Thermoplast suddenly becomes available to open in a LAWK game, but it shouldn't be, and there are no thermosynthases about thrive

[Teashrock]

Is this a save that was continued from an earlier Thrive version?

It is, yes.

Could you maybe verify if it happens each time for you (and maybe record a video so that I see the exact things you do)?

Okay, I'll do this when I can.

Could you provide a save from step 5 so that I could easily go into the editor and see the problem?

@hhyyrylainen
Sure, I'll do eventually (not at my PC now). I assume the save file I attached doesn't suit, right?

Your save might be fine, but when I played it I didn't see thermoplast in the editor, then I exited the editor and engulfed one of the endosymbiosis targets to get that done. Even after placing the endosymbiont I see that chloroplast is unlocked but I do not see thermoplast (or the eukaryotic variant) appearing.

I checked your log file again and it doesn't look like it has any errors related to this problem, though this is pretty interesting error as I've not seen that before:

Here's the save:

This thing is the species you should engulf:

That error is doubly weird as there is no longer anything in the game that refers to "Oxytoxy.shape" the shape file has been renamed. Is this a save that was continued from an earlier Thrive version? If so I'd like to mostly chalk up this bug as having something to do with that.

This thing is the species you should engulf:

If the endosymbiosis was already started in the other save, there's not another species I could have engulfed, so the bug quite clearly didn't trigger for me for some reason. Could you maybe verify if it happens each time for you (and maybe record a video so that I see the exact things you do)?

[hhyyrylainen]

It is, yes.

Could you also try starting a new game with 0.6.7 and seeing if the problem happens again? If it doesn't then this is a problem just when continuing an earlier save, and while it could be fixed in theory it's unlikely to be useful as in a few Thrive releases fixing this bug will become irrelevant.
