We hope everyone who attended our Fools Defense event held on our PTS on April 1st had fun.
We especially did, and thanks to our fellow Noveans, we had a ‘blast’!
 

 
As some of you might remember in our previous announcement for the Fool’s Defense event, there were some prizes to be had. We are pleased to announce that the winners have been chosen and the Wheel of Foolish Fortune is ready to start spinning! Which prizes will our foolish actions provide those that dare take a spin? Find out on the PTS on Saturday April 9th, 14:00 UTC for all the wheel spinning action.
 
After combing through our logs with a fine tooth comb, we have chosen six participants whose bravery, dedication and foolishness left the server room sizzling. We are now inviting them to prove their luck and talent once again by taking the Wheel for a spin!
 
Walter - For landing the final blow causing the destruction of the defenders station, many developers were harmed in the process. (Yes, we checked the logs thoroughly.) Copperlein - For being so good to us on the PTS, yet destroying Nautilus A’s Core, and breaking our heart. Dronko - For destroying Nautilus B’s Core, and again breaking our heart. (Et tu, Brute?) Wolfram  - For being devs’ best friend by reporting bugs on our forum. Mastuga - For being such a Trooper with the amount of ammo (pew, pew, pew) they used during the event.  Honvik - For forcing so many players to return to the resurrection pod. Skyreaper - For coming back to life so many times we thought they were a cat!   
Winners please present yourself on the PTS on Saturday, April 9th at 14:00 UTC for your chance to spin the Wheel! If you are unable to attend, a Novaquark representative will spin the Wheel in your place. Prizes will be given out shortly after the spinning of the Wheel has concluded. 
 
Please note: All players will need to go through the new FTUE on the PTS in order to participate in this event, please allow yourself enough time to go through it. 
 
Players who wish to join in the fun on the PTS are welcome, teleport over to PVP Platform 2 (::pos{0,0,2729026.2814,-98851321.2156,-1455512.2758}) where you can witness first hand the spoils of war!

The Event Library Example
 
Below you will find example Lua code for a Lua Screen Units renderscript which demonstrates some of the use cases of the events library. 
(Yes, I realise this is a stunning example screenshot. ?)

Hello HomerGAdams!

There are actually 3 steps to the process of retrieving and processing the container information

The container content is not loaded by default, first you will need to request the content through:
container.acquireStorage() This is limited to 10 calls every 5 minutes, if you go over that it will trigger a cooldown.
 
This call is not immediate and takes a (short) time to arrive.
Once that data arrives and is available to use an event is triggered on the container slot called 
storageAcquired() You can simply set a filter on the container unit and it will be triggered everytime container.acquireStorage() has successfully returned results.
 
Inside storageAcquired() you will now likely want to use
jsonString = container.getItemsList() or alternatively deconstruct the JSON data directly:
itemList = json.decode(container.getItemsList())  
The item list will then be a numbered table containing the item slots in the container, and each entry will have the follow fields available to it:
name, quantity, unitVolume, unitMass, type, class
 
