[1.1.2.4] - Numerours coding errors found for Resources, Components and Technologies

[OrnluWolfjarl]

While compiling my DW2 Cheat Sheet, I've encountered some coding errors for Resources, Components and Technologies:

PROBLEMS WITH RESOURCES:

Falajian Spice spawns nowhere (normally Marshy Swamp)

The Planets page of the Galactopedia lists the correct resources, availability and spawn rates for each planet type. But the Resources page contains these errors in Resource Descriptions:

Osalia does not spawn at Continental

Polymer does not spawn at Marshy Swamp

Megallos Nut not mentioned at Marshy Swamp

Loros Fruit not mentioned at Mangrove Forest

Ekarus Meat not mentioned at Mangrove Forest

Ilosian Jade not mentioned at Mangrove Forest

Questurian Skin not mentioned at Deep Ocean

Korrabian Spice does not spawn at Desert Savanna

Dantha Fur does not spawn at Desert Savanna

Silicon does not spawn at Desert Savanna

Korrabian Spice does not spawn at Rocky Desert

Silicon does not spawn at Rocky Desert

Emeros Crystal not mentioned at Sulfur Volcanic

Tyderios does not spawn at Frozen Gas

Intimidator Surge Blast (L) - Interception damage drops to 30/15 at 2nd iteration

Atomic Devastator (L) - Interception stats filled in but, Int damage is 0 at 1st iteration => Wasted as Interception? + Why have Countermeasure bonus?

Bulwark Missile Battery (PD) - Projectile Speed drops to 475 from 550 at 2nd iteration

Impact Assault Blaster (S) - Energy increases (18 to 20) and Fall Off Ratio increases (25% to 30%) at 2nd and 3rd iteration

All Bombard Weapons have the above issue

Electromagnetic Lance (L) - has Ion Interception Damage Ratio at 50% without Interception

Annihilator Shock Mines (L) - Countermeasure Bonus drops from 53% to 52% at 2nd iteration, then goes to 54% at 3rd iteration + Stops intercepting Direct Fire (8/12/0) and Interception Fire Rate becomes worse (21.25 to 25) and Fire Rate becomes worse (17 to 20) at 3rd iteration

Resonant Graviton Beam (L) - Interception vs Seeking becomes worse (16 to 12) at 2nd iteration

Graviton Beam (M) - has no Resource Cost

Impact Assault Blaster (M) - Gets faster Fire Rate (5.5 to 4.5) and Interception Fire Rate (3.44 to 2.81) at v2, but degrades back to original Fire Rates (5.5 and 3.44) at v3.

Lance Missile (M) - Intercept Damage vs Seeking drops (8 to 6) at v2
Firestorm Torpedo (S) - Projectile Speed drops from 300 to 275 at v2, then increases to 400 at v3 + Countermeasures Bonus jumps from 52%/56% to 64% at v3 (inconsistent with other weapons, should have been 58%)

Firestorm Torpedo (M) - Same exact stats as Firestorm Torpedo (S), except with more Volley and faster Interception Fire Rate + No problem with projectile speed at v2 (still raises Countermeasures Bonus to 64% at v3).

Star Beam (M) - Exactly the same stats as Star Beam (S), but more Volley
Plasma Blaster (M) - Exactly the same stats as Plasma Blaster (S), but more Volley and Interception Fire Rate + no Interception Damage increase at v2 (stays at 11, should have been 17 like Plasma Blaster (S)

Shockwave Torpedo (L) - Weapon Range gets worse at v3 (3740 to 4350 to 4000)
Hail Cannon (S) - Damage decreases from 34 to 26 at v2 (but Fire Rate double so DPS is still better, even with bypass) + Shield bypass increases from 40% to 50% at v2 (inconsistent with other weapons that keep it the same) + Bombardment decreases to half at v2 (from 2/2/4/4 to 1/1/2/2, but with double Fire Rate it stays the same overall)

Resonant Graviton Beam (M) - Interception vs Direct Fire is 0 at v1, but at v2 and v3 is equal to Interception vs Seeking (0/16/25 vs Direct Fire but 10/16/25 vs Seeking) + Volley Shots = 1 but Volley Rate of Shots = 0.25 (should be 0 probably)

Novacore Reactor (Ftr) - Uses Tyderios as Fuel (ID = 6) at v4

Crystalline Beam (All types) - Has Interception stats without having Interception capability

Crystalline Beam (Neutron) & Crystalline Beam (Black Hole) - Has 75% Armor Bypass and 30% Shield Bypass (Other Crystalline Beams have 0%)

Space Slug Gravion Pulse - Has Interception stats without having Interception capability + Damage Type should probably be Area Effect (has Area Effect damage)

Reinforcing Swarm Battery (S, M, L) - all versions have the exact same stats but different Volley and Interception Fire Rate (+ L has larger range)

Titan Blaster (M) - Bombardment at v1 should probably be 4/4/4/4 (instead of 4/4/2/2) to follow the pattern of other versions (5/5/5/5 and 6/6/6/6)

Dealbreaker Beam (S) - Intercept vs Seeking jumps from 8 to 45 at v2, while Intercept vs Direct Fire increases only from 8 to 22 (vs Seeking should probably either be 17 at v1 or 22 at v2)

Resonant Graviton Beam (L) - No Energy Usage per Shot increase like other Sizes at v3 (goes from 130 at v1 to 156 at v2 and stays 156 at v3)

Phaser Lance (M) - Has Interception stats without having Interception capability

Particle Beam (Ftr) - No Interception Targeting Bonus like other Ftr weapons

Shatterforce Beam (Ftr) - No Interception Targeting Bonus like other Ftr weapons + Interception vs Seeking jumps from 5 to 10 at v2, while Interception vs Fighter increases from 8 to 10 at v2 (probably Interception vs Seeking at v2 should be less or at v1 should be 8)

Devastator Pulse (X) - Volley Shots = 1 but Volley Rate of Shots = 1 (should be 0 probably)

Fusion Beam (S) - Countermeasures Bonus increases 76/78/82, unlike other sizes which increase by +4% each new version (increases by only +2% between v1 and v2, should probably be 74/78/82)

Wow, thank you for that great work. Maybe they are placeholders?

I hope they will soon be implemented if there are no other reasons.

So much things that did not find their way into the game.

[OrnluWolfjarl]

You are welcome. Some of them seem like placeholders, but there's a bunch of things that feel like straight up errors (like Fallajian Spice not spawning anywhere or Humans getting a 0% probability in researching one of their specific techs)

[MaximKI]

Thanks for the detailed report!

[OrnluWolfjarl]

Thanks for the detailed report!

No problem. I have found a few other errors in other files, but I will be reporting them once I'm done with a few more, if that's alright.

Sounds good to me.

Falajian Spice not spawned at 300 systems and not 500 systems.

Falajian Spice not spawned at 300 systems and not 500 systems.

No planet has the code to get a chance to spawn it. It won't spawn anywhere on any galaxy size.
