This was the first time I ever got this order.  Can someone explain what this is linked to that it took me 257 turns to get it?  Shouldn't there be some wording defining exactly what we'll get?  

Either this or a second (min) value to the sliders we already got. I hope devs will not just remove the change again because some/many (?) people do not like icons at a "closer" view. Icons still appear farther away than in GC3 btw.

Bugs
- Civilization Output does not include trade income
- Diplomat, tooltip of assigned civ: Diplomatic effect is enabled but „Recent assignment..." is still shown
- Free Trade / Police State. I put this under bugs because I do not think it works as intended. The policy Free Trade does increase trade income a lot but it cripples GDP. Why is this so? It increases crime by 5%. But this is not a multiplier to core worlds like approval. It is additive to all planets including colonies. So a core world with four colonies gets 25% percent crime! A solution would be to only increase crime of core worlds, maybe only those who have an active trade route. Police State works the other way around. It reduces crime of all planets by 10%. So a core world with four colonies loses up to 50% crime

Feedback
- I got 12 trade routes and invested a lot to increase approval at my core worlds. I run my empire with 90% taxes w/o any malus to production or science. It is inconvient/confusing that Civilization Overview shows an overall approval of 23%. Citizens at my colonies are very unhappy. This should have no negative effects though hence elections have been removed. I think approval of colonies should be reworked - now that we do not have any elections
- It seems like there is almost no promethion / purple star in the galaxy. One purple star is 3 sectors (!) away from my starting sector. You could put some prometheon/durantium/thulium to a star of a different color if there is no purple/red/blue star in a (small/medium starting) sector

When a Minor Race gives a quest to kill seven (7) pirates of one type (standard, guardian, or monsters), the number of pirates killed will increase on any of the three types, despite the actual quest given.  

For example, I recently got a quest to kill 7 guardian ships.  I hadn't discovered any yet, but killed some monsters and pirates on my way to them.  The counter for "guardians killed" increased every time I killed a monster/pirate.  Once I killed 7, the quest disappeared from the list on the left, but was not resolved.  

Once I found the guardians and killed just one of them, the quest resolved and I got the reward.  Note, I only killed one guardian, the rest were monsters/pirates.

Similar bugs happen when quested to kill monsters or standard pirates - any of the three will do until the final kill.

This has been going on for a few versions, I just thought to report it here on .77A

Was this planet a dead world seeded by the Baratak Grove? There is a bug where the resources show as 0,0,0,0,0 until it is colonized.

Given how many power hungry politicians we have you would thing that governors would get plus loyalty any time they get ministership or govenorship.

I'm not sure I understand the automatic nerf to loyalty when a leader becomes a governor but since having loyal governors is important for happiness anyway, I'm not sure what difference it makes. My real issue is the 10% penalty for firing a governor, even if it is a lateral move. You're really at the mercy of getting good governor choices early in the game. If they're going to go ahead and have citizen personalities be a thing, they might as well lean into it. Let the city get bonuses if there is an ideological match. Heck, the citizens might be happier if you remove a governor that they didn't like. That said, this is probably not that high a priority compared to things that are legitimately still broken or unfinished.

Is there a problem with Nanobots and Drones?  I'm on turn 323 and haven't been able to produce (on Shipyards) or trade for either one.

Thanks to Nicholai777 pointing this out in his post: https://forums.galciv4.com/510137/colonization-issues

  I hadn't really questioned it until he did.

def had a more involved game this patch... AI was much better at trading and having the "evil" races be more aggressive. I really liked the tech tree and adding an additional slot to those ships, def made shipbuilding, esp early on, more fun.

started out as the baratak grove with 7 other civs, few sectors, med starting sector, had 1 other civ start in my sector (krynn). Genius difficulty.

at around turn 50 the festron declared war on me after they crossed the only subspace stream in my sector and colonized a class 1 planet next to my communications starbase, just outside of its influence range. i thought that the declaration of war was a good AI move, since the festron, while rated in the mid out of the 5 civs i had come in contact with, had the largest military, much larger than mine, so they should prob be using it (prob a bad move to actually colonize that planet though, it had a 97% decay for them). i actually thought i might be dead at first, since their military numbers were so much higher, but after quickly filling up a couple command ships and researching and producing only military stuff for a few turns, i was able to build up big enough fleets to start to combat them. I should point out though that i only had the time to do this because after the festron declared war their fleets just kinda circled my territory for a few turns, giving me the time i needed to build up ships and form fleets. If they had targeted my ships with their stronger fleets right after declaring war, while using tiny ships to take my smaller worlds at the same time, i prob would not have survived with my current lack of military. as it was i had been putting everything into manufacturing and esp research so i was able to get strong ships up and running pretty quick though. And about 5 or so turns after the war declaration came in, they start moving in their fleets, but also the drengin declared war on the festron right then, causing the festron to move some forces off which allowed me to be able to hold them off. they did take a couple small planets from me at first but i was able to quickly take them back, take the other small 2 that they had in the sector, and drive them out as the drengin was destroying the rest of their military and taking their worlds. I thought that this was great decisions by both of those civs AI though, to declare war when they did. it made sense and made for a very fun early game

currently at about turn 80 now, and i'm really pulling away from the pack. military right around the others at the top, but my manufacturing is 2x higher than anyone else, including the drengin who got a lot of the festron's planets, and the big thing though is my research is 6x higher than anyone else (without bob). it's at around 150 while everyone else is around 25 or less, so i know it's pretty much won at this point. 

I think i was able to do so much better than the other races because of my race's ability to make dead worlds live. the bonuses those class 5 planets give me are so much higher than the class 1 and 2s that it gives me a really big advantage if I time everything right with regular colonization of the best nearby worlds. the AI never colonizes a world in my territory so i know i can let those sit there for a bit and not have to worry about getting them till i'm rdy. and with the ability to bring so many dead worlds to life around my homeworld and other core planets, I do feel that it's a little overpowered right now.

and just wanted to mention again how much i liked the tech tree and that extra ship slot. both made shipbuilding more fun for me overall great job on everything, looking forward to b 

Have had this happen but it is a zero-turn tech. I think but can't be sure that just leaving and returning to the page removes it.

- Very nice! Open boarders end -> Torians send a message
- Auto colonize: ships are sent into control zones of rivals
