Racial colony bonuses not applied on reload

[feelotraveller]

The bonuses are not applied immediately on reload. The colony below should get bonuses from Yarras Marble, Gold and Emeros Crystal. It does once the game recalculates but in the meantime you miss out on them. This colony was at +1 happiness when saved but risks rebellion until the game refreshes the data. You also lose out on income, troops strength, sphere of influence extension, a minimal amout of research, as far as I can tell.

Edit: this is 1.7.0.4

Perhaps. But it is more general than that. The first screen was from a game started in 1.7.0.3 and continued in 1.7.0.4. But it happens also when this game is subsequently saved in 1.7.0.4. Another screen below. And that's not all. See the screen below for a game started in 1.7.0.4 (it was my test galaxy for energy collectors) and saved in 1.7.0.4. So basically it is happening to all saves I load up in 1.7.0.4 regardless of the version they were started in.

WiZz that is a new game not a reload.

[WiZz]

I had a new game too.
Create new games for Humans a few times, but could not catch this "bug"

[feelotraveller]

WiZz, create a new game for humans. Save the game and exit it. Then reload it. Do you see it now?

[WiZz]

Yes, I can in such way. But all of the bonuses returned in 2 game days. I think, it's not long.
Sorry for incomprehension [:D]

[feelotraveller]

It's not long but it can be up to 19 days (I think). Long enough for a rebellion to happen (game over if you only have your homeworld?) or more problematically, more than enough time for the computer to send miners/colony ships to planets which were in your sphere of influence but now are not. It happens every time you reload so if you, like me, often only get to play for half an hour or an hour at a time it mounts up. (You can workaround the happiness aspect - but not the SOI one - by reducing taxes and then pumping them back up as soon as your realise that the game has caught up. Still this adds extra to your income loss. Definitely needs fixing.

p.s. The homeworld at the start of the game forms the classic example since it has all the bonus resources and has not got anywhere to send them yet.

[Bingeling]

This bug could explain the "others build mines in my SOI" reported too. Maybe it is a distant relative of the "0 money at reload" issue which hardly matters as the game discovers the money and cashflow soon enough.

Thanks for the report

This is fixed in the next update - colonies have all resources bonuses immediately after loading a game

[feelotraveller]

Thank you for all your hard work. [:)]

[Data]

Legends just released and we're already at 1.7.0.5....don't know of any other game with this kind of support

All hail Elliot "Fixed in the next update" Gibbs [:)]
