Retrofit Problem

Ruatha · #1 January 3rd, 2004, 02:53 AM

Well, roll me in sugar, flour and egg and bake me at 200 degrees for twenty minutes, then call me a sweet cake!
I was the cause of the bug all the time, now it's verified.

I had so good income so It didn't make any difference on the balance;
away with all resources of one kind (don't know which) and then try to retrofit and then receive plenty of income, never knew what it was.

I also had a planet with repeat orders on resource conVersion. When I cleared them Last turn, the retrofitting worked great. Thank you, Asmala for your assistance.

I didn't realize before that if you have a planet with repeat orders, such as launch mines, and then give it another order, such as convert, that the new orders are added to the repeat queue.

There is renewed hope...Greybeard

This sounds to me like we need some sort of more obvious notice of either planets repeating orders or the 'convert resourcs' command specifically. Maybe a log entry?

We'll call it the "HEY, STUPID" alert. Believe me I've done the same thing with the same results. ... I think I'm getting used to being called stupid.

Well dang Ruatha, I feel stupid too. I didn't see it when I looked, even though someone else had mentioned that as a posibile explanation.

The new beta patch gives a log entry for resource conVersion. Not specifically repeat orders, but at least now you get a log entry so maybe you will notice when you get them every turn.

Also, right now there is an orders tab in the colonies window. You can click that and scroll the list looking for "convert resources".

Usually I only have a single planet being able to convert resources. So its not very difficult to check what is going on there - and I make sure I double-check this important special planet every turn.
I do not see any advantages to having more than one converter. Except for messing up the economy

. Is it normal to have more planets with resource converters, and what good is it for?
