Colonization is broken stop building until its fixed.

[tomalus]

As of 9th of April colonization stations are not affected with any economy and only produce biowaste.
Stop building your projects,because you will brick your setups. You will then have to beg support to reset the economies,or wait for weeks,months,years for fdev to retro active fix them with some rollback.

It is now 3rd time colonization has broken,with ZERO communication from fdev.

Reminder: We're still in a beta.

Reminder: "still in a beta" isn't an excuse for unclear documentation, zero actual information communicated, and allowing players to permanently "mess up" systems.
Reminder 2: it's completely UNreasonable to expect MOST players to see the "beta" tag and think "oh, no problem, I just won't participate in this new thing at all."

I think we're all painfully aware of that

Yeah the progress is now nothing works anymore.

Their main communication is that they 'reverted' an erroneous change. Which, ofc, was not what they actually did - though it took a week to find out because we had to guess what had changed.

Lots of stuff works. I could make a big list of colonisation stuff that works just fine. I am not fond of big exaggerating statements.

I think what you mean is some stuff doesn't work very good. And background algorithm stuff is still being developed. And players aren't being given much direction on how to play this feature properly such that they can 'succeed'... whatever that means because its hard to know for sure. So its not a good idea to play this feature if you want to play something that works good.

IMO the feature should have been released in a more finished state. Sure, call it a 'Beta' but it has been released. And it has been released in the condition its in. There are some fundamental aspects that don't work properly that are much more basic than tweeking values and adjusting setpoints. More functional testing and development should have been done. I'm not sure what external pressures they were under to release it prematurely. I think it would have been fine to release Trailblazers a month or two later.
