Re: Providing save game files for technical support
Hi I raised some technical issues on FB with the latest content additions and was redirected here.
I have version 8.2.13, all DLC but no mods running.
1) So first bug that is the most prominent:
ports often import things like prepared coffee, cacke, pizza (stuff that you'd make in a service firm).
However you can't sell them in stores (unselectable) nor as an input at the service firm level.
So either they should be removed in ports, or added as a sellable item in either stores or service firms.
2) Second bug (don't have it saved unfortunatly):
When you copy service firms, they often don't copy the linked firm with them, meaning you manually have to re-link every input.
The same happens sometimes when using the recipe with an intial creation of a service firm.
Neither occurs for factories.
3) 3rd bug/oversight.
The new crops for farms (potatoes, olives,...) can't be added via recipe (see attached image)
Guess this is the easiest fix.

I tested this a few times. The copied service firms all ran successfully with linked inputs. If you encounter this again, please send us your savegame for investigation.snoomtreb wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 9:20 pm 2) Second bug (don't have it saved unfortunatly):

We will get add them to the layout plan library.

Re: Providing save game files for technical support
My game sometimes closes out of nowhere, it's not a specific bug but it closes whenever it wants, it's very annoying because I do several things and it closes, I need to save EVERY TIME, it seems like the game guesses I'm not there saving all the time and after an hour for example it closes out of nowhere, it's sad and angry.......
My save is 14MB in size, how do I attach it here? my version 9.1.65, only subsidiariy DLC and no MODs.

Re: Providing save game files for technical support
1- I didn't receive an error message, it simply closed (not the first time)
2- I'll look into this tool you suggested

Re: Providing save game files for technical support
I recommend that you reinstall the game by downloading the latest version v9.1.66 full installer from viewtopic.php?t=9319 and see if it will resolve it.
