Update! - [BUG] Info-tooltips for cargo are not updated after AJAX'ified market claim. (@onlinedigger)
- [ENC] Add "the other side" of the marketplace. (@pcjob)
- [ENC] Add "trade jobs" for planet owners. (~@5leepyJoe)
- [ENC] Add periodic galaxy-wide item shortages.
- [ENC] Show planet notes as pop-up on profile page. (~@zaiusz)
You can now post buy orders on the market, for other players to fill. Both buy orders and sell offers are now auto-filled against each other if there is a direct match of cargo type, quantity and price range. This means that as you post your wares on the market, you might sell 'em right away, instead of creating a long-standing offer. The inverse is also true, as you post new buy orders, some of them might get resolved immediately. "Direct match" means orders/offers are never filled partially. If you're selling 10 units, someone else must by buying exactly 10, the system won't match multiples of 2 by 5 or 10 by 1 or whatever. Planet owners now can sell stuff off warehouse or order stuff delivered, they can also combine those two options to form a "trade route" between own planets. |

Ps:
to the moderator who edited this post, please I kindly ask if you could contact me privately for another issue (not related to that topic), but since writing "bad idea" is not allowed, there should be also other relevant posts in bitcointalk to edit I wish to report.
Just for the record, he's talking about bitcointalk mods, not me :P I really didnt know it, a lot of faucets, including MT faucets with google adsense use to put ads beside buttons, user's mistake in clicking these button are usually profitable for the website.
They are engaging in fraud, plain and simple.
still paying?
Hello, Lawala. Yup, we're still kicking :)
Some small game workflow suggestions for the devs:
-Clicking on any owned ships in the hangar brings up a small window showing cargo contents
Reason: Managing cargo between multiple ships requires one to switch ships in order to see contents. Becomes time consuming switching ships constantly just to view inventory
-Clicking on your planets in the profile page brings up a status window with more details about modules built on a particular planet
Reason: Currently you actually have to fly to the planet in order to remember what you built
-In planet section of profile page, add the time stamp when the last resource was added
Reason: Can't tell how new a resource is when each message is the same until 'no room in the warehouse'
-Further to planet status in the profile page, viewable inventory contents to see how many resources are in the warehouse
Reason: So you know when it's time to fly out and load up.
If you guys decide all of the planetary intel shouldn't come free, maybe you could make a status communication module which can built on the planet to tell these things :)

Everything added to the list, thank you.
Nice idea on a game and website. Look nice and you have graphics for the ships and mining ore. Why do you not have corperations for players to join and invest their bitcoin into ? Ways for people to invest in the site ? I know that is not easy. Most that do are using a ponzi method. I know that is not what you want of course. If you have a working economy maybe it is possible ? The money players spend on the game is redistributed to investors and the rest is kept as profit for you. It would create much interest in the game.
Hello, Daffadile! Thanks for your feedback. As already noted, this is part of FAQ: http://www.satoshigalaxy.com/help/faq#how-do-i-deposit-money-into-the-game . But to elaborate, we're simply not that kind of game. In SatoshiGalaxy, you can either a) not play b) earn bitcoin, no other options. |

What typo? could you mention it. I did. In PHP example code (for budget) is still uses f_balance as the method. about link, we are working to implement it right now.
will be added today.
Cool, thank you! |

just tried killing an npc trucker. cant say what it would have gotten me because cons blew me to pieces before i could get my loot. I figured it would get me shot by them as it was in an orange sector but the long waits for loot vs the very short cons response time seems a little off, at least to me. it kind of makes bothering with them anywhere but in the reds a good way to waste time wrecked for nothing.
Noted, thank you.
Any plans this weekend for the speedzoom?
When speedzoom start
Yeah, sorry about that, but we decided to tone it down with the speedzoom. Last time it was on, we collected some interesting data, which suggested everything is too broken to make it a permanent feature. It will be back, but probably not too soon.
Server energy bug since about 1 hour
Solved
Yup, another bug fixed. There are probably 2-3 more of it's kind lurking there, so please expect more similar failures in the future, but it should be getting better.
I sometime click over ads hoping that it will increase sustenability and help the devs because elseway they wouldnt be able to profit enough to cover expenses.
Thanks for your consideration, but please do not click on the ads in order to help us. You should only click them if they personally interest you. |

