2018-10-08 Server Lock, Broker Ship Category, Targoss Rewrite
#1
Server Deadlock
There were a few server lock ups in the past few days.

Each time, the problem was traced to a deadlock that happened when a guard tower targeted an enemy unit. The deadlock was fixed.

Broker Ship Category
It would be much easier to set up a broker to keep a colony alive if they could ship categories of commodities, e.g. Food.

Broker shipments can now be specified by category.

Targoss Rewrite
The Targoss tutorial is so useless it's a joke.

Wrote new Welcome New Avatar tutorial to actually show a new player how to play the game. It teaches how to do these things.
  1. Forage and hand craft things.
  2. Communicate and trade with indigenous people.
  3. Construct buildings and manufacture things.
  4. Form a government and establish cities.
  5. Claim worlds and steal claims.
  6. Conquer and defend worlds and cities.
  7. Begin spacecraft production.
Building Event Log
Building event logs are not reset between reports. They tend to accumulate a lot of stuff over time.

Building event logs are now reset at the conclusion of each city report cycle.

Tech in Combo Boxes
Tech objects still appear in some combo boxes. This is obnoxious because there are so many of them and they are obsolete.

Removed tech objects from these places. Let me know if you see them anywhere else they shouldn't be.
  • Governance commerce restrictions page.
  • Mission order window.
  • Make item window in primeval world.
Indigenous Won't Talk
Indigenous people won't talk to me any more. They just say they have nothing to say.

Fixed an error introduced when they were made to stop repeating themselves.

This sounds very interesting!
I wouldn't say he was useless, but some parts of Targoss's tutorial was a little unnecessary. And a lot of information, such as foraging and handcrafting was missing. Not to mention the lack of any city building tutorial.

I'll see about doing a little analysis of it like I did the old one when I am off vacation.
If you want to see my old analysis, it is here: (Old thread) NPE 2015 (wayback)
