UPDATE 2.1.1

It has worked for me after update. Maybe delete and re-install game. Good luck!

LordFoul

Buy colonists at market with lvl 7 intelligence or greater. Since players are breeding high lvl intelligence, you can get a good deal. Put them in police and then train them. I've seen them at only 300 credits.

LordFoul

Did you reinstall the game? There may be an error when updating files.

PANDORIUM

Hello. When I go into the farm hostel to train farmers. The training options does not load up all the way. I leave the hostel but my screen stays black. I can exit the game and start again and its fine again. Just training in farming seems to not load properly.

Antonio

The colony needs balance. You probably have a lot of extra colonists.

PANDORIUM

So many bugs in this new version. Police training is still broken. Crime is rising more and more even though I have all the officers possible in the game. These will have to be addressed very quickly for me to continue to play and support the game.

Fixed an error in police training. The reason for the error was due to the fact that the skills were not taken into account if you leave the game.

PANDORIUM

As I wrote earlier, the police do not solve all problems, only a little help. If you have a broken balance between factions, for example, many unemployed or vice versa, festivals do not help. We have to get rid of the extra colonists. We are now preparing a special system of hints to help you understand what to do. This is already being discussed on the Discord Channel.

PANDORIUM

We'll look for the cause of the mistake.

PANDORIUM

the mood and loyalty stats are constantly declining regardless of police levels or festivals thrown. not sure if its a bug or what but not a fan of the new social stats.

Just tried to train police. It is still not working. I upgrades to 2.1.1.4 prior to thraining.

Castinsteel

Can anyone confirm whether it is or is not safe to train police? I've wasted 12 good police candidates on this flawed build.

Castinsteel

I just trained 6 colonists to level 7. They had 7 intelligence. They are level 7 and still have 7 intelligence. Colonists that start with level 7 intelligence are rare. What can be done?

Castinsteel

I think it's a good solution to sell these colonists. That way you can even save money.

PANDORIUM

The money refund for the failed police training doesn't fix the fact that six of my colonists are level 7 and didn't get an intelligence boost. These colonists are now useless as they will cost too much to get get their intelligence to useful levels because of the increasing cost for training as levels increase. I doubt we can get the levels back but can you double the effect of training for a few days?

Castinsteel

last patch didnt fix the police training

ok thanks.

This problem will be solved today.

PANDORIUM

Such problems occur if you have a VPN or antivirus that blocks the connection. In normal game mode there should be no problems.

PANDORIUM

This problem will be solved today. There's a visual error.

PANDORIUM

cop training isnt fixed right ?

Am i the only one who still has constant disconnect problems? I have checked my internet connection and it works fine. :/

SirMalo

i trained cops to level 11 but their intelligence didn't raise.

As a bit of encouragement, I found after some initial problems that with Police all six at 6 intelligence my crime rate got under control and by running festivals got my rates up enough to stabilize.

Felix

it hasn't been added yet.

PANDORIUM

Anal Sex with Marina Dosen't work

The mood and loyalty drop still appears to be waaaay too fast; it feels like you would have to literally ride the computer 24/7 to even stand a chance of getting it to stabilize...<br>That combined with the apparent inability to train the police force and the crime rate escalating without any control is kinda frustrating.

Mystic

I thought the unemployed are those in allocation.

Stojan Jakotić

The problem of starting a new game has been solved. We made some changes, and now everything works fine.

PANDORIUM

Thanks. Can you confirm very quickly what's the 2.1.1.2 fix that just became available? (e.g. if Police training is fixed, to avoid wasting)

Felix

Who has problems starting a new game - We are solving this problem at the moment. I will report on progress.

PANDORIUM

Looks like we stuck at same problem mate

Probably an upgrade malfunction. If there is no download process (flashing dots) then reinstall the game.

PANDORIUM

Fellas I got Black Screen when I try to start New Game . Any solution for this ? Reinstalling AIR and game itself did not help :/

This is most likely a file error when updating. It's not supposed to be like this. If there are no blinking dots in the middle of the screen, then this is definitely an error. Remove the game folder and reinstall it. This solves the problem 100%.

