The game will make a copy/paste of your account.You will have the same temp on every colony even if it's moved to other pozition like from poz 15 to poz 13.The problem you can have will be with those that you have on poz 8.Will have same temperature but if it's moved to poz 9 or 7 you will get less metal production because it's % production by pozition and not temperature.If moved you get a free relocation but after using the relocation the game will make a new random temperature for the relocated colony.So... those with lower temperature will be fine but not those by the position in sistem.

Another thing that was chenged in the last merge (because i play on other comunity) is that the colony from 15 will not get on position lower that 13. So 15-13 / 12 - 4 / 3-1 ... i did try in the past to move a colony from 15 to 8 by ask a friend to block the sistem so that the game move me on poz 8 but the game moved my colony in the next sistem.

You will get moved in galaxy 5 with a free relocation for every colony moved.

interesting so that must have changed, because eons ago when i was merged from Jupiter to Cygnus some of my planet slots changed and with that the temps (got free relo).
If that's the case it could be a good idea to mention it in the FAQ at the beginning of this thread

Quote from Oliver

I have an issue on merge process. In Dorado (EN) I put a lot of effort to get very specific colonies focused deeply on deuterium mining. When colonizing, I re-rolled them many times to achieve combination of decent size and low temperature. As a result, 8 of my planets are in 15th slot having temperature below -125° (of possible -130°) and size above 190 (highest I've seen is 219), and one more planet in 8th slot has temperature of 31° (of possible 30°). And I'll be very, very sad if after merge these colonies end up having higher temperature.

I expect that after merge the colonies will keep original temperature (or at least match mentioned conditions). Is it true? Or should I create a support ticket to handle this specific case?

if you're lucky you will get the same spots or very close ones, if you do not get the same spots you "should" and I emphasize should (because the thread got conveniently deleted, and I don't remember if it was said there will be free relocations or not) get free slots. Logging a ticket may be a good idea if you don't get your slots or free relos.

how convenient that the whole thread with many players ignored input got deleted...

All i can say is: why are the fleet speed options so shi^ty? Why does the peaceful have to be faster than war?

What the players wanted was conveniently deleted, good some good soul archived it or a crawler did by a chance

MikeGrinder6 reflected my sentiments to the fleets speed & eco & df selection in his post from 16th Nov:

Quote from Mike Grinder

I think this is a nice approach and gives everyone a choice as to where they want to go, who they want to play with, which play style they want to adopt, and most importantly they're not going to anyone's turf to play.

Meaning there's no blocked SS, and not all slot 8s/15s are occupied by vmoders, active players, inactive players, banned players, etc...

I think the only change I would make is this.

For example, creating 4 new universes:

- Universe A: eco 8x, fleet speed 1x, research 16x, DF 30%, etc

- Universe B: eco 8x, fleet speed 2x, research 16x, DF 50%, etc

- Universe C: eco 8x, fleet speed 4x, research 16x, DF 60%, etc

- Universe D: eco 8x, fleet speed 6x, research 16x, DF 80%, etc

As for people asking about inactives, they are usual merged into random universes, so we'll all have inactives to farm.

A merger would be nice, but please leave Volans out of it.

I also don't think Drado should be excluded from anything. They adapted quite well with MCO, Classes, etc.... so why should they be excluded from a merger?

If this happens I'm looking forward to banging it out with the top dogs that survived throughout the years.

Bought dm and going GY, but I think it was a waste of money though ...

I still have many pages to catch up, I'm on page 15 now, but why do we always get these retarded fleetspeed choices? Why does the friendly speed have to be faster?

It's an issue with every single ****ing merge! Can't GF do any better?

Last merge we were given s**t choices and because that worked so well we get more s**t choices.

Can't you make 4-5 new unis with fleet speed:
1x

2x

3x

4x

5x

8x eco, 16x research, 60-70% DF, ACS, NO DiDF

and let PEOPLE CHOOSE where THEY want to go?

Quote from fnk

Why does this happen every merge? Always the same. You create universes with speed settings of x1 war and x2-4 Peaceful. And after each merge such universes disappear! Last time I was forced to register a new uni due to the fact that I could not/did not want to adapt to the speed of the target uni. And what now?!

Dione, Earth, from new (in future) - Gaspra, Lacerta, Mathilde.

For these universes, there is not a single target of the universe that would preserve the difference in speeds (x Peaceful > x War)

And after the merger, gameforge will again create new universes with settings such as Dione or Earth and the like.

If you keep creating such universes, then people have a need? (otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them). Then why does each merge bypass these settings.

Yeah exactly that, f****ng hate this

I need to stop falling a sleep while I play tha's all.

