With this update, there is no incentive to buy EP-booster. lol

what i don'T understand, is the decreasing EP reward depending on your absolute EP count. Extensions already scale exponentially in cost.

Yes but that affects everyone equally. Total EP amount is a key difference between new and old accounts.

So did you scrap the npc AI rework?

No, the work done there is not lost and will continue soon, but this was deemed more important at this point.

The only solution we could come up for this so far is to let the server reset all artifact locations daily at a specific time. Not sure yet whether this is technically possible at all, but it's on the todo.

The Russian channel is meant for those who speak Russian, so I don't see the problem.

I could actually give operator rights on the channel if you agree on someone.

He had the mission green thingy wiggy and teleported straight back to asitec beta.  I locked him he turned and ran 400 m, I demobbed him then he got instability and teleported.

Well I still can't reproduce it even with a demobilizer, so dunno.

This is not bugged, it's just very hard to find the suitable tiles.

Can it be unhardened?  We were next to helio plants trying to plant more and kept getting a *** you tile not suitable.  We tried for an hour three people trying to find a spot.

Yeah we should make a scanner for that.

Could you be a bit more specific on this one?

Masker tower seems like also not working.

And I either can't reproduce this on the dev server, or whatever the bug was with mining towers, fixed this too.

11.  You can teleport with mission teleport while being aggressed.

So I have checked this but it's not true. You can't use the mission teleport while you're "in combat" (the red lights on the robot status panel are flashing).

So apparently there was some internal misunderstanding on our part. The servers are still in Rotterdam, we just reduced the number of machines as they were nowhere near to being utilized efficiently. Sorry for the confusion.
