[Bug] Assorted bugs (mostly trading/mining)

Post by The_42nd_Element »

After now 2x42 hours playing this game I decided to write down some of the bugs I have found.

Let's start of lightly:

[Bug] I'll wait for you until you tell me to undock.

When you teleport to a station, EVERY ship with a captain will politely WAIT for you ("I'll wait for you until you tell me to undock") and you have to tell every ship to 'carry on' with its current commands.
In the last 30 minutes I just told 16 ships to ♥♥♥♥ the ♥♥♥♥ off.
Please remove this 'feature' from the game - it is most aggravating.

[Bug] Auto-assigning multiple resources to mining/trading ships

(This is probably more a unwelcome feature than a bug)

When one assigns a mining ship to a station that requires two or more resources (e.g., Silicon and Ore), the 'mine for' ship automatically assigns BOTH resources to the auto-mining process.
I'm not going to explain on how many levels that is bad for the supply process.
If I decide that the miner should only mine silicon and nothing else, the miner needs to accept this decision and not override it 5 seconds later with assigning EVERY resource required at the station again.
This is also a problem with trade ships. They pick up everything that the station has to offer, even if it is material needed for production or medical/food supplies for their workers. Mostly they pick up 60 of whatever is first (usually e-cells) and that's all there is to the AI. Ultimately, we will probably need to be able to tell traders which items to buy and which items to sell when they TRADE FOR stations.

PLEASE let me decide which ship picks up which resource.

IMO, fixing this will fix most trading issues. I don't want the system to assume what I want it to do, I want to tell it what I want it to do.

[Bug] Upkeep mission after Captain transfer to Station Manager

I built a Silicon Wafer factory.
I docked a small ship with a captain at the factory.
I used 'comms' to tell the captain to be my manager at the factory.

So far so good.

Now I get a message every few seconds that I successfully transferred funds to the manager (with a creepy sound). (Mission successful)
The upkeep quest is connected to the small ships, NOT the station!
When I check the missions, it shows me that the manager should receive -6,626,236 to upkeep the factory. I cannot assign a negative amount and even the amount of 0 makes this mission successful. Sadly, the mission never goes away and I get this message every few seconds (10-15).

[Request] Idle status for objects in object list / property owned list.

We need an idle status for ships. Right now I have 10 ships not working and I suspect it's even more than that, judging from my income.
When you have over 20 miners and half of them suddenly stop working, one needs to know.
