hey is it possible to make a function that Maive stops mining on her own??
an automatic switch on/off so to speak??
Not at this time, as I want the reality of Maive actually doing something during the day. If you dislike the mining mechanic and want to opt out of it completely, just direct the ROM ore to a storage bin and then direct that bin to the export bin. Hence click the same button letter on the ROM bin and the Export bin. You will make some passive income and never have to visit the page again.

How do you get the disease thing to trigger? Skylar looked at the crew and i got the covert op done for gathering evidence against the company, now nothing. Been like 50 days and nothing.

Completing the covert event changed an in game variable that I will use to trigger events in the next release. As moskyx advises, the following events simply haven't been created yet. When you play the next release, the new events related to this story line will already have the trigger enabled.

It's interesting that I'm finding plot holes in the game. How can Vex call the MC for him to visit again when I don't even remember visiting the Hervone with Skyler in the first place? The only place I remember visiting with Skyler is her home planet.

Seems like the coding in the game is messes up and switches the events.
Yes, I found the same.
The 2nd event with Vex ocurred 1st, almost immediately after opening the Emerald (I think) gate, with the 1st event coming a few days later.
Was a bit confusing.

Also have no idea why this weird system makes my reputation drop without anything negative occurring with the respective faction.
Strange design. Takes 8 days to gain 8% rep, but lose 1% every couple of days for no reason at all.
Makes it feel pretty counter-productive\counter-intuitive trying to reach 60 rep for tech 2 items.

Hopefully it's just me missing something & someone can give some instruction on why that happens & some advice on how to make a faction reach +60, cos it feels ridiculously time consuming & difficult to achieve, atm.

some have default negative attitude towards space station, there are spy missions which give more rep.

The reason why you're losing reputation with some factions:

I guess you forgot that every policy decision you make, you gain money and rep with some factions, but it makes you lose reputation points with other factions.

Meet Nova and choose "political policy".

Xavster will it be possible to upgrade existing fighters (i. e. replace the engine with a better version) or do I always have to build a total new fighter ?

No, I didn't forget. I have only chosen a Policy for 1, which was to only allow Lavarian civilian ships through the gate, no military.
My Lavarian % went into the red when I made that choice, but their rep has subsequently risen through multiple contracts.
I did not choose anything for Policy 2, or Policy 3. I left those at default.
So, if I've not made a choice, it makes zero sense for every single faction to lose % every couple of days.
I would understand if the Factions who were impacted by the choice, or lack of choice, were dropping their rep.
But EVERY faction lowers, regardless of choices.

It takes 8 days to gain +8% for one faction by sending agents out on missions. But during those 8 days, I lose -4% for almost every faction.
The Poldar like me, I've visited the leader chick & their rep was at + 31, after completing some Influence covert missions. Without making any choices that affect them, their rep has now dropped to +19.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The only Trading Guild that I make any progress with, is Marv, the one who we have the fuel supply contract with.
Both others have dropped from +7 - +1.

So all members of all 3, Council, Trading & Syndicate, all drop rep %, without any reason to.

I also have similar experience, losing points when I should gain from policy settings. I also don´t get full points for my positive actions, think it is half the amount I should have. I really like this game but this is annoying.

Also experiencing a problem with the mining.
When my Sand is full & the ROM bin is also full of Sand, emptying out the Sand bin (E) does not make the Sand from the ROM bin fill it up, you have to deselect, then reselect bin E to make it happen.
3 days wasted, mining nothing.

Sent her out to mine Coal, while waiting for it to empty, but for some reason the Import bin does not operate.
Can I only deposit mined resources into the ROM bin? If so, what is the point of the Import bin? It serves no purpose.
More days wasted, mining nothing.

This game is proper janky.
The import bin is for the metal you buy

The ROM bins works as they should for me. You should construct more bins as well as shifting to other resources.
Use the sand to produce other materials. As for losing a couple of days it don't matter. I'm at +200 days.

I have all 7 destination bins built, as you can see in the 1st screenshot in the post you replied to.
The ROM bin issue only seems to occur, when both bins reach full.
So the destination bin for my Coal is bin B, but I allowed that to reach max capacity, then I turned on Graphene, at the Purifier, to burn off some coal. The ROM bin continued to fill up, but did not empty into bin B, as the Purifier used up the Coal in there.
So my ROM bin had to be disconnected from bin B, then reconnected. When I did this it immediately began filling up bin B, again.

This has happened 4 or 5 times in 310 days.
Why don't you just switch the ROM bin to auto mode, so that it chooses the proper destination bin on its own? Manually selecting the bins seems like an overkill when the game can make this automatically. Also, contracts are an easy and very useful way to improve your reputation with the different factions.

I only use auto distribution for mining, if a bin is full the mining ship use the next empty one. So you can have multiple coal bins for example. Complete ships take long time to build. Components give better profits. I have 4.5M in my game.

The way I have coded the system, the components used to create the ship are not stored in the ship data, only its performance parameters. Hence it is not possible for me to include this feature without completely reworking and complicating the current system. This is a can of worms I don't want to open.

What I will however do with the next release is give you a partial credit refund (50%) if you scrap the ship. Currently there is no compensation for scrapping a ship.

One method you can do to upgrade your fleet is to recover credits via the insurance mechanic in game. Hence take on a powerful enemy fleet, maximise insurance prior to taking the mission and engage. You will likely lose the battle, however you will recover credits up to the minimum of the fleet ship losses value or the insurance value. Note that you don't lose your carrier, just the fighters.

Is there a way to have sexual content with Maive up to this version? In my current game that I already finished version 0.7, she is still my friend while I already took all the other scenes with the other women on the ship. Did I do something wrong? Or even in this version there is still no content of her (Maive)?
Is there a daily sexual content with Lyra in this current version 0.7?
