Kunan: Is it possible to get the stockpiled production counts for each colony to be listed on the colony list screen, under the text for current production item?
probably, not sure it has enough space though
Kunan: Is there any way to control the order the colonies are scrolled through when using the < > keys on the colony screen? I assume that currently it's going through them using the order the colonies are in on the internal array, but it sure would be handy to have it follow the sort order used on the colony list screen.
yes, that's an ugly thing, we plan to fix it
townltu: According to changelog pre 1.50xx saves are compatible with new exe,
but will pre 1.50 .exe also handle 1.50.xx saves correctly?
From manual, compatibility:
Save files created by any version of 1.50 can be loaded by any other version of 1.50 and by classic 1.31/1.40
So you can open save with old exe, resave and then edit it, should not cause any problems gamewise. It WILL strip extra info, but as of 1.50.5 extra info is just exe/save versions.
Eventually we might add some game info there, so I'd rather prefer the author of save editor to keep unknown parts of save files. I could fix it, but AFAIK there is no source.
townltu: Could you increase or remove the limit of population transports,
and/or increase their and the leaders travel speed with research of star gate?
Jump gate also would be even greater and make that tech more desireable for players.
All changes are planned but have different viability.
1. increasing the freighted pop limit is unlikely to happen soon, requires much code change and further save format extension
2. about leaders the plan was to simulate catching up with the fleet as if leader was following it on an invisible ship. A bit easier.
3. increasing freighted pop speed should be easy.
alex.123: Should not happen unless AI has very high research on that colony, which is unlikely. Can be checked by pressing ALT-X and examining colony in question. Can you provide a save?
srhill: Neglected to keep one, though I'll keep an eye out in case it happens again. I do remember that the plague was cured on the next turn, so maybe they were dumping research into it.
Forgot to mention that ALT-X (switch player) counts as cheat, so be careful if you value your score.
