0.22a Released! Khun! Khun! Khun!
🕑 Added 2019-05-04 16:01:01 +0000 UTCThis one was a lot more fun to work on than 0.21. I think working on so much stuff that I wasn't personally interested in was hurting my productivity, and re-focusing to things I care about really opened the floodgates.
The main focus here was the bug hunt and quality of life, but there's still a good balance of new content.

Changelog:
Planet Visits
You now have more options when visiting your holdings, mostly to give some color to the planets and make your upgrade choices seem like they matter more. 0.22 proper will have graphics attached to this as well, but it's mostly text for now.
Economy Events and New Event Log
The economy is now slightly more fluid. Demand for classes of goods and services will now fluctuate independently. This will give stability to players with well-rounded stations, and make one-trick stations more subject to the whims of the markets.
There's now a new "minor event" log on the economic report. It shows things like slaves becoming devoted, virginity payments, and a new class of events that change the state of the economy (for example, a new study finding health benefits for slave milk may increase dairy revenue).
Other Additions
- You can now click and drag to place multiple instances of a furniture item. This should cut down on carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Optimized the pathfinding engine for wandering characters, which should cut down on station lag when you don't have enough assignments / entertainment / beds for everyone.
- Intelligence and charisma are now shown directly on the proxy assignment list so you don't have to sit there and wait for the tooltip like a donut
- Added date display to status bar to give a better sense of time
- You can now overfeed slaves from the inspection screen instead of having to wait for the event.
- Added obedience and fear drugs (I haven't integrated them with the rules assistant or added side effects, but those should be in the next patch)
- You can now have sex with some faction leaders from the diplomacy screen, if you butter them up in their dates first (some are, and will always be, impossible for story reasons). Prime/Micah also got some new lore.
- You can now free slaves from the inspection screen (though slaves with certain mental conditions may react unpredictably to the news)
- Added a sensitivity implant, which will increase orgasm speed.
- You can now apply hormones, serums, and diet plans to slaves in vats.
- New station upgrade: Fusion Drives (doubles ship speed on the galaxy map)
Tweaks and Bugfixes
- You can no longer click on the "Artifacts" tab until you have an artifact to place
- Fixed a bug that caused planets to get reset to "abject poverty" on game load
- Fixed a bug that was causing the rules assistant to default to applying male hormones to all slaves
- Renamed Carousel to Hourglass to improve clarity for people who haven't seen a certain old sci-fi movie
- Fixed a bug that prevented final faction conquest events from triggering in certain cases when the Eye of Entropy was used.
- Added some sanity checking that might prevent slaves with serum from doing strange things to your money (though I still haven't been able to replicate the issue)
- Slaves will now properly change jobs when they are reassigned from the slave list instead of the inspection screen
- Improved graphics on economic report
- Added some sanity checking to the indentation parser. There were several events that were broken by my text editor "intelligently" swapping out tabs for spaces, and now the code can deal with that.
- Fixed a bug that stopped terraforming from showing up on the galaxy map until a reload
- Fixed a bug that prevented you from making peace with the Null Autonomous Collective through the diplomacy screen
- Fixed a bug that caused "[body] is under attack!" notifications to be blank
- Added a notification for failed raids.
- All scroll bars will now be set to the top when the game starts (instead of wherever I left them during development)
- Fixed one bug that prevented orgasm meters from increasing for certain slaves, but I suspect there's another one.
For modders:
There are several new dialog parser commands for dealing with planets. They are as follows:
- [planetupgrade|thoughtpoilce|yes|no]
- [bodytags] - returns the tags that a body would apply to slaves (like "redhead" or "thin")
- {prosperity high}
- {bodyobedience high}
- {bodyfear high}
- {planetupgrade thoughtpolice}
- {notplanetupgrade thoughtpolice}

Bug report: I know your taking a break from the gender stuff... But and i have no idea why it happened, but after buying a few futas, I got a random event (mechanical masters if it matters) I went to check on one of my slaves (one of the futas) and her dick and vagina were gone leaving a genderless null, I checked the others and the same issue, upon reloading the issue was "fixed" but i just thought you should know,

Huh. Did saving/loading fix it?

Bug report: Galaxy screen got stuck. When I open it it goes to a random part of the galaxy and stays there. I can click on the star systems I see but I can't move the screen in any direction. Opens and closes fine. It's like edge scrolling got deactivated. :)

I'm sad at how long it took me to realize the GoT reference in the title

i've also had this happen and recently i've had it happen when viewing slaves and cycling through them. This was on .21, and i just downloaded .22 so i will let you know if it repeats

That is what it looks like, Its not my picture (i remember seeing on hgg) And the poster mentions her being a tribute not buying her but every so often I try and use the slave market I get that (ignore the girl, I am exclusively talking about a screen that looks like it)
StationmasterDev
I've never seen that one, but it might be related to a similar bug I've seen with diplomacy screens, which is on my list for 0.22 final.

I have completely stopped playing due to the slave market bug, I have mentioned it previously, after clicking on the "school" you want the slave from and a slave appears without any options, the bottom of the screen (where the options to buy them or pick a different one) has no buttons, just a blank bar, the only option is to Alt f4 out of there, and if you forget to save, an hours work is gone
