I think the max is still 250 O2, you will need a different number of tanks to achieve that depending on crew size.

So I've been messing around with 1.15a, and there are a couple of new features. You can now buy autopsy and botanical kits at the sick bay to improve bio-collection, lava now seems to less damage, and you can now find alien ship components in the giant worm corpses. I'm not sure if finding a disintegrator cannon in the thorax of a giant magma worm is a bug or just pure awesome.

Got a massive memory leak on one of the ancient scoutships, the one that's pock marked with little meteor craters.
I'm having trouble seeing what happens, exactly, but I think when a single blast kills my entire boarding party, the game goes nuts and spends all available processor power on... doing nothing.
edit: It only appears to occur when the Captain is killed by that weapon.

I've just been roaming around but I like what I've seen a lot. The only problem I have is figuring out who to sell map data to. I went through the first 10 pages of the thread hoping it'd be answered but maybe I'm just an idiot.

So I have mapdata from an entire planet and dock in a space station but none of the stores seem to offer to buy mapdata?

[1freeman]

You need to talk to the company office at that space station, It will be the first option when you dock assuming it isn't abandoned.I would suggest Eradani Exploration but any of them will buy it for varying amounts.

[PMantix]

....but none of the stores seem to offer to buy mapdata?

As far as I can tell, you can't sell map data at the starting space station (is this true?)... try one of the other space stations symbolized by an 'S' on the galactic map.

[1freeman]

the one that you start at is abandoned so you have to go to one of the ones that that give you a menu instead of actually walking around the station.

[boatie]

D'oh. That's definitely my problem. Thanks guys.

[Orb]

I'm pretty sure they aren't abandoned, because I remember discussing the idea of them before(and I suppose he took the idea).

Basically, they are the gas stations of space. When docking at them, you can get repairs, new crew members, fuel, ammo, and so on, without paying wages for the crew. You can even sell fuel at them, if you can safely extract it from gas giants(there are ways...). But, you can not sell your map data, bio data, or resources at these stations, so credit income in null. You also can't buy new equipment, unless you want to pay overpriced at the local bargain store. So, these "pitstops" are ways to help you keep afloat if you don't believe you can afford another "wage" payment, and want to refuel.


If you guys have any other questions, just ask, I think I got a pretty good feel of of the game. I've gotten to a point where credits don't matter(you make so much you can't spend it all) at several points, and I just explore the galaxy till some random spaceship blows my face off.

Also, some bugs I've had, they may have been reported before....

Spoiler: Bugs (click to show/hide)

1. I pressed the zero key so that I could fire at about 10 enemies at once, and it froze and crashed. I wish I remembered what exactly happened when it froze, but I didn't really think I would be filing a bug report.
2. I somehow switched the keys so that shift+e made the game exit and save. When I reloaded the game, I was off whatever planet I was on. Pretty big exploit.

Spoiler: Exploit (click to show/hide)

When I "dig up some dirt" on one of the companies, isn't it possible to make infinite money by constantly being payed to be silent? Or do they blow you up eventually...I didn't feel like testing it.

[Captain Mayday]

found a few problems, spoilered for spoilers

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ancient bombs keep exploding. Repeatedly. If I exit the area it seems like they stop. I seem to be able to collect them afterwards.

Had a lot of stuff. Sell menu worked, drop menu didn't. Don't know why.
Managed to fix by selling a load of stuff.

Grenades won't be thrown properly with 'g'. I don't know why it's doing this, as it worked before.

Steel walls, on the theme of ancient bombs, don't seem to suffer damage from anything at all, even ancient bombs. I guess the steel must be really thick? Really really thick.

The inventory menu is really terrible to navigate. I'm not sure how it's sorted, but when selling things the same item seems to move around a lot.
Can we please have: The ability to sell multiple items of the same type at once? Also the ability to page down (if this is in already I'm not sure what the key is).

Is there somebody specific who'll purchase all the idols and wooden boxes and jewellery I pilfer discover on alien worlds? I found someone at some point, but this seems like the sort of thing that should be more common.

Is the pirate homeworld the only source of pirates? Because I destroyed that and there are still pirates. Lots of pirates.

In the robot city, I think there should be at least two levels below the ground. there's no additional downward passage for me. If it's somewhere else in the level, I can't get to it given the invincible steel walls, and inability to teleport myself.

[magellan]

The bomb thing and the grenade thing are solved in the latest version (Posted yesterday)

[PMantix]

oooOOOOoooo..   shiny new probes in the recent update.

[Neonivek]

"I guess the steel must be really thick? Really really thick"

Actually yes. Miles thick in fact.

Do Captains Currently have traits?

[Deon]

I have a problem, I can't figure out how to use *bu.bmp files properly.

I want square graphics, but the game seems to set it to elongated vertically tiles no matter what I try to do. I would really like to make a good tileset for it, but I want to know how to make it read square tiles first .

[magellan]

in config.txt there is _tix= and _tiy=
Those are x and y dimensions for graphical tiles.
And if X=Y they are square.
Looking forward to seeing your tiles deon.

[Deon]

If I set it to _tix=24 and _tiy=24, the text becomes unreadable .

Also could you swam Q and SHIFT-Q keybindings?

P.S. I think the problem is with the font, should I tweak it to be 24x24 too?
