Elite Dangerous | Trailblazers Update 3 - Wednesday April 30

[CMDR Jack Harper]

So question:

If planet A has several Extraction supports, and Planet B has refinery supports and an orbital port,

The strong link for the orbital is the refinery, and a weak link with the extraction support. Will that mean there is now a supply of extraction commodities at Planet B's orbital, or because refineries demand extract it will eat the extraction commodities and not be available in the market?

 

[Michael Ryan]

Wow, sounds so good.

Still would like to see a lot bigger colonisation range even with the same time colonisation contact available only after weekly tick for newest systems.

Fixed Crash to Desktop when plotting route near permit locked systems

Ohmygawdohmaygawd!
Just as I was about to do another round of marketing to get the issue upvoted!
Looking forward to see that "fixed" mark on 74605 gogogogogo

Thanks FDEV!

Barnards Loop! Here I come! Time to settle in OASIS!

 

[Novarek]

Also for the rare, that nice and all, but if commodity stored into a FC are still "washed" and lost all powerplay use in the process, that won't be of major help.

 

[Lu-v H8-2020]

Greetings Commanders,

We will be releasing The Trailblazers Update 3 on Wednesday April 30. This update features a number of improvements to Colonisation economies and Powerplay merits, alongside a range of other fixes and improvements.

Release Schedule (All times in UTC)

• 5AM - Servers offline for maintenance
• 1PM - Servers back

Please be aware these are estimated times and are subject to change.

Features of Note: ​

Colonisation

• The operation of economies and population growth within player colonised systems have been extensively reworked following player feedback. These changes are designed to allow significantly more flexibility in building out systems to create any desired economy, and to significantly boost the economic output of colonised systems.

Economic changes:

