R189 bug(s)?

[rayj]

Hello! This roguelike has become a fast favorite. However, this latest update, on Windows 7, seems largely unplayable.

Minor: when generating a new galaxy, generation seems to require keypresses to complete (or I could just be impatient?). Does worldgen require some entropy to complete?

Major: The game starts with 10,000,000 credits. Nice, but probably not correct, unless I'm starting in some wizard-mode.

More Major: When setting down on a new planet, no lifeforms appear...but there are lifeform messages spamming the message log. After moving about on the planet for awhile, the entire away team gets wiped out by some apparently non-existant lifeform, instantaneously, without a combat sequence. This has occurred three times in a row so far...

I don't see where to enable a log, but have attached my last save file.

Thanks for your efforts on this game; even at the last version I've played (r186, I think), it feels like one of the best...

Prospector Bugs

A1 Death by steam, smoke, acid, ammonia, geysers, volcanoes,earthquake, traps and short thrown grenades all end instantaneously without damage shown, high radiation levels also do this but I expected radiation to kill me. Usually the game ends with a red “The awayteam has been destroyed” message but these are the exception. (This bug does not occur while exploring stranded/abandoned ships on the planets.) I think it might be creatures that are attacking you but cannot path to and you move out of range / sight . I received a “captain got killed by a on an unknown world after 7:20” message after moving out of range of a squatter centipede in the basement of a small space station. Another theory might be that the attacking animal is out of sight and then offloaded or removed from the map but still considered attacking. Stacks of creatures offloaded in the same tile might also be a cause.

C1 Purchasing broken rovers from mudd's and trying to sell the wrecks to the bot-bin. Instead of removing the wrecks from your inventory it removes random pieces of equipment.

C2 Space stations fight huge fast ships constantly in the late game.
-Huge fast ships also sometimes mislabeled as space stations.
C3 Fish do not have a tile in the graphics pack.

C4 Alien scout ships do not have a tile in the graphics pack when stranded.

B1 (Possibly intended) Ship damage when moving through clear explored space similar to traveling through gas clouds or being struck by enemy fire. There are points in space where each time you enter that tile it damages the ship. I moved off and on about 20 times to make sure.

C5 Officers are immune to death from crew quarters explosions only noticed this because I had 10 crew total and received 2 crew quarters hit messages back to back for 5 crew members killed and 4 crew members killed. I expected the captain to be the only one left but all the officers were alive.

C6 When looting stranded/abandoned ships you can remove the same level engine/sensor/shields without the message “you already have this level of equipment” just like the message you receive when you try to remove a piece that is worse than your current equipment . I don't believe that multiple sensors of the same level stack.

A2 Crash when selecting the “have a drink” option in casinos. Can't determine cause

B2 Planet maps are mostly inaccessible in the logbook. Previously scanned maps are there but it will only show you the first one you select, after that it show only that planets map when viewing other planets.

B3 All shops have connected inventories. If you visit one mudds shop you seen all the inventory in every mudds shop until inventories are updated.

C7 General overhauls only fix a single problem each time, if it's fixing structural damage good but not “The inspection reveals some minor flaws. Luckily they were quickly fixed. (x60)” Which means that the over haul only fixes one minor problem each time. These should probably be fixed in groups at the very least.

C8 At some point in the game(after 50 or 60 days) the quests to transport people from one station to another becomes “can you get me to station-2 by day 2982593, 10:08. He offers you 309 credits and 5 credits per day he arrive early”, upon finishing they always say I arrived late which is not possible.

C9 (Possibly Intended) Different areas on a planet have more inspectable plants. Inpecting vegetation on the planets surface gives you biodata points, inspecting vegetation at he stranded ship will give you points even if you inspected all the vegetation on the planet. The same is true for natural tunnels on the same planet.

C10 Once you have killed the green humanoid monster in the mushroom caves on the special planet with little green men. The green men on the surface no longer say anything when 'c' chatting with them.

C11 The + - scroll bar on the away team interface does not scroll the description of the individual crew member, it moves the selection box up and down.

C12 The first time you acquire a jetpack you have zero fuel for it and it displays half, low and reserve messages for it even though you do not have enough jetpacks to use it as transportation.

C13 Purchasing anything from the sickbay will exit you from the buy supplies menu and put you back in the sickbay menu. Also true for purchasing ship modules and sensors .

C14 Ground Penetrating Radar does not actually provide vision through walls or benefit vision in any way.

B4 (Possibly Intended) Using non-lethal does not immobilize or incapacitate creatures, they still fight back even while showing the pink asleep icon.

C15 Some Patrol quests do not have coordinates to move to and qive you the reward as soon as it is assigned.

B5 Enemies appear in walls upon loading.

B6 Robot crew members use oxygen and suffocate, they cant use suits so they bring down the average oxygen a lot. They also do not add to firearms or melee totals.

C16 When filling oxygen at a source away from the ship or breathable area, the warning message only occurs once.

C17 Casinos on planets have station commanders. (maybe they are on holiday?)

C18 What are titles for?

C19 Small space stations are not in the logbook.

C20 When acid proofing multiple items of the same type the prefix of acidproof is not shown in the inventory but the effect is still applied. The Prefix is still correct in the awayteam interface.

C21 Combat gloves cannot have improved accuracy from the customization shop.
-The custom is not in the list of buildings when docking at a location with multiple shops, etc.
C22 Multiple grenade launchers of varying prices, sold for 1000, 1400, and 1600 all in the same shop

A3 Attempting to land on the planet orbiting a wormhole causes a crash.

C23 Wormholes discovered through use of the navigation artifact do not appear correctly in the logbook.

A4 The system can't hold more than about 120 planets attempting to scan or land on new planets will cause a crash EVERY time.

S1 Should probably add some min and max values for map generation in the configuration (71 stars required to generate map)

C24 You cannot specify which landing pad to use on a planet with more than one.

B7 Invisible objects and enemies can still be seen by “x” examining the squares in your sight range or using the 'f ' fire and then '0' divide fire to target all invisible targets in your sight.

B8 When traversing gasclouds you can receive negative damage resulting in Your HP increasing.

B9 When strafing between the 60:X lineand the 0:X line creatures are offloaded even when they should still be visible. I think the game believes the character is greater than 60 tiles away and so the creature is removed from the map.

C25 You cannot teleport over the 60 -> 0 line either.

S2 Dose heavy combat armor really get a strength and speed bonus?
-Should it be shown as Strength+ in the description of the item?

C26 You can acidproof the same item twice for an acidproof acidproof item

C27 Player customized items have capitalized prefixes “Acidproof v. acidproof ” items bought with the prefix already applied have lowercase letters.

A5 When loading the game from a position in space the save is deleted and if the game is closed the save is lost. Possibly caused by the system that removes the ship to space on closing the game while on planet or part of the permadeath code.

C28 Using the scan command with a comm. satellite while no ore deposits are present on the planet gives you a false location of ore with a random coodinate. The coordinate given is constant throughout each savegame.

B10 Saving while your ship is changing locations on planet will remove the ship from the map entirely once loaded.

C29 Firing weapons during ship to ship combat the message log incorrectly writes a non-weapon firing on enemy ships.

A = crash bug
B = major bug
C = minor bug
S = Suggestion

All bugs were found while playing the vR189win version of the game.

Some of these occurred only once and it would be helpful if others could confirm some of these.

Great game

Wow, that's a frightening amount of bugs and the game seems not very stable it seems.
