Can't gift Planets
« on: February 25, 2012, 12:29:53 pm »
Hi,

I tried gifting planets. Doesn't work. Probably a Bug?

Are you on the latest beta patch?  If it was a bug, it was fixed by then I'm sure.

Also: you can't gift ships that would cause your energy to go negative, and command stations produce some energy.  So if you're very low on energy, that could be why.

Yes, on latest beta (5 027). I am clicking on gift station, it says 'can be gifted 1:1' and then it won't work. It was a mark 1 station (so no unit cap) and i was offered the OK question.

I could gift colony ships fine though.


When i was playing this game one year ago with a friend, it didn't work either, though. Maybe a problem with german localisation?

Shouldn't be a german loca thing.  Do you have enough spare energy that if you gift that station you won't fall below 0 net energy?

I had over 200k energy, so I am quite certain that I did have enough.

We just got squashed by the Ai though and are taking a break, so I can't double check.

From the folder with the AIWar.exe file (which varies based on where you installed it and/or got the game), it's in RuntimeData/Saves/ :)

Wouldn't be THAT much of an issue if destroying your command station wouldn't kill everything. If you destroy your station, you also lose all your reactors and all your colony ships afaik (which is stupid).

I don't think you lost your reactors though I could just be wrong about (let me know if it's doing that), but we just removed the rule about killing the colony ships (which wasn't stupid, it was to avoid exploits involving extremely rapid rebuilds that would tie the AI up artificially) in favor of a more direct "you have to wait X seconds before you can recolonize" rule when we made command stations rebuildable.

Anyway, posting here to let you know that the gifting-command-stations-not-working bug has been fixed as of 5.039, which was released earlier this evening :)