• Links will now automatically be created between completed constructions within systems. Links enable supporting facilities to supply a proportion of their economy to ports across the entire system, increasing the supply, demand and types of commodities available and altering shipyard and outfitting stock.
  • All constructions are divided into two types for the purpose of creating links: Ports and Supporting Facilities
    • Ports includes Outposts, Coriolis/Orbis/Ocellus Stations, Asteroid bases, Planetary Ports and Planetary Port Outposts
    • Supporting Facilities includes Settlements, Installations and Hubs
  • Two types of link are available: Strong and Weak. A strong link provides a higher economic boost than a weak link
    • Strong links are created between a port and any facility located on or around the same local planetary body. They may also be created between ports if there are multiple of this type on or around the same body
      • In the event multiple ports are present, the highest tier port will be linked to. If both ports are of the same tier, the port which was built first will be selected
      • In the event both a planetary and space-based ports are present, planetary facilities will create strong links with the planetary port, which will pass these strong links on to the orbital port following the same prioritisation rules regarding tier and build order
    • Weak links are created between ports and supporting facilities located on different bodies within the same system
    • Both types of link can be present, enabling a supporting facility to supply the economies of multiple ports
    • Links can only be created between facilities and ports, or between ports. Facilities cannot link to each other
  • To aid understanding this new system, some examples of this in action are below:
    • System 1: Body 1 has several facilities on the surface, whilst body 2 and 3 have ports in orbit
      • Weak links will be created between each body 1 facility and both ports around body 2 and 3
    • System 2: Body 1 has several facilities and a port on the surface, with another port in orbit
      • Strong links will be created between each facility and the port on the surface. A further strong link will be created between the planetary and orbiting port
    • System 3: Body 3 has a port in orbit, with a mix of planetary and orbital facilities located at bodies 1, 2, 3 and 5
      • Strong links will be created between the body 3 port and all facilities located at body 3
      • Weak links will be created between the body 3 port and each facility located at bodies 1, 2 and 5
  • These links will be retrospectively created for all existing colonised systems during the patch downtime
  • Alternations have been made to the construction user interface flow to expose links that have already been created, and will be created on completing a construction
  • Additionally, strong links are subject to boosts or decreases in economic supply performance by the characteristics of the host system or body. Weak links are unaffected by this mechanic. Potential boosts/decreases are listed below:
    • Agriculture economy:
      • Boosted by:
        • Orbiting an Earth like world
        • On or orbiting a terraformable body
        • On or orbiting a body with organics
      • Decreased by:
        • On or orbiting an icy body
        • On or orbiting a planet that is tidally locked to its star
        • On or orbiting a moon that is tidally locked to its planet and its subsequent parent planet(s) are tidally locked to the star
    • Extraction Economy:
      • Boosted by:
        • In a system with major or pristine resources
        • On or orbiting a body with volcanism
      • Decreased by:
        • In a system with low or depleted resources
    • High Tech Economy:
      • Boosted by:
        • Orbiting an ammonia world
        • Orbiting an earth like world
        • On or orbiting a body with geologicals
        • On or orbiting a body with organics
      • Decreased by:
        • Nil
    • Industrial and Refinery Economies:
      • Boosted by:
        • In a system with major or pristine resources
      • Decreased by:
        • In a system with low or depleted resources
    • Tourism Economy:
      • Boosted by:
        • Orbiting an ammonia world
        • In a system with a black hole
        • Orbiting an earth like world
        • On or orbiting a body with geologicals
        • On or orbiting a body with organics
        • Orbiting a water world
        • In a system with a white dwarf
        • In a system with a neutron star
      • Decreased by:
        • Nil
    • As an example – Body 1 is a world with volcanism which has a port in orbit and an agricultural facility and extraction facility on the surface. The strong link from the extraction facility to the port will be strengthened while the strong link from the agricultural facility will not.
  • Constructions which have a Colony economy listed in the construction options will now have this overridden depending on the body the construction is on or orbiting.
    • These overrides are as follows:
      • Black holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarves
        • HighTech
        • Tourism
      • Brown Dwarves and all other star types
        • Military
      • Earth like worlds
        • Agriculture
        • Hightech
        • Military
        • Tourism
      • Water world
        • Agriculture
        • Tourism
      • Ammonia world
        • HighTech
        • Tourism
      • Gas giant
        • HighTech
        • Industrial
      • High metal content and metal rich world
        • Extraction
      • Rocky ice
        • Extraction
        • Rocky ice
        • Industrial
        • Refinery
      • Rocky​
        • Refinery
      • Icy
        • Industrial
      • Has rings (includes stars with asteroid belts)
        • Extraction
      • Has organics
        • Agriculture
        • Terraforming
      • Has geologicals
        • Extraction
        • Industrial
    • These overrides may stack. As an example – for a high metal content world with organics, its overrides will be Extraction, in addition to Agriculture and Terraforming.

Population Growth Changes:

• The overall level of facility output is determined by the population associated with that facility - a higher population results in greater output of commodities. With the colonisation beta release, this population number was at a reduced level for balancing purposes.
• With this update, populations will now be significantly increased, enabling commanders to build fully operational economies and supply chains for self-sustaining colonisation efforts.
• Populations within colonised systems will now grow at a significantly faster rate with a significantly higher population limit. Overall population capacity remains determined by the port and facility types built within a system.
• Populations will grow on each weekly maintenance tick. Populations growth is based on a curve and will grow quickly for the first month before slowing to a more gradual pace, enabling quick establishment of strong economies.

Additional Changes

• Law and order around system colonisation ships and construction sites is now enforced by Brewer Corporation.
• Brewer Corporation has elected to begin naming it's system colonisation ships.

Port Customisation

• Added "Facility Customisation" button within Station Services for architects when docked at their orbital facilities. This allows architects to apply paintjobs to the following:
  • Coriolis Stations
  • Ocellus Stations
  • Orbis Stations
  • Asteroid Bases
  • Outposts