PANDORIUM

so that's why you were gone for 2 days pretty much, no worries

Candy Worthy

Hey, guys! I'm sorry I haven't been in charge for a long time. I had no access to electricity, and I couldn't connect to the Internet. The programmers followed your comments and made changes in the errors that appeared. I hope that all the problems have been solved for now. The guys continue to study possible failures. I will study your comments and try to give a detailed answer.

PANDORIUM

I get a black screen everytime I try to enter the spaceport

The human mine workers now are displayed with the blue collar pieces of the police uniform, even if you strip them naked. Seems like things went awry and the wrong layer is being displayed there.

Talos

Reinstalled the game twice, Black Screen when I try to start a new game. And when I go to the city hall on my continued game from 0.1 the game crashes.

Volexay

I already said... The best is the enemy of the good. The idea is interesting, but the balance is completely absent. Current updates require a constant presence in the game. From light entertainment, the game turns into torture. I'd do a server rollback... PS. For some reason, mineral production fell sharply from 9,140 to 2,742...

My colony is dying as well :( Exactly 5 unemployed people (as in they're in hostel for breeding), 6 police officers (they could literally pair up with an unemployed and then some), negative mood, low loyalty, high crime .. Festivals don't even get me to positive mood anymore :(

wolfie

ahhh, the chaos.

LordFoul

Thanks for coordinating on everyone's behalf. couple of comments to add 1/ for anyone stuck at the "continue..." intro to the Police. Press the "Tab" button (or Ctrl +Tab) you will get a Yellow square around one of the functions/buttons on the screen, then just continue to press Tab till the yellow box is around "Continue..." and press "enter" key. 2/ Bug - when I try to check the Banking screen it does not fully fill and basically the games stops functioning. can't go forwards or back so have to close and reopen the game. 3/ More a question than anything else, I am a freeloader (sorry unemployed so can't support) - I have a Spaceport screen but there is nothing there. I have always presumed that area is for paying players only or am I missing something? Cheers

Im sure there are already others complaining about this but the loyalty drop is pretty harsh. Ive reduced my population to 164, I have both festivals runing, 6 police officers and yet my mood is st -10% for some reason, loyalty is droping like a rock and crime is skyrocketing. What is going on?

FooLord

For a game that's supposed to be about breeding. This new loyalty mechanic really doesn't want any breeding.

Ugg the mood and loyalty drop stupid fast, crime is increasing and cops are untrainable...<br>I reduced my colonist count from near 500 to less than 350 (still high compared to what the creators reccommend) and even with parties and such, my colony mood and loyalty are steadily heading for the sewer :(

Mystic

no

Hecatonchire

Did the 2.1.1.1 fix the police training?

Stojan Jakotić

I had the same problem, and at the suggestion of another Patron used the Tab key to cycle through the highlight-able commands. When the yellow box is around "Continue...", hit the enter key on your keyboard. These are the same workarounds for people playing Adobe Flash and Air games with no mouse, by the way.

PC

it wont let me continue from the comic strip, it just stops. the background and clock are moving just no way to continue.

So more bugs have appeared for everyone. Choosing New Game gives a black screen, people can't click continue to actually continue the game or a cut scene. kids don't grow into adulthood like they should. The bank UI crashes. Some people, me included didn't get a so called "cut scene for the police station". There's a lot of bugs in this update that was never there before to the already existing features. Explaining anything in this game has never been the best thing in the game as it usually is put on the people playing the game to figure it out and spread the word. like the engineering building needing a redo on the display map for buying areas. and a better explanation of what to do when buying farm beds. This update seems to lack enough and bug out enough that we can barely play it compared to before. I hope that an update is on it's way to fix these things and everything else i've mentioned before this. I get that there's a lot of new features and that could go against some old features so carefulness is important, bug hunting is a part of it and we're all here to help. So let's just give the benefit of the doubt that not everything is 100% perfect from the start and that things will be fixed, updated and more in the upcoming hot fixes.

Candy Worthy

My children are growing longer too.

LordFoul

BUG: I don't recall seeing someone mention this but in listing colonists in the market (first time since update) I found a strange bug where it appears the last few do not show on the screen , as if a page were missing from display.

Felix

Usually it takes 18 hours for a kid to grow up into adulthood. if it's more than that then there might be another problem.

Candy Worthy

Try to reinstall the game, delete the folder for the game as well so it doesn't complicate things when reinstalling

Candy Worthy

Had the same thing for me, a quick restart fixed it. just click esc and X out of the game is much faster.

