Trumble Trouble

[Lestradae]

I am not sure if my Trumble behaves as it should.

In my ancient C64 version, there would be one trumble onscreen, then two and in the end up to ten which would clog up the view.

In my today`s Oolite version, there is one trumble onscreen. It stays one, doesn`t grow or something like that.

In the ancient C64 version, the Trumble(s) would be listed on the freight screen, i.e. "22386 furry little trumbles".

In my Oolite version, nothing. Sometimes it says "Trumbles have eaten a ton of food" or such during flight, but that`s it.

Is that intended behaviour? Or is something broken? It seems weird to me that Oolite way ...

Thanks in advance for answers,

Lestradae

They grow, but quite slowly.

[Lestradae]

... they are not shown on the freight screen? There are not more than one on the viewscreen? No way to find out how many I have on board?

If the answers are yes, perhaps I should move this topic to the "Suggestions" forum ...

Again, many thanks @reply

Oh, there will be more than one on the viewscreen... Just be patient.

But no, they are not shown in the inventory. Anyway, their activities are hardly to miss.

Well, but! I have had my one visible trumble since one year real-time playing! Since about 100-150 hyperjumps? From "Poor (20)" to "Dangerous (800)"? This can`t be ... can it?

Ok then.

Actually, they are. A missing ton of one or the other all 15 hyperjumps? Still not sounding strange? I want more trumble madness!

Perhaps your Trumble is ill? You should bring him to a veterinary!

And I guess Trumbles multiply according to game-time, not real-time. If you were playing non-stop, though, during this year, they should of course have had plenty of time.

theit growth rates vary, i had one turn into two in about 10 minutes last night.

[Griff]

does filling your cargo hold with food speed up their birth rate? try stocking up on food & luxuries Lestradae, see if that gets them in the mood.

Maybe if you fill your cargo hold with Radioactives they'll all start glowing green

[Hoopy]

maybe once there's more than half a dozen there should be the occasional animation (and sound effect) of the commander smashing one with his fist. A gory mess could then slide down the view screen...

How do i get rid of the buggers i have 4 fully grown. They eat narcotics like Amy Winehouse on crack and clog up my view. Short of restaring the game is there a trumble terminator or something i can use to lose em?

As im typing this theyve now gone down the booze and are spawing yet more.

HELP!

Or, if that doesn't help, go here...
