0.7.1 General Feedback Thread

Since I enabled experimental features, I have noticed that most compounds decrease in the world, especially Ammonia and Phosphate. I am not sure if the rate of decrease is faster than without experimental features turned on, so I am unable to comment on that aspect. Also, since I am playing on large worlds, I do not stay in one patch beyond one turn. Perhaps I will see a better impact of dynamic compounds on future playthroughs.

Actually, ammonia or phosphates do not change at all without experimental features enabled.

@AnthropocenianAge

I have noticed that organisms containing Rusticyanin, with experimental features turned on, they tend to use the Sidreopore in the same way as toxins. They fire at me and other non-self organisms using the Sidreopore, and I noticed this as well in the previous version. I am not sure if this is intended behavior.

One of the reasons why siderophore is not enabled by default is that the AI needs a lot of improvement.

@AnthropocenianAge

Even though I play with Chitin membrane, which means I cannot be digested, Prokaryotic organisms still want to eat me. Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the AI will not go after organisms that have non-digestible membranes. I normally play as the smallest organism possible, so I wonder if there is still some conflict with Predation Behavior and Membrane type in the game.

This is correct. Can the AI actually digest you? They can if they have the right lysosomes. It should be impossible for AI to turn on engulf mode and try to eat something they cannot digest, but it could be that the AI just happened to try to eat something and run into you.

@AnthropocenianAge

After the 13th turn, when the game was saving for the fourteenth turn, my game bugged out. While saving on the 14th generation, the game automatically opened the Thriveopedia for no reason. I had to close the Thriveopedia, and then the autosaving continued. I will send you the log and my save later.

Does it happen every time? From the log:

ERROR: Scene instance is missing.
ERROR: at: (scene/resources/packed_scene.cpp:244)
ERROR: Failed to load Thriveopedia page Museum due to scene instantiate failure

It seems like another variant of:

Godot scene loading with NodePaths seemingly fails randomly after some time

or

Editor screen fails to load anything randomly

@AnthropocenianAge

Will there be a patch for 0.7.1.0? I noticed that there was no patch for 0.7.0.0. I am not surprised, since 0.7.0.0 was very polished. I just want to make sure I am not missing any update. Everyone appreciates the time the developers take to improve the game.

Most likely not. At least so far no major bugs have been reported that could be quickly fixed (as the major problems again seem to be the engine scene loading failures).

Oxygen and CO2 both stay so low so that rusticyanin, photosynthesis, and metabolosomes all became unviable and I’m forced to became a predator with hydrogenase

Tell that to the people who have managed to get to 80% oxygen… (and broke the display in the process by causing the percentages to add to more than 100). But yeah, there’s more tweaking needed to the dynamic compounds system.
