RTS not working?

[Tyr Gunn]

Hiya,

I thought I would check this game out and I like it so far. First empire I started was on the normal speed server, but as I learned more and more I wanted more turns. :)

Naturally I started an empire on the RTS server. Weee! Lots of turns. However, it seems nothing is working. I've built up my Infrastructure, to a good starting level, then I popped over to research to pass some turns doing that. No problems there either, I was able to research... even was earning some income though it (No food or goods though).

However, nothing is happening to my colony like it did on the Normal speed server. Zero growth, zero production. I'm not even producing minerals. I'm not mining, or much of anything but taxing the existing population. :confused:

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or things move slower on the RTS server, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that something aint right. Of course, I fully expect the reply to this post to be a link pointing out to me that RTS is, indeed, not working right now. :)

there is a bug which does not process `colonies` for empires with 1 colony (typo in the algorithm, instead of >= i put >).

what caused this ?
this bug is caused by the new version.

what have been done
this problem have been fixed.

I haven't been online in a few day, came back to the RTS server and now with every production tick it says I have -345 goods, whereas before I left that number was positive. I can't tell any difference to my colonies, they still have the same number of industries as before, etc. Any ideas what happened?

Terrans now have +350% demand for goods. That's a good thing. :)

as our efforts to further balance the races, we have increased the demand for goods for terran, and increase the production of goods by a.miner. this is to encourage buy-sell activities and to help those two races.

please read the announcements in SF and the manual (manual > race)
