A couple issues with the honourifics

[blueskirt]

I've noticed a couple of issues involving the honourifics.

Both Lightyear and Lightsecond honourifics are automaticly awarded if you happen to have an old savegame where you completed the entire game. When the game cannot tell how long it took you to complete a level, it sets your time to 00:00:00:00, instead of 99:99:99:99, so now the game think I finished all missions in 0 seconds.

The same problem happens with Safety and Pacifism. When the game can't tell how many tree died or how many tree you killed when you import an old savegame, the game set the number to 0 instead of 1, so once again, I got both honourifics the moment I launched the game after patching it.

Megalopolis and Megatraveler seems to be awarded only the next time you launch the game after achieving them.

Regarding Gardener, it's unclear if you must have 10 planted flowers or 10 orbiting flowers on the same asteroid. In the Fertility skirmish level, I had easily 30 flowers around the same asteroid and I didn't get the honourific.

even if you beat a new level that you hadn't before the patch it still doesn't record the time

for gardener, they must be orbiting, not planted.  I made the mistake of planting 2 of them, and it wouldn't register it.

Hehe, Steam tells you the requirements for the honourifics *hint hint*

blueskirt:  Sorry, have I missed something?  You refer to the "Fertility" skirmish level but I don't seem to have that!   I wonder what else I am missing?  I have all 8 skirmish levels and a number of custom levels, but can't find Fertility?


Regards and best wishes

Sorry about these blueskirt42 - not really sure what to do now that you've been awarded them. Seems a bit late to update this for 2.05 now, maybe I'll just roll it out in the next update in a week or so.

Regarding the Megalopolis and Megatraveler ones, that shouldn't be the case... I'll check it.

With Gardener, it should be 10+ flowers in orbit. I'll check these now.

Terrial:
You can see the requirements in the Honourifics menu

My mistake, Neil, I meant the Abundance skirmish, the one where asteroids are super fertile and seedlings/flowers grows incredibly fast.

I had easily more than 30 flowers on the same asteroid, first an asteroid where I planted no flowers on, then another where where I planted 5 flowers on, and I never got Gardener. It's also on this map that I got Megalopolis and Megatraveler but got the awards the next time I launched the game.

The Honourific for Megaopolis in the menu list says: the conditions for this are a secret, or something to that effect.

2 more honourifics the game refuses to award me, additionally to Gardener:

Banzai: In the last fan mission I played, I sent 5 or 6 lone mines on asteroids with 300+ enemy seedlings, whenever they exploded the number of enemy seedlings dropped by 20 to 30 but I never got anything.

Hero: I replayed Badlands, Hide And Seek and Liberator several times each, and I'm fairly sure I liberated more than 700 lost seedlings in the process, but no luck.

At this point I think I'll reinstall the game from scratch and won't import my old savegame, I'm sure it mess with something.

- Edit -
Yep, just got Banzai on my first try after I re-installed the game without importing my old savegame.

- Second edit -
And I got Gardener too. Now the only one that gives me trouble is Hero. Does finding lost seedling in Dark Matter mode count toward the total number of seedlings found?

For Gardener and Minefield, the flowers/mines have to be on one of your own asteroids.

For Hero, it only counts the main mode seedlings. There are some levels where you have to be pretty quick as your friendly seedlings get taken out by the enemy before you find them.
