Number of Repeats is Negative

Postby Brimstar » Thu Feb 12, 2009 5:31 am

I have a char in Seatown Lakeside who was collecting salt on a repeating project. I checked because I thought he should have finished only to discover he has -7 repeats left. Oops. This is an artifact of the recent issues, I imagine.

I checked the database and this doesn't show any salt digging projects in Seatown Lakeside.

Probably because he finished it seven times. Is it possible for something to be removed from the DB but still hang around in the game? Are you still getting resources from it? Can you manually cancel it when a repeat ends?

I checked the database for projects with less than 0 repeats and there were 7 of them in various places so I changed them all to have 0 repeats. That suggests that if there really was a project, it would certainly show up in the database. Unless it was already finished.
