4.88.6 Bug Reports

[Radion]

====================
Type: Systems
Bug: Improperly set max_velocity value for DynamicAsteroids in LI08_peace_river_asteroids.ini.
====================

Value is set to 40 when most other mining fields have a value of 15. I'm guessing this is why mining is such a pain in that field compared to others since I see no other differences.

The field in question compared to the other plat field and a gold field for reference.

Alberta Field

[DynamicAsteroids]
asteroid = DAsteroid_planet_frag_small1
count = 20
placement_radius = 150.000000
placement_offset = 90.000000
max_velocity = 40.000000
max_angular_velocity = 3.000000
color_shift = 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000

Nagano Field

[DynamicAsteroids]
asteroid = DAsteroid_silver
count = 20
placement_radius = 150.000000
placement_offset = 90.000000
max_velocity = 15.000000
max_angular_velocity = 2.000000
color_shift = 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000

Dublin Field

[DynamicAsteroids]
asteroid = DAsteroid_gold
count = 20
placement_radius = 150.000000
placement_offset = 90.000000
max_velocity = 15.000000
max_angular_velocity = 3.000000
color_shift = 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000

To further the case that this is probably an error, every asteroid field with a DynamicAsteroids section in Alberta has this value, so it was probably the result of a copy-paste. Going even further, there are only 10 files in the entire ASTEROIDS folder that have a value of 40 for max_velocity, only two of which are mining fields (the other being the field in Picardy) and three of which are in Alberta alone. Now, compare this to the 240 files that have a max_velocity of 15 in the folder.

I'm not saying this is why mining in that field sucks, but I am pretty sure it is.

Fixed. -Xalrok
