Still mostly letting the game self-s(t)imulate itself, except for occasionally following ships and Oking quest-results.
But a couple of questions...
1) Every now and then there's extreme white fade-up/saturations that obscure from sight the star-map/connections but not the ships and the GUI buttons/text. It's not transcendence, it doesn't appear to any particular 'happening' (bottom-scrolling event-log) and it's hard to tell if it heralds any particular change in the rank-list (top-left text), because it changes too fast anyway, regardless, to detect a difference behaviour. It can happen multiple times a second, even at half-speed running, in spates, even quite early on (7th millenium, no civ greater than tech 4) and I can't discern anything that matches this description in the documentation... But I am rather a noobie, still, so maybe I'm lacking the correct terminology to search for/recognise whilst browsing...
Is it just obscuring a 'world-change' that is escaping me? Like a civ-split?
2) Every now and then, the rank-list and Millenium/Transcended counts (top-right) disappear. Also the event-log, but that could be just time-out due to nothing new added (it often reduces to one item only). I thought, at one point, that I could prompt the top-texts' return by tapping a star and then tapping the resulting civ-window (elsewhere than the Take Control1, because my experiments in control are still rather few and rare), but it doesn't always work, at least not instantly, and the text reappearance does happen spontaneously, too, so it's hard to tell if there's a time-delayed reaction to something I've done, as well.
Seems to be a 'game object(s) redraw error', to me, but maybe it's also deliberate.
Still, it's fascinating to watch. And it's a pity that it tends to reset so much, back to Millenium Zero, default galaxy type and default settings (I like to set Keep Screen On to non-default True when I'm setting the tablet up to just run a galaxy as an unattended distraction while I'm using other devices), but sounds something like the safe recovery from unfortunately corrupt auto-save (left at default of True), from my reading of others' comments.
(I've had up to 19 Transcendences in a single session, that I know of, and several extended Blood Purge sequences of Tech-8 civs that eventually resulted in non-Transcendental galactic resets, but may have had more but for the resetting hehaviour when I've had to switch away and back.)
1 Interestingly, quickly multiple-tapping highlights the civ-stars with increasingly bright/saturated halos, I take it that it's applying multiple decaying semi-transparent halo effects on top of each other, making them more and more dominant. It seems to be a common feature to the decaying (and 'falling away') side-menu items, etc. NotABug, probably, but interesting flavour.
