[Dev Team] 2.2.3 patch released, and 2.2.4 beta now available [checksums - 2.2.3=746c, 2.2.4=77d7]

[BlackholePD]

Odd patch note phrasing. But cool!

Returning removed orbital deposits to uninhabitable Precursor homeworlds

What does this refer to? Was thinking it was something to do with the 7 minerals thing, but I don't know where precursor homeworlds come into that.

 

[AlanC9]

Probably Irass et al.

 

[BlackholePD]

Ah, that makes sense.

 

[Moah]

It means they fixed the district bug.

Confirmed.

 

[Nimic]

Very nice. I was waiting for this hotfix to enjoy the performance boost. Now I'm just looking for the Robot-assembly fix and I'll be happy, but I'll just avoid playing robot heavy until then.

* Colonizable planets will no longer be clear-cut and paved…

Did that also fix the abundance of +7 Mineral resources on every planet and their dog? I was under the impression that the two were related...

 

[Metztli]

Confirmed.

Any chance the fix coming today ?

That's intended, at least the 2.2.4 initial patch notes make it appear to be. There was a line about forcing high quality mineral/energy deposits to spawn on planets with those modifiers.

Personally I love it. Taking systems actually matters again.

* Restored capital conversion when taking ownerships of planets

Fantastic! I noticed that capital buildings were incorrect when conquering between normal and gestalt empires. I'm hoping that existing saves will be affected as I happened to conquer a lot of gestalt owned planets as a regular empire.

Thanks PDX!

So the Strikecraft fix didn't make it into the hotfix?

Obviously not. I can't see it being a priority yet as you don't have to use them. Personally I'd rather see something done with Defence Platforms as I can rarely afford to buy them.

 

[kaboomz]

is the wrong habitability pop growing bug fixed on 2.2.4 and do those pops migrate to other planets where their habitability is better?

It doesn't appear to affect existing saves, as I had conquered 3 hive-mind worlds as a Machine RS and they're still hive capital buildings. Trying to see if there's a console command or effect script that would do the trick.

I asked because it was mentioned earlier in the thread that they had identified the bug for fixing. And sometimes patch notes are not always complete.

I'd also like to see something done to improve platforms but that would likely fall under a 'balance change' not so much a 'bug fix'.

 

[Karaya 1]

So i was wondering, is it WAD/WAI that hive minds cant change the "Planetary administration" of conquered planets to a Hive nexus and therefore cant build research buildings and have weird jobs they dont need there ?

 

[ogos123]

Is it possible to get a fix for the ai empires they keep switching their scientist on a daily basis.

 

[hadaev]

Confirmed.

Could you explain about districts.
If I add my districts in the file with !! in the name then it take precedence over vanilla and show in planet interface.
Will something bad happen with it? Like can ai interact with district not shown in interface?
As a bonus, I would like to request the best api for adding new districts, for example, through weights, so planet will have 4 districts with higher weights.


Hm, now weights seems not best idea.
Basically, I would like to be able to replace districts by others.
For example, for my special planet, I would like an city, energy and mineral districts, and food one replace with my special type.
Not sure how best to implement it.

I am playing as xenophobe slaver empire. Exactly one month after loading post patch game the xenophile faction has spawned. With ONE pop. Now 11% of my entire population wishes to become xenophiles. Just because.

 

[Koopatin]

can someone confirm if indoctrination still works? i indoctinated 3 worlds for 20 or 30´years and not even once had a pop change ethics. (test branche)

 

[SuiciSpai]

This probably was happening before the beta, but looks like we have an overflow on some diplomatics calculations:

Yea, a new revolt state don't like to have a master with a couple of millions of fleet power. (I'm just waiting for the end game crisis.. I mean to stomp it hard)

 

[Hyomoto]

@roman566 - Look in your faction screen, you can look at the pull for Xenophile. At least you can see the causes. As a general rule, Xenophobia is a very delicate ethic: any exposure to other races can upset it. But, that's really no different from any ethic, in order to keep it "pure" you have to quite literally pursue it fanatically. In many ways it's probably easier to play a Xenophile slaver since they are happy to see new faces heading into the mines. Without isolationism, it's pretty hard to keep people from xeno attraction.
