FreeOrion

The motivation is ... to slow down snowballing and give a better experience to all players. Increasing costs of ships as more are produced is also intended to discourage players from producing lots of ships. There are or were major problems with effects evaluation slowing down turn processing and m...

For testing it would be a lot easier if persistent_config.xml contained a section to override rules in the savefile ...

A alternative might be to add an interface in moderator mode to allow changing of the rules in the current game.

Could you make a feature request on GitHub for this?

Config does not remember that I want to start in fullscreen.

Are you on Windows? If so, that's working as intended; the fullscreen flag is not storable and you can instead pass -f when running freeorion.exe or add it to the shortcut or start menu link.

I would like to get Goverment merged and make empire readiness refactoring. The Government branch is about to be merged, as far as I understand, so that I expect to happen anyway. I'd like to get the Government branch merged soon as well, and could just click twice to do that. But realistically it'...

Is bug #2690 related to 0.4.9?

It might affect AI movement depending how the orders are scripted, but I'm inclined to ignore it as it doesn't seem to noticeably impair the v0.4.9 AI.

I'm not sure what issue you're referring to...

A major problem for porting the FreeOrion client to a mobile platform is that the client-server communication uses the C++ library Boost serialization. If you can't compile and use C++ libraries on another platform, then you'd need to find or implement a compatible serialization library. Then you co...

Matter replication ... exists and they won’t let it hit market because it would destabilize the economy and lead to a post-scarcity society like Star Trek. Being possible and being economically viable on a scale large enough to disrupt economies are distinct situations. What could be worked on by s...

The more fundamental issue is whether there should be a distinction between a planet (or other object) being a source of fleet supply (eg. requiring a particular shipyard part or "supply depot" building to generate supplies), and a planet providing / extending the network of connections that transpo...

On another note I am also not sure what PropagatedSupplyDistance and PropagatedSupplyRange properties do. The max supply range of each system is calculated for each empire. The highest empire gets to supply that system. Then, in single-jump steps, the supply range is expanded to nearby systems, ded...

Does continuing support for v0.4.8 require substantial effort or time for you?

Do you mean we should specify the different options we could have, to be controlled by game rules?

Yes.

can autoturn advance be (FOCS-)scripted to an unmanned empire?

That would be an AI scripting issue, not a FOCS (content) script issue.

What happens to an empire's assets when conceding could / should be a game rule.

Maybe the logic underneath is that in some occasions your supply groups are actually connected directly (but you don't see your supply color in between because your ally's supply is stronger in some starlanes, although your supply does propagate)... That doesn't happen. Only one empire can supply e...