If you want a practical example to look at you can copy the following and use "Paste Lua Configuration from Clipboard" onto a programming board.
{"slots":{"0":{"name":"container","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"1":{"name":"screen","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"2":{"name":"slot3","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"3":{"name":"slot4","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"4":{"name":"slot5","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"5":{"name":"slot6","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"6":{"name":"slot7","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"7":{"name":"slot8","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"8":{"name":"slot9","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"9":{"name":"slot10","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"-1":{"name":"unit","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"-2":{"name":"system","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}},"-3":{"name":"library","type":{"events":[],"methods":[]}}},"handlers":[{"code":"-- Event was fired so we now have the container content.\nitems = json.decode(container.getItemsList())\n\n-- Lets make an HTML table to display all the data.\nlocal html = [[\n<div class=\"bootstrap\" width=\"1vw\" height=\"1vh\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>name</th>\n\t\t\t<th>quantity</th>\n\t\t\t<th>unitVolume</th>\n\t\t\t<th>unitMass</th>\n\t\t\t<th>type</th>\n\t\t\t<th>class</th>\n\t\t</tr>\n]] \n\n-- iterate over the container data and add the items to the table\nfor entry,itemData in ipairs(items) do\n html = html..[[\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>]]..itemData[\"name\"]..[[</td>\n\t\t\t<td>]]..itemData[\"quantity\"]..[[</td>\n\t\t\t<td>]]..itemData[\"unitVolume\"]..[[</td>\n\t\t\t<td>]]..itemData[\"unitMass\"]..[[</td>\n\t\t\t<td>]]..itemData[\"type\"]..[[</td>\n\t\t\t<td>]]..itemData[\"class\"]..[[</td>\n\t\t</tr>\n ]]\nend\n\n-- End the table\nhtml = html..[[\n\t</table>\n</div>\n]]\n\n-- Write to the screen\nscreen.setHTML(html)","filter":{"args":[],"signature":"storageAcquired()","slotKey":"0"},"key":"0"},{"code":"-- When the board starts up let the player know the data is being retrieved (This could be quick or slow)\nscreen.setHTML([[<div class=\"bootstrap\" style=\"font-size:5vw; \">Retrieving container data</div>]])\n\n-- Lets prepare an empty table for the data to go into\n-- This prevents other functions from receiving null until the data is retrieved.\nitems = {} \n\n-- Start a request for the container data \n-- this will trigger an event in the container slot when completed\n-- We can only do this 10 times per 5 minutes, or a cooldown will be triggered.\ncontainer.acquireStorage()","filter":{"args":[],"signature":"start()","slotKey":"-1"},"key":"1"}],"methods":[],"events":[]}

Hello Noveans,
 
We have released the Panacea update today, DU is now in version 0.28.0. The changes can be found below:
 
New Features
Vertex Precision Tool This is a new tool that will enhance the precise manipulation of the shapes of voxels by allowing a player to move the individual vertices. Home  sets the cursor to the currently-selected vertices position. End  resets the cursor to the last applied position. Alt + Home  sets the cursor to the centered 0, 0, 0 coordinates. X  toggles the grid display. Ctrl + Scroll  adjusts the grid size. The Arrow keys and Page Up/Down are used to move the cursor. The grid is not displayed for the smallest two grid sizes. Space wrecks Players will now be able to find randomly-spawned shipwrecks in space throughout Helios. There are five tiers of rarity, with lower-tier wrecks with low-value contents spawning at a higher frequency. The highest-tier wrecks will be harder to find; those who discover and harvest them will be rewarded with high-value materials and elements. Inactive Asset Requisitioning (IAR) This new system offers salvaging opportunities for active players. Inactive Assets When the subscription for an account is canceled and becomes inactive, a 90-day countdown timer begins on all the constructs owned by that account. Once those 90 days have passed, the construct is then abandoned. This also applies to constructs belonging to organizations, based on when the account of the last remaining legate becomes inactive after unsubscribing. These abandoned constructs can be claimed by any player or organization, just like any other abandoned construct. Constructs that have been abandoned for more than 30 days will be removed automatically. On Aphelia Territories Regardless of account activity, constructs parked on Aphelia territories will become subject to abandonment if not piloted for seven days. Constructs on Aphelia territories will be automatically removed if left in an abandoned