[1.0.4.6] Bugged Galaxy News Event

Not sure if it happened in previous versions, but I received a Crazed Cannibalism news message with an incomplete event description parse.
The message image and the game save file are attached.

RE: How to make money?

I'm guessing that the barfly Union Chief forced the worker salaries to be raised. That's why he always comes to some timely end in my games. I suppose you could always set your worker salaries to .001 and let their happiness crash, and then raise it up to the normal .005 to satisfy them.

RE: Hex control after conquest of a minor

<t> I'm not sure what determines whether you get a clean conquest or have to pursue to remaining armies. Is it just a die roll? Or are there some conditional rules that determine which outcome you get?<br/>
<br/>
I rarely get the clean conquest; maybe 1 or 2 times out of 10. I watch the various ...

RE: Economic observations and the scarcity of metal

<t> Here is my "gut feeling" when it comes to predicting the planets resource allocation:<br/>

- If it's a wet planet (ice counts) then you have an abundance of water (duh!)<br/>
- During the Colonization phase I look for lots of mining activity text, for an abundance of Metals.<br/>

RE: Typos, grammar and misc issues

I'm on 1.03-beta5.

I just got black mailed for 0 credits (I had 8838 credits at the time), and I happily paid double for the extra bump in employee adoration! I think this is should be a bug, as you really should not get something, or even double something, for nothing.

What kind of creature is a Blather?

<t> My worlds creature are blather analogues. Can anyone explain what a blather is? A jellyfish, a sea sponge? It doesn't appear as a creature of any kind when I google it, in Wikipedia, or in a dictionary. It's certainly not an American usage, maybe it's an English (GB) expression (kind of like the ...

RE: Civ GOTM

<t> When you decide to start this GOTM session, I suggest providing a screen capture of the planet generation summary page. Also, if there is life on this world a screen capture of the Biosphere Auxiliary page that shows the stats of the various plants and animals (particularly the "s", "o", and "d ...

RE: Civ GOTM

<t> The planet gen save DOES have the same starting location. In fact I believe that all the Regimes and units are already placed as well. I only reloaded the starting save once to see what would change and only my people seems to change (plus your empire name and starting profile groups as you pick ...

RE: Interesting planet generations (share yours)

My latest medium sized Cerberus had multiple large animal types. I think they are dinosaur type things as the largest is over 28m. I'm in the process of generating RPGs as the only weakness on these beasts is their hard defense as any infantry is useless against these things.

RE: Bottlenecks overlay explanation (with picture)

<t> That black (100%) is indicating that 100% of the truck points in that hex are being used to carry stuff (goods sent to SHQ, SHQ sending goods to the zones, SHQ sending goods to the units, and finally replacement troops). Those other colors just indicate how close you are to using up all your ...

RE: History

<t> Ah but look at that red readiness bar on the 4th Infantry unit and the the Militia unit on the far right has a yellow readiness bar. I suspect that the Combat Power of those units are diminished by their unreadiness states. So the History screen actually shows units Combat Power and not the ...

RE: I don't get "base design" any one does?

<t> Forget about line 2, that is just the Base Design of your Trooper I model. Instead look at line 26 of Trooper V; that is now your Base Design value for this model. As you improve your models over time these variables get updated later and later (row # wise), so just look at the last Base Design ...

RE: Default Leader sorting

<t> I would like to see secondary sorting as well. What I mean by this is doing an initial sort, say by Capability Class, and then a following subsort, say by Intelligence. This would give me a nice ordered list of people that might fit a certain role, in my example for the research type roles ...

RE: Early game leader management and secretaries

<t> I always go through my Leaders when I start a game. I do generally shift some people around. The Secretary is expensive (PP-wise) to let go. Also, a random non-assigned person will automatically take their place. So you must be careful in the order you allocate your people if you want to let the ...
