Title: Machines: Trace Signal No Longer Times Out?
Post by: MJWkr on April 11, 2016, 10:49:50 AM

Hi, it's been awhile since I've played...I think I was on version 5c last. 

Previously, when you used a machine and then stopped, you could hang out for a few turns (I think ~ 30 or so?) and eventually the machine would give you a message in the log, something like a trace signal was lost, or something like that....Then, you could use the machine again, and the "estimated progress" on the trace would be closer to normal.

Now, however, after hanging out next to a machine for several hundred turns, the letter representing the machine (ex: "S" for scanalyzer) continues to blink and "estimated progress" remains unchanged.

Did I miss something in the updates that accounts for this?

Thanks!

Hey MJWkr, welcome back!

Yep, we did a big overhaul to the hacking system for Alpha 6, which you can read all about here (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=377.0). No more resetting!