Candy Worthy

did you run as admin? did you delete everything about the game from your computer first before reinstalling?

Candy Worthy

we've been asking that for months, so far it has not been updated

Candy Worthy

I'm the only one whose citizens have stopped growing up? Or is it a widespread problem? This is very inconvenient because I can't sell the children or transfer them to any faction. They just sit on the allocation centre, eat my food, and significantly increase the crime rate.

klifff

I am also having a black screen on new game. Win10, running in admin does not solve.

I also didn't get an intro comic for the security force; is there supposed to be one in the episodes?

Nevets87

when I click to navigate to the bank it doesn't load any information and clicking the return to town button doesn't do anything; the game is frozen there, so I have to click menu and exit the game and reload. Is this something y'all are working on? thanks

Nevets87

I didn't have the intro comic to the security force.... I just uploaded and build the police station in the enginering area. Did I miss something "interresting" with this comic intro ?

Hecatonchire

run in mac version of administrator

Mystic

I didn't have the intro comic to the security force.... I just uploaded and build the police station in the enginering area. Did I miss something "interresting" with this comic intro ?

Hecatonchire

I did the delete and re-download (to get past the continue issue) and I am having the same issue with the black screen.

So, if i try to start the game by clicking on "NEW GAME" the screen turn black and the game doesn't start. I play on MAC.

See Candy worthy above; Candy Worthy When the gardens are unlocked hear outside, walk to either of the garden beds, open the prompt screen, choose a product, click on the big square in the left bottom corner of the display and choose a worker. Wait for 2 hours then it'll automatically he put in your inventory for crafting

Felix

No, until there is another update assume not. 2.1.1 is current and it is broken.

Felix

Was training the policemen fixed? Still doesn't look like their intellect is increasing...

Talos

i dont get how to send farmers to a other sector to produce narus, sap ason and craft beer

So I updated today and continued my game. I got the opening intro comic to the security force, and when the Ranger is telling me to build a police station and the comic frame says "CONTINUE...", clicking does not advance, the game just freezes there. Mouse and keyboard commands do nothing. I've restarted it a few times, same thing. I guess I have to re-install?

PC

When can we expect a tool to get rid of large numbers of unneeded colonists? Since crime is already started to be implemented... I don't want to have to click through rouke sell hundreds of times

Actually the game is a connect and play once a day kind of deal. Don't bother the rest of the time

The mood decrease very fast... 0 this morning and -24 % 10 hours later ! Did 2 little festivals but the gain disapear very fast/ Crime still increasing even with 6 policemen in the police station (!) and colony loyalty still decreasing. I have only 120 colonist and all of them are working or breeding so I don't know what I can do to make things better. Hope the game won't turn into a "connect and play each 2 or 4 hours to progress" game because if it's so, I'll quit.

Hecatonchire

When the gardens are unlocked hear outside, walk to either of the garden beds, open the prompt screen, choose a product, click on the big square in the left bottom corner of the display and choose a worker. Wait for 2 hours then it'll automatically he put in your inventory for crafting

Candy Worthy

So how do i get the resources to produce beer and wine? I've unlocked the two available garden beds but i can't put workers on them nor do i get resources when the timer hits zero to give me food.

SirMalo

I noticed that even though the mine says I am making 10k less than I should, I actually am making all 13k. I also got around a mil back and the minerals too. I only noticed after reading your comment. I am also getting like 200 units from one farm plot and 190ish from the other even though it says Im only getting 20 and 19. If I had to I guess I think it is just missing off the last digit.

Dark Rooster

Apparently i was given back my minerals, i got 1 million back from last opening the game. i remember i spent them on upgrading the plots, i take it the devs gave out an apology? or just a bug not registering i bought the upgrades, either way i'm happy. So looking at the material production for the berries and grain. Although i gained 88 and 87 from each. i apparently only got it once because the timer for food production stopped as it doesn't count down from 2 hours. Is this a bug? a feature that wasn't explained, not even in FAQ? it seems like the game wants us to change what is produced and want us to spend money upgrading it constantly. that's not much profit of anything if you ask me from what i'm seeing.

