How often is it happening? And did you verify that the mod is active?

Conduit and Population mods updated, Difficulty mod added.
Hydroponics updated, I will update the topic to A13 when Lights is working in A13.  Will take a while longer to diagnose the issue.

It wouldn't be in off topic, if it was about Rimworld.

The recent issues in the game development world have hurt game developers as a whole.  Now these asshats that go around starting early access and then abandoning their projects or scamming users or other unethical corrupt things, are making it so no one trusts indie game devs anymore.

Can you imagine if Tynan had started his game development now instead of when he did?  He'd have a lot less people interested in his game, because of the way things have been going in the indie game world where all these games crash and burn.  Promising intensely impossible things and not being able to deliver, or showing amazing snapshots and videos of cool cool things, and then you get the game to find out it was all a bullshit scam and the dev had abandon the project already after boosting the ratings with fake reviews.

I have games I want to refund but they won't let me because I played too much, the refund system is rather stupid and they only just introduced it so everyone who was scammed into buying games from bad developers is fucked if they bought it more than 2 weeks prior to the release of refund system.  Even if you only have 0.1 hours gameplay on it.

I have a few games on my account I wish were gone because they are just that bad.  It really does suck Valve can't put aside profits and kick out bad developers.  But they make money for every game sold even if its a broken game by a dev that abandon it and scammed everyone.

Neh, I know that the gratuitous dev was good up to a point.  Its possible he had life related issues and made some mistakes.  I don't want his first game to be removed from steam, because it is actually good.  Star Drive is a scam though.  I don't know much about Castle Story, I wanted the game though.

Now I've been around a long time, and I know it takes a lot to develop a game having spoken with a few developers, some I even have talked to directly via skype or steam but when you start banning people who rate your game bad and deleting their ratings and claiming everyone's out to get you, its time for you to stop being a developer and leave the gaming industry.

It seems to me that he developer of Gratuitous Space Battles 2 turned into an unethical and bad developer after he made a great game the first time.  He started banning people for asking him to fix a bug that crashes the game 50% of the time.

Mind you, this wasn't me, because I don't own the game, and I refuse to buy the game now that I've seen the large amount of bad reviews, and the blog post of the developer admitting to abandoning the game.

I haven't even heard of the damn thing and I own the entire first one with all the DLC and everything and was even a modder of it.  This indicates that the developer has done very badly at marketing the game.  If even the people who own the first one didn't hear of it, he didn't market it correctly.  I just now heard of it when it went on sale and at its 80% off sale, I say its not worth it because it crashes 50% of the time according to everyone who owns it that I've asked.

There is another developer as well, one who made Star Drive, and Star Drive 2.  He appears to have stolen some of the same "ideas" from other games and made his game in pretty much the same way as other popular space games, and refuses to fix issues or bugs with his game.  He bans anyone who even mentions a bug in the game from his forum and somehow pays people to rate his game good just before a sale which is what caused me to buy his piece of shit of a game, because the reviews looked great till legitimate reviews started gaining popularity again.

I wish Valve would ban developers from steam who do things like this.  Valve needs to put something in to protect users better.  The game refund thing is currently bullshit.  2 hours of gameplay and then you can't return the game anymore?  How are you supposed to tell if its unfinishable?  Some games 2 hours is fine, but, they should really be looking into the reviews of a game, and then prohibit more sales should the reviews be bad enough and demand the developer fix it before sales happen again, or something.

In an example, Planet Explorers while a great game, has a bug in one of the missions currently that prevents you from getting past and continuing the story.  The game can not be completed, and it takes at least 3 hours to get to that point if you are working fast.  I take my time and prepare of course.  That game is still good so, don't go thinking I'm ranting on it, they are good developers from what I've seen thus far.  I was just using an example of a game you can't find out how good it is within 2 hours.

This is a notice, for anyone who is going to ask me to update to A13 if it comes out before the 18th, I am having internet issues and may be unable to work on mods at all till the 18th.  That is when my net renews to high speed data.

I just haven't bothered to update.  I kinda hate python a bit.  I want to install it to Program Files, but it doesn't work in there.  So you're required to install it to your C:\ and not in a Program Files directory.  I rather people use 3.x too, but some refuse and thus sometimes I get scripts that don't work in 3.x

Winner is:

Ending soon, I'd like 5 more people to join in. 

Skissor, are you entering?
I didn't buy it twice. I obtained a key ages ago. I didn't like the looks of the game that much so I never used the key.

Tynan was on break.  Meaning he took a vacation.  People do that every few years.  Yes, game developers need vacations too.  Designing a game and programming for a living is not as fun as it sounds.  Sure it can be fun but it can also be frustrating and if you don't take a break every now and then, you will burn out.

Pretty sure a teleportation mod would be easy to make.    There are even teleporting power and item mods out already.  Like A2B Belt.

I would like there to be a category of colors for more planning colors to be available in the game as I am a planing type of person.  As soon as my colony starts, I find a place on the map I like, and then plan, before my colonists even land I have an entire base setup and planned out.

There's a mod that does this already in a way, adding only one new color.  I altered that mod a bit to add new colors but my version is not functional without DLL changes.  I was hoping that this may end up in the core game though.

Also, there is another way I thought of doing this without adding a new category (my uploaded post to this forum uses a new category), but have no clue how.  It would be like the Stuff system where you select what material a wall is going to be made out of.  Except instead of stuff, it's a color selector that doesn't require you having some sort of material first.  Even though I hate that context menu, it would be a good way to combine it all into one item instead of making a new category.

I would like some of these colors to be specific though.  Like one color is specific to walls and doors, and will not automatically remove its self until a wall or a door is placed/built there.  Would also be nice if there were a button to toggle all red into a mining location.  So you can place a designate mine everywhere a red plan is set.  But those are just some advanced ideas involving planning.  My main concern is more colors.
