Sunlight goes over 100% when entering multicellular with 2x game speed, OpenGL Mode, 0.8.2.1

AnthropocenianAge · August 12, 2025, 5:31am

I noticed that when I entered the Multicellular stage with the 2x game speed on, the amount of sunlight goes above 100%. The highest I have seen is 132%. Note I was playing on OpenGL Mode, since it the game actually plays smoother than using my very old NVidia GeForce 840M.

This bug continued for several generations in Multicellular. I also loaded the save from before becoming Multicellular, and the same sunlight bug occurs.

Here is the relevant portions of the gamelog.

When this bug happened again, I noticed the “World time scale is higher than we have the processing power for” text came again on the log out.

I think the log you included starts too late, because it is most likely the problem is caused by the glaciation event not ending properly and resetting things. Also the world time scale message is caused by you trying to run the game at 2x speed but your CPU is too weak to actually process the game so fast.

With the RC we’ve gotten new reports about the sunlight ending values being incorrect in some situations after events ending. As the author of the glaciation event has not had time to fix the problem yet, I’ve opened an issue tracking the problem:

github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive

Refactor environmental events ending to recalculate conditions from scratch

opened 02:05PM - 11 Aug 25 UTC

hhyyrylainen

intermediate programming bug C# stage:microbe

As we get regular reports about the sunlight ending at a value like 133% or 60% …after an event ends. I think we need to refactor the condition changing so that we have one piece of code that is given the active events and then it calculates the effective values, rather than trying to apply a change and then revert it with math as that approach seems to cause problems relatively often.

That’s totally expected as the glaciation event is likely the thing that causes the problem. So it is actually more likely for the bug to appear in the microbe stage.
