They can't give us an update because they are under an NDA? Are you serious? Is this top secrete government work? This whole process has been a joke and anyone involved with this patch should be ashamed.Moltrey wrote: Wed Feb 25, 2026 4:43 pmIn a word Zebra, no.

Everyone here would like to have received the patch long ago, and so we wait for the free gift to make our lives better. You have asked multiple times for an update and keep getting the same answer everyone else gets. Be patient, and be kind to those who are giving you a free gift.

Major bug concerning mines
Type 93 mine Pool is stuck in certain quantity, since 444 turn, i am at 484 turn. Used from pool is constant since 310 turn.
Game production screen says 126 mines were produced this month, i am in 4th day of the month...for a 165 monthly rate, so exaggerating number of mines being produced are vanishing.
Same issue with type 4 mine. Pool stuck even longer from turn 327. Used from pool constant since turn 307, production 62 in 4th of the month from 67 rate, but also no increase in stocks so vanishing too.
Type 88 submarine mine and type 3 aerial mine are being produced at correct rate and stock increases correspond.
Edit: putting a minelayer in an escort mission retired its 50 type 93 mines from the ship and were correctly added to its pool.

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!
Im a little confused about the bugs I heard about. Is this patch playable? Im already many hours in setting up a first turn for the first time
Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!
I think when ACMs tend to their minefields they replace any mines that sank or floated away. Then they go back and reload the same amount of mines for next days work. I think these mines are drawn from the pool but you get no notification of it.Diliwitm wrote: Wed Mar 04, 2026 3:50 am Major bug concerning mines

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!
I'm not up with 28 so have the rules changed? In prior versions all you needed to maintain a minefield was an ACM in the port but you periodically had to refuel it. The ACM did not need to have any mines loaded to do so.BBfanboy wrote: Thu Apr 02, 2026 12:17 amI think when ACMs tend to their minefields they replace any mines that sank or floated away.

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!
It is probably bug, i decided to spent xxx of t93 and t4 mines in a defensive area and production restarted and started to be added to the pool in both mine typesBBfanboy wrote: Thu Apr 02, 2026 12:17 amI think when ACMs tend to their minefields they replace any mines that sank or floated away.

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!
I'm using 28 and have not noticed anything bad. In April of 42.

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!
Another one is the simultaneous supply+resource cargo transport bug.
Note how the supply is 246 and appears on TF screen but it has also 9340 resource as show below. The TF loaded resources only.
Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!
They are probably loading supplies into the passenger areas because they can't load resources there.Diliwitm wrote: Thu Apr 02, 2026 8:43 pm Another one is the simultaneous supply+resource cargo transport bug.Clipboard-supplymistke3.jpg
