Research problem
« on: March 24, 2014, 10:25:55 pm »
hy all,

As a soc crafter i needed to do most of the research in the past, at the moment i have pure water, couple of fauna and two with sitt left. Before the end of chipping out i could have asked a socmate to research a bit for me, but that wont work anymore. I asked for a reset, but devs don't do that. Not can't, but don't, according to their answer. Good thing they thought out their moves so well and are trying to make the transition to new as smoothly as possible for the players. So is my only choice left now either continuing with the pure water or stop playing? Or am i not seeing another option?

Grtz,
Byrd

That is a good question ... how does a player gain Experimentation skills if they have completed all research when Experimentation can only be given against incomplete research (and research is the only way to get it)?

Research is the best source of several other skills as well (generated by other activities at a much lower level)

What is the point of gaining skills by repeatedly failing to achieve a goal anyway?

Shouldn't a player simply be able to repeat successful research?

We are going to rebalance craft after the drop, and most likely research too. When this moment comes, I'll look into this trouble, but not earlier.

thx Anti for the reply, knowing that it'll get worked on is enough for now. I was feeling like i was caught between a rock and a hard place ...

no NU rock btw  8)

And Jane's suggestion about enabling the automate button for research that has allready been done, might be a good temporary workaround.