Hi lets check this after the other things you have mentioned. and we have update our API check here: https://epay.info/API/You have a typo on that page Anyways, we have a slight problem implementing ePay payments. We're used to other microwallets having a "check balance" pages, accessible by simple URLs, so we can link to those pages. For example, on FaucetBOX (forgive me for mentioning it on your thread, but as it's closing, I hope it's fair), one can go to https://faucetbox.com/en/check/1bitcoinAddress and see the balance. Couldn't find anything like it for ePay. |

Oh, hey, I'd like that very much. PM me? Long story short, managing a twitter account and a facebook page is part of my job description, but I managed to avoid it, as I personally hate both those services. But I'm guessing I'm running out of excuses now :(
bug - chat latches always default to alliance when refreshing to the next page
Also, the latch should be optional and not forced. Monitoring the log is more important, having it the default would be better
Lastly, the default log you used to get after a page refresh before was like a hybrid of everything ... all log messages, private chats, squad chats... if you click on the log tab itself it always got rid of those extra things revealing only the local and planetary messages. Having all that stuff viewable in the timeline at once is pretty useful, if we can still have the defaulted hybrid log as an option.
Thanks, I've been told the latch thing should work better now. And you still can get the default/hybrid/full-timeline view, by unselecting currently active tab. For example, if you are on the alliance tab, just click "alliance" again. 100% unintuitive, as always, I've added a "do something about it" item to the TODO list. But I think this covers all the use cases outlined by zaiusz nicely. Please follow this up if you still think the chat is messed up. |

As for my trucker I submitted the transfer request right now
Requested transfer of '858567867458845' (for 7641 satoshi)
which seems to be successfully done
Glad to hear it. It was just a confusing error message after all.
Toecutter, something to think about regarding pcjob's trucker he purchased from me. It was sold through my planet's marketplace since there is no marketplace in the Lesath station. (it cost me friggin 6000 satoshi to tow it from the station in Lesath to my planet in the same system  ) Anyway, if he chose to fly up there to get it, he wouldn't have been able to because my landing permissions don't allow visitors. There's obviously an easy workaround, that I set him up to land on the planet. But maybe you should default it so that ships purchased from other players go to the closest THX or something like that. Hmm, interesting. I wouldn't be particularly worried, as one can always request a transfer to his current location. Same-system transfers should be really cheap, BTW, I'm guessing it's your Fleet Overheard kicking in.
Just curious if broken items are actually supposed to be able to be placed for sale on the market?. Obviously people should be watching what they buy of course, but I can really only see this leading to disappointment if anybody is not paying quite enough attention before they buy something......
That's true, but yeah, that's intentional. I'm also not quite sure, but I think there are still some uses for broken items. I'll get back to you on that.
By the way Toecutter, i've been meaning to ask this question but just reminded now. What's up with the rarity of sapphire crystals in a planet's mineral composition? Out of the 60-80 some-odd planets I know of, I think I've only ever heard of two planets that produce sapphires (although there may be a few more out there). Is that intentional to prevent easier/cheaper lapidary?
Also, one of my planets has 'very low' orichalcum... with 1000 miners it takes 13 hours to produce one lousy piece. It was the same planet I originally had the bug that said it had none, but it actually did. Am I just super unfortunate that it is so low it's practically non-existent or is something wrong?
More about that, gradation in low, very low etc. it's far from accurate.  I have 2 very low ruby planets. First produce 1 ruby per day(1000miners) second 1 per 4days. Similar is with other resources too. Maybe it will be better to gradate mineral richness in points from 0 to 10, or 100? Not sure about the sapphire situation, I'll ask for a printout. As for the gradation, you guys are right, not only is it not granular, it's kinda off by a few points too.
Small update. - [ENC] Make planetary mineral richness display more accurate (again). (@zaiusz+@kakucis006)
- [ENC] "Latch" currently selected chat tab between screen refreshes. (@zaiusz)
- [ENC] Make Unicast the default option for chatting.
- [ENC] Add ability to unselect current chat tab by clicking it.
- [BUG] Click-on-nick in chat didn't work in Firefox.* (@onlinedigger)
* This was fixed a few days ago, but I think it's worth mentioning. And you can also double-click on nicks to start private messaging session quickly (similar to "hail" button); not sure when exactly this became a thing. Planet owners: your minerals did not change, all the rates are the same, it's just the display that got changed. (People assumed the opposite last time around, so I better say this right away). |

