YES! I knew there was a reason why I called in "being a lazy bum" to work today.

Did you fix the crash when an Iridium player tries to construct a starbase?

The 0.42-09/11 build supercedes (and replaces) the 0.42 opt-in.  It still says "Ver. 0.42" in the game.  Right away, I see these changes:

  • Iridium constructors are fixed :sun:
  • Files now datestamped 09/11:
    • DrenginTechDefs.xml
    • ImprovementDefs.xml (somebody run Windiff on this and the old one, tell us what changed)

However, Iridium exhibits other bugs.  I've never played them until about 20 minutes ago, so I dunno if these are new or pre-existing.
