Fixed for next DB release.

Not sure if its a bug, but conventional start gives me 2 shipyards even tough i type 0.
Sorry for bad english, not sure if every word is spelled right.

Design Tech and View Tech buttons in Class Design seem to have no functionality attached to them.

Also I appear to be getting what I can only assume are civilian/AI sourced component designs populating my list of components as I've only designed 1 single Nuclear Pulse Engine. Progressed time a year and checked the class design window again and now I have a additional 5 Nuclear Pulse Engine components listed for use in designs alongside Mesons, Missile Fire controls, Thermal sensors, Particle beams and so forth.

May be connected to trying the design/view tech buttons?

The game uses the System Language to show Completion Dates in Research, Industry and probably other fields where a date is seen, these dates get cut off when the string is to long

Looks like this is the first non-code issue.  In all my games, the day isn't seen, only the date, so there is enough room. 

Anyone know if that is a date setting in Windows?

This is because of using DateTime. ToString() which will use the windows setting for date displaying.  There are overloads of this function, for example if you use DateTime. ToString("yyyy-mm-dd") then it will output in that format.  Please see the DateTime. ToString() documentation here: https://docs. microsoft. com/en-us/dotnet/api/system. datetime. tostring?view=netframework-4. 8

I had the same thing happen with "Design Philosophy", which gave me a whole bunch of random tech.

Two shipyards is default for Conventional. Ignores the setting is a bug. Fixed for next version.

On the events tab the amount of messages to show keeps defaulting to 30 days.  When I move the simulation forward a 30 Day period of time I can not see the events that have passed without changing this default. 

I change the days on the events to 60 and this is fine.  But when I close the window it defaults back to 30 days again.  So this means if i ever want to see what events happen when I move forward the time by 30 days then I have to keep changing this number manually.  I presume this is not as intended.

Ah, don't recall clicking that but it's possible I did by accident when trying design/view.

New Game -- Game Information window

Setting a negative date for "Starting Year" (say, for example, because one is doing a conventional start and wishes the calendar to count up from the Stardate of First Contact) generates the error:

"Function #1690: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime."

- - - - -

(VB Aurora had no problem with this, and would happily count forwards from 01 January -22 or -15 or -99 or whatever.)

Use the 'Refresh' button, that way you can keep the event window open.

Under display, ticking "Asteroid With Minerals Only" box leaves some asteroids showing on the system view, despite having no surveys completed.   I assume this is showing me all the asteroids that have minerals on them despite me not knowing that they have minerals on them.   "Asteroid With Colonies Only" hides these asteroids properly because there are no colonies on them.

It isn't being saved. I have the window open all the time so it was never an issue. I'll add some code to retain it.

This is also because of the DateTime struct, it can only take years between 0 and 9999.

Thanks it must just be my OCD play style that I feel like I have to close every window when I have finished using it for its particular purpose.
