Just started up a new game and off the bat it suggested I build an Energy Station at my home planet. I'm a bit confused since I've never seen this pop up in all my times playing. There is no energy benefit I can see. Is this some sort of bug?

<t> I have been issuing patrol fleets on places I deem too valuable to leave alone. It still doesn't make up for the fact that there is something broken in the game. <br/>

By the way, when you said "I believe this problem is being worked on", are you speculating or saying that based on ...

<t> Protecting my new colonies isn't really the issue here. It's more of protecting things around it, like my mining stations and what not. The point is to set the defensive range to where it will cover valuable stations in case of an attack. I COULD build weapons on each mining/resort station, and ...

<t> I'm having the same issue too. I tried a few games and I always start off by making a defense fleet to protect my home planet with the range to sector, but they never attack any attacking ship/creature within the defense range. I figured I might as well keep playing and kept setting up other ...

<t> Did you try just playing just the base game? I would currently go through support and open a ticket, if you haven't already. They are pretty good at getting back to you quickly. I would maybe ask them to send you download links to the game just to make sure you have the right ones. Open a ticket ...

Is it just the base game you're having trouble with or the Shadows expansion?

Nvm, figured out the resort base was bigger than my construction size allowed. Strange I don't remember them being that big off the bat and have to go 3 techs deep to get it

<t> I'm having the same problem sort of. It won't let me construct a resort base on a black hole. It just says CANNOT BUILD. Its really close to my home system and I have the money for it, but I don't understand why I can't build a resort base there. I checked the construction menu to see if I am ...

<t> I am also having trouble with Defensive posture. I set the posture to defense, set the range and home planet, but when a pirate attacks in the range of my defense area, my fleet does nothing but sit there. I tried to un-automate and automate but they still sit there. This is really annoying ...

<t> Yes it is in the Code Force Unlimited subfolder. When I opened the folder there was a Distant Worlds subfolder, I opened that and it listed another folder with the name being the version of the game, like 1.0.7.1 for example. I opened that folder and there was a DW_crashdump.txt file there ...

<t> Ok I got it to work finally. I went to Appdata/Roaming/Code Force Unlimited, and there was a folder with a crashdump.txt folder. I checked the crashdump and the first line said, "Font 'Verdana' does not support style 'Regular'. I did some research and it seems I was missing the 'Regular' font of ...

<t> I'm currently going back and forth with Matrix to resolve the issue, but so far nothing is working. I can't even run the base game. I did a clean uninstall/install, made sure drivers were updated, made sure firewall was not blocking it, started as admin, but still nothing. As mentioned above, I ...

<t> Same thing here. I uninstalled the game, but I'm having trouble trying to reinstall it. I'm not quite sure what files I need to Dl, and in what order. I tried the base DW game, i clicked Downloads and downloaded the last update file but it was only about 30mb or so. I can't seem to find the full ...

<t> I wanna make sure I understand how the whole research thing works<br/>
<br/>
Research Capacity: is the research of all spaceports/research bases combined?<br/>
<br/>
Actual Output: is the the amount of research being produced for that field with all bonuses <br/>

Total Empire ...

<t> Got the beta patch 1.7.7, and noticed that on occasion a fleet or a ship, that was on automation, would get stuck and not do anything. I had a fleet set to defend a certain area, and when ships invaded they would not move at all. I deselected automation and put it back on and they moved as ...

The empire policy does not only steer your behavior, it is an AI routine in general. You can manage your AI in automation with the help of it or tweak your enemies a notch... in a mod for example. Therefore these settings of course influnce ...

So what consists of 'Restricted Resources'?&nbsp; You're telling me the empire setting will allow you to prioritize what resources to get first by your construction ships?&nbsp; You are also telling me it affects what items we trade?&nbsp; I'm kinda lost still.

Yeah I'm not sure what it does. I'd like to know how to trade valuable resources to other races. But you could be right, I never thought of that option either

<t> I keep getting negative feedback from other races because they said I refuse to trade valuable resources to them. I think the 'Control Restricted Resources Priority' option is the thing to fix it, but not sure. Do i set the priority 'low' to trade almost anything to any races, and keep 'high' to ...

I see this if I use attack only near targets. SOme of the fleet seems to act like it is too far from the targets so they never move. If I set the fleet to system/defend. They seem to do a better job but dont always return to the orbit of the ...
