UPDATE 1.8.3.4

For the change from 'selling' to Hire/Fire, regardless of the law issue, it's just better marketing. Even in game form to be honest, it is unnecessarily icky and an audience limiter. The reframing is better for you in the long run for a slightly wider audience (and no real change).

You have to sell them to Monk.

Hey sorry i ad no idea where to comment this i have a biologial threat in my colony and its not human or Sirian rather a Elloy ,how do i get get rid of it the options don't allow for me to remove mixed races.

since the first xmas update i have been getting desertion messages, but still have 93 new colonists every time. However, last night (sat) before i logged out i got curious and counted my freaks. i had 2 elloy ans 3 siellies. tonite, the freaks were nowhere to be found and i still had excess food and cash...

Good work :)

Crusain

Thx! :-)

Bart 74

We fixed your problem.

PANDORIUM

Problem solved. The problem was related to some quests and this did not allow some players to enter the game. Thank.

PANDORIUM

For those who can not enter the game. We found an error associated with the latest update. And some players who have some quests have an entry problem. We are working on the problem and I will inform after we solve the problem.

PANDORIUM

Perhaps a problem in the old launcher. If you have not downloaded the launcher for a long time, then you need to do this. Old launcher does not work. Before installing the game, remove the papka with the old game. Start a new game is not necessary. All data is stored on the server.

PANDORIUM

Hey guys. For the longest time I had troubles getting the game to run. I gave it another shot recently and it turns out it's running perfectly fine now (maybe one of your upfates - idk). The only problem I have is that my account is not working anymore. It tells me that either password or login is incorrect even if I copy paste them from the e-mail containing said information. Anything I can do about this? Or is there a way for me to delete my account? I'd like to keep my current e-mail and not create a new e-mail adress just to get a new account. There're already enough passwords I need to keep track of in my life :)

i just tried as admin, and nothing... still no connetcion with server... :-(

"It looks fine on my end" is not a consolation for those of us who can't play the game because it's not fine on our end. Also, making babies is the only gameplay loop and the entire design goal of your game, as best I can. It sounds to me like you have a programmatic problem of improper separation of concerns. Making a baby should just be updating data, that's easy for a computer to do, if it's harder then that, it's time to look at the process of how your code and graphics are intertwining, and consider decoupling many of the processes, particularly as these are time based and easy to calculate to process ahead of time so the only thing the client needs to do is get the latest child data. I handle this kind of thing every day as a web developer. Take the time to consider the structure of your program and particularly your animation process, because many aspects of your game are heavily slowed down by all the animations, many of which reduce the experience because we have to wait for the same thing to happen over and over and over. It's like the first time we see our drinks poured is nice, but the tenth time we're watching youtube while we wait for the animation to finish so we can move on. Imagine watching the same movie over and over. Would you enjoy it after the hundredth time?

Yes

Candy Worthy

i have the same problem with no server connection", yesterday couldn't whole day get to the colony, and no new born colonists...???should i try log in as a admin?

Bart 74

As for the bad connection to the server, I do not see a problem. Communication is stable and everything works as usual. Perhaps you have a large colony, and this is becoming a common problem. Because your game client handles all born children. Because of this, a timeout occurs and a message appears that there is no connection. We are thinking how to solve this problem. The only advice I can give is to give birth to fewer colonists :)

PANDORIUM

Oh no. There is no problem in the title. The law is aimed slightly at other directions and I think it does not concern us. Otherwise, Patreon would have already written me a letter. Last time for the possibility of Incest in the game, they asked for an explanation from us. By this, I think that this will not be a problem.

PANDORIUM

Just a quetion about the law. The problem is about the name? or about the job itlsef?

Tux Topo

The only thing I can think of that helps most people is to run the game as an admin. Rebooting in the past has helped after a patch for me, but that could have been a coincidence. If you had a lot of colonists give birth it will cause that as well, especially if they are giving birth while you are trying to log in. It can take me 5 hours to log in sometmes, but I have a lot of female breeders.

