v5.56/v5.60 Official Bugs Thread

[Theodidactus]

really weird one, only in my home system (sol) and only if I zoom.
Error in save zoom level:

Error 3709
The search key was not found in any record



any idea how to fix this? I really like this game, and I can't figure out where in my massive autosave chain this error crops up

the economics menu is not visible.   it opens but i cant see it.   no error message.

v5. 6

the economics menu is not visible.   it opens but i cant see it.   no error message.

Main Menu -> Miscellaneous -> Reset Window Positions will fix this. I ran into this on Steve's "The Space Race" game; I assume he keeps that window on a second monitor.

created a new system.

Do you have the "Planetjpeg" folder (and 4 other folders) in the Aurora install folder? If not, you missed the step during install of extracting the contents of the AuroraUpdateXXX.zip to the location Aurora was installed to. (XXX is a number, either 491 or 554.)

asteroid orbital motion is off if it matters.

im getting this now and sometimes it goes away after hitting enter and sometimes not. If i lleave the game and restart i wont see it for a while or itll show up on the next turn... i shut of the auto assign for commanders but that didnt help.

I somehow got the expand civilian economy tech to think I'd researched the first 2, when I haven't. I researched the 80,000 level one and my income is only 24 starting at a base of 20.

Update to the above, I can keep giving myself +20% techs. I thought it capped out at around the 320,000 level, but I'm up to 327M cost 20%.

Update 2: rolling back to the backup MDB file(which was apparently fairly old) fixed the issue and brought back the 20,000 level expand civ income line. This tech seems kinda wonky, only 1 level of it is displayed in the all projects list.

I need help with a bug, or at least i guess it is, and i must report it here since i cannot post a new topic in the bug section:

i sent some colonists to Venus (by mistake since it's an inhospitable planet used only with automated mines),
i saw that every turn they died because of the climate so i just waited 'till all supposedly died. . . .
well, now at every time tick i see the message "Unrest rising on Venus due to overcrowding. . . . ";

the anomalous thing i noticed is that on the planet Summary page, Population line, i can see 0. 00 pop, but still 100% Agricultural and Environmental. .

any tip would be appreciated, thanks for your attention

Might be a tiny amount of population (less than 0.01). Try sending (or SMing) a small amount of infrastructure to the colony.

Bugs should be reported in the appropriate thread for version, rather than making a bunch of new threads.

[jedi72it]

@Steve: alright, done that and now the unrest is dropping. . . so i guess in the near future i won't have those reports anyway. . .

@Erik: oh sorry for that, i will pay more attention next time, can you please move this post in the right spot?

[Nathan_]

people frantically build infrastructure if you dump them on an unsupported world, they probably scrapped together enough for a couple of families. That 100% agriculture and environmental isn't ever going away until the planet is terraformed, venus is just the worst hellhole in the solar system, just use SM to remove the them, or put an orbital habitat over the world and sm away the infrastructure, that will give you a colony that won't pester you about growth.

[Mel Vixen]

Well if you have a shipping line it could be that they will dump appropriate ammounts of infrastructure on Venus. If you are short on Infrastructure you could try the reduced colony cost techline in Logistics.

Done. It's mainly to help Steve keep track of things. He won't need to track down multitudes of threads, and attempt to guess version (if not supplied).