yeah unfortunatly I have been terribly concise in the mean term!!! :)
That's also due to my different native language.
I checked your mp, I will send you some feedback asap! In the meanwhile thank you!
NP, SatoshiGalaxy is well-known for bad user interface, confusing concepts and lack of proper documentation. Trying to make up for it :)
Update! - [BUG] Planets expose their mineral composition as soon as quarry is built.* (@zaiusz)
- [BUG] Wrong error message is displayed when players lack satoshi to transfer their ships. (@pcjob)
- [ENC] Show all sectors with player ships on the map. (@7fantastic11)
- [ENC] Slightly increase hunting job rewards.
- [ENC] Add debris-cleaning job.**
* This one is embarrassing. It was reported like months ago, we did nothing to fix it, and we leaked lots of data in the meantime. Oh well. ** It may look like an easy one, for newbies to feed on, but it actually requires some strategy to pull off. |

Ok, This game is great. but I bought a trucker and it is in a place called Gorgonia Tertia. Does anybody have any idea where that is? When I bought the deal yesterday it was in some corner of "dangerville". So I make my way out that way, like past Terebellium-E and Kajam, and as I go to check out my "ships" on the profile drop-down, it seems to have moved to this new location: Gorgonia Tertia. I have no idea how to fetch my trucker and need some help, please.
Hello, 7fantastic11! Thanks for your feedback. FYI, "broadcast" or "sector-wide" messages are only delivered to people in the same sector you are. If you want to ask people for help, a better bet would be using "unicast" or "galaxy-wide" messages (you can also select this option by clicking on "Global" tab in the chat). BTW, people make this mistake all the time, do you guys think we should make Unicast the default option? As for your actual question, I'm not at liberty to disclose sector locations, but other players will likely help you out with that.Edit: Check your starmap. You should now be able to see the sector in question.
You may summon it with a fee into your galaxy.
I have a similar situation of yours my problem is that
I bought a trucker that was parked in Lesath II galaxy.
Now when I go into the market, in the ships tab I see that there's a "Transfer cost"
I am ok with that but beside it there's a timer that is stuck at 162
Among that when I click the "transfer here" button in order to summon the trucker in the place I get error "Terminal malfunction"
What does it mean?
OK, first things first. 1. The correct term for the star system is, well, "star system" or "sector". The galaxy is the whole thing :) 2. The "clock" icon is used to indicate cooldown costs, and the "hourglass" icon is used to indicate the actual current cooldown timer which is counting down. So the timer is not stuck, as it's not even a timer! 3. When you get "terminal malfunction" or "cargo bay malfunction" or "climate error" or a similar non-sensible message, it usually means there's some deeper problem underneath (like things not being properly synchronized server-side). Please just try again, and it should work the second time around. However, if the problem persists, it most certainly is a serious bug, so please report this as soon as possible. And yeah, looks like you've found one! I'll send you a PM regarding this momentarily. (Terribly sorry for the 1-2-3 points, not meant to poke at you; it's just that as other players read those posts, it's important to establish correct terminology to minimize the potential confusion). |

Ehi guys, we need a trade forum here, I wish make an announcement!
We do really need an in-game notice board!
We had plans for "Diplomacy and Warfare" (war declarations, disscusions and alliance forging), "Economy and Trade" (basically ads for your in-game services) and "Squad Recruitment" boards. But given the very low number of players we have, it's not really worth it; it's easier to read all the posts on a single board for now. If we ever reach higher player turnout, we'll probably reconsider. Anyways, I don't mind, and bitcointalk moderators probably don't mind either (feel free to correct me), so feel free to post your announcements here; but keep in mind that the in-game forum is still probably better suited for this. |

You only gain a skill point if crafting is successful. Burns do not count.
Thanks :) That is correct! Similar rules apply to other skills as well (aiming grows only on successful hits, evading grows only if you managed to evade, etc).
Thanks, I think this was fixed. Is it still broken for you?
Due to multiple reports of missing loot, we have added some pirate chatter to aid us (and players) with figuring out what's going on. Missing hunting/rolls should work too, but please report if you still miss them.
energy is stuck atm
I've been told we missed it again (and there's nothing in the logs). Sorry about that, investigation goes on. |
|
|

