Is there a way to get more messages in the game? In the older versions, upon picking something up the game would tell me what it was and so forth. I don't get those messages in this version. I'm wondering if I can turn it back on somehow, but I didn't notice anything in the options.

I've got the same problem. Whenever I pick up any metals that are on a tile that gives you a message as soon as you move onto it, it overwrites the picking up of the metals. I'm sure that's the problem because whenever I pick up metals that aren't on tiles that would give you messages I get the message of picking up the metals normally.

Well, I have the same problem regarding combat messages and other planetside messages, like acid rain etc. This even when I'm not moving.

Majestic, is your auto-inspect on?

[Tarran]

Also, magellan, targeting in ground combat(pressing 5 on the numpad) is worthless. No matter what, I my guys always miss. Well, either that or I'm not getting messages.

[Majestic7]

Majestic, is your auto-inspect on?

Nope. Auto-pickup is on, but auto-inspect, nope.

[magellan]

Boy, looks like I really was a bit premature releasing this one.
At least the message problem is easily solved: Just add some lines in config->resolution.
Looks like prospector can't believe that the message window could be this small.

I've also noticed something somewhat strange. I think it's also a bug. It's somewhat of a spoiler though so those that have read that have yet to read a spoiler don't open this.

Ancient alien computers cannot be interacted with, only destroyed. I've tried picking up, walking to, and interacting with them to no avail. This makes it impossible to escape the level where you get your ship shot down by the shielded disintegrator cannon. Luckily, I had a save to savescum to, which I created when I was getting ready to play with an alien bomb.

maybe something changed in a recent version, but i think thats the way its always been.  you can destroy them (and sometimes find things in the wreckage) but otherwise there is no interaction.

I faintly remember being able to interact with them. I definitely remember being able to get off of the planet, or at the very least take the shielded gun out of it's emplacement and use it in my ship. So, logically, since blowing up the computer does nothing, there must have been a way to interact with at least some of the computers in earlier versions.

There are 2 types: those that spit out robots, and those you can interact with. They look exactly the same, you can only tell the difference when you step on them.

Well, the one I was struggling with was a one that spit out robots. So that answers that question. Now a new problem; there appeared to be only that one and none that disabled the weapon. That, or I destroyed the one that does disable the weapon. Well then, off to see which one of these turns out to be what happened.

Spoiler: Edit (click to show/hide)

Turns out, it was the former. The computer didn't even spawn. I even checked the corpses for heaps of metal and nada, the only heaps around were from the doors I destroyed. But there was something strange; there was a heap of metal in the middle of a room that was destroyed even before I got to it. So my suspicion is that the computer was destroyed on generation. Another possibility is that it was generated, just in a room separated from the rest. Either way, one or the other needs fixing.

You can't destroy it. It is indestructable

Can you send me the savegame, so I can check?

[Tarran]

Here. The planet-o-doom is in the exact same system that my ship's currently sitting on, second planet.

Getting a bug when I try and exit the ship hull purchase screen without upgrading.
I have 'easy start' on, so that might do it.
Apparently, when I exit, it says "The new ship will have a lower max armor capacity than your current one. You will need to downgrade your engine for the new hull.... etc for everything'
It asks me to confirm. If I say no, I am stuck on that screen.
If I say yes, it purchases the 'exit' hull.
I cannot then exit the page, because it informs me that I already have that hull.
esc doesn't work for this either.

Edit: still does it even without easy start being enabled.
