So... We don't seem to have a thread for general forum bugs, so I thought I'd create one. In case anyone hasn't realised, this thread is for forum bugs or questions that don't really need a whole thread, but could use fixing.

Now, this will be quite contradictory, but the reason I made this thread was because I noticed a forum bug that didn't need a thread making over it...

The locked topic image appears to be broken.

See? Didn't really deserve its own thread. That's precisely why I had to make this thread.


ADMIN, my humblest apologies for making such a big deal over one minor bug, but I can now guarantee it won't happen again. Also, please fix please.

Locked works fine for me. Also, since people seem to make threads with questions a lot that get a bit irritating, simply because they create threads that are immediately resolved, I will sticky this and merge those questions with this thread.

Thanks for the sticky.

Just tried finding a locked topic on my other computer, the locked image is broken on that, too. (All I see is a long transparent box with a little square blue question mark icon in it)

I'm pretty sure it's not because I'm using a Mac, and it isn't because of an extension either, I tried disabling it.
(I only have one, and it turns out it's the reason I don't see the ads at the top. It's a cookie blocker, not an ad blocker, but it blocked the ad anyway. Odd.)

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hang on, are you talking about the same image I am? I am referring to the image that appears at the top & bottom of the thread when reading the thread. I still see the one that looks like a Thrive logo with a lock in it in the 'thread selection'.

Tiny one up top where the word REPLY is on this thread? Yeah, I'm getting a little x in a box icon there, the usual 'image not available one'

Thanks.

I got two questions

1. I am kinda confussed with the organism stage how many animal species will be in the organism stage because only 3 diffrent animals will get boring and how many will you see in the space stage like if you fly arround the planet will you see all the animals

2. I know there is a post for planet size but how big will it be in organism stage will it be like a 10 minute walk or will it take a long long long time before you go arround the planet and you can actually make a very large planet without slowing your game down in space stage what i mean by that is you can actually do sort of a loading screen between entering a new system or even a new planet.

In regards to planet size, one of the things we want to be able to do is smoothly transition from planet to space, which may or may not need to be sacrificed.

Ultimately I see us having to make anything the player sees on a planet totally separate from what happens in space. Which means as you descend on to a planet, there may a second of lag before you see the surface in detail. So that means each planet would have to have 2 meshes, one for things that happen on planet, and one for viewing the planet in space. The space mesh would be textured and low poly, the 2nd one would be textured but high poly. But depending on how we do it, you wont have to view the 2nd high poly mesh all at once so it won't hurt your computer too much.

I know little about programming so if that isn't possible or makes any sense sorry for the confusion.

willl you be able to build by your own buildings like a regular rts and
how this will ballance with the automatic building spawn(make city ugly )
{ i ask because i am going to make a building suggestion thread.also will buildings have sub upgrades(that will cost money ,resources and some time to build/enact) .for example
palace= walls........ will making harder for your enemies to storm your pallace, monarchs statues = will give happiness,extra guards barracks =obvious
