[quote who="ckhenson" reply="2" id="3502465"] Has it come out yet? I haven't seen it yet and it's 14:00 EDT here. [/quote] I have got it. But it still identifies itself in the main menu windows as version 0.50. The executable is version 0.51.3, and quite some resources have been updated. So i assume that the shown version number has not been corrected.

[quote]the result of this is that Iridia is now producing 103k wealth per turn [/quote] Actually you arrive at 103k wealth per turn only because the economic star base module bug is still in the game. If you correct for this bug the wealth generated will be (102995.2 * 3.85 / 5.6 + 230 - 122.7 = 70916.5) about 71k per turn. Furthermore Iridia is a massive planet (after terraforming) therefor the adjacency bonuses come (exponentially) into play for the production on top of

[quote who="davrovana" reply="2" id="3502029"] What is a shafer button? [/quote] Trojasmic is quite right that it is an end turn button, but with a twist: as long as there are still actions possible/needed to be taken, the button will tell you (or take you there). For example if you have a unit that still can move or a city that is idle, the butt

Known bug. Paul stated in a dev feed that it would be fixed, probably in Beta 2 patch 1. youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Kv54n2qzI&list=UUUCMPd9b70oNX51guypaYhw around 46:30 Edit: Sorry Avatar137, apparently you answered while i was looking up the time mark in the dev feed. I did not see your answer. My apologies.

Curse of the Tribbles (Strategic spell) - Summon a single 'unit' of Tribbles. Tribbles roam the country and will multiply every so often turns (by spawning a new 'unit of' Tribbles), and in doing so will turn fertile land into barren grounds. Kill them fast or live in a barren world. It would be fun that if it would go on unchecked for a long period the land would swarm with them (and be utterly barren), and for every step you take you have to car

Larsenex , On the right hand side of the main view you should see a rally point tab. There you find the "Create new rally point" button. With a selected rally point, you see in the rally point info panel (bottom left of the main screen) a "Move" button. If you don't see this you have another problem. <img style="vertical-align: baseline;" src="https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/3109/5hn56aahqt4mn7n6g.jpg"

[quote who="Gilmoy" reply="1" id="3501605"] I abuse this in a different way. You can teleport items from any unit to any other unit (anywhere on the map) instantaneously. In your global inventory, amass one pile of stuff sufficient to equip your largest group. As you select each group, have them equip from the pile. Move and fight with them. When that group is done, go back to them and have them unequip everything. Your rings and good armor can pay o

Ray, Sorry, but because of massive amount of hangs (since Beta 2 [.50]) i have already deleted my save games (except a save just prior this issue). Actually to see if i could get this version to run without hanging (not crashing) on almost every turn, i have gone as far as completely uninstalling the game and steam; and reinstalling everything from scratch. So the output from the support tool would be out-of-sync with the game save. I have already created a ticket without the