Candy Worthy

I support this very much. So much information is lost when a new devpost is made. This entire conversation will likely be completely forgotten after the next dev post and all the information in it will go unnoticed. Discord will remedy that.

Dark Rooster

If a Discord server is established again and open for both public and patrons, like I said I would love to help manage it since apparently i don't have enough to manage lol. but it would bring the community closer for one, communication would be more frequent and bugs can be posted on the fly and talked about quickly. Overall a Discord would make communication between both the devs and the players a lot more fluent and frequent enough. some of us, like me are on almost all the time to help out.

Candy Worthy

A-and I was about to make the same comments LOL. I guess its a matter of hurry up and wait until after the uptates. Also, thanks for the tip regarding farm materials, though I would have preferred it if there was a plot for each respective material, but thats life, I can wait and see what happens.

Mystic

At the police station, the stats information is still shifted two levels down so we still can't see the proper stat level. Food production time for all the materials for beer and wine is 2 hours each, not the regular 4 hours for the food they eat. For some reason when clicking on inventory, then crafting for the first time, the information on the product shows 2 Grain Symbols, 1 Corn and 1 Hop, despite not clicking on Beer yet which fixes it until going in and out of "Crafting" again. By the looks of it, when leveling up the gardens, it's HIGHLY IMPORTANT to remember that you can only level it up for 1 product at a time, as if you change it it will reset to 1, although it's worth it, i would HIGHLY SUGGEST grinding up a good amount of that product before you switch again since you will be losing more money if you switch frequently. Even going from level 1-9 is expensive mineral and money vise actually. It will give you a prompt asking you if you are sure you want to change products because it will reset to level 1. i believe that's by design so that grinding is more recommended so no frequent changes are made for easy high moral. Depending on the level of your farmer chosen for each farm (Only 1) the amount you produce can double from the normal 3 to 6 even at level 1. Seems training the police officers are also a waste of time and money as of now since they don't increase intelligence or any stats except their level. i hope that if it's fixed that we get the stats we missed back as missing out on 9 intelligence for each of them would definitely suck. Apparently the "your colonist has been train" pop up screen appeared for one of the colonists when i wasn't even looking at him, i was looking at someone else instead and it appeared like that. Sometimes one of the civilian colonists glitch out and appears in front of another colonist, overlay bug by the looks of it. it's right outside of Allocation or appears sometimes when coming out from the Farm and/or Mine.

Candy Worthy

welp, time for another bug hunt, i'll bring the net

Candy Worthy

Crap I leveled the crop beds from 9 to 10 and the production went from like 200 units at level 9 to 20 units at level 10. WTF! The bed is not reset it actually still says level 10.

Dark Rooster

Possibly you did not assign a specific farmer inside the farm beds windows outside of the main farm. That was my initial mistake. You need one farmer for each (from some free in farm residence, different than the farmers working in the main farm). Could be more obvious... The other thing to watch out for is the leveling of the garden/farm bed. I leveled up naively not understanding at first that if you switch the sub-product you lose your level up. And you can only produce one input at a time (so for Beer, there are three needed; for Wine, two).

Felix

It looks like we can dismiss colonists after the last patch \o/ yea!

Dark Rooster

What do I need to do to get crafting materials? I built the two farm beds. Is there something else I need to do?

Dark Rooster

I think a new Bug / Observation: there doesn't seem to be a way in Police station to edit Colonist name. for me since I have a naming system where I keep track of the colonists base skills (name.xx.yy.zz. [etc]) wee bit annoying

Felix

The materials should be listed with the red marked numbers on the crafting requirement, the left side is what you needs while the right side is what you have in stock

Candy Worthy

kk thanks

We're already working on our mistakes. I'm asking for a little patience.

PANDORIUM

Got an annoying bug, losing concection when trying to sell excess colonists to Monk

I built the farming beds for the new crops and waited for the 4 hour cycle to complete. However I cant find where to see how much Ive made. I dont think I have made any becuase I dont see any in the materials section of the crafting screen. And there is none available for me to sell on the marketplace. ALthough somone has figured it out as I can see materials for crafting being sold on the market. Am I missing something else than needs to happen or do I need to wait more then the 4 hour cycle?

Dark Rooster

Yes. Thank you very much. We're already working on our mistakes.

PANDORIUM

While I agree with you totally. I typically give people a little slack. I would not want to google translate every post. The only reason I thought this is I am pretty sure the dev has to do that.