state for longer than 48 hours. On Sanctuary Your constructs are safe on your territory. Aphelia territory rules still apply on Sanctuary Aphelia territories. Changes to organization construct ownership (construct slots) A new organization construct system has been introduced. The limit of constructs that can be owned  by an organization is now based on the lowest of two parameters: The organization’s legate with the highest level in the Organization Construct Management talents. The organization's slot count, which is assigned to the organization by players from a player’s available pool. Each player now has 10 base construct slots they can assign to any organization of their choosing. Added a new Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by three per level. Added a new Advanced Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by five per level. Added a new Improved Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by 10 per level. Base personal construct slot count increased from two to 10. Bonus from Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from two to three constructs per level. Bonus from Advanced Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from one to five constructs per level. Introduced new Improved Core Unit Upgrades talent for 10 constructs per level. Legate Organization Construct Management talents no longer grant direct construct capacity to the organization but provide a maximum limit on construct count in the organization. Talent points previously invested in these talents have received a one-time reset and are free to be spent once more. Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 25 per level. Organization Construct Management Specialization talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 75 per level. Advanced Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 225 per level. New UI for organizations allowing for insight into their construct slot availability and usage count as well as visibility on abandoned construct and slot allocation given by individual players to the organization. In a future update, organizations with constructs in excess of their capacity will receive an in-game warning during a bi-weekly construct check. If the organization doesn’t rectify the construct slot excess, random constructs belonging to that organization will be marked as  abandoned from the organization until the available slots and constructs are reconciled. Introduced new JSON export to clipboard buttons in the Organization Construct UI. RDMS UI polish The RDMS UI has undergone a pass for improvements and polish to bring them more inline with other interfaces. Dropdown elements are now removed from the dropdown when added to the list of selected elements.  Talent UI polish The Talent UI has undergone a pass for improvements and polish to bring them more inline with other interfaces. Added Talent search field. Added the option to hide completed talents. Collapse All and Expand All buttons added. Clear Queue button added. Camera Lua API Added Lua Camera API, under System: [event] system.cameraChanged([int] mode): Emitted when the player changes the camera mode. [number] system.getCameraHorizontalFov(): Return the current value of the player's horizontal field of view. [number] system.getCameraVerticalFov(): Return the current value of the player's vertical field of view. [int] system.getCameraMode(): Returns the active camera mode. [bool] system.isFirstPerson(): Checks if the active camera is in first person view. [vec3] system.getCameraPos(): Returns the position of the camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldPos(): Returns the position of the camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldForward(): Returns the forward direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldRight(): Returns the right direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldUp(): Returns the up direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraForward(): Returns the forward direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraRight(): Returns the right direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraUp(): Returns the up direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. Added Lua Camera API, under Unit: [bool] unit.isMasterPlayerSeated(): Checks if the player currently running the control unit is seated. [int] getMasterPlayerSeatId(): Returns the UID of the seat on which the player currently running the control unit is sitting. Deprecated system.getFov() function to be renamed by getCameraHorizontalFov().  
Balancing
Abandoned construct core units can now only be replaced with new core units and can no longer be repaired with scrap. Base personal construct availability has been increased to 10. New organization construct slot has been added at a base level of 10.  
Talents

