Two weird things I noticed in my latest game...
« on: October 10, 2014, 06:10:17 am »
Having won my first game of TLF, I started a new one last night. :)  Awesome game, by the way.  I picked up the expansion, too.
But last night in my new game, I noticed two weird things that I'm pretty sure are bugs.  I'll post screenshots if I can recreate them.  All this was in 1.605.
Weird thing 1:  At some point, the "Twitter feed" along the bottom of the screen started tossing out a neverending series of messages from the Thoraxian Hive Queen saying "Disregard the old ways, the planet is now under my control."  Now that's the message you see when the Thoraxians have taken over a planet, but the Thoraxians had only just gotten into space (helped by a certain Hydral ;) ) and hadn't taken anything.  When I exited the game, the next time I opened it, the messages were gone.
Weird thing 2:  I got a quest offered from the Peltians to save a freighter from Pirates.  At the same time, there was another quest, which I accepted, thus rejecting the Peltians' quest.  When I concluded the other quest, the rejection notice for the "save freighter" quest said it was from the Obscura, not the Peltians.

I updated to the new version and loaded my last game, and I saw the Hive Queen problem again.
Save file attached.

For 1.608:

* Fixed a bug where the replacement of an overriding combat-side race (like Obscura) for the name/icon/etc of the parent node's owner was basically applying to every conceivable reference to that race (during the combat) rather than just those which are specific to the combat.

Thanks :)
