I haven't ever tried setting my taxes below 40%... guess I'll need to try it and see what you guys are talking about with this bug.

You're talking about the star system improvment?

Just adding a warning and then, you have to fix the problem.

On this I agree! Warn me first - provide "automatic" option and manual option.

Confirmed ~ this seems terribly bugged. Turn 40 on UE, and I've never been off tax 0%, and never run a negative.

Alpha-1 had it easy on dust, but you still had to have at least one major production system industry->dust.

Alpha-2 seems to be "CAKE! FREE CAKE!" land.

Though if you have a negative bank balance it's just going to start scraping things constantly on you anyway right? Keep that situation long enough and the AI will come eat you up anyway so not sure the devs really need to end your game, I can for see a situation where one might go negative for awhile even into the thousands but still have a recoverable situation so I wouldn't support a negative amount that automatically ends the game, especially not one so low.

Maybe I should clarify, I am getting +300 dust a turn with 0% tax rate and no systems doing ind-dust production. And this was with the cravers.

Same here, Alpha 2 is way to easy in terms of money gaining.

It seems that with the new tax mechanism you just have to put the slider on 0% @t1 and it is done, you dont have to play with it until and of the game, the dust will always be here.

I have tested it with two differents races to compare (hard lvl, slow), and it has been the same each time. I know that the conversion think Ind > Dust seems bugged, so I didnt use it in my two games.

I dont know if it works as intended, but anyway it is a little too easy now I think...

In my two games since the patch I have noticed my tax slider has pretty much always been on 0 or 5% I don't even use ind-dust.