Powerplay

• Offensive and Defensive multipliers to merit gains have been implemented across all Powerplay systems.
  • Offensive actions (taking unoccupied systems, undermining etc) will receive +5% bonus merits
  • Defensive actions (Reinforcing) will result in -35% merits gained.
    • This is the first in a number of planned changes which are intended encourage and reward offensive actions within Powerplay. We will continue to monitor feedback and impact and adjust accordingly.
    • Updated powerplay galaxy map panel to include this multiplier
• Re-enabled rare good merit rewards
• Replaced Escape Pods as ethos activities for Powers that used them.
  • Arissa Lavigny-Duval
    • Acquisition: Collect Escape Pods → Sell commodities for large profit
  • Aisling Duval:
    • Acquisition: Collect Escape Pods → Transfer "Employee Data" & "Political Data"
    • Reinforcement: Collect Escape Pods → Reboot mission completion
    • Undermining: Collect Escape Pods → Hand in salvage
  • Edmund Mahon
    • Undermining: Collect Escape Pods → Hand in salvage
  • Felicia Winters
    • Acquisition: Collect Escape Pods → Sell mined resources
    • Undermining: Collect Escape Pods → Complete aid and humanitarian missions
  • Yuri Grom
    • Acquisition: Collect Escape Pods → Scan ships & wakes (contested systems)
  • Nakato Kaine
    • Reinforcement: Collect Escape Pods → Hand in salvage
    • Undermining: Collect Escape Pods → Hand in salvage
  • Pranav Antal
    • Acquisition: Collect Escape Pods → Sell rare goods
• Rebalanced cartographic and exobiology merit rewards
  • Both have received an increase to merit reward rate
• Added Undermining/Reinforcement multipliers to Merit notifications
• Added reference to Undermining/Reinforcement multipliers in help screens
• Improvements to PowerPlay 2 galaxy data transfer between servers and client
• Powerplay system Local Ethos activities are now server driven, allowing for more dynamic changes

Issue Tracker Fixes:

• Fixed instances of stutter during general gameplay
• Fixed instances of disconnects when jumping to supercruise or hyperspace
  • We will continue to monitor data and reports following these fixes to ensure both issues are now fully resolved. Please continue to report any further instances where this occurs.
• Fixed the Corsair Mass Lock Factor, changed it from 7 to 17
• Fixed Crash to Desktop when plotting route near permit locked systems
• Fixed issue where the concord cannon could not be reloaded
• Fixed the Gamma settings window getting stuck on screen
• Adjusted the Corsair heat dissipation

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the hitcheck on the Corsair's side engines
• Fixed Corsair multiplayer audio. UI Panels in second chair now go beep as expected
• Fixed Corsair engine sounds being too loud when rolling at maximum speed
• Fixed instances of colonisation contact missing from list of contacts
• Fixed instances of missing construction points
• Fixed Alastor Military not counting towards the facility requirement of Military Hubs
• Fixed Planet ports not selling more than 3 commodity types
• Fixed on foot settlements not having correct max commodities supplied. They will now have approximately 3 for small, 5 for medium and 7 for large
• Fixed instances where constructions could not be renamed
• Fixed incorrect images being shown in facility construction selector
• Reduced the orbital speed of ports constructed around Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs and Blackholes
• Fixed many construction depot and beacon launch locations around stars to more closely respect their heat output, their stellar rings and any binary partners they might share an orbit with.
  • This is the cause of most failures to claim starsystems. This may still occur in some instances, and the team are working to resolve these.
• Fixed a bug that caused constructions to be placed near the final asteroid cluster of a stellar ring instead of around the requested star. We have relocated most of those constructions to their own spaces in the system.
• Known issue: In some instances, space positions for construction depots and constructed assets are in the incorrect frame of reference, causing them to be impossible to dock a ship at as they fly away. Thank you to everybody who has reported instances of those to help with our investigation.

It's all great, to be fair I wished starter port relocation/location choice was a thing and
For the more lucky starter port spot, now I have to rush the construction of enough refinery hubs before the patch and PRAY I get enough proportion to completely eliminate colony economy of an orbis twirling around a rocky ice world... engaging full panic mode

 

[Phil W]

Btw you gotta elaborate further on the weak link thing.
We need to be able to tell which settlement to supply which station otherwise this is gonna screw up big systems with tons of settlements and stations around
Surely you guys thought about that Kapp

Multiple economy types can be present in a port. If additional economy types are present at a port via links, this will proportionally introduce trade of commodities represented by these additional economy types. (I've added this to the main body of text as well)

Thanks FDEV!

