a huge bottleneck. I can't even imagine trying to keep building quality up in a non wooded embark location. My colonists are deforesting so aggressively, I keep expecting a bunch of pissed off Ents to come charging out of the woods ( will probably be an actual feature at some point.)
