Re: Game crashed during turn processing and when clicking on Management tab from Map tab

-Are you on a regular win10/11 operating system?
-Do you have multiple monitors?
-Did you try upgrading to the open beta version?
-Do you have [ ] general > screenshots turned on in Prefs ...

Re: Perpetuum mobile involving power plant & fuel synthesis

It does seem indeed that fuel production for Synthetic Fuel is a bit on the high side. I am halving it. Good point!

Re: (1.32.264) Game crashes on startup

Sorry for slow response. Issue appeared just before my rather long summer holiday. It is most probable it is anti-virus software interfering. Like Windows Defender. Try switching it off as a test or exempting the directory where the saves files are.

best wishes,

Re: [1.32b] "Engine Design" for Air models

I agree. The reason I took it out was that it could cause a viable aircrat to shift to unviable due to random-based engine design stat. Which was just a tad to annoying and confusing in an already confusing system.

So its good i took it out for now to be actually transparent about the current ...

It applies to the left side final column. So give it some time and you'll see it will rise farther then education score eventually.

Re: [1.32b] "Engine Design" for Air models

thx!

First I wanted to argue that it shoul modified engine power. But then I realized there was a reason to remove the randomness as it made it very frustrating to have models that wouldnt fly.

So yes your advice is right.

Vic
