Reply to One-turn overflow still not working in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="mortili" reply="9" id="3532015"] the point is that overflow doesnt change much when it comes to micromanaging [/quote] There's massive amounts of wasted production and research if you don't micromanage currently (up to 99.9% in a turn in some circumstances), overflow would alleviate the need to micromanage to prevent waste. If you don't care about that then well are you really playing the game to win or just clicking randomly and hoping. I

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="5" id="3531867"] IMO, some of beta testers have been their own worst enemies on this subject because they keep confusing two SEPARATE complaints into one.

[quote]This is yet another thread intended to get the attention of the devs to fix the bug with one-turn overflow. That is, if you finish a building or ship on turn N, the extra manufacturing left over that turn should be applied to the next building/ship in the queue on turn N+1. On today's dev stream Paul said the devs tell him it's working. But it's not, and worse it takes literally one minute to prove it. It is the most repeatable bug I've ever encountcered. It is so

[quote who="eviator" reply="28" id="3529886"] Paraphrased: "if you have a group of 10 ships that cost 20 per ship and the ship yard has 200 production", he was about to say either: "you will get them all the next turn" or "you will get them all after 10 turns." The difference is vitally important so the timing of Brad's entrance was uncanny. In context I think he meant the former. It doesn't matter, though, because he said it's an idea that, if implemented, we woul

[quote who="erischild" reply="16" id="3529452"] I think it is indeed your own personal opinion. I am expecting one per turn overflow. Personally, I don't find that fundamentally flawed. I hope that is okay and that I am not being cavalier. You seem to have some disdain for those with this differing set of opinions.

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="12" id="3529374"] I'm quite serious when I ask this. How many Turn Based 4X games have full production overflow like some are asking for (and not the one turn one that is supposed to be going in). I am almost certain that the granddady of them all, Civilixation, doesn't let one build multiple things per turn. Real Time 4X games? Sure. But TB ones? Again, how many let one do that? I ask because I'm not fa

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="10" id="3529308"] Yes, I agree with Buck. When you can build production to a point that you can build any ship in one turn, research any tech in one turn and earn thousands of credits each turn, what is the point of worrying that excess production is wasted.

[quote who="BuckGodot" reply="4" id="3529016"] Part of the problem is that there are two SEPARATE complaints. There is a group that wants to be able to build three, four, or ten things at once if they have the production to cover it. And there is another group that simply wants to be able to carry over production to the next turn to help build one more item. The devs have said the second is what they'd like while the former is not what they want for game balance rea

Reply to Tech trading in this game is a micromanagement nightmare in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I agree with OP, tech trading is an unrealistic time consuming tedious boring exploitative feature that has plagued 4X games for many years and the Galactic Civilization series has been one of the worst offenders. The fact that your forced to use it to keep or achieve tech parity makes it an even more vile mechanic. Gal Civ 3 seems to be embracing this unimaginative feature more than many recent 4X games and in my opinion it will be a worse game because of it. Tech trading w

[quote who="peregrine23" reply="25" id="3521861"] From watching the streams, it seems like the issues raised in this thread are major blind spots for Paul. In at least 80% of streams manufacturing overflow comes up. EVERY TIME Paul says its in the game, when every player knows it's not.

Good to hear Paul talking about design philosophy in the 6th Feb Stream, not surprised to hear they can't implement more than 1 ship per planet/shipyard per turn I guess even with 64bit the game can't potentially handle thousands of ships. At 11:49 Paul says we overflow 1 (in regards to ship production) Well it's not in the betas!! If they have it working in their version of the game that's great to hear though. I think that will make a lot of peop

The same goes for research - only one tech a turn.

Could really do with some feedback... So created new LP recorded 5 videos so far uploaded one below. The loudest new game noises are altering the planet and ship yard queue but there all loud. Check 4:35 onwards in the video to see what I mean. As I mention in the video there's no way to lower there volume you can turn them off by muting the sfx but that turns everything off. There's a stop sounds option in the debug console but that does

10 turns construction is way too long. 5 turns would be more reasonable. Also I think they should be destroyed once used. Surviving the death of a star doesn't make much sense.
