Hi. I hope this posts in the correct place. Am having a bit of trouble posting from my phone.
Sorry if it doesn't post correctly.
So. . . long story short ish. . . One day in the mid 2070's my game threw up a random error. . . a "RaceUpdateShipClass 3265 (IIRC on the number. . . can check later edit:have checked and corrected number) item does not exist in this library"
After much resetting (I keep regular saves of the db) and changing of variables I determined it was nothing to do with any manufacturing process, fleet order, shipyard/ground unit creation or task or any other process that I was running. The error came at the same time on the same day no matter what I changed.
After downloading the text version of the event log in SM mode I noticed that the error always got thrown up immediately after the Jalanu (an NPR) finished its research into Ion drive tech (which I am pretty sure they already had because the ships they used when I met them 40+ years ago in the game were pretty advanced but anyway. . . ).
The error said that it couldn't update the ship class so I figured it was the NPR trying to update its classes after researching the new engine tech. So. . . after some google fu and getting the dev password, I Dev moded in and found the research project for the NPR and paused it. Lo and behold, no error. It was indeed an NPR trying to update its ship classes after completing some engine research.
Does anyone know why it does this? Am I missing a file for NPR class updates? It says that the item does not exist in this library, which kinda made me think it was missing something. I am fairly new to the game (about 6 weeks in) but downloaded 7. 1 off of the forum and followed install instructions to the letter. Has never produced this error before and have been playing in game time for over 50 years.
I asked on reddit first rather than the forum because I have obviously used the Dev mode password and wasn't sure if you would mind that as I didn't ask for it but instead found it on google.
Any info is appreciated. Cheers.
P. S. Sorry Steve, hope you don't mind about the password. Your game is awesome! Thank you so very much.
