[QUOTE=scratch (nl);41943368]What exactly do spaceports (spacestations) do, and why do I want them? Also, do they have to be refueled to prevent them from crashing back down on the planet? [editline]23rd August 2013[/editline] What things should I keep in mind when designing a spaceport?[/QUOTE] Spaceports can be a floating tiny cube in space, it doesn't matter. What matters is their tech level. High techlevels give a bigger radius around the station that it can trade with your ship. When you get within that range, you can hail your trade tab and trade with every single city in the system that has an airport. It also allows you to spawn ships that are larger than 21x21x5, since they must be spawned next to a station. If you are having trouble getting to your station, airports have transporters. The default model is bad so you might want to redesign it first. [editline]24th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=dracotonisamond;41945139]so, is there any ways to increase import rate or something? my city consumes a massive amount of metal and has very few ore veins and my moon is ore rich. but my moon cant seem to transfer faster than it can mine. more airports? that and the fact that now my main city is overpopulated, but more people keep moving in and making everything unhappy. so no more mines in it.[/QUOTE] Import rate can be increased by adding more brokers, up to 20 levels, to your city. Planets have a max population limit - check the size of your planet (in your city reports) and match it up to [url=http://hazeron.wikia.com/wiki/World]this chart[/url]. Then you can see what buildings you need to sustain happiness for that [url=http://www.raumkraut.net/hazeron/colonycalc.html]that number of homes.[/url] If you are getting over populated, you need to drop the number of homes to the max capacity, and then transfer pop off planet with ships.

Exploring and making claims for Crotia, will probably start building them up tomorrow. Once empires start getting more established we should look to form some alliances.

[QUOTE=lordoflard;41944868]Hey, if any of you guys still need an empire to join, we could use a few more helping hands in the Crotian empire. We're still at a pretty early stage if y'all want to work for your ships. The password is "ass" if anyones interested.[/QUOTE] Would it be feasible to reach you if I created my own empire first and then went to yours? I want to create my own race.

[QUOTE=Shuzup;41945634]Would it be feasible to reach you if I created my own empire first and then went to yours? I want to create my own race.[/QUOTE] When joining any empire now you still make your own race.

Huh. I seem to be stuck at Entering Hazeron. Might be because of the strange fiddling I did with the race settings.

Are spaces allowed in character names? Edit: Yeah, I seem to be stuck in Entering Hazeron, despite amending the character settings and not putting any spaces in my name. Strange.

[QUOTE=Shuzup;41945749]Are spaces allowed in character names?[/QUOTE] Should be. I'm also amazed at how well Theocracies work. Very flexible, though I can see it resulting in some dumb problems easily. [editline]23rd August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Shuzup;41945749] Yeah, I seem to be stuck in Entering Hazeron, despite amending the character settings and not putting any spaces in my name. Strange.[/QUOTE] Tried restarting the program?

I fixed it. I'm in the empire now, time to get to work.

[QUOTE=Shuzup;41945881]I fixed it. I'm in the empire now, time to get to work.[/QUOTE] Well I was just Limbo'd, can't help you out in-game now. :v:

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;41944908]The Mevian Dynasty is still looking for some folks too. We have a fair amount of materials and are almost at building rockets. Also high quality metal. well, not we. more specifically me right now. password is chipsrox[/QUOTE] Still looking for people.

I fucking love the fact that you can see cities from orbit (and vice versa for stuff in space) [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43645231/photos/games/SOH/cityfromspace.png[/t] glorious clusterfuck in full glory.

[QUOTE=Fausty;41944928]I feel like I'm the only person that enjoys a one man empire.[/QUOTE] That's what I'm running right now. It's pretty nice not having to explain why you're fucking awful at everything to somebody. Or why you have T32 Vulcamite Power Armor, and no they can't have any.

Servers down what do I do with my life now and what did I do before Hazeron?

[QUOTE=DeandreT;41946145]Servers down what do I do with my life now and what did I do before Hazeron?[/QUOTE] We never did go to the Moon. One day. [I]One day...[/I]

New update requires you to pay your ship crew.

[QUOTE=Pilotguy97;41946186]We never did go to the Moon. One day. [I]One day...[/I][/QUOTE] soon. very soon

[QUOTE=Tureis;41946243]New update requires you to pay your ship crew.[/QUOTE] Not that there's any consequences for not doing it, yet.

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;41946021]Still looking for people.[/QUOTE] i guess i could join you. I recently tried to get my friend into hazeron but he's being a cheeky fuck so i'll just abandon my current small amount of progress and join yours~

Made Icelandic Planetary Alliance just so I could obnoxiously name my stuff after completely intelligible Icelandic names. Eyjafjallajökull here I come. [editline]24th August 2013[/editline] Server's up!

[QUOTE]Infinite Bullion Production Fixed a bug that caused bullion production to fail to consume the metal/magmium/vulcium after running the process. This meant that a bullion process would produce infinite bullion once it was supplied with the materials needed to run only once. Existing bullion processes will resume normal operation; they don't have to be kicked or anything to fix them.[/QUOTE] Damn he fixed that. So much for making hundreds of millions for free. [QUOTE]Crew Maintenance Cost Spacecraft AI crew members (officers, crew and troops) now collect a wage from the ship fund. If the ship fund has inadequate money, back pay is accrued. Wages are paid every 12 hours, which is two weeks in "game universe" time as there are 28 game days per real day. Back pay is also paid out at that time, funds permitting. Wages for crew are calculated as follows, where xp is their number of experience points: Officer = (xp + 1) * 10 Crew = (xp + 1) * 5 Troop = (xp + 1) * 4 There is currently no negative consequence for leaving your crew unpaid. This will change to cause them to mutiny or abandon the ship soon. Make adjustments. Troops in cities do not currently have a maintenance cost.[/QUOTE] Well guess I am out. Gonna finish up research, take all the money, load up with my research, and bugger off. I'll probably return a while and see if it is less shit. :v:

What about the building collision box issue? Did he fix it?

[QUOTE=HeroicPillow;41946340]i guess i could join you. I recently tried to get my friend into hazeron but he's being a cheeky fuck so i'll just abandon my current small amount of progress and join yours~[/QUOTE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/UyJsTjT.png[/img] ehhh

[QUOTE=HeroicPillow;41946443][img]http://i.imgur.com/UyJsTjT.png[/img] ehhh[/QUOTE] I don't know what this means actually. I have a city and a capitol. Lemme test with a new character myself.

How long does it usually take for a server to come back after an update? I seem to be stuck in limbo.

Works for me: [img]https://hostr.co/file/dKxZsfTX4WYQ/Screenshot-on-2013-08-23-at-20.16.21.png[/img]

Try now.

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;41946595]Try now.[/QUOTE] nope still the same thing. I'll just create a temp empire, and you can invite me to the empire through a private chat channel in-game.

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;41946595]Try now.[/QUOTE] That's really, really weird. [editline]23rd August 2013[/editline] Maybe it's because you didn't refresh the join an empire page after I made my edits.
