  • Check it out!!! Maximum baselimit is 129

    I was playing last night, and I created a controlled environment on the scenario editor. I made a base with like 40 sky hydroponics and the Cloning Vats. All squares around the base were rainy (used condensors) and had farms, soil enrichers, and bonus nutrient resources. It eventually got to population 129 with a hab dome. Then, the population started to decrease, once each turn!!! However, I couldn't work any of the squares, and there were no citizens in the base screen either. Very strange. Then, the population decreased all the way to zero, and then the game froze. Same results twice. Try it out. Its really weird.

      And what happens when you try starving the base after it has first grown to size 129 and starts decreasing again to zero? Does the population grow?

        The base is starving when it goes down from 129. Actually, decreasing in population is normal. The bug in the game is that all citizens dissapear at that population of 129. Which means that no squares can work, which means the base starves. Once it gets to zero, the game freezes. I can't even see the base screen to see if the citizens return. Try it out, it might just be my computer.

          This is fixed in one of the patches. Maximum base size was increased to 255.

            I guess overcrowding reached such levels that they decided to commit a mass suicide

                I don't know, Jam. I heard that, too. It is in one of the Readme files. I have Crossfire as well as the latest updates. I have tried this many times with different conditions, and every time, same result. May be my computer, but I doubt it, my friend has a similiar problem. However, since you probably can only get that high in pop under controlled conditions, I doubt it will ever really be a problem.

                    The problem with growing a big population is that the game won't last 100 turns after you build the vats.

                    Who wants to plow through 100 turns of "Eternity lies ahead of us ..." just to end the game with really big bases?

                      You could add pods to a base to grow it faster... were you so bored as to want to.

                        I wonder if that's a good way of dealing with unwanted bases -siphoning their population off to bases where I want to see growth...

                            Wouldn't a size 44 base be filled with specialists? How did you possibly manage to get the base rioting?