Absolutely not. If you somehow play 24 hours a day (for whatever reason), it's fine by us.
I keep game opened, is it same? Yeah, no problems here. It's also the only way to collect all the log messages, so people tend to do this. Thank you! Fixed, I believe.
Today have killed 1 NPC trucker and get nothing in loot (it was in green sector, maybe that's the reason?) Even more, under hunting/rolls was no trucker there... Thanks. Due to multiple reports of missing loot, we have added some pirate chatter to aid us (and players) with figuring out what's going on. Missing hunting/rolls should work too, but please report if you still miss them. Is that normal that pirates are attacking those truckers?
Yup. |
|
|
|
Thanks, guys! It's this thing, continued. We'll fix it next time it pops up. Oh, and, is there maybe a limit a player can play?
Absolutely not. If you somehow play 24 hours a day (for whatever reason), it's fine by us. |

ok, I broke something else  When i landed on a planet all of the mining and refining etc. tabs show up at once underneath each other. also, i can no longer click on the equipment in the ship screen to see the item info. and i also cant use the the chat function, i cant click on the text space and all the buttons are greyed out. I also cant get off the planet now...... I tried reloading the page a couple times and no change, i also tried logging out and back in without any success....... I'm kinda stuck like that now. Sorry for bringing more good news  (edit) when i click on the undock arrow it changes colour as if selected but doesnt do anything. if i click on info,modules etc. tabs itscycleslikeits gonna load anew page but goes right back to where i started. Hehe, I think the devs are conspiring to make my weekends as painful as possible. Please try refreshing your cache (like Ctrl+F5). |

There are misunderstands with which stuff can be used for crafting/building. When i bought used MLK-I mining laser i can't manufacture MLK-Iz from it (not enough mining lasers ). In this case a little help in http://www.satoshigalaxy.com/help/manual#durability-e section about possible actions with damaged equipment will be helpful[?]. Yeah, that's reasonable, the manual will be updated. SpeedZoom not working engine/scaner/MLK-Iz cooldown on its usual time Should be all good now. Thanks for the report!
Hi, so that is a great idea about halved equipment cooldowns on weekends. Is the energy recharge speed also doubled to suit? If it's not, the faster cooldown time might not matter too much  No... I mean yes. Sorry for the false-start earlier today, looks like it wasn't as smooth as planned.
Just wanted to mention that reactors for a few of us at least and possibly everybody seem to be loosing durability at a very rapid rate that would see them broken within a week or two by what we have been guessing though i haven't done the exact math. At this rate we will all likely be in a spot of trouble or need to stop playing to avoid it before the end of the weekend if not before..... (edit)Seems this was under discussion while i was writing it, so it can be ignored For people not following the in-game chat, please don't worry too much about your durability rates. We had some more bugs to work out, and it should be fine now. But if it all comes down crashing and burning, we'll restore everyone's equipment. |

This looks worse, than it actually is. Those popups are not getting relevant information after AJAXified claims. Refreshing your page should give you the up-to-date info. Thanks for the report! My advise is remove used items and replace them with 'n' mark like newbies ship/engine/mining laser
The "Failing" (and similar marks) are just a textual representation of the durability state. I believe it goes gradually from "[no mark]" to "new" to "mint" to "used" to "failing" to "broken", depending on the value. |
|
|
|
Numbers looks pretty good!
No, no, they look pretty bad! It should be around 6 months now instead of 48 years. But, I don't know maybe is something wrong, but i'm loosing durability points very fast and it started beck then when I get first Enforcer. So at the end I decide just not to repair ships, reactors and engines.
Yeah, I remember that. I also remember it had something to do with Slicing Lasers (or maybe not). To be honest, we haven't looked into it, but I'll make sure we do now, as lots of durability-related bugs have been exposed after today's update. And back again, i'm not sure that my durability works correct. I need to be killed maybe 3 or 4 times and my ship durability drops down to 0/100.
And similar with equipment....
Hmm, it should never go directly to zero, should be a more gradual thing, that's for sure. Same bug, it seems. It works nice with used equipment now, if you shoot with damaged beam, you get only 1 damage point, or mine 1 ore. I think that's is how it's supposed to be, and I think is right. But how it works on engines? Or reactors? Maybe it will be much better if damaged item just has longer cooldown time? For example: new engine - 10 min., at 50% - 15min, 10% - 20min.? Same with reactors, just produce lower amount of energy per minute...
By the way -- used equipment SHOULD NOT be useless from the get go, that's a bug. Here's how it's supposed to work. A piece of equipment with 2/2 durability should be just as useful as one with 50/50 or 100/100 -- as all those values give you 100%. But a 1/2 item (or 50/100) gives you a 50% chance of failure (or "fizzle"). When an item fizzles, it reduces the output to the lowest possible value of it's kind. So, yeah, mining lasers, energy beams, etc only deal 1 point of damage, engines simply fail the jump, and reactors... I'm not sure what happens to those, probably nothing (yet another bug). This is not something new, by the way, we assumed this worked correctly all this time. Apparently not. Your idea of increased cooldowns is rather good, we'll probably adjust it to be like that in the future. But let's iron out all the bugs first.
after buying equipment page scroll down to Shipyard (/dock#equipment and /dock#shipyard identical).
Filed, thank you! Should be fixed now.
OK, I'm losing track here, the devs are pushing live updates all day long. Is everything still broken, or are we getting there? |

