For the upcoming My Colony v0.86.0, I have completely rewritten the code that saves game files. For Regions, the change is particularly large because you no longer need to Return to Region in order to save your region data/resources/tech. This should help with issues people have on Regions where their resources and tech are not saving correctly between the region and the subcity.

Since this is such a significant change to a core part of the game though, I am going to let the new code run on the web version of My Colony for a few days before pushing the update out to all platforms.

If you are brave enough and willing to help test out the new saving code, please do so on the web version of My Colony v0.86.0. Test with both regions and non regions, creative, custom maps, etc. Let me know in this thread what issues you run into. This is one of the core parts of the game, so it has to be golden before the update can appear on other platforms!

It works pretty well, but it is a bit laggy when loading a region. It also is kinda laggy in general.

I would also like to ask if you changed anything regarding homelessness? I have literally double the amount of housing for my people, yet almost 90% of them don't have a job (Which I have enough for all of them) and are homeless...

Awesome thanks Bast!

I can look, but I really haven't changed anything in that regard. There were updates to how virtual colonists work, but those don't even kick in until your population is over 2000.

hmm
ok

otherwise, I'd say that this is pretty stable and it has fixed that problem of losing things. Also, what did you change with the virtual colonists?

I also would like to ask if there is anything different with the way people work/anything different concerning jobs? Because whenever someone goes to "work" they disappear and then go into the nether or something because they aren't actually even employed there :|

By any chance have you also fixed the trading amounts yet? I have starports but in the regions and other maps it only shows the default trading that is available on the map or the last visited map on the region screen.

Also any chance to be able to change the default saving location? I would love to be able move my saves to a network drive.
