BETA 53 BETA 53: A JUNCTURE MOST UNNATURAL

I had the longest session in quite a while last night. I approve.

 

Very smooth sailing all around. Not a single crash or script error for me yet.

 

Day 24, everything's been pretty smooth so far.

Stuff I've noticed:
Weird blueprint bugs. They don't seem to affect module placement/usage, but there's a lot of graphical weirdness like this (sometimes even the full blueprint disappears, leaving just an outline)



This randomly stuck colonist:

There's been no combat in the colony yet, I just noticed she stopped moving when I got the starvation message.
(the only noteworthy things to happen where she's standing has been a lot of specters doing their spectry things earlier)
EDIT: The soldier died, but now no one is picking up the corpse, even if everyone is available for the job (there is an assignment in the list, but everyone ignores it).
EDIT UPDATE: After flattening a large swathe around the corpse, colonists finally buried the corpse.


I'm sure it's already logged, but module construction queues are still bugged occasionally, not clearing the queue on items that have already been built, or giving a completion message on "minimum #" orders (which results in the queue still being there, but no more production happens if the number of items dips again).

 

One oddity: a fox walked up to my stockpile and pilfered some sausages. The entire stack disappeared, but the inventory still listed them.

 

I reclaimed the log but it was never used or placed back in stockpile and it just stayed on the bench. It's happened before with glass bottles in the kitchen while making preserves, they just don't get forbidden like the log this time.

If the glass bottles or other items get stuck and are unusable again I'll provide you with the usual files.

 

Also, the lower class cabinets have one name when building them, but a different name in the decor menu. Simple and cheap

 

Building brick walls actually uses logs.
Blops.

 

Crash after a good ol' Quaggy event
(the event went fine, for the next day or so 3 people had a horrifying transformation, the game crashed shortly after the last one while I was reassigning labourers).
Console log is like 78 megs.

EDIT: Loading the autosave after the quaggy event crashes, but the one right before loads fine.
EDIT²: Added zipped console

 

If the console is too big, zip it.

 

Just curious, are you able to prevent the big Q from waking with any of the event options? Haven't seen it in this build yet, but I've never stopped it before.

Now that I think about it, there's shouldn't be a "one option always works" solution, otherwise every player would choose that to prevent catastrophe. It would just be nice to know why a certain option didn't work in that particular case. Like the counter ritual, for example.

Edit: Hmm, maybe the disturbance counter plays a role.

 

Nope, I've tried a couple of things now but quaggy appears fairly quickly.
The second time I did manage to beat him back with minimal damage to the colony though, so if you're ready for it it's actually manageable

EDIT:
GHOST FENCE!
I built a fence, then realized it was using wood instead of bricks so I tried to unbuild the fence. The colonists actually demolished the fence bits, but now after reloading this ghost fence is forever there (it doesn't seem to block pathing or building)
.

EDIT2:
Script error

 

Is 53A what was just pushed out to Steam, or is that a hotfix for nonexperimental?

 

Unable to clear individual gibs now ... part of the stamp clear only? If so, can we have it smaller or a pop-up to choose a few sizes? Don't want to clear gibs and mineral outcrops as well

 

Yes, a smaller stamp could be helpful...

 

I had a bandit raid.... Even with a barracks, my entire colony stepped in and dispatched the ruffians... 'Twas funny to watch the entire population go chasing after the last of them... Like a bunch of four year olds playing soccer...

 

Same here, just had the foreign invasion, every single colonist is still going up to pummel invaders.

Incidentally, Steam Knights are close to being useless, they appear in a random spot, then wander away, and somehow manage to be nowhere near any fights.
