Thanks for reporting, this will be fixed very soon.

Ships requiring officers without crew is the way it should always have been. It's so you can plan ahead and see how many officers a ship requires, even before you crew it. I do agree though that this should not necessarily lead to the crew leaving immediately.

The beta branch is for testing experimental changes and for finding and fixing errors.

Thanks for reporting! The blocks with invisible sides will be fixed soon and is a result of actually 2 blocks being in the same place.

Thank you very much for the extensive feedback, we're aware of lots of these issues and we're working on improving them. Quite a few of the changes you proposed are already in planning/making, so I think you can look forward to upcoming updates. Considering the crashes: Please report these through the ingame reporting tool and submit your client/server logs. For the occurrences that you mentioned, it really looks like the server crashed during a saving operation and the seed was changed, but we can't know exactly what happened without logs.

Btw: I don't understand why you're building so many tiny blocks, if you could just scale the block into a huge platform. That way surface area goes up by a lot and you'll have just a single block. This is basically why you can scale blocks in Avorion, to avoid unnecessarily many blocks.

Please still post your logs. Are you actually playing on the beta branch? Because we've resolved an issue related to this on the beta branch.

Please post your logs from when this crash happens, or post the ship that causes the problem with steps on how to exactly reproduce it.

Please post your client and server logs from when this crash happens.

Please post your system specs including your graphics device and windows version.

Can you tell us which sector your stations are in? Then we can go ahead and fix the issue.

Thanks for the save, that helped us a lot! The issue should be fixed with the next patch, and your factories should work again.

You can set them in the command's getDescription() and getHelp() functions. Are you sure that these commands don't accidentally have the same description?

The patch fixing this specific issue is already live.

Thanks for reporting, this issue should be fixed with the next patch.

Thanks very much for reporting, can you send us the sector file for this sector? You can find it in your galaxies/[your galaxy name]/sectors folder, it could consist of multiple files named after the sector coordinates.

Can you reproduce the problem for other sectors as well? If yes, then I'd need the logs or maybe even your savegame to reproduce the behaviour. Do you have mods installed?

First off: When you're not using the steam beta branch, please don't post in the beta forum, I'll move your thread to the bugs section. Second: We need the server logs from that session when something like this happens, follow the instructions here on how to post bugs: https://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,6.0.html

This could be related to stats being calculated asynchronically, do you have mods that change sector generation? I can't really give you any help since your server is heavily modded. We'll look into the stacktrace, but it would be incredibly helpful if you could try and reproduce the problem - most importantly without mods.

Thanks for reporting, we'll look into this.

Thanks. Are you using mods?

Yes, we realized that and a new patch is already underway :)

Patch 0.15.1 Date: November 26th, 2017 We've fixed the issues with crew morale and we've also added a command /addcrew so you (or an administrator) can restore your ship's crew in case they left because of the bug. We've also fixed an issue where the output of the /help command was incomplete and we've improved the formatting, so you can scroll through the commands. Beta Branch Note: These changes are currently available on the beta branch. The beta branch is for testing experimental changes and for finding and fixing errors. This is how you get access to the beta branch (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK): Right-Click on Avorion in your Steam list, Properties -> Betas -> Select branch 'beta'. Hotfix 0.15.1 Patchnotes Fixed several issues with crew and morale for missing officers Added hints and more error message to make crew behaviour clearer Added a new command /addcrew Scripted server commands appear in /help overview now Improved formatting of /help command output

Note: Patch isn't live yet. And it's live!
