ShadowKitsune Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Or you deep core surveyor came up in the middle of your Antarctica and found a Jungle full of mutants and dinosaurs. Did the DCS-1 find Meat next? ------------ In all seriousness, random is random, in SN:ROTE. How else can you have a Terrestrial planet with a Vacuum atmosphere? -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradigm Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I built a Deep Core Surveyor this turn and enough power plants to have an extra 100,000 power. This turn I saw zero effect and the power shows as "excess".: Excess Power = 107,486 in Population Group # 7088 Is this normal? Do you receive any notice of the DCS increasing a resource yield or do you have to do a GEO on the planet every turn to see if there was a change (that would suck)? Does the DCS sometimes do nothing and if so is there any report either way? Does the DCS power always show as "excess"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEOC Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 We had this happen before. It took a call to Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 You only get a report of the DCS working when it finds a new deposit. Then you have to do a GEO to find out what the gain was. I am not sure that it actually uses power if it doesn't find anything, but I have always had plenty to spare so it hasn't mattered to me much.

I suspect the bug is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the bug is still there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have not encountered this bug. From one of my younger races out there, they only had one DCS till now, and I would see this on the turn 1 Deep Core Surveyor was able to operate on xxxx A Deep Core Surveyor has failed to discover any new resources on xxxx ..... Excess Power = 4,262 in Population Group # yyyyyy If it was not using power I would have expected to see 104,262 usage. Just last turn on this race I built a second DCS and power units (11 of them), along with various mines for increases in yield (using more power) and saw this 2 Deep Core Surveyors were able to operate on xxxxxx A Deep Core Surveyor has discovered a new source of Water on xxxxxx, raising its yield! A Deep Core Surveyor has discovered a new source of Iron on xxxxxx, raising its yield! Excess Power = 12,987 in Population Group # yyyyy It appears to be working fine to me. You didn't see anything similar on yours? Did the builds of the DCS's work (using Advanced CM)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserwolf Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Yep, builds went thru fine, show up on the INST list. No success or fail message at all. It appears that setting them up on the world for the first time is the problem, not adding to them once they are present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEOC Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Our few work fine. We did have problems on the first turn. They now perform admirably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
