v1.8.0 Bugs Thread 1.8.0bugs

Atmospheric pressure and absolute temperature can go below 0.

Created new game to experiment with terraforming cold worlds (Minerva moon to be specific)

Add a gas that freezes at current temperature.
Update body
GH factor and pressure are incrementally reduced every time you press the button, eventually going negative.

Also not sure if WAI, but since Greenhouse factor is limited to 3. 00, it is effectively impossible to make cold worlds viable.   And with Aestium having a 100k freeze point, it is useless on a world below 33. 3k base temperature before albedo is taken into account.

Would you ever introduce a way to alter albedo to heat/cool worlds?

From a conventional start, you can create a missile with EM or Thermal sensors (maybe also active, once the first level of active sensor strength is researched and geosurvey when that's researched) even though you have no reactor tech. It shows the power requirement but the reactor MSP stays at 0. It did let me create the project. I didn't try researching and building it, so I don't know if the missile would actually work, but it should probably not allow sensors to be added until reactor tech is available. Another option would be a conventional level reactor tech with terrible performance to go with the conventional engine tech.

1. 8. 0  Any ruins generated using the SpaceMaster "Random Ruin" button disappear when the game is loaded back up.   
All naturally generated ruins and any anomalies generated by "Random Ruin" button remain.

The Research prototype buton wont appear for future prototypes after the pre-requisite research is done.

Was just passing time on the tactical map when an NPR started fighting (at least thats what I assume).   Increments went down to 5sec for quite some time until I got spammed by errors in function #713.   I clicked a lot of these away until I got a #1414 followed by a #1555 then repeated from there, on and on until I gave up clicking. 

TN start with random stars, just 6 years into the game. 
Made a fresh install when 1.  8 was released and I have changed my windows regional settings to UK.

Do you remember the text of the errors? The number tells me where but the text tell me what.

Was the usual Object reference not set to an instance of an object, its the only error message I have seen in any of my games 

I had the same thing happening again after just passing time from my last save, did it several times and it always happened.
I also had a couple of these (though never all of them in the same run):
#4: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
#300: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
#1538: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
#1554: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
#1821: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Made a save where the NPR had started the fight but before the errors happened and attached it.

v1.80

Frequently, a system will eternally report below 100% geo survey complete.
A prime example of this is in the linked database file.

Steps to find it:
1) Open galactic map
2) Note that 40 Eridani is listed at 13% complete
3) Open system generation and display
4) Switch to 40 Eridani
5) Note that all of the worlds, moons, comets, and asteroids have been surveyed.

Good luck!

Frequently, a system will eternally report below 100% geo survey complete.

40 Eridani-C has 400 unsurveyed asteroids, presumably due to it being outside of the 10 billion km autosurvey limit.

I ordered a Transport with only 1000 space to pickup a Formation that is 2000 tons.
The event log reports " TR Afgan has completed orders. Orbiting Earth"
Of course the transport is still empty. It should have given an error message about insufficient capacity.

[Ektor]

Steve, not to be annoying, but did you see my bug report? I think it's a pretty major one.

[se5a]

I'm still on 1.7.3, but got someone else to confirm on 1.8:

Open both the missile design screen AND the component design screen.
Design and Create a sensor/missile FC. *don't* close the design screen.
Design and Create a missile, on clicking create, you should get an error pop up "Function #2047: An item with the same key has already been added. Key: 78139"
Ok that error. and get the message about the missile being added to research.
go to research. missile does not exist in MK.
look under SC, missile name exists there, however the info says it's a fire control.

v 1. 8

When assigning Fleet Training to a group, if a ship is in overhaul their maintenance goes up as if in training.

Expected: Ships marked for overhaul should be excluded from training until complete.

[Stoned]

I am having an issue (only with military fleets so far) where the ships become entirely immobile yet fully functional until they eventually die from lack of repair supplies. 

Edit: I have discovered that the fleet will continue to move if in task force training, but is otherwise immobile.

[serger]

It looks like WAI reading the Changes post (http://aurora2.pentarch.org/index.php?topic=8495.msg103818#msg103818), but it can be a bug of model:
Small crafts ("fighters") are subjects to crew grade (that depends on academy level of quality in time of their production, and must affect battle effectiveness), but their cew grade levels are not trainable, eventually because small crafts have no command & control system by design.

[Marski]

Reporting same bug in 1.8.0 as in 1.7.3; CIWS won't engage missiles.

- playing on 1.8.0
- Operating System's decimal separator is a " . "
- Operating System's grouping separator is a " , "
- Aurora is run in administrator mode
- Conventional start
- "Real stars" is on
- I had a exploration ship with four "AK-676M" CIWS in it's design, following then-neutral alien fleet, which after sending garbled messages turned hostile and launched missiles at it
- RADAR was off
- combat settings were untouched aka default state a military ship would be in when they're built from a shipyard

Started a new game. Not to much explored, ran into two NRP's being almost nextdoor buddies(tm) . Get along decently with one of them, the other hostile.

Few years and then the 5s increments start. ...everythings moving fast, turning the event window off and I'am looking at almost a minute of ingame time per real life second. Huzzah, this awesome!

Now they've been at it for... 36 hours of 5s updates I think. 
However it keeps throwing me interrupting Function #311's(Object reference not set to an instance of an object) irregurarly(0-4 times/hour) thinking this won't resolve due to whatever is throwing them errors.