Dark Rooster

for everyone who can't read or have a problem with the game, majority of your problems have been answered in the same comment section, all you have to do is look at the previous comments and the answer to your problems are there

Candy Worthy

read the comments before you ask, it has been mentioned several times, the answer is yes

Candy Worthy

Does the game lose connection to the servers when anyone else tries to dismiss a collonalist?

FooLord

haven't you always lost food per cycle? i seem to remember you saying so, unless it got worse after this update, in any case there's also a problem with dismissing colonists since it crashes the game so you're stuck for the time being.

Candy Worthy

there's a bug in the coding, should be fixed as soon as possible

Candy Worthy

seems to be a bug yeah, hopefully will be fixed sooner or later.

Candy Worthy

seems to be a bug yeah, hopefully will be fixed sooner or later.

Candy Worthy

all the new stuff, like crime and wellness i guess started at 50%, it's the most neutral place to start

Candy Worthy

you build it from the engineering building, one of the tabs inside should have it

Candy Worthy

Its the same place you built the farm and mine the first time you played the game. I forget what the building is called. Its like engineering or something like that.

Dark Rooster

How do you build the police station? I am unable to hire/assign the police. please help!

psyd2007

OK I found the new farming beds in the farm and the crafting window above the phone. Are there only two farming beds currently available?

Dark Rooster

I thought we were going to have a grace period before the negative effects started from crime. You told us you would do that so the super large colonies could adjust to the new features. Or is me losing nearly 1000 food per cycle the grace period. And its going to get way worse later after the grace period?

Dark Rooster

I got out of that screen by clicking on the word continue. I had to scratch my head for a moment to figure that out myself.

Dark Rooster

Hey everyone - any ideas how to get past the opening cartoon sequence? Once the frame reads "continue," the game does not do anything anymore. No amount of mouse-clicks lets me proceed any further. Any ideas?

Hello, same here, I gave 2 great trainings to 6 of my colonists but it had no effect on their intelligence. Money has been taken and they gained level but no intelligence ...

Sammy666

How do I make beer and any other ingredient for festivals?

Dark Rooster

The missing skill points from levelling my officers.. Are they going to be given to my colonists when the bug is fixed? Or have I screwed the 3 colonists I have that started with 10 Intelligence. The 3 colonists I bought from the market 3 and a half R/L years ago and kept around in my colony for the day when Intelligence was actually used for something. And why is Intelligence used for police skills. Have you met R/L police officers. Intelligence in not something that is associated with them at all.

Dark Rooster

I have the same problem - just freezes on me

Apparently my colony is made up of nothing but wall street bankers. My crime level is at 50% So I guess 1/2 my colonists are criminals. I wonder if the children being grown in the rapid aging vats are criminals as well. Hmm guilty of thought crime maybe?

Dark Rooster

The symbols in Allocation has changed but not anywhere else. My food "surplus" changed big time (app -500), what changed? When you train Police the Int doesn’t change, just the level.

How do you build the police station? Maybe the entire update failed to download. I'm not sure. I am unable to hire police. Please help.

I'm slowly taking on the leader role without trying to, that goes for anything really, i became the host for two servers, i'm the lead updater for one of them and i help others with their projects. i'm not sure what's going on and i'm not sure if i like it or not. i'm turning responsible...

Candy Worthy

I can't seem to update it. it loads to 100% in 1/71, and ... stops. Launcher version is 16.0.0

wolfie

If i remember right, it was written in a previous post that if they are in the allocation center, they are unemployed, if they are in hostels they may or may not be unemployed as well and might need to be put to actual work in mining and/or farms, not sure about the breeding camp but it's a necessary sacrifice for the greater good.

Candy Worthy

Bless your heart Candy.

LordFoul

That sounds like an excellent idea! maybe start a community discord or such? It'd also make it a lot clearer what the backers actually want and such

wolfie

How exactly is unemployment determined? Is it just assignment to faction or allocation meaning unemployment can be solved by dumping colonists into hostels. Or is it actively busy mining/pregnant. In that case, does training count? are breeding males always unemployed because they never get pregnant?

by the amount i write, maybe i should start posting for you guys as well :P someone to speak for the people and the community.

