Ah, but the first one was fixed in the quickbar. An entirely different bug!

Just to be clear: that evolution pollution thing is only about spawners actively absorbing pollution, right?

AFAIK, Spawners absorbing pollution only causes them to spawn / send attacks. It has no effect on the evolution level. The evolution level is determined by total pollution produced, regardless of where it goes.

So I *think* the bug was referring to pollution production having a higher effect on the evolution level than intended, and has nothing to do with spawners.

Correct. Evolution is determined by three factors, as seen on the wiki.
Wiki wrote:The evolution factor is increased by three kinds of events:

The passage of time very slightly increases the evolution factor.
The global pollution production increases the evolution factor.
Destroying nests significantly increases the evolution factor.

THIS is why Evolution went from 75 to 85% in about 1h30 of gameplay >_>,

thanks for the fix

Again, an entirely different bug. The second listing has a period, the first one doesn't ;)

In the revised tutorial, I'm being attacked by a constant stream of biters from the west before I've researched turrets. The new pollution display shows 0 pollution being absorbed by spawners.

They are not coming from the initial starter base, but from further west, well outside my pollution cloud. Some new scripted spawn mechanic? Anyway, my iron ore miners are under constant attack, which makes it somewhat difficult to do anything else in the factory. Anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see it is already filed as a bug and fixed for the next version.

Every time I read your "NPE" I think of Java's NullPointerException...

"Modified NullPointerException quest structure" -- huh? they come with quests now?

I know it's late in the week for the devs, but instead of pushing a full release, maybe we can get just the fixed scenario so that those wishing to test replay the scenario (as requested by the FFF) over the weekend aren't meeting the same unfortunate demise.

The other mention of it was merely stating that they corrected the spelling of quickbar.

Now that the migration for pollution-based evolution is fixed, does that apply to existing saves that were already played on the buggy version as well? And does it mean that the evolution factor went back down to what it should have been, or just that it will only increase at the normal speed going forward?

From some "testing" it seem they normalized the evolution to the falue it should have but all that was added dueto the bug stays.
A new challenge :)

Here I was taking my ability to reach 26% evolution in under an hour, with 80% of that coming from pollution, as evidence of how good I was at quickly building a base nowadays. Had some truly huge hordes of small biters with large ones mixed in that killed me before I had walls researched (Deathworld Marathon).
