Update has changed system layouts
« on: July 17, 2014, 07:46:53 pm »
It was a bright and sunny day...

And then I installed the latest beta.



???

Before:



After:



Interestingly enough, this only seems to of affected the systems under my control.

I have attached the saves.   Assuming I didn't derp up, the first one should be from before the latest patch, and the second one after.



Yay I now have just over 2 minutes to re-do my entire defense grid

When I look at the first save it seems to be from 7.035.  There were a bunch of changes after that that affected wormhole placement, notably 7.041 (about 4 weeks ago) which finally made wormhole placement something that's saved with the game rather than regenerated every load.  In other words it shouldn't happen anymore :)

For your immediate situation I'm sure you can arrange a suitably unpleasant and entirely coincidental accident for your incoming visitors.

How about extending that change to wormholes to metal deposits as well? No more resetting harvesters when things change!

I did that when I did the wormholes, actually :)  Took a couple of versions to get right, but iirc it's been working fine since.
