  • Help with the space race

    I've built up all the parts and the ship won't launch . . . is there some kind of button I'm supposed to press or something? I haven't won any other kind of victory and it's not even close to 2050 yet. Any thoughts?

    apparently it launches automatically, although i've never got that far in the game to find out!
    regards,

      You haven't seen a message popup that "PlayerX has won a Space Victory!"?

      Or the spaceship movie afterwards?

        Neither, it does absolutely nothing. In fact, I've actually waited for China to build all the parts too, and they couldn't launch it either . . .

          List everything that you've built so someone can point and laugh at what you've forgotten.

            If you click on the little Fist icon near the top right that should display the Victory Conditions screen. The bottom section lists all of the parts needed for a space ship. Make sure you've built all of them. It's possible there is a component that you're not capable of building because you haven't developed the necessary technology.

            If you've built all of the listed components, in the right amounts, and you still haven't won, then something's wrong.

              No, seriously, I've built EVERYTHING, there is nothing left to build, nothing in any build queues, everything matches up in the victory condition screen, I've researched everything. I was just wondering if anyone else has a similar problem.

                I've never had this problem. Other than a bug the only things: I can think of are that the spaceship victory condition is disabled in your game, or that you somehow continued playing after some other victory condition was met and just haven't realized it.

                    Post your save game if you really can't figure out why it won't launch. Maybe someone here will look at it.

                      Yes! We demand a save game!

                        If spaceship victory is disabled, you don't have the option to build spaceship parts. Probably either a glitch, or he won already, clicked past the 'One more turn', and completely forgot about it.

                          If he had won already, "XXX has won a Space Victory!!!" would not have dissapeared.

                            I'm sure its just user error. He probably built all the space ship parts he could at the time but had not discovered all of the techs that provided the other parts needed for launch such as Fusion, Robotics, or Fiber Optics for example. I've been in tech support long enough to know you start with the user and work your way down from there.

                            Until I see a save game that can't be explained I'll stick with my user over looked something theory.

                              I'm assuming by the fact that the OP hasnt posted a save that he's located his folly and doesn't want to share it.
