Starting on Dec 1, 2014 using melee weapons (and perhaps other activities - but I have no data on that) stopped giving me advances in speed skill at the normal rate. Since then I have gotten more points of fencing skill from using melee weapons than I have gotten of speed skill. I am attaching action logs from the end of Nov through early Dec for days when I used melee weapons. Compare speed skill increase rate (as compared to other melee weapon skill increases) from the attached files before Dec 1 (Nov 24, 28, 29, 30 - days when I used melee weapons) with the increase rate from the attached files after dec 1 (Dec 1, 5, 7).
I have sent in a bug ticket on this, but it's important to determine if this problem is specific to me or a general problem affecting everyone, so please check your action logs (Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\AfterWorld Survival\Action logs) for days before and after Dec 1 that you used melee weapons and let me (and the devs) know whether it is a general problem.
Thanks.

Wrong terminal at timbering building in Sar. The terminal inside the building is the tannery terminal, not the wood processing one. Checked to see if they were somehow switched (with the wood working terminal in tailoring building now), but they're not. The tailoring terminal has a tannery terminal in the normal spot, just like always, making 2 tannery terminals and 0 wood working terminals in Sar.

About 24 hours ago I logged in for a little combat skilling to finish leveled one of my skills at the NU south gate. After getting the congratulations message saying that I had finished leveling it, I logged out by the gate.
When I logged back in about 8 hours later I was a noobot and had to return to NU OP to get a clone. After getting a new clone, I checked storage to unload loot and saw everything was duplicated.
I decided to deal with the mess in storage later and went out to the south gate to skill some more. After 20 minutes of skilling I got the message that I had (once again) leveled the same skill as I had leveled the previous playing session. After a while I returned to the OP and logged for the night after checking the status of my melee skills.
When I logged in this morning inside the OP, I was a noobot again. Remembering the events of yesterday, I checked storage and found that the duplicate items had been removed. When I checked my skills, I found that the skill that I had already leveled twice was back to being 2 ticks from the next level, which was back where it was before I started 24 hours ago. Other skills were also rolled back to that time.
It's like the past 24 hours never happened as far as skills go, even though I still have the loot and my weapons/tools have all decayed.
Anyone else experience this? If so, is it just an NU event, or wider ranging issue?

Only been playing ~6 months, so there's a lot more that I don't know than I do.
Chipped out my mining skills (geology, nature, geo propecting, landscape, etc) so I can keep on picking and raise the picking skills that also raise mining high enough to get past 82 freq and on to ores that are actually worth mining. My Geology was at 5 when I chipped out to go back to geology 3 and I've since added enough to geology that it would probably be ~7 if I put the chip back in (and it will probably be a lot more when the time actually comes to put the chips back in). I notice on the wiki that geology skill only applies to picking and to no other skill.
So, my question is: when the time comes to put the chips back in, what is the point of unblocking geology once 5 is completed? Since there is no advantage thatI I can see to spending sau on training geology to 6, 7 and however much higher my chips will potentially make possible, why spend the sau on doing so?
Geology 3 opens geo prospecting, 5 is already paid for with sau, but why go higher?

As everyone in NU already knows, slugroaches have been slowly disappearing for the past few months. As recently as a few weeks ago there were 4 (2 males & 2 females) still spawning at the far west end of the west corn field and 1 female in the east corn field. Two weeks ago the 4 in the west stopped respawning and yesterday the 1 in the east did also stopped spawning.
What happened yesterday, though, is worth detailing, as it may offer a clue to the problem of the disappearing spawn.
It started when I found the lone female in the east field and attacked with my pugio and then started shifting back and forth between healing and attacking like normal in order to grind out avoids and other melee + healing skills. After a very short time another female spawned right next to us (me and the bug I was fighting). Within a minute or 2 another spawned, and then another, and then another, and then another (5 total). I was attacked by one of the new bugs that spawned too close and killed the first. It may not have respawned because the total number of bugs seemed to settle at 4. A society mate (Catalist) happened by at that time and engaged one of the other bugs. I later had to kill another bug but it did respawn and the total number held 4. Catalist and I continued to grind skills for a while and then I crashed (client locked up). When I logged back in all the bugs were gone and Catalist told me they all went poof when I crashed. Both Catalist and I have been checking the east field regularly for the past ~24 hours and no more bugs have spawned. They seem to have gone the way of the Dodo, never to be seen alive again in the world.

