Terraforming Mars Discord & Beta Participation

[TwinSails_Crunch3d]

Greetings Terraformers!

As many of you know, we are hard at work continuing our development efforts on Terraforming Mars, resolving networking issues, and many more matters raised by the community. We recently pushed live a new beta version of the game for players to test.

If participating in the test patches for Terraforming Mars is of interest to you, or you wish to discuss the game with your fellow players, join us on Discord here: https://discord.gg/fvHU8AtBE

If you are interested simply in participating in this beta, you can find all the information required to join here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc7WCcPKp1j2D0r4xfKpD94BFrsAw0jM3z2NkHtqnMqy9SH4w/viewform

How did the erroneous TR bump due to the solar phase get through to the released version?

How did the erroneous TR bump due to the solar phase get through to the released version?

There are numerous other serious bugs, as usual.

The answer to your question of "How" is: They do not playtest the game before releasing new patches or updates or content.

They release a barely functional update / patch / DLC, and let the customers be their game-testers, then they take weeks, months, or years to respond to the numerous complaints. This has been happening for more than 5 years.

I am unclear on how to participate in the discussion.

Go to the server-rules channel and add an emoji/reaction thing to the MEE6 bot post. The bot will then give you permission to participate. They do this to make sure everyone looks at the rules.

I already wrote this to him, he is not interested in this approach. He wants the developers themselves to write to him. )))

strange situation

Hello! The Discord invite to use is the following: https://discord.gg/ptXJNKV9

I think the discord links expire after a certain amount of time. I've tried both links in this thread, and neither of them work. There should be a special way to set up the invite link so that it never expires.

To make a permanent invite link, right click your server, click invite people, click the little blue text that says "edit invite link", and you will be able to make a permanent invite link.

Speaking of, can anyone invite?

Devs say that this is a permanent link.

I and other people have already written to you in other topics.
I suggested you contact me on discord.
You ignored it.

oh, right. My fault, I bookmarked that page where you explained that last time and then I forgot to go back to it.

Saving this post to a text file.

Thanks !

Okay, I did that. Any approximate idea of the lag time before the Bot gives me permission to participate after I add an emoji reaction to the post?

generally right away.
there should be a beta test thread

if haven’t appeared, on the general channel you can indicate TwinSails_Thibaut and ask him why you are not among the beta testers...

has anyone created a wiki page listing all known quirks and bugs? First time playing the game, I discovered:
1. when placing a city tile, the game doesn't prompt you to do so (so you have no idea it's waiting)
2. Protected Valley gets stuck when it attempts to place a greenery tile on "an area reserved for oceans" when there are none available)

I'm not asking to extend this thread with a laundry list of issues - I would like to just add the above issues to a wiki page or community-driven issue tracker (if either exist!).

and for the record, I still like the game (mainly because I got it as part of a Humble Bundle so I don't feel like I'm out $34 (if I paid that for the game + 2 DLCs, yes, I'd be pretty upset if bugs weren't dealt with in a timely manner))

In what situation would there not be a spot available for Protected Valley? There is always 12 ocean spaces available for 9 oceans and 3 cards (including Protected Valley) placing on ocean spaces.
