You could have kept that one just for lolz in the preview.

In regards to the other fixes. Thanks, now I think I can manage doing another round.

Thanks for the fixes

Bug about Jobs?

I've unassigned a Dup that was Tier 3 Miner to test the "Jobless" list, when I put him on the Digger tree, I return to 50% as a apprentice Miner.

Before :

Unassignement (Jobless or any other jobs) :

Returning to Miner :

I can't go back tier 3 !

Oh. This is bad. This is a game breaker in the current state where you have to change jobs because the schedulers performs so poorly.

This needs a hotfix ASAP.

And what about polluted water which overproduce polluted oxygen?

Did you use debug more to get to tier 3?  Because when you are on tier 1, it says 51% mastery, meaning that he doesn't qualify for tier 3 yet.  Or did he already master it and got reduced to 51%?

Nope I was already tier 3 without console. I was 50% on the tier 3, that why after my respec I'm 50% at tier 1.

This has to be the most annoying this.  If it was able to get to 3kg, ok....popped eardrums but ok.  But 81Kg?  That's going to fill half a map and there's no way to get rid of it.  It needs a limit.  

[Saturnus]

@Cheerio The problem @SamLogan describes above is very serious. It means that if you even by accident takes a dupe off being a master seasoned miner. All it takes is one wrong mouse click. Then you have to start retraining them all the way back from Apprentice Miners again. No job masteries are retained.

You can roll back your save.

I don't know if its producing more now than before, but regardless think of it as more of an opportunity than a problem.  Free oxygen means less water and electricity spent.  Just have to spend some sand instead.  Many late game systems revolve around creating polluted oxygen on purpose, so you could also just store this for later

But now my Diggers/Builders keep getting stuck because the rock tile behind the unbuild ladder block them!

Looking into it. Could you could send me your save file or post it in the bug forum? Thanks!

This has been the case for a very long time, not anything new and Like mentiones, its more of a bonus since it usually does not have slimelung in it unless you mine a slime tile!

Well, there is also the implication that it is impossible to become a mechatronics engineer now. Not hard but literally Impossible. As it requires the dupe to switch job branch and have mastery in two separate branches. Since job masteries are not retained outside the current branch that will be impossible.

By far my favorite fix ever.

Glad it's been noted so quickly.

Just started a new game and the warning pops up that there's no food in the base and the edibles list read 0 yet I have 20 kg of nutrients bars.

It is so game breaking, that i wont be playing till they fix this. 500 cycles in it's just not worth that sorts of sadness. I can deal with random bugs, like game insta crashes if you connect solid goods rail to a pre-build box (goes for both in and outgoing boxes), but if you make the rail first and then place the box on the rail = all good. But this a entirely other story.

That's a two-edged sword. It allows executing the delivery and digging simultaneously but also increases risk some dupes will 'burn all bridges' to their colony while digging for buildings that can't be built yet ... and in a while, can't even get the materials delivered.

I fully agree. This requires more micromanagement on our part, which is true since this upgrade in terms of digging anyways. Before the update the duplicants would prioritize building over digging on the same priority. This made digging up large areas stress and micromanagement free, since you could build ladders and paint dig tasks over them. The duplicants would always first build the ladders. Now with the miner specialization your dupes will get stuck if you do it this way.

The bug was that the amount of experience required increased so if you assigned the dupe to that role, they needed to get some experience to master the role once again. This should be fixed as of 253205.

Any of you guys  know if the bonus of stamina recovery is working?

I've had my miner nearly kill himself about once every two cycles mining out all the space for new tiles, and in doing so, either trapped himself in water or in CO2. Tiles still need to follow the resource before mining rule as well.

[boohboomagoo]

I have heard discussion that disease has been made stronger...  Can you guys look at this?  I keep making small colonies and the only way to fight disease with a starting colony is with a med bed;  and it takes about 3 full cycles of your dupe dancing around like a moron sneezing and barfing all over the place for them to get back up to 30% health - and this is with game settings Immunity:STRONG -  That's nuts.   Consider updating how the med-bed works and make it slightly more effective.  Because when I have a base with 6 dupes. 3 are sick-making the other 3 sick- everyone is barfing everywhere and there's nothing to do but let everyone die... and start over....   is an awful way to kill the game 45min into starting a base.   I don't mind having to be more cognizant of disease-  But treating it and containing it needs to be made slightly more effective;  because the larger a base gets, the more complicated this spirals into, and there's very little in the game to get your dupes back on track and not puking and pooping everywhere.  (eh... total mess)
