Hi guys,
Love the game so far. (61 hours speaks for itself and I'm not a gamer)
I'm also a dev and know how important bug reports can be, so here is a thing I found right now:
As far as I noticed, If you get an augment that you already have you get scrap instead but I bought a scrap recovery arm and looted one and now I've come to this. :lol:

Occured on easy with a Rock B - Sector 3 Pirated Controlled

Cheers

It's a feature, not a bug. Some augments can be stacked. Others cannot.

Now this raises the question if you've got two Reverse Ion Field augmentations, will the third be scrapped automatically if you find it? :-)

Nope. They're stackable. Even if 150% is just as good as 100%

That's inconsistent then, because two Pre-igniters work just as well as one.

But a second Pre-igniter gets scrapped.
It's in the code actually:

Code: Select all

<stackable>false</stackable>


It's a simple "true or false" tag. Doesn't matter if it leads up to 100% or not.

Yeah I know how it works, but it's still not consistent.

This must lead to a global recall of the game, and I demand a full refund of my (10 or so) copies!

And a public apology by the developers.

And a stern word to all programmers to add more variables in a true/false flag. I mean we can't stick with just those two traditional true/false roles. What if the fact was mostly true or a falsehood that had elements of truth?

Damn right - a mandatory reading of 50 shades of grey seems appropriate. Maybe some flogging.
