There is no public list of bugs and known problems with the game. There are more than a few in the latest patch. This matters, because the game is not under active development and only serious bugs(crashes) are getting fixed. People should know what they're paying for.
Technically there's a list, but Discord is *famously* unsearchable. For instance try searching for "undo", and you currently get 12 pages of talk, and there's precious little you can do. You can manually click on each reply in those search results to see if it talks about your undo problem. Undo is a big feature in the game, so you'd think a problem where undo no longer works after save&quit, and continue, would get noticed and fixed years ago. Not at all. You'd think Discord would let for 2 words at once, but no, or maybe not every server. Then I could search for *undo* and *continue* and I would at least know if it was reported or not.
FAQ of slipways doesn't mention a list of known bugs. It's nowhere at Steam, or reddit, or itch, or gog, or slipways.net. I'm making one. I'm saving it in a text file in case this thread has an accident.
Freezes and crashes
--------
1. The "backup offline game installer" doesn't support alt-tab or switching virtual desktop if something outside the game urgently needs your attention. You do that, you go back, and it complains about no GOG Galaxy, even though you specifically installed the version that doesn't need it. The game freezes and becomes utterly unresponsive to clicks.
Load game bugs
--------
1. After loading a game in progress, all your pins (planned construction) are gone.
2. After continuing a run, you can no longer use "undo". It says: "no actions to undo". Normally, undo is only prevented if you've revealed new information(sending a probe, checking out Council tasks, checking out a forebear ruin etc.). You've done nothing of the above and you're forbidden.
Gameplay bugs
--------
1. Tourist resorts incorrectly display the number of required import connections. If you upgrade one two times(to Successful) by providing people resource and goods via Enlightenment, zooming in on the planet says: "Requires at least 3 import routes." and below, "1/3". But you've already provided 2. How it actually works: you only need one more, and it has to be bots.
2. Aphorian Capital can show incorrect happiness bonus when being placed. You can have 2 planets side by side displaying the same +4%, when in reality one of the locations grants you +3% if you're not paying attention. One of the planets used Enlightenment, the other did not. Be careful.
