Can't change any planet: not earth with 1400m ppl, not mars with 240m, not venus with 1,5 m.
Whenever i change it it simple switch back to default once i change screen.

i wonder if they guy that programs this guy is still working on a follow up patch for these 5.52 issues

Without a doubt, Steve is working on fixing bugs. A patch may not be released today or tomorrow, but there will be one that fixes the bugs.

oh nah thats fine wasnt sure who was who around here figuring it out well back to hunting for bugs

[Thibaut]

a new one i have not seen before

"Error in CycleOrders : Error 3421 was generated by DAO.Field".
Next message is in French, probably translation is "datatype conversion error".

I have been trying to advance the date for a while, but Aurora was going  full CPU for more than 10 minutes, so i killed and restarted it.
ANd then retrying with shorter time increment (going down from 30 days up to 1H), and I ended up with this error popping up.

Unfortunately, the dialog keeps popping up, (probably 100 more times already)

There is a bug regarding the Swarm and the Precursors.

It's either the Swarm themselves, the Precursors ramming/shooting at the Swarm or the Swarm attacking the Precursors. The error I posted earlier was what the game spat out when this happened.

I will say, I needed to use the dev mode to see the events from the Precursor's point of view and the Swarm's point of view. Also to vaporize the Swarm ships so I could see the results, lo and behold the errors stopped coming up. Beyond that, I did not tamper with the game in any way.

Also, I didn't know there were 4 Swarm classes.

It's not the existence of the Swarm (and Precursors, and Invaders) that we're trying to hide with [ spoiler ] tags; they're right there in the game options screen after all.  It is the details of their ships/weapons/tactics.  So the parts of that post that we ask you to spoiler tag is the fact that Precursors will ram and the last sentence (which you did, so good on you).

Duly noted. Nonetheless, it's still an annoying bug.

Anyway, a bro at Bay 12 said that the bug is likely caused by ramming attacks.

I think it was due to the FAC having less armor rows than the damage template need due the the large amount of damage ramming does.

Those precursors probably are frieghters.

I can't prove or disprove anything, but the ship was ramming a Matriarch, a massive (200,000 tons) Swarm ship IIRC and it couldn't kill it because the shields were regenerating too fast.

Error in checkspecialorders

Error 3021 was generated by DAO.Field

I believe I've found a minor bug in the colony cost formula.   I found a moon of Sirius B I with the following atmospheric composition. 

Ammonia (F) 82%
Nitrogen 17.  6%
Neon 0.  36%
Total Pressure is .  1
Gravity is .  73
Temperature is -42.  8

Using the default human race. 

Anyway, the problem is that although the moon has an unbreathable atmosphere (which is indicated on the system view), the colony cost is 1.  90, which is equal to the temperature cost, when it should be 2.  0 on account of the unbreathable atmosphere; there isn't any oxygen.   If the ammonia was gaseous, the colony cost would also be set to 2 because of the toxicity.   I'm guessing the program is disregarding the toxic gas since it's frozen (as it should), but then doesn't do a follow up check for oxygen content, so it just becomes the temperature cost. 

I've got a database to send if you need it.

Hope our Steve fix those dastardly bugs.

5.50 to 5.52 are full of "reboot pc" bugs..

Ah, an oldie but goodie. I can confirm that the NPRs are still trying to use non-existent tech systems in the newest version. :-)

Still on 5.51 and I just got this as well. Actually, I initially didn't get an error at all and had to kill the process (After waiting a couple hours) while passing time in single day intervals. I only got the error after I loaded the game back up and inched along at a smaller interval to see if I could pinpoint what caused the initial crash.

The error popped up around a dozen times before I was able to get back to the game. Looks like it occurred during a build cycle, which isn't surprising considering what seems to cause the error.

I didn't catch if the error was addressed after searching for "3201" on each page, so I apologize if it was already taken care of.

Edit: What the hell...I just went to check the message history to see exactly how many times the error occurred and I'm looking at the message history for an entirely different game. It should be noted that the messages that display at the bottom of the system map are correct, but the ones under "Events" are not.

yup got the same 3021 error messages msyelf
