[1.7.0](8934) Bugs

[elberto]

All these bugs occured in a singleplayer game:

• Hydroponic Farm V / Mining Network V / Power Plant V: Can only be build on the homeworld, seems they require Empire Capital complex.
• Old Factory: I had the event where the factory was destroyed and I could pick either recovering energy or minerals, yet I could instantly repair the factory and it's still there.
• Battleships: I have researched the technology, but there's no default design listed in the Ship Designer.
• Adding a ship design with an already used name deletes the existing one. Deleting the newly added design restores it.
• Terraforming settled world shuffles tile resources, but you already know that.
• Conquered Fallen Empire Ringworlds appear as habitats, but count towards directly controlled planets as well.
• A hive mind/genetic modification bug: Pops of conquered planets that have been given the hive mind trait by genetic modification are not growing. Had something to do with default species rights, you have to set population control to allow for growing.

I will expand this list in case I find more bugs. o/

At least two of these are not bugs:
1 Level V buildings are indeed only available to capital (For example: http://www.stellariswiki.com/Buildings#Mining_networks)
2 Not sure about what do you mean by Ringworld count as habitat. The core limit is per system basis, so if you own new system (Ringworld within Beacon of xxx in this case) it would add to new system under your direct control. This also applies to adding Habitat to previous empty system that has no habitable world. Adding Habitats to system that already has a colony however won't increase the core system count as it is still in the same system.

Thanks for that clarification, I have corrected my post.

I and a couple of other people in the stellaris.online chat are unable to find servers with the bradbury beta, both versions

I had similar problems before, caused by a custom made name list. I suppose the game checks the hash code of all files, and if you change any, it's not the same version anymore. I fixed it by uninstalling, deleting all files in the game folder, and doing a clean install.

Hi @elberto thanks for taking the time and reporting your findings. If you could answer a few questions for me, that would be much appreciated.

When you say Old Factory, could you maybe describe the anomaly in more detail? or make a screenshot?
We are aware of the ship design issue but as it seems utterly random its hard to nail down exactly.
I'm afraid I can't reproduce this as it stands. You should not be able to delete your last design and deleting it while having another one does not restore the original one that was overwritten.
Terraforming, yes, we are aware and have a fix in our internal build.

Again thanks for reporting those issues, we very much appreciate it

Sadly I cannot provide screenshots but I can in detail described what is meant with the bug concerning the factory.

Once the factory is detected the event fires as it should, making population disappear. Sooner or later you get the event to destroy the factory ( as it is booby-trapped and killing your population, you sent to work in it ). Now you get the event "We destroyed the factory" and you may choose to keep the Energy Credits or Mineral bonus on the tile. However the factory building is not removed ( doesn't vanish ) but is merely destroyed ( Ruined Building symbol appears ) and thus can be repaired. Giving the player effectively the bonus of their choice ( whatever they have chosen at the end of the event chain ) and the production of the old factory.

I heard some people on reddit even claiming the chain for the old factory can fire again. Meaning that you can, potentially, boost a tile into godlike stats. I cannot confirm this story, however I had the issue/bug that the original poster described as well. So it is, indeed, definitely a bug with the end of the event chain.

Hi @KazeAmaru thank you for the information, that cleared it up. I confirmed and added the bug to the database.

Exactly.

Regarding the ship design not appearing: I was playing as a hive mind with the corresponding name list, and my cruiser was named "Type Omega". Now, after researching the Battleship, the default design for that was probably also named Type Omega and didn't appear in the list, so I made a new design with exactly that name, and my cruiser design disappeared from the list. When I deleted the newly added battleship design again, the cruiser's reappeared. I suppose it's caused by equal naming.
