Bug in 1.41 - Page 2

I have just noticed that when I make a new game, it is saying it can't find several statements in the AI files.

Regards,

One oddity -- in my present 1.41/TDM 255-system game, I've seen over 90 systems without a single "ancient ruins" planet. Anybody know if the probabilities got tweaked, or whether I might have inadvertently changed a setting somewhere?

Interesting. I've been getting more under 1.41/TDM, but they have been mostly worthless. (Whoopee, Organic Farm II, that will solve all my problems!) There is a switch during set-up that disallows all ruins.

There are 7 possible ruins chances listed in the StellarAbilities file. Each has a 5% chance of occurring on a "standard planet", not exactly sure what that means. Seems odd you would not have found at least one.

Hrm. I probably hit the toggle by mistake, then. *shrug*

No new issues noticed by me in this patch, so far, and the fighter-stack +defense bug is fixed (BIG yay for non-Deeply Religious races!).

Actually... its only 1/2% chance to find a ruins planet (value is in tenths). And, as I recall, thats the same its always been.

You are correct Purple, it is 1/10ths.

So if there are 7 types (per Marty), that would be roughly an overall 3.5% chance for a ruins planet or about 1 in 28. If we assume 7 planets in a planetary system (wag), that would mean that 1 in 4 planetary systems would contain a ruins planet. That is totally consistent with my experience. Out of 16 explored planetary systems in my current game, I found 4 ruins planets.

Taqwus,

Hmmm, that is weird. I have no "special" planets either in the 1.41 (sim) game (no modpack or mods) I am playing. I am usually careful to select it, because, of course, it is a nice feature. I thought I probably forgot the setting too, but now I am beginning to wonder.

To follow up with self-destruct order for mines, it still does not work in any of my 1.41 (sim) games.

Hi

I encountered a different bug in a PBEM game. When I an ally of myself offer a traety to each other at the same time and both accept. The treaty is killed an we're left with no treaty at all.

This is very annoying. I made friendship with my neighbor just after the game began. And we established one treaty after another until we reached Military Alliance. Then it happened. Wi beoth offered Partnership and both accepted one round later. Another turn passed and there was only the yellow word "none" in the treaty list.

As a result several of our ships (resupplying on the partners planet) were destroyed and of course we lost all minerals and research points from trade.
