All online knowledges disappear upon reinstalling the network server to another spot #146

panyutsriwirote commented 3 years ago

Reinstalling the network server causes all online knowledges to disappear, forcing the player to re-document every knowledge previously kept on it

Confirmed to be reproducible on my computer with only Human Resources and its dependencies loaded (I use ResearchPal - Forked)

Start a game, use dev mode to give myself a terminal and a server, document whatever knowledge my characters start with, the server becomes non-empty, relocate it and BOOM, the server is empty

Not sure if this is a bug or an intended feature, but I don’t think data should just disappear whenever I unplug and relocate the server somewhere else

From reading the code it seems as this is the expected thing, as when the server is moved it checks for a backup (idk how to backup, will read more into the code)

Edit: It appears that when you move it the game no longer considers it as an item on the map causing it to instantly purge all the techs

Thanks for reporting this, PanyutSriwirote. Tophd7 is right, that was expected, because the game deals with the server de-spawning the same way if it is destroyed or just uninstalled. Buuuut... that doesn't mean we can't work our way around it! ;-) So I made the server retain its memory when uninstalled. The techs will still be removed when it is offline, but they will be restored when it is re-installed. New update is online now.
