mining locations limit in UI?

Post by slicksyster »

Is there a limit to the number of resource locations displayed in the scrollable Resources>Mining_Locations list?

It's scrollable, but when sorted by name, it only extends down to the P's. It's missing the Q-Zs. From the ship/base design guide, there appear to be 725 mining bases of various designs in use. that along with my empire's 72 colonies, should put the mining locations list at around 800 entries. I've not bothered to count them (I've got a galaxy to conquer afterall!) but wondering if this is a game or UI limit? Not sure how to proceed as I've only explored about a quarter of the 2000 star galaxy. Exceeding a hard limit this early doesn't bode well.

What's up with that? Why is there a limit at all? The list is scrollable afterall.
(BTW, would really like to see slightly more contrast on the scroll bar! It's near on invisible on the default UI)

I started this game on March 3rd with the Aurora update and Steam appeared to have updated it again on March 30th. Not sure how to see the game version in-game.... but I believe I'm playing with latest (March 30, 2023) update.

Hey thanks for the report. Could you please try the latest public beta version, which is 1.1.3.4? You can download the latest public beta from the beta branch if you have a Steam or GOG copy. If you are able to reproduce this issue on that version, please update this post with details and a save file that demonstrates the issue.

It's still a problem with beta 1.1.3.4
The list of mining locations only extends into the O's now as I've built a few more mining stations.

I emailed a save game that demonstrates this issue to you as the forum doesn't allow 30MB uploads.

load the game, type F7, and I you'll see the truncated list of mining locations.