Hello Noveans,
 
We have released the Panacea update today, DU is now in version 0.28.0. The changes can be found below:
 
New Features
Vertex Precision Tool This is a new tool that will enhance the precise manipulation of the shapes of voxels by allowing a player to move the individual vertices. Home  sets the cursor to the currently-selected vertices position. End  resets the cursor to the last applied position. Alt + Home  sets the cursor to the centered 0, 0, 0 coordinates. X  toggles the grid display. Ctrl + Scroll  adjusts the grid size. The Arrow keys and Page Up/Down are used to move the cursor. The grid is not displayed for the smallest two grid sizes. Space wrecks Players will now be able to find randomly-spawned shipwrecks in space throughout Helios. There are five tiers of rarity, with lower-tier wrecks with low-value contents spawning at a higher frequency. The highest-tier wrecks will be harder to find; those who discover and harvest them will be rewarded with high-value materials and elements. Inactive Asset Requisitioning (IAR) This new system offers salvaging opportunities for active players. Inactive Assets When the subscription for an account is canceled and becomes inactive, a 90-day countdown timer begins on all the constructs owned by that account. Once those 90 days have passed, the construct is then abandoned. This also applies to constructs belonging to organizations, based on when the account of the last remaining legate becomes inactive after unsubscribing. These abandoned constructs can be claimed by any player or organization, just like any other abandoned construct. Constructs that have been abandoned for more than 30 days will be removed automatically. On Aphelia Territories Regardless of account activity, constructs parked on Aphelia territories will become subject to abandonment if not piloted for seven days. Constructs on Aphelia territories will be automatically removed if left in an abandoned state for longer than 48 hours. On Sanctuary Your constructs are safe on your territory. Aphelia territory rules still apply on Sanctuary Aphelia territories. Changes to organization construct ownership (construct slots) A new organization construct system has been introduced. The limit of constructs that can be owned  by an organization is now based on the lowest of two parameters: The organization’s legate with the highest level in the Organization Construct Management talents. The organization's slot count, which is assigned to the organization by players from a player’s available pool. Each player now has 10 base construct slots they can assign to any organization of their choosing. Added a new Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by three per level. Added a new Advanced Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by five per level. Added a new Improved Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by 10 per level. Base personal construct slot count increased from two to 10. Bonus from Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from two to three constructs per level. Bonus from Advanced Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from one to five constructs per level. Introduced new Improved Core Unit Upgrades talent for 10 constructs per level. Legate Organization Construct Management talents no longer grant direct construct capacity to the organization but provide a maximum limit on construct count in the organization. Talent points previously invested in these talents have received a one-time reset and are free to be spent once more. Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 25 per level. Organization Construct Management Specialization talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 75 per level. Advanced Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 225 per level. New UI for organizations allowing for insight into their construct slot availability and usage count as well as visibility on abandoned construct and slot allocation given by individual players to the organization. In a future update, organizations with constructs in excess of their capacity will receive an in-game warning during a bi-weekly construct check. If the organization doesn’t rectify the construct slot excess, random constructs belonging to that organization will be marked as  abandoned from the organization until the available slots and constructs are reconciled. Introduced new JSON export to clipboard buttons in the Organization Construct UI. RDMS UI polish The RDMS UI has undergone a pass for improvements and polish to bring them more inline with other interfaces. Dropdown elements are now removed from the dropdown when added to the list of selected elements.  Talent UI polish The Talent UI has undergone a pass for improvements and polish to bring them more inline with other interfaces. Added Talent search field. Added the option to hide completed talents. Collapse All and Expand All buttons added. Clear Queue button added. Camera Lua API Added Lua Camera API, under System: [event] system.cameraChanged([int] mode): Emitted when the player changes the camera mode. [number] system.getCameraHorizontalFov(): Return the current value of the player's horizontal field of view. [number] system.getCameraVerticalFov(): Return the current value of the player's vertical field of view. [int] system.getCameraMode(): Returns the active camera mode. [bool] system.isFirstPerson(): Checks if the active camera is in first person view. [vec3] system.getCameraPos(): Returns the position of the camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldPos(): Returns the position of the camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldForward(): Returns the forward direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldRight(): Returns the right direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldUp(): Returns the up direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraForward(): Returns the forward direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraRight(): Returns the right direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraUp(): Returns the up direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. Added Lua Camera API, under Unit: [bool] unit.isMasterPlayerSeated(): Checks if the player currently running the control unit is seated. [int] getMasterPlayerSeatId(): Returns the UID of the seat on which the player currently running the control unit is sitting. Deprecated system.getFov() function to be renamed by getCameraHorizontalFov().  
Balancing
Abandoned construct core units can now only be replaced with new core units and can no longer be repaired with scrap. Base personal construct availability has been increased to 10. New organization construct slot has been added at a base level of 10.  
Talents
Existing talent changes: Bonus from Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from two to three constructs per level. Bonus from Advanced Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from one to five constructs per level. Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 25 per level. Organization Construct Management Specialization talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 75 per level. Advanced Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 225 per level. New talents added: Added new Surface Harvester talent group Added new Surface Harvesting Efficiency talent, decreasing surface harvesting time by 10% per level.

Added a new Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a players available organization construct slot count by three per level. Added a new Advanced Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a players available organization construct slot count by five per level. Added a new Improved Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a players available organization construct slot count by 10 per level.

Hello Noveans,
 
We have released the Panacea update today, DU is now in version 0.28.0. The changes can be found below:
 
