Adjusting station funds via Logical Overview does not update said overview - Fix in a future build.

Post by radcapricorn »

Here's an image after I've given 200k credits to a station. As you can see, "Station Account" box hasn't changed to reflect that transfer.

EDIT: as there seems to be some confusion in this thread, this is how I'd expect that box to look like after I input 200000 via the slider, press "Confirm", and hear the cash ding.

EDIT#2: as there still seems to be some confusion, here's a damned video. :)

I know when I transfer funds to the station it immediately doesn't always reflect the balance. That money in that account also gets used. So it could have been used and you have to restock. When I build a station as I continue to add stuff to it that account changes and I always have to put more money into it. I now have a station that maintains that balance by itself. Im not entirely sure what mechanic is actually going on maybe somebody else will know but you could explain in more detail exactly what is going on have you tried to put money into it multiple times with no change?

It's not about that at all. Look at the screenshot. The "Station Account" box header shows "76,553/135k Cr". I've just put exactly 200k Cr via the eponymous input slider. The money's been sent. But the header hasn't changed.

I know exactly what your talking about I would put money in there and the slider wouldn't reflect it but the money was in there. The station account below it reflects $200,000 though.

Logical Overview does not show your actual station budget. It is only a suggestion made to you of the sort of budget that you might need to set up with your Station Manager.

Yes, it does. The 76,553 is exactly the amount it had before I sent the money :)

Changelog:

v2.00 Improved Logical Station Overview to show station's recommended budget instead of the currently needed money in account settings.

Compare the two screenshots in the now updated OP. :roll:

Recommended (production) budget is 135k. Before sending the money, the box is not filled and shows 76,553/135k. After sending the money, it still is not filled and shows 76,553/135k, whereas it should be full and show 200k/135k. I don't know how can I make this any clearer :P

I can only say that a dev explained that the LSO figure was an indicative budget recommendation only and was neither the actual set station manager's budget nor the amount of money that the the station actually needed for production/resources at that time. In the light of that statement, the fact that the LSO figure does not change without the station composition changing seems quite logical.

I do agree though that how the LSO figure is first being obtained and what its display format quite means is not addressed there.

Well, the notation "76,553/135 kCr" is pretty clear. It usually means "76,553 out of 135,000". So unless they want to reinvent the meaning of that notation, I posit that's a bug.

Or, it could even be read by some as 'I the mighty LSO recommend that you give this station somewhat more than 50% of its worst case production budget at this stage of its expansion and capacity'. (Probably a totally incorrect interpretation of the figures but still it looks good when put that way. :D )

(AKA: I only report what the dev said and I don't try to justify it. :wink: )

Right, so your only issue is that the the overview of the LSO (overview of the Overview) is not updating even though the underlying production, supply and account held totals are shown correctly. You are expecting to see it change immediately to either 200/135 or perhaps 135/135 to say that the recommendation has been surpassed or met.

Yes, my "only" issue is that the UI does not update as it should. :)

Don't take this personally. It is a bug, bugs need to be reported. You never know when a seemingly insignificant issue might uncover a more serious problem.

I completely understand I just wanted to let you know it wont impact your game in any meaningful way at least that's been my experience. Was only trying to ease your mind. :) :) :)

The point of this sub-forum is reporting issues. We can't know how something will or will not affect the game, not for certain anyway. So we should keep to the point and not get carried away.

Roger. I was just treating it like how I would have wanted to be treated. Someone that has experienced the same thing and assured me that it didn't affect their experience I just find that helpful everyone is different though. Measuring someone's intentions and expectations online can be tricky through text.
