Not sure what caused this, but at turn 6, Earth is no longer a core world and has no governor...

I was able to assign one of my ministers as governor, and the improvements and queue is just as it was.

All but one of my citizens formerly on Earth have gone missing. The top right is showing 1/0 citizens, with the Next Citizen ready in 13 turns.

Maybe this is a BOF? It seems logical, and fun, to me that scoring a colony ship from a defeated shipyard would not include population. That would yield at least three choices: use as a pop mover, collect a new founding prop 'ahead of schedule,' or station somewhere awaiting pop growth before boarding colony founders.

Functioning like that would also duck any vexing results of adding yet another species join your faction.

It's hard to tell with a static picture, however, the icons on the top of the screen starting w/ assension crystals keep glitching out, as if the game is trying to add a different icon and move everything over one, then decides not to.  Okay this is the best image, note assension crystals aren't even there.

I noticed the same thing... though I only noticed it when executing a turn. Are you saying this is happening in your game at random times/all the time?

I noticed this last night also. I think it only started happening after I claimed an ascension crystal, and then the number of ascension points kept flickering back and forth between the number I had and the number I'd have next turn (for example I had 17, and the icon would flip between 17 and 18).

There's a text overlap in the trade window, plus for readability it would help if there were a space between the number and "Credits".

Which ship is being built at a shipyard is inconsistent between the shipyard tooltip and the shipyards list in the upper right.

The trading window is wonky for me.

1. I offer an open borders treaty and click on the credits, using the arrow keys to select an amount just higher than what the alien will accept (70, for example), and click "offer".

2. The alien says he won't go for it, so I click on the amount in his side of the ledger so I have the opportunity to change it. The box with the amount comes up, I backspace over it to erase the amount, change it (to 65, for example), and click enter.

3. The amount I have on his side disappears instead of changing to my new offer.

4. I then have to start over.

Crash to Desktop - (Files were validated today and when 711 was launched.)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5cx0gamojx6cnz5/Test08-Luminous%20IV%20Constructor%20Launch%20CTD.GC4Sav?dl=0

To reproduce, tested multiple times.  Load game, go to Luminous IV, click on shipyard, attempt to launch Hermit Crab, There are citizens but only 1 on each, planet, scroll through the list, CTD.  Others may be able to test.  (Note canceling the launch does not CTD, only scrolling through the list.  This appears to happen when there is only 1 citizen on multiple planets.)  Based on testing w/ @tid242 appears need to use the scroll in game, not the mouse wheel to get it to crash.

(Copied from general feedback thread. New items in Green.)

(Typing these as I play. Will add comments as I go.)

Main page UI:

I really like the Notification icons upper left, being able to click on them and go directly to the relevant UI. Great improvement from GC3. Suggestion: In keeping with the idea, please move the research icon there instead of the lower right (like it was in GC3). That way, all the “to-do” tasks are in one place.

Possible to add “hot click” to money, control, and food icons upper left? Meaning, if I click on the money icon, it takes me to the Economy UI.

Add civilization morale after food icon in same bar? That way I can see how that changes when adjusting the tax rate.

Possible to add turn number to date upper right corner? Yes, I see the turn number pop up when I hover over the date, but I like to see turn number at a glance.

Leaders UI: Ministers:

Color scheme: Exploration is red but Diligence is purple. Tech is blue, which matches intelligence. Colonization is green, which matches Social. Suggestion, match color of Minister primary trait to trait color.

Disregard my previous comment about UI feedback for ministers: Saw the bonus at the bottom of the leader card this time.

With a leader in the Unassigned Leaders box, it wasn’t immediately obvious to me (I’m dense, I know) that I had to drag a leader from the Minister row to the box to unassign. I tried several times just dragging to the bottom of the screen, which doesn’t work.

Overall, I’m liking the leader card concept more and more.

