Day 64 of a broken background sim

It's a Skinner Box.
They've definitely skinned some elephants. Isn't that illegal?
Is the BGS still completely frozen?
I've been unable to use a computer for most of last week, so couldn't tell. But returned yesterday to fight the last day of a 3 day each drawn war in Aganippe. According to EDDB, Aganippe has gone out of war and the Mafia are now 8% ahead, which is the result I'd expect if we won.
So that doesn't look frozen.
Anyone else?

So without trawling through 28 pages of convo.
Does handing in exploration data still only help the controlling faction of a system. Given the fact that other parts of the BGS are broken

That explains Aganippe working then, as that conflict started 7 days ago.
That's because it is weekend.
Weekends and holidays are unfortunate times for bugs to appear. That's why you usually don't deploy on Friday.
I'm pretty sure someone will give the servers a good kick and things will start moving again today.
Nevertheless the testing of the BGS appears - again - to be quite lacking, as it did years ago when it was introduced to a similarly bumpy start.
This is part of the « no ETA » bug.
My problem is that I'm not entirely sure how the BGS works and so I can't submit a bug report because I don't know if it's working as intended. I'm just a casual player and I just want to lend a helping hand to my faction every now and again.
So the BGS is broken. Is there a guide somewhere of the things that still work? And where's the best place to check to see when the BGS is fixed?

If in doubt fling one in and let them decide.
There was one such multi-day hiccup that I recall, but it was a while ago. That one also included a reset that obliterated days of work as well.
It's a Skinner Box.
peck-peck-peck - nothin'.
Stupid featherless bipeds. Can't even make a proper Skinner box.
Nope not obliterated, in FDEV's words it was like a hosepipe they'd stepped on. When they took their foot off it all came out in a rush.
Just don't put your eye against the nozzle.
No. In the instance I am referring to, there was a two to three day reset back to a previous state of the galaxy. This is recall clearly, but the proliferation and persistence of bugs on bugs on bugs makes it hard to remember all the finer details.
Could well be, I only remember that one because the Tom and Jerry reference made me laugh.
Thats been and still is a major problem with the BGS.
Frontiers reluctance to give information in the game on what does what in the BGS.
In the past they have done forum posts and videos which you can search for but they are old and quite often things no longer work that way.
There is also plenty of educated guess work done by players, then posted on forums and social media etc. which can be correct or can be wrong and also is often out of date.
I would suggest that they put the information in the Codex and update the information when something changes.
One location within the game where players can see what is supposed to do what with the BGS.
They don't have a clue since BGS design was outsourced. Just coming back to bite them directly to the butt.
I think you made that up.
