SE V Bugs That Are Still Present

[Randallw]

I have been fiddling with files for a game that wouldn't generate the next turn properly. I got it working but don't know if it is related to a bug I got.

I opened my turn and ran the movement log. It worked ok but then it went to the next turn and started moving ships about by itself. That is it did 30 days of movement then moved date up and started 30 more with ships on AI.

almost forgot, it's balance mod.

The error you got looks more related to a memory leak than a problem with turn processing. It's likely the game finished processing your turns then crashed after a few hours of idling.

There definitely seems to be a memory leak. I've had the same crash with the "not enough memory" error happen again. The "processing after all players turns" becomes slower and slower the more turns you play. Then if you quit SEV and restart, continuing the same game, it speeds up again. If you don't quit and restart SEV every so often, it becomes very slow and eventually it gets stuck or crashes.

In a recent game, I've set up construction item queues for different types of colonies. I created a queue with the facilities first, and then weapon platforms and then troops at the end. The troops were somehow not saved in the list, so when I went to a newly colonized planet and loaded the saved queue to build the items, the troops didn't show up. So I thought I must of forgotten to add troops, and added them manually to the end and re-saved the item list. Then, when I used the item list on another planet later, once again the troops were missing. This problem only happens sometimes and the other item queues worked OK even with troops.

Another time, I saved an item queue that had 625 troops at the end but somehow it only remembered to build 111 when I loaded it later. This problem also only happens sometimes.

I think migration is still at least partly broken. I captured an enemy colony ship with other-breating population and have been using it to undome some worlds. These planets are not migrating their population elsewhere.

[Suicide Junkie]

Have you got any breathable (to them) planets that are not already filled to capacity?

[Slick]

yes, many. they aren't migrating at all.

they are jubilant, loyal and have normal, positive migrating percentages. they just don't migrate.

[Dizzy]

I apologize for being ignorant, and please excuse my lack of in depth research on this, I am just not knowlegeable on this topic, but is this a feature I could call 'auto-migration'; One where you have two different races on several of your planets and the races begin to migrate by themselves to the proper breathable atmospheres?

I have just conquered a planet owned by a rival that breathes Oxygen and my race breathes Hydrogen. I do have other planets that have oxygen atmospheres, but the population on them are all hydrogen breathers. Will Oxygen breathing population migrate in automatically on these planets? And by the same token, will my hydrogen breathers begin migrating out?

[Baron Munchausen]

If there is unoccupied space on your oxygen planets, then yes, your new oxygen breather population should start to migrate to those planets. If they are full, no go. The hydrogen breathers will not migrate out unless there is a good hydrogen planet that attracts them. I've never seen a planet converted from domed status by migration alone, though. You'll have to lift the hydrogen breathers out with a population transport and take them somewhere else once you've got some oxygen breathers on those worlds.

What happens to the domes? Do the Ox breathers move in the domes our is more space opened?

[Slick]

You'll have to lift the hydrogen breathers out with a population transport and take them somewhere else once you've got some oxygen breathers on those worlds.

Or jettison those last squatters into space.
