It's really annoying to have to completely delete and replace the station just to change the module for them. For the swivel chairs it's not too awful, but if you have an integrated one having to redraw the screen, replace the spot, etc gets tedious. It would be nice if you could select the station and then go to Properties > Station or something and reselect the module for it. This would make changing designs way faster.

Yes I know you can 'retrofit' existing ships, this is more for modifying existing designs to be a mk2 or such so it comes off the factory with the changes instead of needing to retrofit everything. Or if you copy/paste your fancy station into other designs.

Hi

I the avatar page, all French Empire member show with the wrong flag. Some other player not form hour empire are showing with hour flag. In game hour flag is appear properly on flag, building and space ship.

The saga resumes. Some of these things were already reported in another thread.

Brand Logos
Brand names and logos were removed from all item models.

Officer Scuttle
Officer no longer scuttles their ship when homesick.

Small Title Bars
Window title bars are larger.

Chat Broken in Designer
Chat now works while you are in the designer.

Slow Warehouses and Storage Tanks
Warehouses and storage tanks used to import up to 100 units per import cycle. Now they will import up to 1000 units per import cycle.

NPCs Use Intergalactic Wormholes
NPCs can now be ordered to fly through intergalactic wormholes. They might even succeed.

NPCs cannot be ordered to fly through stargates yet. It's on my list.

Plant Density Reduced
The number of trees and shrubs created due to plant density values was reduced.

Sun Inside Black Hole
A core solar system was observed with a sun inside the radius of the black hole. This led to a bug that has caused a similar error, where a binary star orbits inside the primary.

Pilot Dives Ship into Black Hole
Fixed a bug that caused a pilot to try flying through the black hole when ordered to fly through a wormhole on the other side.

Suns Rendered as 3D Objects
Suns are no longer strictly rendered as sprites.

Sun Surface Temperature
I also delved into the surface kelvin temperature to produce a much greater distribution of sun light colors, instead of using the same RGB for every sun type, which was only 7 different colors. Now the color is calculated from the kelvin temperature, which is determined from the type and spectral decimal classification. The result is a broader more subtle differentiation of thousands of sun colors and the light emitted by them.

Gold
Gold ore now exists in the environment; it can be mined and smelted into gold. Gold is used to make cronodollars. Cronos are no longer manufactured using any other metals.

Gold Jewelry
Jewelry processes now require gold where they used to require metal. Gold could also find its way into other manufacturing processes.

Citizens Save Their Money
Citizens now withdraw some amount of money from the banking system and store it outside the banking system. The amount is determined by their morale, with lower morale causing them to squirrel away more money. This money is lost to the banking system forever.

Decay
Nothing about decay requires anybody to log in. Officers no longer get lonely if nobody hails them. Land rule prevents decay of cities in solar systems that are declared to be someone's land, as long as that someone's account is active.

Neutral Zone Eliminated
Twenty galaxies are accessible to all players, per the current Universe map in the wiki at https://hazeron.com/wiki/index.php/Universe.

Noncombatant State of Empires
When an empire has no players on line, it falls into a noncombatant state. A noncombatant empire cannot be attacked and its units will not attack anyone else.

Harvesters, trade operations, and manufacturing continue to function. Units and cities will interact with players who are on line as usual.

Diplomacy tab of the Governance window shows this status by color coding the empire name. A tooltip on the name explains the meaning of the color.

(01-14-2022, 04:38 PM)Haxus Wrote: Keeping it simple, the formula for noncombatant empires that I favor is beginning to look like this.

Empire becomes noncombatant 15min after the last avatar in the empire logs off. It is complicated to check all avatars on the same account and a player could easily sidestep this by using multiple accounts.

Units within orbital range of worlds with an empire military base are immune to attack; they will defend that area but they will not pursue enemies outside the area. Thus they become invincible defenders but their range is limited; otherwise someone will put a big invincible station somewhere bad, like near an intergalactic wormhole. The presence of a military base insures that no other empires have cities on the world, to prevent an invincible defense using an alt empire.

All other units continue to attack and defend as normal without immunity.

Harvesters continue to operate. Officers and crew execute their missions. Manufacturing processes grind away.

Every time I play around and log out, everything rolls back to the same state as the moment I logged in. Happened 3 times in a row. Could it be related to the fact that my system has asteroid belt?

I have a colony where citizens are spawning then immediately dying. It's airless, but I have air supply, power, food, and EVA suits/helmets. Confirmed in city status that all are in stock, and no penalties to morale for missing them. Can provide info as to specific colony as needed, but I've seen a few others posting similar things.

The game is back on line again.

There was considerable resistance today. I wasn't sure if things were going to come together. Suddenly, everything was working.

I'll spend some time tomorrow looking at other build platforms, as suggested in the server updates thread.

I'll also get busy putting back the account stuff on the web page, so you can control your account and password. For now you must remember your old login name and password if you want to play.

One thing that has not been restored is the empire standings report and avatar pages. Part of me says this is too much information to give away. Any opinions?

Using latest build. Headers are very smol.


Operating system is Windows 7. 
Game is using the latest build from time of posting. 
Headers appeared fine before the update (one of the last multiplayer builds).


Using previous multiplayer build. Header size is correct.


One other person using Windows 11 said they had it too, but provided no screenshots.

I've been following Haxus's Tutorial on Turbo Lifts (several times now) and for some reason I can't seem to get it to work.

- Lift created according to tut.
- Stop created.
- Door cut between lift and Bridge
- Paths created/associated to door
- New stop created (Cargo Bay) ..Header confirms I am at new location
- Lift aligned to Cargo Bay
- Door cut
- Paths created/associated to door

At this point I rt click on the turbo lift icon, it confirms I have 2 stops (Bridge, Cargo Bay) and I am at the cargo bay. 
- I click on bridge and nothing happens. 
- I refresh and header confirms I am at the bridge but lift car is still at cargo bay
- I'm using off line designer that came with U6 with a working preview .. Preview starts me on the bridge. I can open the lift door but there is no car behind it.

I have literally deleted everything and redone the tutorial 4 times. I cannot get that car to move.

I'm out of ideas, any help is appreciated.

downloads work fine, you can still get stuff from it. Just can't upload anything new atm.