New Features
Vertex Precision Tool This is a new tool that will enhance the precise manipulation of the shapes of voxels by allowing a player to move the individual vertices. Home  sets the cursor to the currently-selected vertices position. End  resets the cursor to the last applied position. Alt + Home  sets the cursor to the centered 0, 0, 0 coordinates. X  toggles the grid display. Ctrl + Scroll  adjusts the grid size. The Arrow keys and Page Up/Down are used to move the cursor. The grid is not displayed for the smallest two grid sizes. Space wrecks Players will now be able to find randomly-spawned shipwrecks in space throughout Helios. There are five tiers of rarity, with lower-tier wrecks with low-value contents spawning at a higher frequency. The highest-tier wrecks will be harder to find; those who discover and harvest them will be rewarded with high-value materials and elements. Inactive Asset Requisitioning (IAR) This new system offers salvaging opportunities for active players. Inactive Assets When the subscription for an account is canceled and becomes inactive, a 90-day countdown timer begins on all the constructs owned by that account. Once those 90 days have passed, the construct is then abandoned. This also applies to constructs belonging to organizations, based on when the account of the last remaining legate becomes inactive after unsubscribing. These abandoned constructs can be claimed by any player or organization, just like any other abandoned construct. Constructs that have been abandoned for more than 30 days will be removed automatically. On Aphelia Territories Regardless of account activity, constructs parked on Aphelia territories will become subject to abandonment if not piloted for seven days. Constructs on Aphelia territories will be automatically removed if left in an abandoned state for longer than 48 hours. On Sanctuary Your constructs are safe on your territory. Aphelia territory rules still apply on Sanctuary Aphelia territories. Changes to organization construct ownership (construct slots) A new organization construct system has been introduced. The limit of constructs that can be owned  by an organization is now based on the lowest of two parameters: The organization’s legate with the highest level in the Organization Construct Management talents. The organization's slot count, which is assigned to the organization by players from a player’s available pool. Each player now has 10 base construct slots they can assign to any organization of their choosing. Added a new Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by three per level. Added a new Advanced Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by five per level. Added a new Improved Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a player’s available organization construct slot count by 10 per level. Base personal construct slot count increased from two to 10. Bonus from Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from two to three constructs per level. Bonus from Advanced Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from one to five constructs per level. Introduced new Improved Core Unit Upgrades talent for 10 constructs per level. Legate Organization Construct Management talents no longer grant direct construct capacity to the organization but provide a maximum limit on construct count in the organization. Talent points previously invested in these talents have received a one-time reset and are free to be spent once more. Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 25 per level. Organization Construct Management Specialization talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 75 per level. Advanced Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 225 per level. New UI for organizations allowing for insight into their construct slot availability and usage count as well as visibility on abandoned construct and slot allocation given by individual players to the organization. In a future update, organizations with constructs in excess of their capacity will receive an in-game warning during a bi-weekly construct check. If the organization doesn’t rectify the construct slot excess, random constructs belonging to that organization will be marked as  abandoned from the organization until the available slots and constructs are reconciled. Introduced new JSON export to clipboard buttons in the Organization Construct UI. RDMS UI polish The RDMS UI has undergone a pass for improvements and polish to bring them more inline with other interfaces. Dropdown elements are now removed from the dropdown when added to the list of selected elements.  Talent UI polish The Talent UI has undergone a pass for improvements and polish to bring them more inline with other interfaces. Added Talent search field. Added the option to hide completed talents. Collapse All and Expand All buttons added. Clear Queue button added. Camera Lua API Added Lua Camera API, under System: [event] system.cameraChanged([int] mode): Emitted when the player changes the camera mode. [number] system.getCameraHorizontalFov(): Return the current value of the player's horizontal field of view. [number] system.getCameraVerticalFov(): Return the current value of the player's vertical field of view. [int] system.getCameraMode(): Returns the active camera mode. [bool] system.isFirstPerson(): Checks if the active camera is in first person view. [vec3] system.getCameraPos(): Returns the position of the camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldPos(): Returns the position of the camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldForward(): Returns the forward direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldRight(): Returns the right direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraWorldUp(): Returns the up direction vector of the active camera in world coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraForward(): Returns the forward direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraRight(): Returns the right direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. [vec3] system.getCameraUp(): Returns the up direction vector of the active camera in construct local coordinates. Added Lua Camera API, under Unit: [bool] unit.isMasterPlayerSeated(): Checks if the player currently running the control unit is seated. [int] getMasterPlayerSeatId(): Returns the UID of the seat on which the player currently running the control unit is sitting. Deprecated system.getFov() function to be renamed by getCameraHorizontalFov().  
Balancing
Abandoned construct core units can now only be replaced with new core units and can no longer be repaired with scrap. Base personal construct availability has been increased to 10. New organization construct slot has been added at a base level of 10.  
Talents
Existing talent changes: Bonus from Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from two to three constructs per level. Bonus from Advanced Core Unit Upgrades talent increased from one to five constructs per level. Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 25 per level. Organization Construct Management Specialization talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 75 per level. Advanced Organization Construct Management talent now increases the organization's maximum construct count by 225 per level. New talents added: Added new Surface Harvester talent group Added new Surface Harvesting Efficiency talent, decreasing surface harvesting time by 10% per level. Added new Improved Surface Harvesting Efficiency talent, decreasing surface harvesting time by 5% per level. Added new Surface Harvesting Optimization talent, increasing surface harvest output by 5% per level. Added new Improved Surface Harvesting Optimization talent, increasing surface harvest output by 3% per level. Added new Improved Core Unit Upgrades talent for 10 personal constructs per level. Added a new Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a players available organization construct slot count by three per level. Added a new Advanced Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a players available organization construct slot count by five per level. Added a new Improved Organization Construct Slot Optimization talent increasing a players available organization construct slot count by 10 per level.

