In the first place, I love your mod, is something I being looking for since -like you said- the other mods began being outdated. However, like other user said, there is a lot of hardware that doesn't sell (I don't really remember a lot now, but for example, no game can be sold, the Coolers and Cases neither (you can see them in the released window ingame), so, I'm looking forward for you to fix it, cause I think it's a great mod.

Regards.

Thanks, but before fixing a problem I need more detailed information where to search. Like I described and you can see in the screenshots posted, I couldn't find any selling bugs in several tests.

Do you play with automated project management or are you developing completely manually? If you could send me your savegame I can look if I find anything strange.

Completely Manually, I'll send you my savegame

Okay I have found out what was going on. This was a really nasty thing to iron out. Cooler-Case had low to zero sales (totally randomly), since it was not used by anyone. I have split up some features and integrated some dependencies in other products like mainboard etc., so the sales went up accordingly and should now be okay. I played manually a few times and simulated it over 50x times, with no spikes or abnormalities.

I just uploaded the update, so you should be fine with starting a new game.

I looked for other problems like this, but couldn't found anything special. Games and Cases are sold normally, I suggest you to start a few saves and see if something similiar is occuring?

Okay, thank you, I'll start a new game and tell you if anything weird happens :)

After exhaustive testing, I can say it's all working like it should. Thanks mate!

That sounds good, thanks for your efforts to make this mod better.

So it's 1972 and I'm unable to develop a processor (likewise the AI isn't building any either).

The problem for me is that it tells me I need a cooler but when I go to select one under dependencies it's a blank list. Does the cooler need to be more advanced than a passive cooler? I only ask because according to the mod description processors unlock in 1970.

Thanks in advance! :)

Sorry for that, there was one date I hadn't changed, after editing some dependencies.
I fixed that and uploaded it some minutes ago. If there is anything else you know what to do ;)

No, that is fully intended ;)
Graphic cards in the form we know only came up since 1995-1997. The cooler was then developed and not necessarily before. The circuits etc. are also dated at 1997 because of this.

Thanks for such a quick fix on the processor! I'm impressed. Great mod by the way - really been enjoying it. :)

Hello again - I think I have another one for you:

I'm currentlyworking on "Build Device," category "Computer." It says in the description that it will require an estimated 5 code units but when under development I only see art listed as being in progress. Likewise, when I do a review it only lists hardware and system art.

Edit: Maybe should have held off on the bug report till I went a little further in game, but when I do another peer review the score is excellent despite no code work being done. Looks like perhaps just a description error?

Hi, I have just tried to reproduce what you have described, but couldn't find what you have seen.

I made 2 screenshots according to your explanation, but a) I had no code units displayed in creating the hardware ( Screenshot 1 ) and b) the review itself showed also to be correct ( Screenshot 2 ).

Actually there are only 2 possibilities for developing in the game. One is code and the other is art unit. Therefore I had hardware engineering and everything else not fitting in code unit, packed in “Art”. This explains, why you have no code unit to work at and only art, since it is fully intended in this case.

Could you post a screenshot, maybe I find anything suspicious?

Happy to post a screenshot.

The code units seem to pop up when more than one operating system is selected. So, with only one there is no code required ( Screenshot 1 ), with two operating systems there is 1 code unit listed as required ( Screenshot 2 ), with three operating systems there is 2 code units required ( Screenshot 3 ), etc.

However, in the peer review this code does not appear and, likewise, I can release the product without any code and not have it effect the quality. So, it appears to simply be a minor description bug, not anything that really effects gameplay.

So, ultimately, probably nothing worth bothering you about. ;)

Good eye, I hadn't see this one. I have just tested it and can confirm what you described. Since this have no effects and adds exactly 1 code unit per OS, I think this is some sort of internal counter for the game for calculating some values?

This must be a bug/glitch from the game itself, since I don't know how to influence this behaviour. Only thing I could try is to mix some code units in it from the features, but that would not be in accordance with the mod as intended, hmm.

I will keep this in mind for future releases and test a few things and see, if it happens again.

Thanks for finding this and informing me :)
