Correctly updating library in a multi-map multi-tribe pvp environment #1174

Open gbusoni opened 3 years ago

gbusoni commented 3 years ago

Hi, after more than 1 year of using ASB, I have the problem that my library contains a lot of creatures that I no longer physically have (or appear to have at least). I think this is related to the following

  1. Dead creatures not being recognised as dead and left in
  2. Creatures stolen from me that I added before being stolen not being removed
  3. Creatures I stole not being added (at least not until I open the cryopods) The above issues might be also due to the fact that creature was added on a map and the died on another maps maybe, I don't know. Is there any way to deal with these issues?

Hi, do you ask for a way to clean up the library from these creatures you don't own ingame anymore? If you import creatures from the savegame directly, all creatures in the library that are not available in the save file can be marked as unavailable (there's a setting for that). If you import creatures manually or with the import export method, I don't see a way to automatically clean up the library. You could sort them by addedToLibrary and check the oldest ones as they are most probably miss ingame.

I'm importing directly from saves. Some creatures become unavailable, but some others are still there. As I said, maybe because they went first to another map? I am updating the library from all saves, but the creatures are still there. That's why I wrote here