Yes the slots can exceed the capacity limit, in practice an organization can only have 1625 constructs due to the limit. It can however have say 10000 slots, this allows for an organization to have some buffer for gains and loses over time.
 
 
We are not telling you to tear down your builds, not at all. Quite the opposite, we love seeing players buildings in the game. 
What we are saying is that we need you to find a way to support your builds that exceed what we can grant and support you with as a single contributing member of our community.
 
I wish you all a wonderful weekend, and look forward to reading more feedback on monday.
 
Sincerely,

Sample Scripts (Control Unit Interaction)
These scripts show some simple examples of Control Units interacting with screen units.
 
Light Control (Screen to Programming Board) This example demonstrates clickable buttons on a screen unit, that set the screens output to a value, the programming board reads that value and then clears it and toggles lights based on that data. (See the top section for the programming board code)
--[[---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Add the following section to a programming boards System.Update() -- Link the screen unit and three lights to the programming board -- Name the slots in the programming board respectively: screen, light0, light1, light2 local handlers = {} handlers['Light 0'] = function() light0.toggle() end handlers['Light 1'] = function() light1.toggle() end handlers['Light 2'] = function() light2.toggle() end local output = screen.getScriptOutput() if #output > 0 then screen.clearScriptOutput() if handlers[output] then handlers[output]() end end --]]---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Screen render script below -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- font = loadFont('Play-Bold', 32) rx, ry = getResolution() cx, cy = getCursor() layer = createLayer() click = getCursorPressed() -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- if not Button then local mt = {} mt.__index = mt function Button (text, x, y) return setmetatable({ text = text, x = x, y = y, }, mt) end function mt:draw () local sx, sy = self:getSize() local x0 = self.x - sx/2 local y0 = self.y - sy/2 local x1 = x0 + sx local y1 = y0 + sy local r, g, b = 0.3, 0.7, 1.0 if cx >= x0 and cx <= x1 and cy >= y0 and cy <= y1 then r, g, b = 1.0, 0.0, 0.4 if click then setOutput(self.text) end end setNextShadow(layer, 64, r, g, b, 0.3) setNextFillColor(layer, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 1) setNextStrokeColor(layer, r, g, b, 1) setNextStrokeWidth(layer, 2) addBoxRounded(layer, self.x - sx/2, self.y - sy/2, sx, sy, 4) setNextFillColor(layer, 1, 1, 1, 1) setNextTextAlign(layer, AlignH_Center, AlignV_Middle) addText(layer, font, self.text, self.x, self.y) end function mt:getSize () local sx, sy = getTextBounds(font, self.text) return sx + 32, sy + 16 end function mt:setPos (x, y) self.x, self.y = x, y end end function drawFree (elems) for i, v in ipairs(elems) do v:draw() end end function drawListV (elems, x, y) for i, v in ipairs(elems) do local sx, sy = v:getSize() v:setPos(x, y) v:draw() y = y + sy + 4 end end function drawUsage () local font = loadFont('FiraMono', 16) setNextTextAlign(layer, AlignH_Center, AlignV_Top) addText(layer, font, "Activate board to enable buttons!", rx/2, ry - 32) end function drawCursor () if cx < 0 then return end addLine(layer, cx - 12, cy - 12, cx + 12, cy + 12) addLine(layer, cx + 12, cy - 12, cx - 12, cy + 12) end -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- local buttons = { Button('Light 0', 128, 90), Button('Light 1', 128, 290), Button('Light 2', 128, 490), } drawFree(buttons) drawUsage() drawCursor() requestAnimationFrame(5)  

 
 
Light Control (Screen to Programming Board) This allows you to create and use toggle buttons for boolean values, the examples flip not only their own state, but also the horizontally neighbouring toggle.

