Since I've found a few that are worthy of note I'll include them in detail as to aid in whatever way I can to see them remedied.

 

Custom Faction Bugs:

 

  • Summary: After logging off and restarting the game, I noticed that Custom Factions also become impossible to delete.
    • Note: They also become un-editable. May have to go into my own cache to try and erase it manually.
    • Reproduced: 1/1

  • Summary: As others have noted, custom factions can be noted to become unselectable from game creation screen.
    • Note: This issue however only arose for me after I attempted to edit my first itteration of the faction.
    • Steps
      • Create custom faction
      • Select it as the one you plan to use.
      • Edit the faction's affinity (Eg. Planet Brokers to Slave Drivers)
      • Switch to another faction (Any default)
      • Attempt to use the afformentioned custom faction
    • Reproduced: 2/2
    • Note: It is possible that overwriting old faction data causes an error.

  • Summary: Custom Craver Factions do not have the option to use Cravers Prime skin
    • Note: Not sure if this is a bug, or intentional. But I found it disappointing all the same. Perhaps this could be assigned to a faction trait if a player chooses to create a custom Cravers race.
    • Steps
      • Create custom faction with Craver leadership.
      • Select said faction as that which you wish to use.
    • Reproduced: 2/2

  • Summary: Custom faction descriptions do not read out on bottom right, and occasionally wipe themselves
    • Description: Pretty self explanitory, I tried to make a mini-lore note for myself to explain an edge case where Craver merchants would make sense, to no avail.
    • Steps
      • Create faction with no description
      • Save said faction
      • Return to it and add a description
    • Reproduced: 1/1

  • Summary: Voicelines tied to faction affinity, not appearance
    • Description: I noticed that when I made planet brokers that were Cravers, the voicelines and story arc for Lumeris still came up. They simply don't fit well together.
    • Note: Also worth noting, when I made this faction, It began life as Lumeris, which was then switched to Cravers. This may be an alternate source of the mismatch.
    • Steps
      • Create custom faction
      • Select alternate affinity (E.G. Planet Brokers for Cravers leader)
      • Save faction
      • Change faction to any default faction
      • Return to the Custom faction to hear voiceline mismatch
    • Reproduced2/2

Hi simplymasterful,


Thank you for your feedbacks! 


I've had a look at all your issues today, here are a few things I've found out.


First, there seemed to be a mistake in the game's data, preventing a player to play a customized Cravers population. From what I've read in the description of the bugs you encountered, that might solve a few things. Also, the fact you can't use the Cravers Prime skin on a customized Cravers is an oversight, it will be added soon.


Then, the way I use to handle the addition/edition/deletion of custom faction was a bit buggy, which caused the apparent deletion of your faction description and the weird behaviours after the edition or deletion of a faction. I'm sorry about the backstory of your Cravers Merchants, that did sound like an interesting premise :/ If you haven't edited the faction afterward, the content should still be safe in the xml file of the faction. I've managed to adress these problems and you should receive the fixes quite soon.


Finally, I've noticed the voiceover issue too late before the release. There was not enough time for the fix to be sent safely but I can assure you that will part of a patch coming soon.


Again, many thanks for the feedbacks!

Alex.

Great to hear all around. 


Glad to hear that I wasn't too far off with a lot of what I found, and that the Cravers Prime for custom races is something I have to look forward to in the near future. Thank you for your hard work.~

The Cravers Prime Skin issue disapointed me as well. I think the Skin looks amazing. And I wnated it for my...more peacefull, yet still Slave driving "Reformed" Faction. 



Also to your second issue I found an easier way to temporarely solve it: Safe the CF (Custom Faction), if possible, than go back to the main menu. Click again on Single Player and your CF is now selected.
