v2.4.0 Changes Discussion Thread

[BAGrimm]

So the change to Known Stars (from 4,400 to over 63,000 known systems) had me wondering what the distribution of systems looks like now.  Mainly I was wondering how it might affect the rate of coming across starting NPRs in a given min-max range.  So I made a graph because of course I did.

This is rather interesting.  I did not realize how many systems are within a given distance of Sol.  It definitely makes me question what settings to use for NPR min/max distances!

I might suggest that the checkbox to display CC-based colors in the mineral search should be on by default, I suspect that most players will prefer having it on and those who don't will be ambivalent.

One option I would love on the mineral search window, would be to exclude colonised bodies - its main purpose is to find potential colonies, and existing ones are kind of clutter when doing that.

Agreed. It is worth noting that this became relevant since we now have a more useful empire mining screen, otherwise, having also colonized bodies was essential to understand what was required on a larger scale.

Eventually, would be good also to sort comets out, since you can sort pretty much everything by body kind beside them on that screen.

With the 2.5.1 changes so far, is the current best guess that this will be a save-game compatible update (hence the .1 version?). Jonesing to start a new campaign but excited for some of the fixes going into 2.5.1!

If you're playing a 2.5.0 game, then yes, 2.5.1 will be save game compatible.

But seeing as you posted in the 2.4.0 changes thread, then your game will not be compatible with the latest version.

Thanks! I would be starting a new 2.5.0 game. I looked for a 2.50 Changes Discussion thread, but only saw the 2.4.0 one so assumed we were just using this.

Egg on my face! My bad, I hadn't realized Steve hadn't created a 2.5 changes discussion thread.

Oder by Promotion Points would be a nice addition for RP reasons in the Commanders screen.

This is the 2.4 change discussion thread, not the suggestions thread.

This is a game-changer.