Dark Rooster

Yep. can confirm. Game starts, then as soon as we get to the colony screen, it goes 'Lost connection to game servers'. Whatever got changed made the game genuinely unplayable.

I have the latest launcher I can find - no joy

the new update does not let me log in anymore - game says "server unavailable" - any ideas how to fix?

or make an exotic dance club

I like both idases Rudolf, but I think Societrices is the best, as it can arrgued that it does not mean prostitute, where as a Geisha is seen a prostitute by a defferent name.

or make a temple of love . Priests and novice . novices = Temple-whores.

call them Geisha or Sociétrice. Trad. Geisha's should have a high Intellect and sexiness. Sociétrices only sexiness

I dont see anyone complaining. If you were refering to my advice, that is all it was. I think they have misunderstood what the laws function is and what it can and cannot do. The law was signed months ago and if it was going to effect them, Patreon would have been the first ones to tell them to change it. If anyhthing Patreon not advising them to change it is the biggest indicator that they need not worry as it would have put Patreon in breach of the law. And Patraon has a lot more to lose. Still not complaining, just saying I think they should not worry about this law as it doesnt effect them. And propoganda is allowed in the US. It is kind of the point of free speech. You are allowed to promote what ever you want as long as its peacful.

Dark Rooster

Just make them strippers. All you have to do is change a few words... instead of brothel its now a strip club. instead of prostitute, they are dancers. easy..

Dark Rooster

Well if it had to be done its no use complaining. The game will still be enjoyable. Also if you cant use the word prostitution or prostitute, then how about escort. Its not a prostituted but its similar and its a word that I think can pass.

Yeah, seems so. I still get booted off.

Brown Man

In regards to the prostitution career, why not reword it? How about calling it massage therapist? Instead of making a flat rate, they could have a donation range, like $50-$100 donated per massage. The more massage therapists, the bigger the range (plus $50 to range for every therapist), and the higher the skill, the higher the chance of making more money (10 skill=10% chance of $100). After all, all you had to do was reword the recruitment thing, why not the career?

Brown Man

Are the servers down still?

Dark Rooster

Thank

PANDORIUM

Thank. We will consider it.

PANDORIUM

I would also suggest you get someone you trust who does speak english to read more about the law and get thier advice. Rather than take my word for it.

Dark Rooster

I do have a question though... If you truely believe "Advocating" prostitution in a fictional game is going to cause probelms. Do I need to change the name of my colony from Brothelton to something else?

Dark Rooster

I doubt the US government will ban all mention of prostitution from popular culture as "propganda". There is nothing in the law that mentions portraying it in fictional media, ie art or entertainment which means games and movies, as being illegal. I am going to go out on a limb here and guess English is not your native tounge. I think you are misunderstanding the difference between Advertising and Advocating they are two different things, unless you plan on advertising or allowing other people to advertise r/l prostitutes within your game I am certain you are just fine. But, its your game m8.

Dark Rooster

I'm happy with these changes. Yeah it's fun to play a game with some slaves in it because it's just fiction but *actual* slavery (including sexual slavery) continues to this day and needs to be fully stopped. Please continue your hard work :D

ExDee

Just a suggestion. I think it will be cool for Biracial progeny to have inherited their parents physical traits. example: Blonde cornrows/afro, Dark Asian etc.

It's right :)

PANDORIUM

I think the government is fighting windmills. That is stupid of them. But they must somehow spend our taxes :)

PANDORIUM

Forewarned is forearmed

Doing the right and smart thing can be so depressing. The disconnect of reality and fiction seems to be clearer in the mind of consumers of the content, than for people judging over those sorts of things. Meanwhile the stuff they pass rarely solves any real issue, but cracks down on bystanders (in entertainment mostly) Heh-ironic-palpatine.jpeg