Finally got my mining skills high enough to try UG mining and a society mate made me the lowest level (82 freq) equipment. So far I have done over 200 scans for both minerals and ores and gotten absolutely no (zero, zilch, nada) hits. Not even one. The SAU rating on the scanners is 52% and rising. I'm getting SAU and skills and I've unlocked one skill (scanning practice), so I assume I'm not doing anything wrong that would prevent successful scanning. I've tried south of Sar, east of Sar, in the hills north of Sar west, in the hills on the diagonal shortcut over the hills between NU and Sar, and specific places where Soc and Corp mates tell me there are definitely freq 82 deposits and gotten nothing at all on the scanners.
I know higher level freqs are working (soc mates are mining successfully). Is 1 hit in >200 tries the expected norm for people just starting out in UG mining, is there something wrong with the low level freqs, or won't the scans work until I eventually unlock all the hidden mining skills (am I supposed to keep throwing out hundreds more scans until I eventually unlock them)?
Anyone able to tell me whether I should wait for a fix or just keep on burning up my rather expensive equipment in this rather frustrating attempt to be able to do UG mining?
Thanks for any info you can give me.

This happened to me 2 days ago and to a society mate today, so it's not an isolated problem. For me, it happened when I entered storage building in NU, DCd and logged back in. For him, it happened in the same building after he logged out and logged back in later.
The problem manifests as similar to the grey screen with HUD visible, but with the sky showing instead of grey. You can't move and relogging with and without a reboot of comp does not clear it (the way it would a grey screen). In both cases the only solution was to call a travel bot and rez as a clone (at the cost of a clone).
My best guess is that we both somehow fell through the floor/ground and out of the normal game world, but that's just a guess.

Every time I launch the client the game opens in a reduced size window and I have to manually maximize it. The probem is that many of my moveable HUD elements get compressed to fit in the reduced size window and stay in the position they were moved to even after I maximize the game window (e.g., I get my chat overlapping my hotbar) and every time I have to move them back to the position I want them in. It's getting annoying (given the frequent crashed and relaunches of client - I'm not complaining about the crashes. It's beta. Just the need to fiddle with my setup so often). Right clicking the game shortcut and selecting properties -> maximize window just expands and distorts the log-in screen and doesn't affect the actual game window (which still opens in reduced size). Options panel -> video -> full screen seems to be disabled (the hot button is dead) doesn't work either. I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

OK. I contributed and bought citizenship for AWD. The NPC dialog said I would get some clothes (still only have my underwear and some odds and ends a kind player gave me), a better gun (the NE gun I have barely scratches the mobs), and a realty certificate.
I made it to Saransk and found the NPCs in the storage building who gave me the realty certificate and took my DNA, but I can't find any other NPC's outside or in the other buildings who I can talk to in order to get my other gifts. Is this a bug that I need to report or is he/she/they just carefully hidden and I'm just not being careful enough in my search?

Having trouble figuring a few things out. Any help would be appreciated.
1) How do you see your skills and eventually increase them (once you have the credits)?
2) Where in Urengoy is the probation officer. All I find are the ones offering mining missions for certificates and a third one telling me the probation officer is by a red pipe (which I also can't find).
3) How do you drop/destroy items that are in 0 condition and can't be repaired? right clicking them gives no options and dragging them into the world doesn't work.
4) Is the only way to get newbie clothes by buying citizenship? I didn't get any during the tutorial.
5) How to you auto repeat/stop weapon/tool use?
That's about it for now. Thanks in advance for any help.
