Mr. D Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hi all, Version 2.4.1 appeared on the Play Store and App Store, featuring: Adjusted land capture button: number of "Expert Settler" charges is now displayed in the title and the exact amount of time until the next recharge is shown on the yellow button itself. Added a confirmation window listing the exact land capture cost appearing only when the land capture isn't free. Maximum amount of resources you can store is now displayed in the resource boxes on the construction window. As always, please post if you have any questions or feedback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Keillan Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I was hoping that push notifications would be back to normal... One thought is make the game push a notification for when a new capture is available, regardless of how many are saved up. This should not really be problematic as it would be a mere few more than normal, yet it would function regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. D Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 No problem, I have adjusted the notifications to be triggered by the initial (free) land capture only, I hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Siren Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Found a related issue. I remote-upgraded a land for 5 Unobtainium, and it consumed a stored capture, and 4% TP!!!, in the process without a confirmation dialog. I did not intend to do this, and only wanted to see what the TP cost would be, then cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The remote upgrade should only consume 5 UBT without using the stored capture resources. I'll address that problem. Can you tell me your current resource limit (e.g. supplies or personnel) by going to the construction window? This way we can work out how many travel points you've lost and I can refund those.

Max Siren Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 It's fairly straightforward in my case, as I only have 2 bases: 70 + 3 = 73, so 7300 TP "cap". 4% is 292 TP. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! No worries, 292 TP restored. The underlying bug is now also fixed; remote upgrades should no longer cost any additional resources beyond UBT. Confirmation windows for non-UBT upgrades will be added in one of the upcoming releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Keillan Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I did some captures on resource stations this morning with extras and no confirmation window appeared. A subsequent regular land capture did produce the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Keillan Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Also, if the flag button is hit a second time shortly after it first, no confirmation popup shows. It might need to go through refreshing the map to show the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Keillan Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I just did some upgrades using the "little hand" button on different lands using extra captures. No confirmation popup on those either. That might explain the issue with the UBT upgrade as well as my resource station captures from before.

Grizzlyfilms Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Could we get a attack all AI lands in my country button? So I don't need to zoom on all my bases every hour? Of course not attacking multiple places in base range, only one Edited September 7, 2020 by Grizzlyfilms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruvox Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I just encountered a new issue related to the reset of the capture counter after placing a new utility structure. So it just appeared that when I place a new sentry turret, the capture counter does not reset on client side but on server side. This was an older issue. However, now this also leads to no confirmation pop up coming up asking if i want to spend some resources to capture again. The server of course still knows about my second capture within 15 minutes thus collecting the price without any warning. This way I just lost about half my travel points because of being fast, a little to tired but most of all a missing confirmation pop up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruvox Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 So I just spent about 800 Travel Points for something I don't even know... not like I already lost over 1000 not even a week ago. You really need to do something about those extremely costly captures without any warning or confirmation pop up. Weeks of progress may be lost in seconds without even noticing. At the moment I'd rather have an option to disable the whole expert settler feature individually than encountering those huge losses over and over again due to a single random click or whatever happens... Don't get me wrong, I like the whole idea of this feature as well as the idea of Travel Points but it's really pointless to spend those tremendous amounts of Travel Points just for an additional capture (at least most of the time). But encountering this without even intentionally deciding to do so is painful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubogojev Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Honestly, I regret purchasing settler for 1000 points. I did not know, how expensive 2nd land capture will be. This in my opinion need some correction... Max 1% of resource cap, not 4% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am on the case, this confirmation should be included in the next release. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you definitely running the latest version of the app (2.6.0)? It should be easy to verify by checking if you are able to select an individual utility structure and upgrade it via the small flag on its tooltip (exactly the same as the remote land upgrades). If you do not have that small flag button then your app may be out of date!

This issue was before 2.6.0 and seems to be fixed now. At least the counter resets again after the placement of the new utility structure. Although I still dis not tried this in those ca. 2 seconds before it resets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruvox Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Okay so the basic issue still persists. Whenever I hit the capture button, which did not display the counter and cost although it should, the capture action will happen without any confirmation window and will cost an (at that time to me) unknown) amount of resources. So the server works perfectly but the client seems to be sleepy sometimes. Or in other words, the capture button will always trigger a capture operation request to the server directly as long as it looks normal (doesn't show x% of resource below). This happens to me a couple times a week mostly if the client is very busy or if I hit capture, change to another app and then resume to the game within the next 15 minutes hitting the capture button directly again since it looks like I could.
