Game Save
Game saves were not working on Windows.

Fixed.

Build Limits
Someone asked that size limits on spacecraft and buildings be eliminated.

Eliminated size limits on buildings and spacecraft. Specifically this refers to byte size limits, the amount of memory the thing takes. Physical dimension limits were not changed. 

You still get a warning when the size limit is exceeded but it never turns into an error.

Beware that you can now build models that are too complex for your computer or perhaps someone else's computer. While your computer may be able to handle a single instance of your gigantic ship or building model, it could bog down quite quickly if you create many of them.

Random Flag Generator
This has been on my list forever. When testing I usually don't care too bad. AI controlled emperors need this.

Flag chooser created that allows flags to be loaded from a file or generated randomly.

Mission Order Icons
Mission order window uses a generic sun icon to represent a black hole.

Changed mission orders to use an icon based on body type for suns and worlds. Also updated city lists to show bases with a different icon.

Quarry Shows Non-Stone
It is confusing to have the quarry show non-stone resources when it can't mine them.

Fixed.

Cantinas have way too much HP. While Brood Defenders appear to have a similar or more HP, they can be destroyed by RNG in a few shots or after a minute or three of blasting away. The pirate cantinas however do not have this feature. Crew, even with berserk activated, and an officer at the con will not attack the cantina.

Image below is from over an hour and a half of blasting, I coded a toggle autoclicker and returned home to see that it had only made a dent.

Also an old one, but still present.

The Character Profile Save for an Alien race ist hard to load.

While the selection dialogue does filter for .chr files, it doesn't show any. The name of the last saved file is usually still in the selection, so that can be loaded. 

But if you type that exact name in there, the file can not be loaded.

I had a System crash the other day, when I started Hazeron up today I got messages about damage and awoke in my starter city. The Spaceship was apparently destroyed as well. No mails.

After trying to restore it at the Airport Repair shop, the Message came up that the ship is beeing restored and will hail in the crew channel.
After more than twice the time it takes to build the ship no messages came, no ship spawned in orbit.

Tried this twice.

Also the officer from that ship didn't respawn.

I'd report more, but then I made the mistake of trying to load the game from a save....

So sometimes Hazeron causes a hard System crash for  me . The monitors will display a random color screen , the gpu will be in overdrive and only the power button helps.

I suspect it has to do with geometry issues. Happens a lot with tiny planets, Gas Giant cores , but also at other times.

With the number of new/returning players, we are again seeing a lot of players experiencing the horrors of citizens not working during the night. This might be even worse if the world is so dark or has extra long nights that citizens never get to work.

I suggested this back on the old forum, but that forum is dead and gone now, so here we go again.

It would be useful if citizens could work at night when your city has Torches, Candles, and/or Lanterns. It would allow players to build up to a more stable first city faster, and it would give another use to some commodities that are barely used right now.

Very small issue, but black holes use the icon for regular stars in the New Mission window:

I know it's now considered as a common bug to leave / enter in a planet gravity and finish like this:



I don't know if someone already saw it, but each time it happened to me, I got tp away with a fixed distance; actually a well known number:




Haxus, maybe it is due to an unsigned -> signed int cast ?
Anyway, negative distances aren't a thing. It should be checked and if a negative distance is detected, then you can add traces to show where the problem is.

The Quarry blueprint (and others with no workshops) are confusing players.


I suggest changing it so that the mouseover literally say this.
Something like showing: "Blueprint has no workshops. Can only mine stone." when placing it at a location that has resources that aren't stone.

Alternatively, make the Quarry a literal separate building type.
And add another default Mine blueprint so people aren't as confused.

Is it possible Haxus to not physically render the ship entering and transitioning star systems as ships warp at higher speeds? 

I ask this because still as I travel across the game I get constant crash to desktops when warping for 6 hours and this got me thinking.

Would it be easier and less resource intensive to just place the ship in a temporary empty system, have it be stationary but play the warp effect to make it seem like your moving while running down the ETA counter to simulate travel? Have the galactic positioning still update as you travel for obvious reasons, allowing to drop out of warp still appropriately. When the ETA counter runs down then just teleport the ship to the transition point? If you drop out of warp early just teleport to the galactic coordinates?

This might even allow for more exotic forms of travel in the future and allow for scalability in the future of travel speeds.
