Remember when building processes were able to be sped up with the appropriate types of tools or electricity? This seems to have been phased out for most buildings with the New-Style designer (apart from a select few which do have it), resulting in horrendously slow building speeds (4 labor/sec) which is a major pain in the ass for buildings which require an upward of tens of thousands of labor to complete.

Is this feature going to be reimplemented anytime soon? It's kind of tiring waiting for buildings to complete (my 15 line hydroelectric power plant took 3 hours), while my pc is heavily locked down due to how much Hazeron takes from it, and you have no pops to help since its a newly created colony.

Despite the "Domain assigned to City Founders" being set to "City's World Assigned to Founder", I wasn't assigned governmental roles for either colony I had founded (I had manually placed down the capitol, yet was denied while trying to demolish it), much less the planet itself.

Empire: Dominion
Planet: New Avalon
City: New Avalon Mining Colony Alpha

I built a second city in another zone in a different zone.  For some reason it is not associating the power planet with the city.  I tried removing the Nuclear plant and placing it again but it does not associate still.

City: New Avalon


With the New Style Airport Model that has one elevated landing pad, the ship just seems to hover a little off the pad and keep engines at full power.  I attempted to have the ship rig for repairs however the ship was not able to touch down and moor for repairs.

City: New Avalon
Base: Fort Artorius

New bases seem to require morale buildings that are not currently possible.

so i cant properly build things without half of them turning neutral. what the fuck is happening?

system: drakon
sector: drako's light
galaxy: shores of hazeron

Delete Blueprint
I deleted a building blueprint from the on line library. It said it was deleted. Then it came back.

Fixed.

Delete Blueprint Window Closes
When I delete a blueprint from the on line library, the window closes. This is annoying when I want to delete more than one blueprint.

Fixed.

Gun Tower and Weapon System Ammo Storage
Gun tower and weapon system should require storage for their own ammunition.

Fixed. Existing blueprints will continue to be valid without storage but they will have nowhere to store ammunition (or lenses, as appropriate). They may not work efficiently.

Who Imports Tech?
What building imports tech disks?

Mass media building now imports tech disks. They also import blank paper and blank disks so they can publish tech about their local industries.

Harvester Modules in Buildings
When making a military weapon system, I was offered a selection of harvester modules and a tractor beam.

Fixed.

Patent Already Recorded Q
When a process reports that a patent is already recorded, the Q would be nice to know.

Fixed. Q is reported of the patent that could not be stored.

Storage Crystal Error
Storage crystal reported it was full when it had lots of free space, after I tried copying a blueprint to it that was already on the crystal.

Fixed failure message when the cause is an existing duplicate design.

Building Blueprint Intended Purpose
Buildings could be filtered better if the intended purpose of each blueprint was known.

Building blueprints now store their intended purpose.

• Intended purpose is configured on the properties window, using the combo box that used to show if the design was valid for a particular industry and why not on failure. The setting in that combo box is now saved with the blueprint.
  
• The blueprint must be valid for the intended purpose to pass finalizing.
  
• There is a 'Not Specific' option.
  
• Intended purpose is used only for filtering. It does not limit what industries can use the blueprint.
  

I have a planet is my home system with the best planting for quite a few plants. The planet is also below the 85% atmosphere density, I can only build one farm building the Armored Farm. It only provides options to do silage. I got water and silage imported and got a power plant online for power, still didn't provide any new options. Was mentioned to get DNA Kits, they didn't seem to work on plants so I grabbed seeds. Went back to the plant and tried to use and drop the seeds with no luck or change in options. Is this intentional, am I missing something, or is this a bug?

At present, patents that are known to an empire are shared across both sides of the discontinuity. This seems to break the separation otherwise imposed by the discontinuity.

It would be relatively easy to split patent knowledge between the parts of an empire that exist on each side of the discontinuity.

Before doing that, I wanted to hear some opinions. Is this a problem at all?

add some blinking effects to stars. this way it looks way more alive.
