v1.13.0 Bugs Thread

[nonum]

Bug: When fleet has anchor set and has standing order such as "Survey Nearest body" or "Survey Nearest Location" then after arriving at body/location to conduct survey it begins to travel back to anchor during that survey.  It actually surveys that location while traveling from it.

Expected behavior is to stay at location of survey and only travel to anchor after survey is complete and standing orders are no longer possible.

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Create parent fleet with 2+ ships, detach survey ship(s) from parent fleet and then set anchor of detached fleet(s) to parent fleet that still has 1 ship.
2.  Travel to system with unsurveyed locations/bodies
3.  Click button Detach Escorts for parent fleet, set Standing orders of detached fleets(ships) to "Survey Nearest body" or "Survey Nearest Location"

The function number: n/a
The complete error text: n/a
The window affected: (related to anchor functionality and standing orders)
What you were doing at the time: Just incrementing time
Conventional or TN start: TN
Random or Real Stars: Random
Is your decimal separator a comma?: No
Is the bug is easy to reproduce, intermittent or a one-off?: Easy to reproduce, always happens.

Minor error
Alien ships receiving same ship designations for different classes.

Example:
Enemy alien ship assigned Cadmus designation. This was a DDG. I destroy all know examples. Then come across new fleet of same alien with 10 Ships designated Cadmus. Get torn into them, find afterwards They were fuel harvesters. Tried changing Theme but same thing happens.

I have also had five ships of one class of orbital miners designated "Resurrection Ship" another six of same class designated "Allosaurus", previously the name of a beam cruiser. Those ships were in the same alien fleet I captured.

Bug: Commanders are getting reassigned to new ships instead of dying in the depths of space (or possibly in an alien gulag).

After a botched raid against an NPR's home system, my fleet had to run with their tails between their legs - full speed, shooting at volleys of incoming missiles every 15 or so seconds, with a depressing number managing to make it past the railguns to strike the fleet. Anyway, long story short, two ships exploded, leaving lifepods with commanders. We couldn't turn around to pick them up, so left them as the fleet jumped out system.

Shortly thereafter, some new ships were built and I was surprised to see one of the left-behind commanders assigned to it (CAPT Frodo Baggins - memorable enough that I noticed). It is indeed the same captain - his history shows him getting his ship blown up around him (twice, as it so happens, but I picked up his lifepod the first time.)

This is on v1.13.0, with no database hacking or anything else funny going on.

Bug: Ship with a destroyed geo scanner will sit above a planet and try (and fail) to scan it without any error message.

I had an exploration ship that lost its scanner due to a random malfunction. It didn't have enough supplies on board to fix the scanner, and either that message didn't pause time, or it happened simultaneously with other events and I didn't notice it. Regardless, the ship already had auto-generated orders input to scan several planetary bodies. It arrived at the planet, and just sat there - for years, before I noticed one of my ships was way, way, overdue for a refit.

Given that I can't ignore ships who fail when they want to transit through a jump point for more than a 30 second increment without them spamming me to death, I feel that this seems like an oversight.

Found a minor text bug.  .  . 


When a fleet can't grab minerals cause the planets reserve settings prohibit it, the news log will show "None" as pickup good instead of "Minerals".

V1.13: Naval Organisation Window - Ship Design Display
There are two fields "Target Speed" and "Range Bands". If you want to change the numbers and try to exit these fields by pressing the Enter button it creates a "Carriage Return" in that field and makes it an invalid number.

Is this a Bug?

The enemy alien race started to throw ships at me. I've already killed like 50 of them, but they are still coming.
And they still have 141 of them (13 642 t each), those are not diplo ships.

V1.13: Medal Management:

After selecting an already existing medal, changing all attributes, and saving it as a new medal, the conditions in the new medal are empty and the original medal contains the changed conditions. The original conditions are lost.

Bug: When using premade components on multiple tasks in a row, you get extra resources back.

Only tested this on a single shipyard with 5 slipways. If you place a single order and then close the menu and open it again, everything works just fine. But after having set the first one and I clicked the Create Task -button 4 times in a row, which resulted in the mineral usage of corundium (which was the main number I was paying attention to as no other ships were using it) for SY Tasks was listed as -1440. And it wasn't just ghost numbers, I did actually get that much back. Considering each ship uses 240 corundium for two orbital mining modules each, that means I got an extra 240 corundium back from that ordeal. Then on the next try, I ordered all 5 ships back to back, which resulted in a corundium use of -4800 for SY Tasks, so 4 times as much corundium as I used in making the modules in the first place.

Ancient Constructs bugs

I haven't yet trained any Xeno teams (still two years off) but noticed a couple of issues...

(1) On the Ancient Constructs tab of the Economic screen it shows the type and bonus of the dormant constructs on every planet even though they have not had Xeno teams visit yet.

(2) The bonus for Ancient Constructs is applied to research projects of the appropriate type on the planet, again without any Xeno involvement (as long as the min 1m pop is present which is a given if there is at least one operating research lab)

v1.13, no mods, UK decimals, 10 years in.

V1.13: Getting the error message: Function #2801: Tried to divide by zero
Clicked on a Ground Support Fighter in the Naval Organisation Window. The tab "Ship Design Display" only shows "error" as text. The fighter looks like this:

I thought it strange that I didn't need to put engineering onto the fighter. But there was no warning or error message. I added one but it didn't remove the error message above.

While I must admit that the tactical value of a large hunk of armor is non-negligible, particularly when the opponent is not aware of the ship type and fires a bunch of missiles at it, I am not sure that a "Jump Cruiser" with no jump engine is something the NPRs should be sending out to battle.

I have noticed that Reduced Size Laser 0.75/4x Recharge does not reduce the size of the laser. With a Capacitor 3, 10cm Infrared you have 150 tons size and if you apply the reduction while all the other values go down the laser weight is still 150 tons. The following tech (0.5) does reduce the amount of tonnage to 100 though.

1. 13. 0

I marked a system as "Block Fleet Movement Auto Route".
This does not prevent my survey ships to auto seek this system for the standing order of "Move to System Requiring . . . survey".  It should though.

[TMaekler]

V1.13: Deselecting the option to auto-use Lagrange points when setting a fleet route does work - except when you let it automatically search for the route to the final system - in that case, it keeps considering Lagrange points and add them to the route.
