Darnok Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) So I get the same problem after registering this build in its seperate thread - the settlement size and trade value did not change. Is something wrong with this months account summary sheet? Edit: I just noted that this time I also got no DB at all (instead of the expected 2DB). I could not care less about the 2DB, but this is not how it is supposed to work. Edited May 17, 2018 by Drunknok Quote
LM71Blackbird Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 @Phred Just out of curiosity, when does our MRCA earnings get added to our accounts? In April I made 1024 DBs, but haven't seen them yet. Thanks! Quote
Captain Genaro Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 @Drunknok I'll look into your problem later today. @LM71Blackbird Normally the earnings are added much sooner. I'll see about getting those added shortly. Quote

Agent Kallus Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) I'm not on the summary sheet at all , is that a mistake or is this done a month in arrears? Edited May 17, 2018 by Agent Kallus Quote
Captain Genaro Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 @Drunknok It looks like everything is correct. You are receiving 55 DBs from 4 free builds and 2 mini-challenge submissions. The increase to the settlement size occurs in the month subsequent to when the form was submitted, and these are appearing in the June sheet. 26 minutes ago, Agent Kallus said: I'm not on the summary sheet at all , is that a mistake or is this done a month in arrears?

Is this something that was recently implemented? Because I think my first build for the North Quarter - in terms of build submittal and settlement/trade growth identical to the others - did show up in the account summary sheet. The two other ones did not. I should also have recieved 4DB for those other two builds, which I did not. Again, this is not "about the money". I just wonder if the system actually works correctly. And what version of presenting my builds is easier for the system to handle? One thread per build, or "one thread to rule them all" with build submittals referring to individual posts? I prefer the second version, since it does not clutter the forum with lots of threads. But I also want the builds to be registered correctly... Quote

The two other ones did not. You are referring to freebuilds, right? If something is showing up now, it is most likely from April. This rule has been in place since the beginning of the game. As for the doubloons, I show that you have 10 DBs each for the first three freebuilds, 10 DBs each for the two mini-challenge submissions, and 5 DBs for your fourth freebuild, totaling 55 DBs. All your submissions for May are included. I'm not sure what other two builds you are referring to, but it is possible they need to be resubmitted. Check your submissions using this listing tool, and if something is missing, go ahead and re-submit it. 28 minutes ago, Drunknok said: And what version of presenting my builds is easier for the system to handle?

I have also submitted this build as well as this one. Both show up in my "freebuild list" for May, but seem to not have resulted in DBs. For now I will simply assume that anything related to settlement size and trade value will be accounted for in the June account summary sheet. I will bring it up again otherwise. All is well for now, thanks a lot. 11 minutes ago, Captain Genaro said: Check your submissions using this listing tool, and if something is missing, go ahead and re-submit it.

LM71Blackbird Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Just a quick reminder, I still haven't seen April's MRCA profits added to my account. Quote
Captain Genaro Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 I do apologize about the delay. Phred is a little busy with real life, and I don't have access to edit the April account summary. As soon as I get access, they will be added. Quote

Ayrlego Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 @Phred/ @Captain Genaro would it be possible to add a column to the settlement status sheet that shows the number of plantations in a settlement? It's not a huge deal or anything, it would mainly just to help work out what is licensed and what isn't for the settlement pages. Just seems strange it's the only property type not included on the sheet - I'm guessing it was something to do with the original 'hinterland' rules? Quote

Just seems strange it's the only property type not included on the sheet - I'm guessing it was something to do with the original 'hinterland' rules? I can look into it. The purpose of the parity is to show how many more builds of a certain type are needed to advance to the next level. Since plantations are not relevant to growing a settlement's status, they were not included. Quote

What got not updated though was the settlement size of Mesabi Landing - and now I wonder if the mistake is on my side or the system. Most of the time, people have one build with one topic, which was easy to automate calculations. You are correct. Once you have licensed a build in a topic, any new builds in that topic won't be counted towards trade value or settlement size as a build submittal. You still get your funds. However, the topic ID gets an expiration date from the first build being licensed and anything in the topic will no longer count towards the settlement size and trade value. Once you have licensed another build in the same topic, both builds have settlement size and trade value counted towards the settlement. Properties don't really have a good label like ships having names do. Plus, accounts license other's builds. Because build submittals count towards settlement size and trade value, using the topic ID was the best I could do ensuring build submittals that count towards settlement size don't get double counted.

LM71Blackbird Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 @Phred I recently joined as a new member of MAESTRO COR, so Maxim suggested I mention it to you so you can edit my status in the accounts. Thank you! Quote
Ayrlego Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Hi @Phred / @Captain Genaro, When you guys get a chance, would you please be able to upgrade this fort (from challenge 2) licensed at Port Raleigh under the old rules as a small fort to a medium fort in the name of the settlement? Thanks! Quote
LM71Blackbird Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Hi @Phred / @Captain Genaro, I've been appointed mayor of Quinnsville, so could you please replace @Tomsche with myself so I get the mayor's pay next month? Thank you! Quote