Following some research we found that a lot of smaller organizations tend to assign legates quite liberally. We believe that could be in part due to the inability to deploy constructs in name of an organization directly. However we found there are some inconsistencies and a new right dedicated to the allocation of constructs to organizations seemed to be the right choice.
So with that, you are correct, this is a new RDMS right we will be implementing. That gives organizations the ability to grant construct assignment capability to members.
This will cover both tokenization and deployment of new cores in the name of the organization. 
 
 
This is indeed currently the case, with the ability to create sub orgs branching from the primary orgs to extend beyond that. And thus this was also part of the problem we faced.
As such we are still reviewing this at this time, and will likely monitor the impact of construct slots before any changes to the maximum player org membership are considered.
 
 
Things can always change in the future. However currently, for Panacea, these numbers won't change.
 
 
As I've heard some confusion about this in a few places, I'd like to take a moment to reiterate that the old organization talents that we will be refunding, do not grant you slots.
They simply act as an overarching limit to the absolute maximum amount of constructs permitted inside a single organization.
 
These talents will remain the same in terms of talent point investment cost, however the bonus they apply has been scaled up significantly.
Only the legate with the highest talent benefit apply, and the organization starts with a limit of 0 constructs.
The first tier of talents awards an increase of the organizations limit by 25 per level, brining the maximum up to 125 at 5 talent levels invested. The second tier of talents awards an increase of the organizations limit by 75 per level, brining the maximum up to 500 at 5 talent levels invested. The third tier of talents awards an increase of the organizations limit by 225 per level, bringing the maximum up to 1625 at 5 talent levels invested.  
So bringing your second tier talent to level 2, will effectively set your organizations limit up to the pre-Panacea maximum limit.
 
I hope this answers most of your questions about the upcoming changes and brings you all more understanding.

It would require a legate inside the organization to have trained the above mentioned talents all the way back to the maximum.
And it would also require sufficient slots from players (Members of the org or not, that doesn't matter) to be assigned to that organization. Which would mean that if every slot provider of the org had fully talented into their slot capactity, and dedicated all their slots to that organization. 17 large slot contributions could bring you above a construct capacity of 1625. Which is the hard limit beyond which a single organization cannot own more constructs.
 
 
Yes
 
 
Actually its 30 days.
 
 
This is the case already, take a close look at the screen shots in the first devblog and you'll see what information is available there. You can even extract a JSON from the UI and develop your own tools to keep track of these things for you if you wish.

We believe that could be in part due to the inability to deploy constructs in name of an organization directly. However we found there are some inconsistencies and a new right dedicated to the allocation of constructs to organizations seemed to be the right choice.
So with that, you are correct, this is a new RDMS right we will be implementing. That gives organizations the ability to grant construct assignment capability to members.
This will cover both tokenization and deployment of new cores in the name of the organization. 
 
 
This is indeed currently the case, with the ability to create sub orgs branching from the primary orgs to extend beyond that. And thus this was also part of the problem we faced.
As such we are still reviewing this at this time, and will likely monitor the impact of construct slots before any changes to the maximum player org membership are considered.
 
 
Things can always change in the future. However currently, for Panacea, these numbers won't change.
 
 
As I've heard some confusion about this in a few places, I'd like to take a moment to reiterate that the old organization talents that we will be refunding, do not grant you slots.
They simply act as an overarching limit to the absolute maximum amount of constructs permitted inside a single organization.
 
These talents will remain the same in terms of talent point investment cost, however the bonus they apply has been scaled up significantly.
Only the legate with the highest talent benefit apply, and the organization starts with a limit of 0 constructs.
The first tier of talents awards an increase of the organizations limit by 25 per level, brining the maximum up to 125 at 5 talent levels invested. The second tier of talents awards an increase of the organizations limit by 75 per level, brining the maximum up to 500 at 5 talent levels invested. The third tier of talents awards an increase of the organizations limit by 225 per level, bringing the maximum up to 1625 at 5 talent levels invested.  
So bringing your second tier talent to level 2, will effectively set your organizations limit up to the pre-Panacea maximum limit.
 
I hope this answers most of your questions about the upcoming changes and brings you all more understanding.