Planet UI:

Bug: In Turn 8, double-clicked on Earth and the Left Panel was off the screen (only edge visible) to the left. This was not the case in earlier turns. Same after closing the screen and hitting Manage button on lower left on main UI. Cannot select a new project from panel, but could select an upgrade on Elerium by clicking on it. Turn 10: problem persists. Saved, quit game, loaded save, problem gone.

Just noticed the Orders in the left panel. Really like this feature.

Having a difficult time managing approval early game. "This planet is too crowded" is -20% and "We are at our population capacity" is -10%. Suggest removing the latter one. Okay, next turn I loaded a citizen on a colony ship and "crowded" dropped to -15% but I still have -10% for "max capacity."

By turn 83, my approval is largely under control. I understand the mechanics better, but my above suggestion stands.

I don't understand why "Opinion of you" is -20 because "I have to manage things." What does this mean?

Ship AI:

I notice this uses the same pathing AI as GC3. Is this only visual without impact on the game? I would prefer a “straight” path to destination, if possible.

Bug?: I upgraded the sensors +2 on T.A.S. Discovery. Next turn, the +2 was gone.

Dumb question: How do you eject just one ship from a fleet? Planet has "Eject all" option. One right or left mouse click does nothing. Two left clicks bring up the fleet screen. Two right clicks does nothing. Don't see an option when I select a ship to eject that ship.

Mining:

Nice that a single Asteroid Miner mines an entire group of asteroids instead of just one hex.

Game Mechanics:

Having a real hard time managing food and population early game. Food goes negative very fast. Just got Planetology tech so building my first agricultural improvement. Only 1 planet outside my starting star system discovered so far that has some food resources.

On Turn 47: Noticed my citizens are starving. Food says "0", which I thought meant balanced. I have 17 citizens and 17 food. Is this being caused by decay from colony worlds? If so, the total food icon/stats needs to be adjusted to show this. Looking at this further, one of my colony worlds has a 3 Fertility but Earth is only receiving 2.45. Not sure if this is where the issue is coming from.

Bug?: I have a starbase with a Xeno Archeology Lab covering an approval relic. The approval relic says "Morale - Colony 5%". I do not see a +5% in the colony or for the citizens.

Took me a bit (did I mention I'm dense?) but finally figured out the relationship between planet terrain and what districts I can build there.

I'm getting a feel for the sector mechanic as I explore. Question: Will the number of races at game setup be across the entire galaxy, or only in one sector? Will we be able to choose # of races per sector? For my current game, I chose huge map and 8 AI players. Have met 2 of them by turn 33.

I researched the tech that allows me to build freighters, but I can't establish trade routes. Under Trade, the research to get trade routes is "%s". Are trade routes not in the game yet? If so, the tech that allows freighters to be built should provide at least 2 trade licenses.

I really like the choices from surveying anomalies.

You need to convert one or more of your citizens to traders to get trade licenses.

Wanted to share the link to my thread of bugs I've found. I hadn't noticed this thread when I made my post.
Also, I'm not 100 % sure of the version number for the first round of bugs I found, they were from the very first handful of hours the alpha was available, and I remember noticing an update when I came back to play the next day. But I doubt the issues I noticed have been fixed, considering how little time it has been.

Quick summary:
Chimeric Biomass being inconsistent with number of tiles added.
Notification issues (jerks the map around).
Disappearing treasure hunting ship. 
Sidebar displaying wrong info for shipyard.
Drone bay module from anomaly not being available upon level up.
Starbase saying it could build Xeno Acheology lab, despite there being no target (inherited from other starbases screen?).
Got a ship called the Ysenguard, has multiple bugs, it can't survey and it's not earning Prototype XP. Also the Prototype component's tooltip has visual errors, on the detailed ship screen. 
Inconsistent values for my civilization's wealth.

I plan to be back with more notes once this last Humankind beta is over.   
Apologies for a lack of save files at the moment, I'll see if I can add them later.

Not that we've figured out as of yet.  Because it's alpha most likely the majority of these haven't been added, but just a few put in place to confirm process is working.  The whole culture point system is being reworked.