Barnards Loop! Here I come! Time to settle in OASIS!

Don't get too excited. This could mean that just the crash was fixed, not the missing functionality of plotting near permit locks.

 

[Kzak]

Suggestion: Allow us to see the impact number for economies while we plan things out. For example, a Refinery hub could have an impact of 0,5 for ports on the same planet or orbitals around the same planet. Similarly, let us see the 'weak' influence the economies have on ports or orbitals elsewhere in the system.

 

[OrdinaryMan]

Will we be able to colonize from stations in other parts of the galaxy?

For example, will it be possible to expand using Station X in the Crab Nebula?

I just want a house away from the bubble if possible.

 

[Revan2610]

Wonderful update notes!

"Strong links are created between a port and any facility located on or around the same local planetary body."

Are moons of planets treated as the "same local planetary body" i.e. Moon 1 will only have a strong link with what is on its surface or in orbit, and a weak link with say Moon 2 and it's parent planet?

 

[SteveWW57]

From what I have read of the update, even if a planet/moon is not landable, it will still exert influence? Or am I wrong (as is often the case).

 

[srmo]

Don't get too excited. This could mean that just the crash was fixed, not the missing functionality of plotting near permit locks.

.... Let's see how naive I am. Now that you mention it

 

[CMDR Johann Bererund]

Tourism Economy:

• Boosted by:
  • Orbiting an ammonia world
  • In a system with a black hole
  • Orbiting an earth like world
  • On or orbiting a body with geologicals
  • On or orbiting a body with organics
  • Orbiting a water world
  • In a system with a white dwarf
  • In a system with a neutron star

It would be nice if tourism was also boosted in systems inside or near nebulae.

 

[JimmyKillsAlot]

Will there ever be a way to terraform a world? Will players be able to establish a "terraform economy" for a station that starts the slow process of transforming the body?

 

[Markov Chaney]

• These [Strong and Weak economic] links will be retrospectively created for all existing colonised systems during the patch downtime

This is absolutely brilliant news, the major concern from everyone was whether the suboptimal systems we have built so far were doomed forever and it is a brilliant surprise to see you're retrofitting this - absolute literal game-changer, thank you!

And thank you for documenting how it is intended to work, I will definitely be donating some wiki-editing time in return!

And absolutely loving the attention to detail like "Agriculture is decreased for stations on or orbiting a planet that is tidally locked to its star," this is really sweating the brilliance of Stellar Forge.

 

[Tifu]

From what I have read of the update, even if a planet/moon is not landable, it will still exert influence? Or am I wrong (as is often the case).

It should but some influences will only come from landable planets - like organics (ie. Biosignals).

 

[Steve the Red]

Multiple economy types can be present in a port. If additional economy types are present at a port via links, this will proportionally introduce trade of commodities represented by these additional economy types. (I've added this to the main body of text as well)

But this is a bad thing! Multiple economies mean that one economy's products will be consumed by the other's instead of being available for players.

A port with all economy types present would produce almost nothing, as all the products would be consumed by something else before players ever saw them.

I hope we will be able to disable certain links, or any systems with currently diverse economies will produce even less than the current hydrogen fuel and biowaste bare colony stations (as even the biowaste will be consumed by agriculture before players can see it).

Offensive bonus is interesting, but also NPC spawns need to be optimised/enhanced... otherwise all that will result in powerplegs and no space combat (and there's no mention to fix PCZs).

Why not ask it directly in the thread? FD seems to be answering stuff right now and very few are asking PP related questions.

 

[James Razor]

Am I am screwed again >_<
Started construction of an Apollo Orbis around a Icy Moon that I want to turn into an Agri Station.
With this new system, this again will not work properly, as Icy Moon means I get a Malus applied to it.

Stop forcing any economy on my stations and LET ME CHOOSE what my stations do.

Also, did I miss it or is there still no 'undo' button planned?
Or at least the ability to move stations to different slots inside a system because of the various bugs and issues?
