Game editor - event to add new resource to planet

Post by Osito »

There is a bug in the event to add a new resource to a planet. The bug does not happen every time, but sometimes the resource does not get added. Furthermore, if the bug does happen, then an automated explorer will spend the whole game trying unsuccessfully to explore the planet which was supposed to generate the resource.

Haven't seen this before Osito. Could you upload a savegame showing this?
Also, were you trying to add more than 8 resources to the planet? What was the resource?
Shields are useless in "The Briar Patch"...

It was adding aculon to a planet with steel and silicon. Unfortunately a save game won't help, as it doesn't reproducibly happen. All I know is that I have sometimes had this happen while testing my galactic star map, but I could never put my finger on anything that was triggering it or reproducing it.

I guess if others haven't seen it, it may not be that common, but then I'm not sure how much use people are making of the 'event' part of the game editor, because most of the modding seems to be on the .txt files.

It happens when a player tries to edit the resources of the planet with the type of ruins that can't be added with the built-in editor (like ancient guardians planet with ruins that add +50% bonus to the empire income, the ruins with research bonus, etc). The game throws an exception in a loop.. Nothing can be done at this point. The only thing that the player can do is to restart the game and load the saved game.
