Garland's Legacy - TTT

Star flares event! Triple energy next turn.

[binTravkin]

Flares are excellent news.
Will allow us to sign Planetary Trade Pact provided we have enough votes.
Since everyone is having plentiful commerce, I expect there to be little opposition.

The Data Angels are embarrassed to report a catastrophic technology failure this year.

On loading the turn, the display looked odd, the comms buttons did not work and we were forced to hit Esc to continue.

Then, on looking at our position, we found our SE settings dramatically different from where they should be. 6 mins per line on production, rather than 8. 3 food per line, rather than 5. Our research rate halved (we compared, it was 6 turns per tech rather than 3 turns). For one moment, we thought we had morphed into the Drones ...

Other functionality was compromised - we could not change research goal for example. We did not try moving any units.

This is extremely embarrassing because the advent of solar flares made this turn very complex - and very critical. So we saved the data and re-loaded. We should probably have downloaded the file again but in our confusion this did not occur to us. However, on the second attempt, the file loaded correctly so we cannot explain the difficulty. But we have kept the evidence!

We offer our humble apologies, but there seems no point in continuing to play the original turn so we regretfully submit the reload.

I'm pretty sick so it's possible that I play slower... sorry for that

Greetings Fellow Leaders!

I have loaded my turn but I've saved and exited without doing anything, so I can carry on with no problems if all is well but do solar flares only last for a year? I so rarely play with random events ... but I thought they lasted for a few years? My energy has returned to normal.

If that's ok then I'll carry on ... but I've just hit an industrial bust in one of my bases and it indicated that would carry on for 10 (?) years I think ...

Please let me know.

[binTravkin]

Yes, it's correct. Flares only last for a year.

[Misotu]

Thanks for that binTravkin. I've loaded the turn fine, no reloading messages ... but the SE settings are all wrong again. I feel very bad about this but it really isn't anything I'm doing!

In addition to the enhanced growth and production but decreased research I can't change doctors or workers into librarians. Only doctors are available as specialists.

I've tried reloading about five times now but it just won't work. I have a special Garland installation which I *always* use, so it's not that but I wonder if everyone is doing the same? Is it possible that someone is playing with the later Yitzi mod or something like that? Not that I'm trying to shift the blame or anything  but this is really embarrassing.

I will keep the turn in case anyone has a different view, but I think I'm going to have to download yet again and try from scratch as I'm not sure what will happen if I play on like this. I might get stuck as the Drones!

Apologies again.

[Misotu]

OK, you'll get a zillion reload messages but a fresh start worked fine. Except that one very beneficial random event that occurred at the beginning of my original turn was not repeated. Which was sad   

[binTravkin]

What was the combination to see the version I am having?
I have 2 versions of the game, one is latest and the other is not and I am using Garland on the one that is not.
IIRC it was 3.3, but it was some time ago I created it so better to check.

[Mart]

Yes, we use Yitzi 3.3

[Eldramatico]

I realized I used the wrong Yitzi patch, I reinstalled it all I hope this will solve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience in the case it was the cause.

since we do not have the fifth vote yet determined, we will have only 4 votes total.

We do not have to wait for the turn, everyone can cast a vote without having the turn.

No problem Eldramatico, it might not be related but thanks for sorting it out. Crossing my fingers
