We tested it with range weapons, but the fights were super exploitable and way too fast.
Do you have an idea for a different ending so we don't have the shrinking ring?We need to end the match at one point if the drones are not destroying each other.

Ok Thanks for reporting, I'll look into it

Keep in mind that this preview build is still a work in progress, therefore I strongly recommend to back up your savefiles before downloading the preview branch. Here is where you can find the savefiles and logfiles: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/651-please-read-this-before-posting/
Here is how you can get the preview build on steam:
– Open your Steam library
– Right click on Nimbatus in the Steam library
– Select Properties / Beta
– Select the Beta tab
– Enter imadeabackup as password to unlock the preview branch
– Select brawl_preview from the drop down
– Restart steam in case the game does not update automatically or you can't see the preview branch-

If it happens again, I need the logfile to see what the actual error was so we can fix it.
My best guess is that the game ran out of memory (RAM). This happens if your tribe has a lot of animals and you play on high settings. To reduce the amount of memory used you can change the animal pattern resolution to a lower setting.

Unfortunately the savefile is corrupted and I can't open it either :((
@sorathegoddessoflight Do you know what happened before the save broke? Did the game crash or did you shut down the computer while Niche was running?

Hey @jon
Please have a look at this thread and try the solutions posted there:
Especially the one where you edit the settigs.ini file to start the game in windowed mode. Hopefully this helps!
Also make sure your graphic card drivers are updated as we updated the engine for the newest version of Niche.
Cheers,
Micha-

Yep this savefile is definitely corrupt. It only contains 1 empty drone and nothing else
So something went wrong while saving it. It could either be an overly agressive Antivirus software that deleted nimbatus while it was running and this corrupted the saves and made it look like the game is uninstalled. The saves are stored separately so they did not get deleted.
Or steam did something wrong when syncing the savefiles to the cloud.Did the game crash the last time you played it before it was uninstalled?
I'll fix the game so that it will detect corrupt saves and show an error message instead of loading into a buggy state.-

We did make some changes related to this. Projectiles now check wether they are being spawned inside the terrain and destroy itself automatically.
The same logic is also applied when spawning drone parts inside the terrain using the factory part.This should reduce the occurrence of this bug.

The laser beam exception is nothing critical. It's a bug in the weapon preview tooltip when you hover over a weapon.
But I'll try to reproduce it with a drone that has lasers.Other than that nothing really out of the ordinary in the logfile.
No worries, I'll try to reproduce it myself. Thanks alot for the testing!

You just have to fly over the big container with your full tanks.
The resources should then start to drain from the tanks and the counter should go up.

Hmm Interesting.Thanks alot for the detailed report!
I did not manage yet to reproduce the bug.Would be great if you can upload the logfile right after you visit the ore planet when it's bugged.
The logfile is stored here: C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\Nimbatus\Nimbatus\output_log.txt-

I found the the problem. My campaign save file is corrupt. When I try to go to my campaign save it has 0 seconds and it shows the missing texture and stuff.
Would be great if you can get me the save, so I can see what's the issue.
the saves are located here: C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\Nimbatus\Nimbatus\Saves

Super weird 🤔 Next time this happens please get the logfile, maybe we can see some of the errors there.
Also Nimbatus should not uninstall itself

Dear Drone Engineers,
We just released the 0.7.4 patch for the new Campaign Update to fix some bugs.Fixes
- Researcher doesn’t get fuel tanks as rewards in asteroid fields and travel events anymore

According to VirusTotal, Nimbatus should not be wrongly detected as Trojan anymore

Try updating kaspersky. It somehow often wrongly detects unity games as trojans
