I didn't do anything wrong. I spin up new colonies when I get bored from working on my Masters. I've been unemployed since February and this game has been one of my only diversions. I got hit by the tax, lost almost a trillion coin. Sucks, but okay. I can get that back. Resources being lost, that's something else. Since there were no storage requirements, I didn't build steel yards. With the 50 Advanced Ore, I have several millions steel capacity, no need to staff a steel yard. Brick warehouses, sure. Even quantum. Those don't store gold.

None of it really matters. The owner has shown his contempt for the userbase. Fine, no problems. I can find a new game. I've left my reviews on the MS store and the Android store. I've deleted my save games, and removed the clients.

I will find a game where the developer doesn't take a crap on the users and then get snippy if they protest.

The reviews:

My Colony was a great game, but after the developer punished the entire userbase for the actions of a few, players are leaving in droves. Don't bother.

The moment everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived, the release of My Colony v0.50.0 - the fighting 50!

There was also a new Galactic Emperor tax levied. This is the Emperor's highest tax ever, coming in at 95% of everything over $750m, and 100% of everything over $10b. This was imposed because of the API hacker who auto-purchased every contract on the market, leaving some players with an ungodly amount of money. If you got your money legitimately, then I am sorry, but this is the way it is. You can thank the abusers for the tax.

bastecklein "If that causes you to ragequit then I am sorry to see you go but there is nothing I can do about it. If it causes My Colony to die as a game, then that is what happens."

Well you say that he punished only for a few people but when those few people sold all the ressources for no money im sure everyone was click spamming gbt

Sorry @DPrice1972 you are so upset. I do not have contempt for the players of the game. I have explained what I did and why I did it in very precise details, absent sugar coating. Just because you do not like it does not mean I hate the players of the game. I am sorry you think I am taking a crap on you. I am not very good at treating people with kids gloves, as I am a software developer and not a PR guy. But as you said, you are in grad school and not a child. The reality is that the MC server was (and continues to be) under attack, I had to put in a quick fix to stop the bleeding. The fix was not perfect but will be improved with time. If I would have given a warning of the fix, the same people who were abusing the system before would have altered their behavior to circumvent the fix.

I don't know how many times this needs to be expressed, but this is a game very much in development, and nothing as it is right now is set in stone. It is clearly stated in the app store description and even inside of the game itself. You are right that I could have just deleted all colonies and started from scratch, and the thought has crossed my mind. But I have taken great pains to keep colonies started with the very first releases of the game working through every single update.

At the end of the day, the mechanics of the game changed and the way you designed your colony was not compatible with the new mechanics. It's not your fault, but it's what happened. Under better circumstances there would have been a heads up, as I have given more than ample heads up for the upcoming Trash and Atmosphere changes. But I had to protect the online mode from attack, I mean it was so bad that the entire GBT was hosed. So I fixed it and closed long-standing loopholes that existed in the game. This is part of the development process.

I think I have always been very accommodating to the community here, but as you said this last change was too much for you and you are out. You left your reviews and deleted the game, so I will say goodbye to you and wish you good luck.

Bastecklein do this:
1:
if in the trade center the price are to hight delet it and put a message to him to say
if you continu to do trade to highter your colony can be delet or examin by a humain and you will punish

2:
look who cheat (if is it possible) and tell him
you have cheat if you continu you will look your colony disbuild and can be Pousuivit by the justice of my colony

I'll be honest because I want to see this game succeed and such but regulating with such a heavily hand will drop all your expericed players. I'm just adding some friendly advice but regulating too much will kill the gam. I'll be sticking with it to see what comes but updates like these will kill it for the future. Also just to add kinda need some more quantum storage.

Sorry but I dont know in what world you live but if someone wants to do this , you wont change much by doing this (kinda reminds of something similar in France)

it is very radical but if cheater continu
it is possible to 'tag' the PC for if they do a new colony

'kinda reminds of something similar in France'

Hatepigeon said:I too somehow lost all my uranium when I deactivated my nuke plant. I was just trying to go green!!! Oh well it's a new colony after being away from the game for 6 months. I know the drill, it was only 10k or so.

Oi are you the same one that was under me in Utopia Planitia? Back in april / may?