Just a note, it would be interesting to see these hits including deut costs, I simmed it an it would have costed over 200kk to fly.

And that xgal flight both of you recalled must've costed even more

Apparently I bought a resource package, but I have 8 of them, it's a mystery to me how did I buy it and why would I buy it

It'd be nice if there was a prompt before significant purchase like this.

In all fairness that's a bit flawed if ingame premium currency cannot be tracked

I went thru my browsing history at home, can't find anything that would indicate I repeatedly purchased a package or a booster or anything really

It really feels like it just went "poof" in between logins

So,

while checking how long is there left for my moon defs to be completed I noticed that the Halve time button is red (insufficient DM).

I had over 350k DM and now I have 21k, even if I accelerated the moon defs it would have costed 136k, I was also building some ships but nowhere near those kind of costs (about 3000 battlecruisers, 51mins construction time, so 1500DM for halving, 3000 completion). There are no extra resources so I dont' think I accidentally bought those either.

The only thing I did, was to log into another account in the same uni from the same lobby to collect rewards (it's in V mode so no multiacc).

Already logged a ticket, just wanna see if anyone ever seen anything like it? I'm pretty bummed tbh, that was a lot of expos over many months.

So, I've been seeing this for a while but it's pretty annoying tbf.

Some spy reports seem to outlive others, I'm sure I made spy less than 24hrs ago and it's gone, whereas some other older reports are still there (not favorited)

I have a commander (for a very long time now) it says it gives 40 favs, I don't remember I've ever been able to store that many, I'm on 12 now (was 8 as of time writing this) but will bookmark more just to keep an eye on it.

Lol. Expectations of gameforge fixing something.

Lol

my expectations are pretty low, I work in IT...

Quote from johocknut

the odds of the rule going to 60 seconds are probably higher

for the sake for your favorite deity don't give them ideas please!

Are they really bugs then at this stage? How about calling them undocumented features?

Quote from MikeGrinder6

It's situational, the rule is there to prevent players from exploiting the bug. I've seen hits happen where an entire alliance continuously probe a defender (not leaving a gap of 20 seconds) who is online, the defender simply couldn't lift his fleet because of this bug.

fair point, but would still expect a fix after a year tbh... (yes I know there are other issues that have been goin on far longer than that but I can't recall many that required a rule change)

I don't wanna get banned because I didn't calculate last spy well and probed someone in the last 20s before impact

Quote from -Arcane-

It has been enforced a good few times in my experience

yeah, I do have a feeling that it's being enforced selectively depending on how much defender spent on DM,

either way, it'll be a year in 4 days since kewlness posted it:

Bug using rule clarification update

• EN/ORG
• kewlness
• Oct 29th 2021

So all in all, the devs did have a lot of time to fix it. I'm not interested in reading remarks that we "should know how to lock in a fleet" yeah maybe, but quite frankly I'm not telepathic to read defenders mind when they come online less than a minute before impact and trust me it does happen, it happens too often with certain targets (days, weeks watching the target and it comes online everytime just before impact, and it's not like he could have sat on another planet because he doesn't have any new ones)!

Is this retarded rule still in effect? It's been almost a year so quite ample time for GAMEFORGE DEVS to fix the bug!!!

Quote from WiTcH

after hit and hits we wish nothing happened serious at rl. hope everything ok at your side.

thanks it's just a game,

all good, just dozed off

congrats on the hit

[TOT: 4.569.933.000] Foki [Ronin] vs. Shinnyu-shu [cnb] (A: 4.250.000.000, D: 319.933.000)

So I woke up to most of my fleet gone and some attacks still going on, noticed that attacked hasn't found all fleet I waited it out and jumped in last few seconds

Nothing big compared to what he got but the revenge was sweet!

gg atacker Foki

how did you manage to hit 3 bots so close apart and what did you get banana for?

I'll still refer you to the lifeforms threads:

Lifeforms Tutorial - Question Gathering Thread

Quote from Dark Pink

Quite often, the sort of aggression you are describing is a result of the aggressor being annoyed by something the 'victim' has done.

Yeah Saturos are you sure your mate hasn't done something like this: what can i do against bullies? it's well summed up in a post by Joker

That player harassed the 2 "bullies" before it turned into what it has, most sensible large players do not attack smaller players without a reason (of course there are exceptions), they got a bigger fish to fry.

General rule of thumb would be not to ask for attention unless you are prepared to deal with it.

I mean, the lifeforms threads are the best threads to ask lf specific questions, or open a new thread if you aren't finding your answer. This is not the right thead.

Food is to feed your lifeforms.

Most of the game elements have a hover element, if you hover over an item it'll show you what it does
