v5.56/v5.60 Official Bugs Thread

[Thiosk]

I can second the trade irregularities.  

Normal behavior:  Earth produces 100 factories.  Shipping them anywhere is trivial-- the fleet disperses the stuff quickly.

Lets change the example.  

Bad behavior: Asteroid 1 has 100 mines and a mass driver.  Order up source for those, and set destination to another asteroid.
Nothing ever happens.  The asteroid has no population, so ships never go there, and pick up the order.  

I've seen such off-the-beaten-path orders filled in the past-- but only sporadically.  Meanwhile, hundreds of cargo vessels have sat at sol or another major planetary hub, awaiting orders, for years. They aren't inactive, they just aren't getting tagged to do anything.  Aside from the (what i believe) to be a bug that lowers the priority of minor world shipping orders.

Perhaps shipping orders need to be more valuable to the civilian fleet.

The damage control queue persists after a ship repair has taken place at a shipyard, so it will continue to do damage control on already fixed components, consuming maintainence supplies and so forth.

Fixed for next version.

Hi,

I`m not sure but it seems to be a bug for me, that the time reduction of commercial Spaceports don`t apply for civilian vessels.   On Earth I got 5 commercial Spaceports but civilian Freighters still need 10:10:0:0 to Load/Unload trade Goods.   My self controlled counterparts work fine.   But Cargo Handling Module works for both. 

Also the general Order "move to nearest Mineral location" does`nt work with Asteroid Miner.   But when I send the Miner via "Move To" Order they beginn to mine the Asteroid.   Seems to be a problem with continual orders.   They only work with no orders on schedule.   I think this isnot a classic Bug but should be fixed because the order becomes useless to this. 

I`m using v5.  6 at Win7 Ultimate SP1. 

*edit: added "Ultimate"*

Am using 10 freighters with 10 cargo holds (500000), am transporting a research center, and have a stockpile of 100 centers to move.
the cargo fleet has enough room to carry 1 RC at a time.

am tring changing pulses and increment times now

And am still have this problem.

For clarification, the freighters are player built.

The date, the date, it's wrong!

At first I thought you were trying to make a joke about the format, but then I saw what you really meant x.x

This comes up from time to time.  As I recall, Steve has defaulted all months in Aurora to 30 days each to simplify coding.

I picked up some rather special engines from a ruin.

Ion Engine E0 (1)    Power 60    Fuel Use 0%    Signature 0    Armour 0    Exp 0%    Hyper Capable   (4 HS)
Magneto-plasma Drive E0 (1)    Power 80    Fuel Use 0%    Signature 0    Armour 0    Exp 0%    Hyper Capable  (3 HS)

Now, I know you need the NPRs to cheat a little bit for gameplay's sake, but...

Also, a subordinate bug -- Using either of those engines in a design gives a division by zero error for obvious reasons.

Think this is an old bug, my PDC is running out of fuel... It got 500000 liters of good fuel, maybee a sinkhole opens up under the fueltanks...

Here is a bizarre race condition: Within the same month period an engineering brigade brought back alpha shields and my DS researcher finished armor, and moved on to the next item in his queue: alpha shields.
Cancelling the already completed alpha shields research project had no ill effects otherwise, beta shields were immediately available.

Installed on a new computer with the latest version and patches 5. 56 and 5. 60. 
Starting a new game I see this error:

I tried with just the default settings and still got the same error.

Could be a problem with permissions, file or folder.

What happens if you install into a folder outside of C:// ?

I have found a strange bug in v5. 6.  When I explore some systems they are being generated without asteroids, but the all bodies tab in the system map shows asteroid, when I click on it I get these errors

The strange thing is most star systems are ok and contain asteroids as normal.

Also I have my region settings set to UK English.
