Logging camp is not limited in its number of manufacturing workshops like the mine and well. Logging camp actually seem to be using fields instead of workshops, which is weird.
There is also no default logging camp building blueprint, which seem to confuse some new players.

I'm noticing multiple colonies with 0 population, and 0 morale displayed in the city report. They do however still run all processes, as though they have full population.
I notice this most often with moon bases.

The addition of platforms which you can build under the sea and on the sea floor would be really helpful. Given all the other platform and biodome types there's no reason they shouldn't exist. Or you could just allow existing aerial platform types to go into negative numbers, below MSL.
They would be especially invaluable on gas giants, where you'd then be able to place airports with transporters within overlapping range at various heights within the deep sea. That would allow you transport from the core into orbit and vice versa by "island hopping" from one platform to the other.

When a process is in the "not ready" stage, it displays an estimated time to run.
This estimated time is currently multiplied by the number of workers working the process, which makes no sense because the actual run time always remains the same, irrespective of the number of workers. It should be changed to remain the same value as for one worker.

The Building Code guide and Usage Tips are something I find really useful in the designer.
More reference material in the main game would really help with planning your empire. All the info is there in the code and databases, so I would really like to have a window where you can look up the material requirements, tools, modifiers and base time to run any given process. Perhaps you can check and uncheck modifiers to see their effect. It would really help with setting up larger scale production chains and broker shipments, and I'd use it a lot.
Ultimately I'd also like to see an "empirical" usage chart which you can set up at a concrete city: i.e. you tell a city to "prepare detailed usage report" and it will log a power, food and resource usage flow chart for every building/home/process in the city over a standard period so you can identify bottlenecks and understand shortages at the source. It shouldn't add to the general strain on cities since it the info will only be logged when you request it in advance.

[Website] SSL and Security Improvements |

- Please add SSL. Almost every website these days forces HTTPS, and it's easier than ever to get an SSL certificate. What's more, many programs and websites will default to https when a user types a domain without any prefix, which causes confusion when people click their link and receive a 401 error. By all means, use a free certificate from Let's Encrypt. It's so easy to install using the Python program Certbot, which you can install using APT on Debian and Ubuntu. They even have an additional program to automatically configure Apache and Nginx to enable SSL and configure your websites to use your new certificate.
- Upgrade PHP! Upon inspection, the version of PHP being used by the server is pretty out-dated. The longer this waits, the greater the chance some nefarious individual will get bored enough to launch an attack using one of the various vulnerabilities at their disposal.
Please set aside some time next month to do this. It's relatively easy, and terribly important. If I encounter any other potential vulnerabilities, I will try to be more discreet about it.
Much Love ♥,
Seathre

| Ship Cannot Target Buildings |

Today a ship would not fire on a military biodome - perhaps the targeting code doesn't know that certain buildings can now be military which were not before? Because all other military buildings were inside this biodome, the ship then couldn't fire on anything at all. Even in berserk posture, I think it tried to target the military buildings first.
One helpful improvement would be if ships, after unsuccessfully targeting a given building or ship for a certain period of time (after coming to a rest, no more repositioning), moved onto the next available target in range (according to posture), eventually cycling round.
This would help all sorts of situations where an NPC crew becomes fixated on trying to destroy a currently indestructible target while ignoring dozens of perfectly vulnerable ones nearby.
Deantwo also made a good suggestion, I'll expand on it: A ship should fire even if its line of sight is obstructed. After a certain time, if it has not damaged *anything*, it should cycle to the next target (or stop if only one target remaining). If it has damaged something, even if not the intended target, it should keep firing. The only exception should be if the obstruction is an object belonging to an empire *other than the target*, i.e. you won't shoot a neutral ship to get at an enemy behind it.

Code: 10:02 UTC · Veil of Targoss
Jerald Lardle
Uh, I accidentally told Targoss I don't need him, can I get him back?
Is this maybe something we can get by now?
It would be very helpful for new players and returning players alike to be able to summon Targoss for a refresher course.
On that note I would still prefer that city building tutorial was done differently and separately than Targoss.
It is not that I have anything against your voice, just that city building is process that can take longer or shorter time depending on the player. And some players have even had issues with Targoss trying to follow them onto their shuttle, which then prevented takeoff.
