Encyclopedia spec mis-matches (v3.53)

[donzi]

The encyclopedia is pretty huge and I kind of expect it to fall behind in ways or have typos and stuff.

I have no expectations that missing or other audio issues will be worked on so I'll limit this to realistic, important stat corrections and anything that doesn't sync with audio.

"=" denotes confirmation
(E) from in-game encyclopedia
(S) from a floating ship

Styrvok (Bulk & Liquid) -- (E) units 60 should be (?) units 126
= Styrvok (Bulk) -- (E) units 60 should be (S) units 102
= Styrvok (Container & Energy) -- (E) units 60 should be (S) units 126
Styrvok (Container) -- (E) units 60 should be (?) units 102
Styrvok (Energy) -- (E) units 60 should be (?) units 102
Styrvok (Liquid) -- (E) units 60 should be (?) units 102

The partial|unconfirmed Styrvok ships all had (E) units 60 in the encyclopedia, the (S|?) stats I added since it seemed obvious enough.

I'll expand on this if I come across additional mismatches.

The encyclopedia data is taken live from the same data that ships are created from. The only way there can be a mismatch (other than it reading completely the wrong value or calculating it from the available data incorrectly) is if you have old ships in your savegame that were created before changes were made (in a patch) to the data used for new ships. Try starting a new game and checking whether there are still mismatches; if not then it's just a case of old ships using old data.

Hi,

you're welcome to a save file. This is a new campaign start with v3.53.

Code: Select all

<info>
<save name="Autosave" date="1432273946"/>
<game version="353" build="193580" time="764968.364" start="ep1"/>
<difficulty current="hard" min="hard"/>
<player name="Ren Otani" location="{20005,56}" money="40988692"/>
</info>

I noticed this when I built a "Styrvok (Container & Energy)" and referenced the info via the ship dealer listing. I just loaded the game, selected the details for that ship I put in service, clicked the "i" at top left of the details display and, well, it shows Unit Capacity = 60.

The ship detail display shows Units xx/126.. so I guess the game is reading the wrong value or calculating it wrong.

To cover the bases I:

1. ran the steam verify game files - no difference in existing v3.53 vanilla game
2. began a new Aspiring Merchant game which supplied a quick Styrvok C+E to look at fwiw - no difference, encyclopedia shows units = 60, ship = 126

Considering this is about drones and the Styrvok I want to add that I have done a lot of manual trades with the Stryvok line of ships and I have never seen them use more than 10 cargolifter drones. Figured perhaps there is a connection.
