Posted 1718 days ago
The final countdown is now underway!
Note that there are still many bugs and issues, but I have decided to push Phase III live regardless and fix things in the next few days instead of delaying further.

Current activity:

Completed:
  • Removing abandoned planets
  • Bugfix: Duplicate Artifacts could spawn if created within the same tick
  • Bugfix: Durstenfeld shuffle was not shuffling properly
  • Bugfix: Another issue with converting stockpiles
  • Bugfix: Artifacts could spawn with more than 15 modifiers
  • Updating graphics
  • Updating descriptions
  • Adding missing graphics
  • Bugfix: Division by zero if stockpiles were empty
  • Bugfix: Missing city-centers
  • Spawning treasures
  • Database conversion to Phase III+ format
  • Database backup

  • Fixed chat becoming invisible when switching channels
  • Fixed chat history appearing offset

SERVER
  • All Planet Services now stop if another Planet Service has crashed and is in the process of recovering in order to prevent unfair advantages
  • All Planet Services now stop if the Data Relay Service crashes to prevent planets from being processed if players can't see them

Additional notes:
The Ecumenopolis feature has been postponed in order to leave more time to fine-tune production rates and resource collection. This is so that I can make sure the cost of an Ecumenopolis accurately reflect the mechanics it unlocks.
