A demiavatar doesn't seem to take the con when they go into their offline state. Only way to check this is by giving the demiavatar an officer berth and using another avatar as the captain's berth.
It is also a little confusing on rather or not they are supposed to be able to work as officers while they occupy a captain's berth.

Suggestion: Add a checkbox option to the Bio window's Biology tab indicating rather the demiavatar should automatically take the con on their stationed ship when entering their offline state.

The inverted ship is back has been for about a month or so. Wanted to test and confirm before reporting.

The mating animation is horrible and ridiculous.

I suggested Hazeron to a group of people that had never hear, they immediately saw the "ages 17+" tag and read the "sex" warning. They dismissed the game after that, since their computer is in the living room where their whole family is.

Basic solution is to just remove the mating pose and animation. Instead have a more cartoony version of it, fade the screen to black of the avatars involved and then have the "bonk" message of success after stamina drain or whatever. Onlookers wouldn't need to even know that it happened at all, or they can just see a small heart sprite above the creatures similar to what you see in Minecraft when breeding animals.

There is nothing wrong with procreation apart from that. Though it is nice to keep procreation mostly PG-13, even if you want the game to be for an somewhat mature audience.

If this was done, the worst offender of "ages 17+" tag could be removed and make the game a lot more acceptable.

The update for reference: (Update thread) 2019-10-31 Animal Poses

It is not clear what resource zone is what on the core of a gas giant. Resource Zone number is missing on the World Map.



PS: Also that gas giant had unlisted Ice.

Exchange Cache

The building and spacecraft blueprint exchanges download a large and growing blob of data every time a client logs in. That data is now cached on the client.

Universe Change

The arrangement of galaxies in the Hazeron universe was changed so that the war and peace dimensions each contain ten galaxies, arranged in a similar way in each dimension. Refer to the update universe map here.

Items Block Doors

Items no longer block doors open. This usually caused trouble, especially when turbo lift doors were blocked open.

Startup Galaxy

The default startup galaxy for new players is now Veil of Targoss. A red message appears when Shores of Hazeron is selected, to warn about the brutal life that awaits players there.

I am stoked to be modeling the first ship for my new empire using Blender. Is there a thread or tutorial I may have missed that covers the rest of the learning curve/wall beyond this point? 

EDIT: This has been identified as a bug. Please skip the below original post, I thought it was a normal function and was suggesting something to be done to improve the quality of life in the game. 



---- Original post ------
Ok so first off I apologies if this was already posted. I tired to find something like this and I could not. 


So I was thinking about the research of patients and I really like the mechanic of progressing to unlock higher items like as an example from Metal to Magmium then to Vulcium. 


What confused me a bit was improving on the designs when finding higher QL materials. Having to re-research to unlock improvements makes sense. What does not is having to go all the way back though the whole chain. Like if I wanted to make an improved grav drive module, why do I have first improve my chemicals rockets? That's like going back to the first patent of the telephone and having to improve that to make the latest cell phone. You don't have to do that for mining right now and that makes sense. 

I'm suggesting that once you unlock the technology it should not be as hard to improve on it. 

Thoughts?

Would love for some method to hide all this jazz from the view on my Internal Bridge, kinda like how it's done in Rodina. Not quite sure how it can be defined, but perhaps some form of "Screen Void" volume indicator in the design? it will 'hide' the view of the external ship itself when viewed from inside out or if the camera is within this 'screen void' it will only display inside objects of ships such as room voids, rooms and all their detail.

 

What it looks like in the game Rodina: 

That's a view from inside the ship, and it doesn't draw the outside of the ship from within, without any obstruction.

The following was posted on our Patreon page. It was accompanied by a poll asking whether to keep the universe database or reset the database when we go live on Steam.

I copied it here because I prefer the UI in the forum to that of Patreon. Also, I will resume posting updates here until the transition to Steam is complete. Then it will depend on how much I like Steam's UI. It is probably nice and it would save me from having to maintain this forum.

1. Keep the current Universe when Shores of Hazeron is published on Steam.
   
2. Reset the Universe when Shores of Hazeron is published on Steam.
   

You're likely going "Oh hell, not this again" and you would be pretty right.   I'm making this in response to the news we been hearing the past couple of hours about the steam launch that contains both questions and even stuff that NEEDS to be brought up before we even hit steam.  I came back because I fucking missed this game and I was always checking in to see how it was doing. I really want people to enjoy this game as well but there's a few things that really need be brought up. I apologize for how rushed this seems as I have an interview in the morning and need sleep soon.


Let's get the two elephants out of the room.

- Limbo.

Compared to how it used to be back in the day (and the time you went on vacation that one summer), Limbo is still is a problem but not as massive as it used to be.   When we switched back to free-to-play,  There was a surge of it.   Lot of us are just worried about how it will be handled with an influx of new players?   This is also considering that majority of Limbo comes up on the weekend when your on break.   



- The Designer.

Powerful?  Yes.  User friendly?  Not really.   You said it yourself one day in chat that you wanted to do work on it to make it more user friendly.   Are you going to do something for it before the launch on steam?

-  Galaxy size.

I see various opinions about this in Discord.   Some wish the amount of galaxies was toned down.    Some wish there was less distance.    It varies.


And my own gripes

- Patreon.

You told us that the Patreon was making a LOT more than what SoH was doing when the game was on subscription based.  There are people in the community who honestly enjoy the idea of the game and want to keep supporting.  Throwing it away is a waste in my opinion and it should honestly be kept for those who wish to put a tip towards develoment.

You could legit tease future shit on it and have the patch notes posted in the steam community news section.