Candy Worthy

As stated by Talos and others there's a connection error when you try to dismiss anyone you don't want. Training Officers don't increase any stats only levels, bit of a disappointment. not sure what happened to Jim Witherspoon since i had no problem with that. the text on their stats do indeed glitch out for the police officers and the top two don't show any description. It's worth noting that colors and placement of stats in different zones don't match at all. I tried holding the plus sign when wanting to sell food or minerals and it doesn't go all the way to max. This is one thing that bugs me since i'm sure a lot of others as well don't want to sit there and click for minutes just to sell several hundred thousand food or minerals. sometimes millions for me. I'd suggest adding a "Sell Max" option or better yet add a 4th option being "Add 100k" to how much you want to sell or even buy. I'm not sure if the farm was UI or HUD was changed but it's quite detailed, i like that, can't buy more than 2 Sectors though might just be locked for the time being. The game wasn't very descriptive as to what to do when you even bought them, had to check around and saw that you had to go outside to the 2 plots and choose something to produce. I highly suggest making the engineering maps of the zones more clearer for what you can build and where they are on the map. because they are all the same color and blend in with the map it's hard to tell what is just detail and what is actually buildings to build. hovering over every thing isn't the best option, especially for new players that have no idea what they're doing. Spaceport i see is unlocked by the police station but of course is not in the game yet, that's fine. Keep working on that. Apparently when clicking on the spaceport it instantly goes out of full screen and crashes your game, no warning either. only happens sometimes. Clicking around the City is fine and all to make the character move, but maybe add some more fluent or smoother movement since it's a bit jagged, not really important, just a nice touch. It has been said before but selling and buying colonists should be updated to look the same as in the Monk when selling Hybrids There's a lot spelling error in a lot of the FAQs from time to time, might be because it goes from full screen to windowed full screen. a quick restart fixed it but it's worth checking out for all window sizes. First time going into the bank after update crashed the UI, quick restart fixed that. I'd suggest being more detailed about what intelligence is needed to get to specific ranks, i'm guessing since there's 10 ranks of security that each 10th intelligence increases rank and salary. There's a weird bug in the FAQ in the police where the "For Banker" and "For Customer" tabs blink in and out and can't be interacted with. A quick restart fixed that. It has also been mentioned several times before but still worth noting that training as of now is very time consuming and very costly as well. I'm sure you have all been planning this, who wouldn't. perhaps make some form of auto training for a certain amount of levels or how much money you put into them, either that or reward more EXP options, doesn't matter how costly each level is. I'm sure everyone would rather spend half a million on one training to level up 20 times than 100k on 50 training sessions to level up the same amount. because time is the most valuable thing us Gamers have. I think that should cover most errors i just found in a short amount of time, I'm sure if I dug deeper and tested several things I'd find more. Nice to see things have been worked on, that's a plus, hopefully next update will add more features and less random one-off bugs. For the time being I guess I'll have to train my officers, not sure what else to spend my 13 million credits on. while i have the money, I don't have much time daily to do it manually. More things might pop up that I forgot or see after this. I'll make another comment about it when it's needed.

Candy Worthy

Training a police increases their level but not their intellect.

Andersson

The mouseover text of the abilities on the police screen seem to be shifted down two steps - there is no text for the first two bars of abilities, and the blue bar that is intellect reads as strength (same with the other bars - they just have the text of what's two bars above).

Talos

Training police officers doesn't seem to increase their intellect.

Talos

yeah i tried that as well, seems to be a bug in the system.

Candy Worthy

I tried the new 2.1.1 version, cannot get passes the last sub page where they tell me to start hiring cops - shut down twice, still hangs up, is anyone else having any trouble ?

The very second I try to confirm dismissing any colonist by clicking the Yes button, I lose connection to the game. Tried it 8 times in a row and could consistently crash the game by trying to dismiss people.

Talos

This version has more technical than visual changes. Visual will be in the next updates.

PANDORIUM

In, exploring.

Felix

Thank you. I'd love to hear your ideas. We have planned a lot, but we have to do it in separate parts and it takes a lot of time.

PANDORIUM

That was sooner than I thought, nice work. Only took half a year or so. I will check out the update as soon as possible and see what has been changed and what could be improved or added for future reference unless you've already planned for that then at least it's out there.

Candy Worthy
