You guys are the best!

No changes to jobs or skill ups? :/

This appears to be causing null reference errors in the code relating to Chores. Deleting my farm stations seems to prevent them, but re-adding them causes immediate crash from the null references.

I can confirm Xarians post. Had roughly 5 nullrefs in a row. Came here, read his post, deconstructed the my one and only farm station and poof.. No more nullrefs.

If you alt-tab back and forth, you'll notice that you get even more null references. I think it's just attempting to perform the same action and throwing a null ref exception each time.

What is the temperature suppose to be as I swear it's gone up instead.  From what I can tell, it won't work when the steam is less then 250C.  Also, it still works when most of the bottom is blocked, even though the red icon comes up.

 

And that's a neat change to igneous rock and magma, not only does that increase the amount of heat in the bottom zone by several fold, it also means that igneous pipes are now better then granite and sandstone pipes for transporting heat.  Igneous rock for ALL THE THINGS!!1

[Lutzkhie]

igneous rock changed, hmmm maybe i should stop feeding those rock to my hatches since now they pretty much useful

anyway, whats the best food for hatches???

Precisely, 525 Kelvin, or 251.85 Celsius.

Plastic is a thermoplastic polymer
It is useful as a raw Plastic feedstock.

Doesn't that sound curious ? or it's just me  « plastic is useful as raw plastic feedstock »

Nice update Klei. There is one bug I'm hoping is fixed before launch though. Any chance someone could look at the farm station bugging out? I described the problem I'm having in this bug report.
