Could it be that the "fog of war" is concealing it and you need to move your probe withing visible range?

did you build the wormhole sensor yourself ?

Never had that issue before... it'd just show up somewhere on the map... granted this is the first time I let somebody else build it (every other time I've just been in SP mode after all).

Nope, somebody else did... I thought I might as well let them, and then just be ready to be the first one to have the probe built and out of the docks.

There's your answer.

Eh? The Sensor is supposed to make the wormhole show up for everybody though, or at least, that's what it says in the library. Is that not the actual case?

[J Bytheway]

IIRC there's a delay of a few turns before everyone else can see it to give the builder a small advantage to pay them back for the hard work.

[FlameFlash]

Ah... great...

So I'll just keep a watch out... oh well, thanks.

[blackice]

Might as well get building those labs

[Mathemagician]

it takes 4 turns until you see the hole if you havent build the sensor yourself (actually 5, but it counts the current turn since it was already built before your turn). the value is given in const.txt and is called WORMHOLE_VISIBLE_TO_ALL_TURNS.

Great... wish I'd known that earlier... guess the probe will just sit and stew for four turns then...

We (read I) still need a replacement in one of the largest games here: Eagles at War.

Super-duper-giant map.

The nation, which seeks a new leader, is BACK as no 3 after the supervison of the game-moderator - but that can't continue.

Pls: Can't somebody help me?!

[Mathemagician]

super-duper-giant ?

[FlameFlash]

Fairly soon I'm going to need a temp sub for ALL my games.

I'm going to be in the process of moving from Missouri to Minnesota and as this is a fairly long process (at least two weeks total before getting back online) I'll need somebody to sub for me.

[MILAMBER]

replacement needed in Shout For Power

orange player is in 3rd but with the right leader could
be in 1st, still early in the game (turn 46)
