BELLA'S TASKS

by Hazed

As well as chatting about mobile speed, Bella and I discussed in great detail what needs doing to the Fed universe, and which tasks she should undertake next. We agreed the order of work and I wrote it out in large friendly letters on a big sheet of paper and tacked it up where she could see it clearly when she was working.

As expected, she then proceeded to ignore it and do exactly what she felt like!

This weekend she's been cleaning up some odds and ends. As well as changing the mobile speed increment, she's fixed a couple of bugs:

• When offering jobs to players the message POs got back called the hauler "him" even if they were a female or a neuter. A very male chauvinist assumption, and not at all typical for Fed, where gender things usually default to female! The message has now been changed so it's not gender-specific.
• Building a Blish city, to specify it as resource level, the command "BUILD CITY RESOURCE" was not working - you had to use the parameter "mining" instead. Now the game will accept either word.
