[ANN] SatoshiGalaxy - Browser MMORPG + BTC Faucet {FOR SALE}

[jbiting]

I've been playing this game for the past two months. I really enjoy it for the most part. The one thing that really bothers me is the energy counter. You sit and wait patiently for it to fill up, but then you click a link to leave a station and your energy drops 20 points. Go back into the station and it increases 20 points. Do you think this is something that will ever be fixed? Seems to have been an issue for a very long time.

It may be related to the above, but I noticed that if I approach an asteroid and my energy is accumulating, even after it reaches 40, the mining laser button stays disabled.

Can we finally end the orichalcum/plexi shortage? It's been weeks... Imo shortages should really only last a few days, it can be debilitating if certain items are disabled for so long.

[toecutter]

epay doesn't seem to work with withdraws, it's been giving an error for weeks now.

You mean epay/DOGE, right? Cause people are definitely withdrawing BTC via epay just fine.

I'll make sure this is fixed ASAP, thanks for the report.

I'm terribly sorry, I don't have any power over shortage :( I'll try to speed things up on that front, thank you for your patience.

Hello, jbiting!

Thanks for you feedback. The energy meter will likely stay the same for the forseable future; I think I've already posted some explanations how it "really" works before, but here goes:

The actual "burst" happens once per minute. So if you have a +20/min reactor, you should get

00m:00s -- 20 energy
01m:00s -- 40 energy
02m:00s -- 60 energy

What happens "inbetween" those turns is an approximation, derived from the energy rate. The bar just grows according to it, but it doesn't accurately reflect what the server thinks your energy is.

To make matters worse, the actual turns do not all happen exactly at 00s mark, because the time it takes for the turn to compute varries. To make matters even worse, you can obviously hit the page load at something like 00m:30s -- which would make the counter off by 30 seconds. In addition to that (this is minor, relative to other problems), it takes time for the page to be transfered over the Internet and then rendered by your browser, all that lost time is also not accounted for.

To fix all that, complete server re-write is required, and that's not happening any time soon.

TL;DR: don't get too hung up on that meter, use it as a hint/guide.

Here's another thing from your post worth mentioning: the button states (clickable/greyed out) do not care about your energy at all. They only consider the cooldown time (which is represented much more accurately due to it being second-bound, not minute-bound).


@onlinedigger, :/
I really wish CPU would stop leaking completely, but the devs won't budge.

Yes, epay/doge. It has coins but you can't withdraw. If you check the stats it says the last withdraw made of dogecoins is never, so I don't think I'm the only one who has had that problem.

I hope some consideration is given to shortages. Plexiglass is used for so many different things in construction, and what little is out there on the market is gobbled up so quickly that trying to scrounge up enough to make say a biodome is nearly impossible. Shorting something like plexi basically brings the whole game grinding to a halt, if you're at the point where you can build structures anyhow.

Playing more and more people and lag are increasing. Sometimes 10 sec. You can do something about it?

Yup, we'll go ahead with the idea Quellzar (sp?) proposed, it should be in the next update.

Sadly, no. We should just buff-up our server with x2 RAM and CPU power, and we don't have enough players to justify it.
If we ever reach x2 player count, we will definitely do it (and do it again and again, if the amount of players keeps growing).

So, counter-intuitvely, invite MORE players :)

I've whitelisted your IP (that was the main issue with your account), things should be much better for you now.

I'm having issue signing a new BTC Wallet, could use some help there, what am I doing wrong? I'm using multibit and I copy the signed code into the text box but it always gives an error.

I don't think this is correct, for me at least. If I have zero energy, but my shield generator has no cooldown time on it and I go to generate my shields, the button is disabled. If I wait for the energy to rise above 50, 60, 70, up to 100, the button stays disabled until I refresh the page.

[black_wulf]

Getting only 7 CPU points per Charge, fix plz

Hmm, this is strange. Probably a bug then, thank you for the report!

Hello, vihor13. Thanks for your feedback (I guess?).

Could you please repeat this in English so we could actually understand you? Thanks.

[toecutter]

for me such problem did I occupy a planet, for me showed that planet my a population was two men then I was not in a game a few days I call and planet stranger, I on her call without questions but why went out so? and not to turn out so that I will develop there storage and other and then I will not be able there to call

Thanks. OK, I'm taking it you started colonizing a planet, and someone else took it from you?

If that's the case, you can easily take it back by pressing the "claim" button. To stop such endless back and forth, you can (and should!) build a defense grid.

Hope this helps.


Micro update.

• [ENC] Add ability to paste map notes into forum posts. (@Przemax)

i'm trying to build a quarry but it's saying I don't have enough mlk mining lasers.  The one i'm trying to use was probably made by another player and has a durability of 101/101 somehow, i think that is the problem.

[zaiusz]

Dear toecutter, can you remove your 500 bounty for my head, because every who know Russian speaks in Russian in global chat without getting bounty!

Maybe i'll start firing some bounties off in toecutter's absence

[prymus]

Please fix my CPU, thx

[toecutter]

SG2. SSL/Cnnection error and CPU rate +5 :(
CPU rate 0

Please fix my CPU, thx :)

Oops. Should be fine now.

Please do! :)

As you guys realize, I don't read the chat 24/7, so some abuse might go unpunished. I accept anonymous tips/screenshots, though. Please don't hesitate to report someone breaking the rules.

Terribly sorry, missed this question last time.

You are correct, only 100/100 items can be used for crafting. I don't see any immediate harm in allowing exceptional items too, adding this to the list.

As for the 101/101 durability, people indeed can craft such items. I've never mentioned it, because the ticket with this feature is still marked as incomplete.

Hi Toecutter does this mean you will be fixing the laser for me or should i start using it until the durability goes down one??
