Never had one of those

Can you change build research to manual?

You've misunderstood matey. The popup is suggesting I build a research station somewhere, it's not to do with what I'm actually researching. I want to get build suggestions, I just don't want that particular one any more.

Well that seems like an eminently sensible idea.

todays minor patch

Distant Worlds 2 - Update v1.0.4.9
Hello everyone,

here's the changelog of the latest update:

FLEETS, SHIPS AND FIGHTERS
• Fixed bug that was sometimes blocking some fleet missions when Military Attack automation was manually controlled
• Prevent fleet ships from escorting their Core ships while they are still exiting construction/repair hangar
• 'Join ships to fleet' button now properly filters out any non-military selected ships when adding them to the fleet
• Fixed fighters sometimes using wrong weapons attack range (too low)
• Ensure fighters retain capture mission, assisting carriers to lower shields and capture target

CHARACTERS AND INTELLIGENCE MISSIONS
• Ensure character bonuses at location (colony, ship, fleet, base) only apply to characters from own empire (e.g. not foreign ambassadors)
• Altered intelligence mission difficulty thresholds so that spies more willing to attempt riskier missions. See updated tooltip for Mission Difficulty Caution in Intelligence Missions section of Empire Policy screen for new levels
• Ensure specified percentage of spies properly used for counter-intelligence (Counter Intelligence Ratio in Empire Policy)

SPACE CREATURES
• Ensure creatures do not get too far from horizontal plane (vertical offset)
• Ensure creatures do not go too close to stars, thus being difficult to attack

OTHER
• Research summary in header now shows when a project is being crash researched
• Extended research hover summary in header to also show queued research projects
• Fixed minor text display bugs in some game events
• Fixed Prime Research Station story event sending repeated messages when Suppress Messages turned on in game settings

The research screen really needs a search tool.

On a side note - I don’t think I have thick enough skin or tolerance to be a game dev

Wondered into the steam reviews - mainly:-

You’re game is shit - it won’t let me do XXX

Edit - oh wait I’ve found the button, yayyy you’re game is great

OR

Developer has abandoned game no updates in weeks what a con

There’s is an update literally 20 minutes ago you dick

Oh yeah, never mind, downloading now

The total black to white to black again of these assholes on steam make me want to punch them in the face

Not that I disagree with you, but in someways, the DW2 dev brought this on himself.  He's still a one man shop.  I find it hard to believe that he couldn't of hired a couple of people to assist with DW2

I know that app doesn’t address this issue but the sheer number of possibilities of what players have automated or not is immense for all the my game does this niggles

Encountering a bit of weirdness - not going to say bug as it’s something I may not understand fully

There are systems well within my ships range that construction ships won’t go to to build, with the ui saying they’re out of range but if I click on the ship and right click on the planet ‘build mining station’ is an option 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
