Picking up block that isn't spawned.

[Cassey]

Running 3.408 rev36403  (silent b release)

Some of my savefiles load ok, some going to graphics hell.

Current savefile plays for a few minutes, but then goes into terminal slows (screen scrolls in seconds per line).

Checked the debug windows and see:

Zeiph tried to reserve destroyed thing StoneBlock4327856 for Store
Zeiph picked up StoneBlock4327856 witch isn't spawned.

Not sure if those are normal are not.  Game is Random Randy, 300x300, and was going smooth.  I've seen thing briefly for a moment or two (like it was doing memory garbage collection), but its not recovering now.

Menu works, so managed to save it:  http://www.mediafire.com/download/nvcjb0nszx9mjny/Alpha3broken.zip  (1.4mb, so couldn't upload directly).

I recommend you download the silent-updated version, that may fix your unloadable games. See ludeon.com for more info.

As for the locking up, I have to look at the save.

I tried the save. It loaded fine in my dev version. I tried it with Alpha3 and it ran really slow for a few minutes. I got past it by just drafting all the colonists for about a minute and then letting them go.

I'm going to try to figure out the actual cause and see about a fix.

It seems it was related to special conditions at grid coords: (220,151).

Here, there was a turret blueprint, a stack of 75 metal, and a stack of 5 metal.

Something about that combination causes a problem. To fix your game, just cancel that blueprint until they clear the metal. I need to investigate further.

Don't know if its significant, but one of those metals was not selected for pickup.

Thanks for the GREAT support!
