Per subject. On starting a new game, I'm getting a warning that this file is missing. I can continue. I'm playing a stock installation w/o mods or any manual messing about with the game. I looked in the asset directory and it is, indeed, not there.

I'v been starting at lvl3 tech for all my games up until my last one, and I have to say the lvl4 start is so luxurious compared to lvl3 I enjoy starting at zero with a lvl3 start, but the 2 things that make it a pain is: [...] - massive investment to create a decent amount of IP production, which t...

It was apparently high-altitude glacial terrain with an atmosphere that was compressed really close to the planet's surface, but it was also a bit exaggerated compared to what it was supposed to be. The result was terrain that should probably have been hard to move on or off of (and dangerous to sta...

I'm currently getting the same issue with air recon over normal oceans. Save available. See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bou...

I have a bit of an odd planet that doesn't immediately strike me as being something that should be able to occur (although it does make for an interesting game). Colossus class world, 200m years old. 5g and 4778 mbar of atmosphere H2/He/N2 in equal parts. So it's definitely a weird planet... but is ...

The thing is, you can make your own Fate Points with Mission Impossible stratagems. What you can't make are the Fate cards to spend them on. And savegame editing won't help with that. (I mean, technically I suppose it probably could, but that's getting messy, and also the lack of randomness means it...

I'm going to bump this with the latest patch adding more Fate cards. In SP in particular, it's really disappointing to have to make a decision whether to have access to a significant number of Fate cards vs. having truly strong xeno critters on the planet, as they often represent a more serious hurd...

It happens whenever a resource collection asset runs out. I've had zones with up to 3 empty private fuel assets employing people to sit on their hands. They don't relate to demands at all, and will persist indefinitely until and unless you disband them.

This is possibly WAD, but if it is, it's messy and really not desirable. Private resource assets will deplete their deposits, and then continue on with full employment despite there being no work getting done. If you want to get that population back to productive work, you'll need to disband the ass...

Per subject, in my current game I got a "remove voting rights from most leaders" decision on turn 37. I rejected it, and had two leaders lose almost 90 loyalty between them. And then next turn I got the exact same decision. It really seems like there should be some cooldown on how frequent...

No, difficulty absolutely affects generation. It doesn't impact size - that's based on what you mentioned - but it impacts the stats and feats assigned to wildlife, and those play a larger role in making critters awful than simple size. I'd rather fight a small handful of your average 60m critter th...

A feature I'd like to see added would be to decouple critter nastiness from overall game difficulty. After some of the patches of the last year improved AI regime tactics and made higher difficulties reduce the amount of Fate Points awarded, I've found myself less inclined to play on max difficulty ...

On my first time using the organic furnace: The notes say level 2 can use forests 2 hexes out, I had a savanna left and a forest on a mountain left within one tile. There are forests two tiles out. On the very turn the furnace would have completed the upgrade, the savanna was used up and the furnac...

This is a small nitpick, but the asset build description (and its mouseover) for Solar Panel Field says "Pay attention that Energy output depends on solar irridiance." - that should probably now also mention hex rain levels too.

Given that we now have increased lethality in hostile environments, it would be nice if we had the option on various troops to add some optional failsafe/redundant/supplementary environmental protections in hostile environments. Basically, a way to add some mitigation to the environmental kill check...

I don't have time to test or play right now (and unfortunately won't any time soon), but I absolutely love the moves to make wildly different planet environments play differently. And since no one else has said it, the moves to make Solar Panels require strategic placement and not being generic buil...

Looks nice and very cohesive!

I'd agree with this point. HI is a lot more affordable than workshopping - not least b/c it doesn't eat Industrial Points - and in addition to mothballing, you can scale down production to make energy consumption more reasonable until you can better afford it. OTOH, it does seem a bit odd for you to...

If you ask me this tech took too much importance in itself, I think metal extraction should be spread somehow more evenly between several metal extraction methods. We have multiple ways of getting oil, but only 2 ways of getting metal. One thing that would make a certain amount of sense to have see...

Just to underscore what this means, it's not just when you've discovered a new model type and no models have been designed for it. The initial model designs you get at game startup don't count as designed models for the blueprint feature. You yourself have to design a model before it's treated as su...
