Hi!

I love the game, keep it up! And the bugs I've encountered during my last game :
1. Repeated terraforming improvements only work on population growth, but not on quality, that's still limited to 20% for most races ( and I didn't test improvement rate )
2. (and this is the big one for me) Something fishy going on with late game research. If I run the game on normal speed, research completely stops, even though everything else seems to work fine. There are ways to go around this, but they limit the user experience If I wait the amount of days the current research would take ( or sometimes 1-2 days more ), and then I pause the game for a minute or two, it's usually catching up. Or if I save the game. But it's only finishing the last item in the que this way, even if I waited a month for something that should've taken a day, and there are 10 more 1 day long projects are waiting in line.. This can be improved with slowing down the game to 1/2 or 1/4 speed, but even then I need to pause/save pretty often. And at this point my savegames are over 250mb..
3. I don't know if this is still a thing, but inside a nebula if I want to build more than 1 defense base, I have to wait for the 1st one to finish, and then start the 2nd one, otherwise the 2nd/3rd/etc gets blown into pieces.

edit 1 : everything is on manual, but every state ship I build is on autopilot when they roll out
edit 2 : is it just me, or troop bonuses from generals/locations/events really don't work? stuff like recruited infantry strength, etc...

Thanks for the report. Do you have any screenshots and saves you could share showing these issues? Saves you can find in this location: \Distant Worlds 2\data\SavedGames

I will, thx. I believe the research issue was already mentioned here : https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... s#p5112465

2 more things bugging me :
1. Reordering items in research que should work in hold left click on item and drag it up or down style, instead of clicking the up and down arrow. This could save 10-60 clicks sometimes, and comes up often... kind of a minigame right now, and not a fun one

2. Building/upgrading planetary defense and other buildings should be possible on multiple planets at once. The savegame I'll upload will have about 200 colonies, if I want to do that now, I have to go through each of them one by one. I think it would be better if we could select more than 1 planet, and give the order to build/upgrade this and that.