There is no description for used items on stations, but when i bought one i can see it Filed, thank you!
When the inventor of chess showed it to the emperor of India, the emperor was
so impressed by the new game, that he said to the man:
"Name your reward!"
The man responded,
"Oh emperor, my wishes are simple. I only wish for this. Give me one grain
of rice for the first square of the chessboard, two grains for the next square,
four for the next, eight for the next and so on for all 64 squares."
This seemed to the ruler to be a modest request, so he called for his servants
to bring the rice. How surprised he was to find that the rice quickly covered
the chess board, then filled the palace!
In a similar fashion, our durability formula (100 + 99 + 98 .. + 1), did not add up to what we intuitively expected. 100 + 99 + 98 + 97 + 96 + 95 + 94 + 93 + 92 + 91 + 90 + 89 + 88 + 87 + 86 + 85
+ 84 + 83 + 82 + 81 + 80 + 79 + 78 + 77 + 76 + 75 + 74 + 73 + 72 + 71 + 70 + 69
+ 68 + 67 + 66 + 65 + 64 + 63 + 62 + 61 + 60 + 59 + 58 + 57 + 56 + 55 + 54 + 53
+ 52 + 51 + 50 + 49 + 48 + 47 + 46 + 45 + 44 + 43 + 42 + 41 + 40 + 39 + 38 + 37
+ 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 + 31 + 30 + 29 + 28 + 27 + 26 + 25 + 24 + 23 + 22 + 21
+ 20 + 19 + 18 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4
+ 3 + 2 + 1 + 0
= 5050
5050 whooping durability points! Then, we had something like a 1 in 1000 chance of breakage (i.e. applying the durability damage). That's 5 million points! Given that the breakage only happens on use, and average cooldown for item use is 5 minutes, we get 5050000 * 5 = 25250000 minutes of item lifetime
If your head is not spinning yet, 25250000 minutes is 420833 hours or 17534 days or 48 years.Not a bad investment for a piece of equipment! The guy responsible for this was scolded harshly. We're bringing this in line with what was actually expected...
And we're going to experiment with "speed zoom", by making everything work faster x2 times. This is going to be active from each Friday evening to Monday morning (UTC). The yields for everything are NOT halved during this time, so it's essentially double earnings. Please, please, report anything that goes wrong. We have been testing this for quite some time, but we probably still missed a lot. |

selling items not influence on price, right?
It should. It's been like that since forever. If it doesn't there's a bug... after update very hard get profit from CPUs was crafted 8 CPUs and after selling them lose 2k, but almost return money back when continue crafting Yeah, that's the general idea. If it doesn't help, we'll have to implement the crafting cooldown timer, but that would piss so many people off, we're holding this option off as a last ditch resort...
Re: all the hate mail. I get it, guys, nerfs are a pain. But watching our wallet balance going further and further down is not exciting either. |

now i can try out rocket luncher before buy new one:) NPC market become crazy  http://prntscr.com/d5q85zPrice goes even higher Yay! Crafted 8 CPU - sell them and lose 2k Sorry, I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying there is something wrong with NPC pricing (in general), or are you saying that the CPUs crafted before the update became worthless after it? Or something else?
Super evil (and long-standing!) bug was fixed just now. NPC were not taking durability into account when you were selling damaged equipment to them. Was pretty hard to notice when the gear stayed in 98/99 (and the like) range, but with 2/2 gear it became painfully obvious. |
