I can live with that rationale for the new branching rule. I do think there are some transaction costs involved in branching.

...the way I see it the fact that branches divide logistic points in half already signify that trucks cannot be in 2 places at once.
If the Logistics points did NOT decrease on a road splitting in two, then I see that trucks are in 2 places at once. So now I do not.
Yeah I agree. I mean if it is a small penalty that only applies near the edges of large complex networks I guess it doesn't really make much difference one way or the other but it still seems odd. [&:]

Hi,
Is there an ETA for stable 1.04, or should we consider the game with a "rolling release update pace", or something else ?
What’s the general rule for updates with Vic, if any ?
No hurry, just curious, as the beta are nice but also brings some aspects needing a new game, and i prefer to play one long more than several shorts.

Rationale for branching would be that there is only so many roads that can be served. Much like bus stops. A single truck cant be in 2 places at same time and a convoy would need to split up.
I think I massively overestimate how many trucks are part of a truck station. If it was something like 1 truck per 10 logistical points, then this problem wouldn't really happen. But if a truck station is only like 5 trucks or something like that, I could understand it.

Just posted beta-12.
I am almost ready to go to official v1.04
But want to make sure I am not introducing a new bug.
Could be any day now that I'll give green light to v1.04
best wishes,
Vic

Any plans beyond 1.04? Would you consider fixing complete with this version?

I am still working full time on fixing and finetuning and "small" improvements for some weeks I think. After I hope to switch time to adding a major feature which will take several months.

Have the initial three dialogue options that influence your starting profiles been removed or is their absence a bug?

Do you mean the ones at the end of planet generation which define your profiles?
Those are still a thing on beta 12 so you are probably facing a bug of some sort.

Exactly those. I generated 2 planets with "detailed planet generation" and in neither of them did I get the options. But now I generated another 3 planets and I got the options every time. Weird.
Something to note: I had done one planet before that with "Drop me in a game now!", where you don't get the options anyway. Can't seem to reproduce the bug again though.

For the last one:
You are demanding "Drop me in the game right now!" Not being slowed down by those options, sounds like part of the deal.
A decision is still made, just a random one. Like for everything else that just progresses without reroll.

It sounds like beta 12 (or maybe a not yet published beta 13) is the final of this line:
"But i hear you. I'll take a look for the next version (not v1.04, but v1.04-beta1, since v1.04 is already sent to publisher) "

Don't mind the "Drop me in the game right now!" option not giving those options. Never even used that one before today.
That's also why I suspect, it has something to do with the bug I encountered. As it's only the first time I was affected by it.
About the bug itself:
There seems to be even more going on than just the three options not showing up, even when I used "detailed planet generation".
As the bug actually seemed to have messed up the planet I generated too, at least it doesn't show the "Planet Details" under help either. Now the bugged planet is a Siwa Planet with over 10 Billion people, though the other bugged one was "unclassified".

Many, many restarts per testing using all the 'betas' & have never encountered this 'bug'.

I started a game last night with Beta 12, and once I hit turn four, my SHQ distribution to units slowed to a trickle for no apparent reason.

Definitively a strange one. Though luckily also not a high priority kind of bug.

Most likely you just have not yet grokked Logistics. It is going around on this Forum.

I'm looking forward to the new version! I'm curious -- what game engine and coding language is Vic using?
