Spacecraft Repair Quality
The inability to repair a spacecraft with lower Q components presents a frustrating roadblock. I had a note to rework this.

Spacecraft can now be repaired using any Q of components.
  • A system's module Q is reduced to the lowest Q component that is installed into it.
  • The UI to request repairs has a control to set the minimum Q components desired.
  • The UI to request repairs shows the relevant module and its Q next to each system.
  • When repairing a system by hand, the best Q parts are pulled from the hold first. If no parts are found there, the best Q parts are pulled from your gear.
  • Repair mission order now has options for choosing the minimum quality of parts the officer should use when carrying out the order.
    • System Module Quality repairs each system one by one, using the current module Q of that system as the min Q for parts. This is the default.
    • Spacecraft Manufacture Quality repairs all damage using the manufacture quality of the ship as the min Q.
    • Specified Minimum Quality uses a min Q set in the mission order.
  • This change eliminates an exploit where high Q components are removed from a system and replace using low Q component, ad infinitum.
Officer Not Repairing
Officer does not get repairs from new style buildings.

Fixed a bug that prevented the officer from finding new style repair shops.

Orbit Best Planet
It was requested that the Orbit Best Planet order be restored. It was removed some time ago.

Orbit Best Planet order restored to mission orders UI.

Request Repairs Response
The reply when requesting repairs could be more informative, to explain why repairs cannot be performed.

The reply when requesting repairs will now include the following information.
  • Parts that are not available at the minimum Q requested.
  • Parts that are in short supply at the minimum Q requested.
  • Parts that are not available at all.
  • Parts that are available in sufficient quantities if minimum Q was lower.
University Morale Bug
Universities do not seem to give any morale.

Fixed a bug when tallying universities that were not conducting any research at all.

Delete Overlap
It is sometimes impossible to delete a building, road or crater that is overlapping another.

The bulldozer button on the construction window can now select through the possible choices under the cursor. This is done using the mouse wheel or left|right arrow keys.

Craters
Craters do not deform the terrain at building sites or roads. This allows underground buildings to be invulnerable to attack.

Craters now deform the terrain of buildings and roads.
  • Craters destroy the pavement on the entire road segment. It becomes a dirt road.
  • Road segments are not destroyed so building connections are not affected.
  • Building structures can be left partially or totally floating in space, making them vulnerable to attack.
  • New roads and buildings can be built in craters.
  • A road reduced to dirt by bombing can be restored by paving it. The paved road will fix the crater deformation.
No Tool Refetch
When running a construction site, optional tools are not fetched again if the one wears out.

Fixed a bug that prevented the construction site UI from fetching when all required components were satisfied. It will now fetch if any component remains unsatisfied.

Empire 0 Cities Don't Export
Empire 0 cities do not export commodities to any empire affiliated cities.

Changed export policy of empire 0 to export to enemies, which is how empire 0 views all empires.

Officer Does Not Complete Travel Order
On two occasions so far, an officer has failed to mark a "Travel to Coordinates" order as complete, although the helm is satisfied with his position. In both cases, the coordinates were galactic.

I made a slight tweak to the commander AI that might fix the problem.

Avatar not in CoC can Run 0 Shop Jobs
It used to be impossible for avatars that weren't in chain of command of a city to run jobs that didn't have "Employ Citizen" checked. In new-style manufacturing lets anyone run a manufacturing line that has 0 workshops allocated.

Enabled/disabled controls on the Manufacture and Spacecraft Factory pages of the Building window, based on chain of command requirements.

Server Crash
There have been a number of server crashes in the past few days.

Thank you Mr. Mortius for leading me directly to this bug. It was caused by changing the minimum Q on a manufacturing process on a new style building.

Collision With Terrain
Collision with terrain is buggy. Sometimes I get killed suddenly when lying prone. Spacecraft crash very easily.

Nerfed collision with terrain until I can work on it.
